The final impact, though smaller in mass to those inland, has proven to be the most destructive. The tremors caused by the initial shockwave were noticable but not as severe as the ones felt minutes earlier from the north and east. However, about 15 minutes after the collision, the sea pulls back sharply from the shore. This odd occurence is only relayed by the few survivors from the numerous fishing villages annhiliated by the enormous wave which sweeps suddenly inland seconds later. Several fishing boats and sea-going vessels are later found beached as far as 5 miles inland. The ports and harbour of the Arbor is also damaged in the lesser swell to hit their shores. Several ships are damaged as they strike the jetty's though all should be salvagable in time.
The stone buildings of Sun House itself suffered minimal or no damage. Most wooden buildings however were severely damaged or completely destroyed. Food and especially fresh water have become scarce as the seawater has contaminated most wells and stored supplies close to the coast. Thousands are feared missing or dead and those who remain are in a perilious state. In the absence of any local lord, the farmers and landholders fight each other for what clean food and water there is. Lawlessness is soon rampant.

The well armed relief troop of Prince Andry arrived with a number of members of the Healers' Band to help where they could.
Lilith Royce, back in her role as a healer once again, starts organizing a camp. Georg Reeve, captain of the Riding Dead arranges the defense. They prepare to start operations the next morning when they can see the extent of damage and where they might be most helpful. They bring with them some food but it is not enough to stave off starvation in the long run if the crops have been destroyed.

Prince Andry reads the note and scribbles the following response.
Ser Willem,
Thank you for your offer of assistance. The ruin is so great here that any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Can you please send men with clean water, basic food and blankets and tents so that we may provide basic shelter for those affected. For the safety of your men I strongly advise that this convoy is protected as those poor desperate people may overwhelm your wagons in their desire for food.
We are just north of Sun House and have set up an aid station there.
Prince Andry Baratheon, Lord of Dragonstone.
Once the message is sent off, Prince Andry sees to the dispositon of his men, making sure some rudimentary defenses are created around the camp

A food carvan with water and other basic needs arrive guarded by 100 Knights at the front is a man in the colors of Tallahar banner. He rides into the center and looks about, "I am looking for Lady Lilith or Prince Andry I am Ser Hulken Blackbar."

Prince Andry steps forward. He is plainly dressed and is slightly dirty from digging some of the graves for those whose lives have been lost. He wipes his hand across his sweaty brow, leaving a mark and says "Ser...Hulken, was it? I'm Andry Baratheon" he looks back at wagons and knights. "Thank you for the supplies. I'm sure Lady Lillith will be able to put them to good use. Can you and your men give me a hand setting up some defenses? People have been well behaved so far but I've heard from my scouts that a few lawless types have banded together and are causing trouble. The goods in the camp would likely present a decent target"

"Of course My Prince I will do anything that a man such as yourself commands." Hulken turns in the saddle and yells out orders for the 100 men to begin to make a defensible Earth ring around the Sun House.

Worried about being used as a hostage, Lilith asks for a little time to finish her chores at the camp, and then slips away down stream dressed as a rather round little boy, accompanied only by Georg Reeves, captain of the Riding Dead.
They pick up two horses from a herd that had been grazing on the other side of the hill and ride for the sea.

ooc: Okay rewind back to the entrance of Tallahar's band of many man.
Lilith Royce, Lady Bettley, curtsied before the delegation and then drew herself up to her full height.
"I am doing valuable work here good sers. Would you have me interrupt my labors for the people of your realm?"
