The Crown Fleet floats, blockading Seagard and the Riverlands and doing its best to contain the Ironborn loose within it.
We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow. How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore, Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords.
The Lucky Bastard cuts through the water toward the Crown Fleet under a flag of truce, the other ships not too far behind.
"Ahoy there!" Erik calls, "Would you mind letting us through? We'll be out of your way right quick!"
We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow. How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore, Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords.

A nervous looking Crown Captain looks at Coldiron from across the rail, where numerous men are lined up aiming crossbows.
"We've orders to contain the fleet in Ironman Bay. You're traitors to the Crown."
"History keeps her secrets longer than most of us. But she has one secret that I will reveal to you tonight in the greatest confidence. Sometimes there are no winners at all. And sometimes nobody needs to lose."
"Ah, yes. That's correct. Or, at least, that's what Benfry Smith and I wanted the world to believe. How could I properly double-cross Dagon Harlaw if he didn't believe I was on his side? Now, boys, you're welcome to join us, and do as we've been ordered by the Crown, or not, but you should know that you cannot contain us. Fewer ships, and undermanned ones at that. I should know, I commanded you lot. So what will it be?"

The man seems puzzled.
"What were your orders by Lord Benfry?"
"History keeps her secrets longer than most of us. But she has one secret that I will reveal to you tonight in the greatest confidence. Sometimes there are no winners at all. And sometimes nobody needs to lose."
"To get in Harlaw's good graces, of course! To take what men I could and exploit the hole he left in his defenses. We're sailing to Pyke, boys, to take it back for the Kraken and the Stag."

The men seem more puzzled than accepting, but they relented anyway.
