Lord Tyrell will not allow for a fight, and instead invites the Greyjoy force to accompany his fleet.

Lord Botley signals that he still waits to speak with someone from the opposing fleet. A small longboat is lowered in preparation to go aboard one of the Redwyne galleys.

This is accepted and the man is allowed on board with great hospitality.

Lord Garrick Botley arrives onboard and bows to Lord Tyrell.
"Ah, Lord Tyrell. Good to meet you, Ser. I have a message from King Callen, recently received by raven at Pyke". He hands it over. It reads:
Lord Barett,
It is imperitive that you do not land in the North yet. I am still preparing my forces in the South to assault Moat Cailin. We must not divide our attacks, they must strike together or risk defeat.
Withdraw with your fleet to Pyke to await my further instructions.
Callen Baratheon, King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Six Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm

"Fair for the King to advise us, but I will continue according to the plan. I cannot respect all of Callen's plans."

"Plan? What Plan?" Lord Botley looks confused.

"Callen plans to use one force to break down the enemy. Unfortunately this is not how they will be best defeated. Follow me, Lord Botley, and we will put down any rebellion." Barret smiled knowingly, as if he was referencing something.

The Tyrell forces begin unloading onto the shores near Flint's Finger. With 10,000 troops this will take a day or two.
The Tyrell men are starting to grumble about diminishing supply of food and drinking water.

Lord Botley, confused and worried about Balor and the King's reaction to this news, sends a ship back to Pyke with a message for them, advising them of Lord Barrett Tyrell's actions

Hope you all are well and happy.
