"The Iron Titan himself." Killion remarks, in greeting, glancing to his handiwork on Orkmont. "I had heard rumors you had no reaver left in you. Happy to see they were just that."
"Prince Killion Greyjoy." he introduced himself, grabbing the man by the forearm in a show of kinship. "Now where is the Redwyne Fleet?"
He awaited his father and Saim.

Uhtred moves his left hand in a conciliatory gesture and flashes a small grin at Harwyn "I'm no lord. Drumm, Cleftjaw, good to know you both, I remember Balon from my younger years, a shame he's passed. You see fighting so far? Where was this fleet? Harwyn, your men have done well, helped sack Redwyne Harbor and Oakenshield. Got some backpay for you as usual, your men served well."
He turns as the Greyjoy approaches and accepts the clasp "Greyjoy. I wish I could tell you, we tracked them here from the Arbor, and if you hadn't seen them coming from the north, either they slipped past one of us or sailed up the Mander."

Euric arrives. He looks incandescent. "Tell me Lannisport is fucking ash."

"Its fleet is." Killion replied, not enjoying being the bearer of bad news. "But an army awaited us, making a landing ill advised. It seems the boy king is in no hurry to bring the rebel Tyrell to heel."

"He is," Euric grunted. "Just smelled that ambush a mile away. Likely the lad is going to let the Starks take care of this Rose King at King's Landing, if what I hear's true. Two cubs leading the West, no trouble from there." He looks over the burned out fleets. "This fucking Redwyne, though, well, proving quite the son of a bitch."

Killion ordered the prisoners and survivors questioned, to find out where the Arbor Fleet had sailed. He gritted his teeth in anger that Redwyne was still among the living, knuckles turning white as the multitude of rings on his fingers dug into his palms.
"It is no surprise that he is our largest hurdle." he looked over the destruction wrought on the mighty Iron Fleet "My uncle will be avenged and Lord Shaun will breathe seawater before we are through."

Uhtred observed the King and Prince of the Iron Islands interacting and momentarily felt bemused. Here he was, like nothing had ever happened, with the captains of the ironborn and yet so much had. He moved to stand next to Harwyn, leaning to the side to whisper to the man "So nothing exciting at Lannisport?"

Harwyn smirked, muttering back to him. "Those new ships smashed a few houses and probably killed a few people, but we never got the chance to land. At least you and my men got to do something besides sit on their axes."

Euric nodded and looked over the wreckage. Pol frowned. "An expensive fish to fry."

"I saw them, didn't quite believe it at first." Uhtred shifts on his feet and waits for the conversations to resume so as to not disturb[ the royalty "What's your read on the Greyjoys?"

"Killion is a worthy commander, but he let two of the ships clash in open water. We lost over a dozen men because of it." With a slow shake of his head, Harwyn continued. "No idea with Euric yet."

"Has a temper far as I can tell. Seems confident enough at sea, we'll have to see. Your men missed you." Uhtred chuckles quietly "They celebrated every night you were gone."
At that last question Uhtred raises his voice "Sailed east, least what the Oakenshield prisoners say."

Euric nodded and looked over the wreckage. Pol frowned. "An expensive fish to fry." "Considering its destruction will give us dominance at sea from here to the Stepstones, it will be a price well pain nuncle." he replied, though felt the same melancholy that their first outing had cost them so much. At that last question Uhtred raises his voice "Sailed east, least what the Oakenshield prisoners say." Killion pondered that information for the moment. If Redwyne had sailed up the Mander, then he was trapped in enemy territory with no ports to refit and repair. There was only one way out. "Then we'll blockade the mouth of the Mander with the brunt of our fleet and repay Lord Shaun with a crushing blow in kind." he stated, turning back to his father. "Allow Lord Cleftjaw and Harwyn Goodbrother take the Arbor with the remainder of Harlaw's forces and some of the smaller ships while we await Lord Shaun. That should force him out." |

Uhtred raises his eyebrows at what was happening here. Killion had been the one to hire Saim, and now he was dictating what the mans bannerlords would do? Interesting.
He hated doing this, but he spoke up again "The Arbor already burns, we've raided the sea side areas and Redwyne harbor is blocked and abandoned, useless as a port for now. What's the advantage to holding such a place?"

Quentyn smiled wide. "The advantage to holding such a place is that we hold such a place. Hard to keep the Arbor after the war if we never occupied it. And it puts us within easy striking distance of Oldtown."
