Several days after Donal returns from the Vindictive Fishy a man arrives with a letter for him. It is from Helga Twotongues.
Lord Donal Stormspear,
Greeting my lord. I would ask for your company on my vessel once again. I have seen the fourth man. He returned to my vessel just the other day. He has purchased travel back to his home island. I thought you would take an interest in knowing, and I would not mind making twice the coin you paid the first time.
If you bring a small number of men you will be able to hide on my vessel until such a time as he returns, and then we can ambush him when he returns to his cabin. I have seen him wearing two sword, one like the one we saw with the snakes, but his other has a black lily.
Your loyal servant,
Helga Twotongues.

Donal receives the letter and reading it through a couple time takes the letter to his father's solar in the Baratheon manse. He approaches the guarded door and asks the guards for an audience.

He is admitted quickly, to find his father sitting by the fireplace, a whiskey in one hand and a thoughtful expression on his face. "Donal. Pour yourself a drink, I imagine you can use one after the excitement you've been causing," he said with a wry smile.

Donal bows slightly in greeting, "Yes father." He says walking over to the cabinet and with his one good hand pours himself a glass of the same color liquid that was in Sammael's glass. "Speaking of excitement, I have had news of the last member of the group that has thus far failed to complete their objective." He says putting his glass on a nearby table and taking out the letter and handing it to his father across from him.

Lord Baratheon reads it with pursed lips. "I would imagine that this is a trap. Are you well enough to go yourself? I'll send Aemon and a few men with you, in case these Snakeyes are preparing some kind of an ambush. You choose the men."

"I think you are correct, though whether it is a trap for me or an ambush for the ninja I cannot decide." Donal states, "I think that I can go, though it would be beneficial to have some more muscle if the need arises."

Baratheon nodded. "Take whomever you need, but try not to get my men killed, if you can," he replied.

"Of course not, I will also talk to Oswyn and see if he would be interested in accompanying me, I am sure he would be able to lead the men better then if matters turned towards the worse." Donal states.

He is joined by Aemon Mertyns, Donal's nephew and Lord Baratheon's grandson. "Grandfather said to take orders from you, uncle," he said, jogging to catch up. "My sword is yours, when it is needed."

"I have received word concerning the last assassin. Apparently he returned to the Vindictive Fishy and captain Helga wishes us to go fetch him." Donal says handing the letter over to his uncle with a nod in greeting towards the man's wife and Nicomo.

Yohn read the letter. "You are aware that this trap maybe a trap, right?" He passed the parchment to Nicomo.

"Of course." Donal says watching him think it over, "Whether it is a trap for me or a trap for the assassin is anyones guess, I am taking some guards with me as well. Either of you are welcome to come along as well." Donal says glancing from Yohn to Nicomo.

"High chance of being killed?!? I'm in..." Nicomo rose with a wide yellow smile.
Yohn frowned at his Sargent, and slowly rising he said. "They challenged House Baratheon the moment they sent that man to kill you... Not on my watch."
