"Thank you, Lord Barclay, we will soon march on King's Landing to invest or assault that city. Your fleet must be in a position to assist in the assault or blockade the port-- whichever be most appropriate. I am no expert in affairs naval, but I believe the fleets of Dorne and the Stormlands cannot be ignored. I also do not understand the full disposition of our fleets or of the allegiance of the King's fleet. A report would be appreciated. I have recieved a message of one Lord Velaryon who has some men and ships in Duskendale. I will give him his choice to remain with his ships or his men, though his men will march to King's Landing. 15 ships will be made available from the Vale's fleet for your service, and I will have them sail to join you in Duskendale. I will leave the actual operations to your discretion, but please keep me informed as best you can. Good hunting, Lord Barclay."

"It will be done, and well, Lord Grafton", said Barclay, and he put a hand to stroke the stubble recently developed on his chin and cheeks during the past few days of traveling.

Ser Lucas takes the message with thanks, and send a reply to Ser Lucas.
Lord Emmon Barclay has been put in command of the combined fleets of Dragonstone, the Vale, and those commanders loyal to the rightful King. Please coordinate activities with his command.

OOC: Unless you have anything to add to my response to Lucas, Emmon, I'm good to leave it as is. If you'd like it discussed we can change to reflect that.

OOC: That's fine, Emmon will take his leave.
Lord Barclay took his cue to leave, and saying goodbye to his fellow lords before exiting the room.

"As you wish. Lord Blackwood if you would make arrangements to select 8000 of your men and put them under command of Lord Ryger with orders to defend the Riverlands from agression by the North or Westermen." Grafton looked around the room once again. "If there are no other objections, I believe it is time we strike camp here and move on King's Landing." Warren nods. "My men have been chosen. Lord Ryger shall garrison several important castles across the Riverlands." He turns to Walder. "2,000 of your men will march among them, to hold the Twins." Warren turns back to Grafton. "There is no point in delaying any longer. Let's march."

He nodded his head and handed Warren several pieces of parchment, detailing proper supply routes for the army if they require reinformcements and restocking. Goldfinger had marked out the exact number of rations for each soldier by position and rank.

Ser Daemon Velaryon with 12 knights in tow, flying the Velaryon colours of sea green and white, arrives at the Regent's camp at Harrenhal.
He asks to see the Hand Horas Blackwood, or failing that the highest ranked officer in command.

A knight in Blackwood colors informs the Velaryon that the Hand is in the Vale. His cousin, the Lord Warren Blackwood, commands the marching Riverland forces, and Lord Dominic Grafton is the supreme general of the combined forces.

Ser Daemon Velaryon dismounted from his horse. His retainers followed suit.
After a quick survey of the area, he addressed the knight in Blackwood colors.
"Preparing to march? I'd imagine then that the Blackwood is the easier to see at the moment. Lead the way."

"Aye Ser," the knight says. He leads Daemon and his company to the heart of the Riverland encampment. Men all around them are packing up and getting ready march. Warren Blackwood stands in the middle of it all, barking orders.
"M'lord," the knight says to Warren, "This man wanted to see you."
"And you are?" Warren asks, looking at Daemon.

"Ser Daemon Velaryon of Driftmark, brother to Lord Jaehaerys Velaryon of Driftmark.
"My brother waits at Duskendale with 2,000 men and 10 warships. He also awaits some form of communication about the intentions of this host and what they require of him.
I am sent to find that out."
