Rowan approaches his Banner Lord's command tent, he had some doubts if this risk would pay off the Dornish outnumbered them significantly but they were without their leader and showed intentions of heading home. Rowan hoped that some of the Dornish Lords would be willing to stay and fight for the Queen now that the situation seemed to be changing, but if not and they intended to fight for independence again it would be better to bloody them here then let them retreat to their mountain pass and blazing hot desert.
"Mi Lord," Rowan said with a bow he hoped Eustace was in a better mood the man always seemed in better spirits in a tent on the battlefield then in the Hand's Solar behind a desk.
"The Dornish will be here soon, should I give the order to ready the men?"

Eustace nodded, "Then I think you should ride out to speak. Even with the odds at two to one, I feel more like battle then talking."

"Under what terms, if they take the knee and swear fealty to the queen through you, you'll let them live otherwise they have to fight us?" Rowan asks making sure.

Eustace looked at his map, and then back up to Trant, "They have twice our numbers. Just get them to go home. Fealty if you can, but I think the Ironborn have just jumped to the top of our list."

"I'll do what I do best then mi lord, with those objectives in mind. Although our position should be strengthened having Blackhaven to fall back to."
With his objectives in mind he bows to Eustace and turns to saddle his horse.
Riding out with Ser Jerrod and Ser Marcus showing the colors of the Stag and Dragon and a Rainbow flag to wait for the Dornish Commanders.

Eventually a single knight rides out from the Dornish camp. "Hail."

"Good Day, you represent the Armies of Dorne?" Rowan asks making sure, "The Lord Hand is a busy man and he wants to make sure that all your nobles understand the terms?"

"Prince Aldric had most of the nobles hung from the walls of Tumbleton. Several fled after the fact. It is mostly just knights and men-at-arms left." The Knight replied.

Rowan looks surprised, "Which Lords perished and do you know the reason?"

"They committed treason." The man spoke, "They wanted to return home."

"Very well," Rowan said with a sniff,
"I ask that you deliver a message. . . those knights and men of arms that wish to return home shall be allowed to if they swear fealty to the Queen and take an oath not to march North of the Boneway again unless called by the Queen."
"However, those Knights that choose to stand and fight for the Queen and the Lord Hand will be considered for land left Vacant in Dorne caused by the death of the Martells and any Lords that died at Tumbleton without a heir or conquered land from the Ironborn, Vale or other enemy that should rise against the throne" Rowan says.
"Let those that consider our offer to fight can march North towards Summerhall and the rest of the knights who choose to go home can swear their oath before me and the camp Septon. Then you shall be allowed to pass."

He looks at him, "I will bring back your word. Most of us want to go home."

Rowan nods, "I will take the Oath of those Knights that choose to go home without consequence, I will also need a list of those Dornish Lords that were killed by the Prince," Rowan says.
He waits patiently as the man heads back to the camp realizing that it may take a few hours for the word to spread and while he did not expect many takers he hoped a few might stay for glory and potential power."
