Quinno laughed, "Your father sounds like had a way with words. Welcome aboard chap. Word is we'll be on the march soon enough. One thing about being a sellsword, little down town. The Archons don't like paying for something their not using."

"They've certainly hired enough, there is nothing but sell swords in the harbor, what do you think they intend to accomplish one big knock down battle or a lot of smaller skirmishes?"

"Well, as it was explained to me, the Alliance is smart enough to know it doesn't have the strength to take on Braavos directly. So they intend to give her a death by a thousand cuts. Strike her sycophants, like Volantis, Lorath and Pentos, and for her to expend money and men to defend them. Then when she's bled down... Then we strike," Quinno seemed pleased by the prospect.

"Wise enough," Kenneth replied knowing little of the military strength of the other free cities to make add anything of real value. "Who else is with us in camp?" Kenneth asked curiously.

"Quinno's Crossbows," He said, gesturing at the men immediately around them, "Then there are the Red Swans, The Undying Ten Thousand... there are about five hundred of them, That's over there," He points, "Is Myr's Militia, beside them, Love's Lancers of Lys, The militia of Tyrosh, and a few stragglers. Roughly 3,000 men-at-arms and assorted lancers, all said."

"Ahhhh," Kenneth said taking it all in, "fight with any of these men before? Any you'd recommend staying clear of?"

Quinno shrugged his shoulders. "I don't much care for Captain Sanguri of the Undying, but that's a personal matter between me, him, and his wife." Quinno chuckled.

Kenneth nodded, "all right then I guess I'll have to make my own enemies," he laughed.
"Anywhere in particular you want my boys to camp?" he asked. "I bet their chomping at the bit to get off the ship. I bet half of them would have bailed if they had known how the weather was going to be on the sail over."

Quinno shrugged his shoulders, "Take any space within the area that's available to you. Stay together, don't get spread out. I don't want to lose more than 5% to infighting or murders."

"Five percent ay," Kenneth considered this for a moment. "Well all right, I'll have my boys settle in, nice meeting you Quinno," the Knight said as he began to walk back towards the dock and have his men setup camp.

On the way back from the harbor, Kenneth notices the crowned Dragon flying from one of the tents and thought it looked of Westerosi origin. He stops by the tent with the Dwarf Jonathon.
"Hullo there, you boys wouldn't be from Westeros would you?" the Knight asked one of the guards outside.

"This is not so, I am hailing from Lys," said the guardsman. "But the Knight inside is being from Westeros, the Stormlands I am thinking." He poked his head in through the tent flap, and then pulled it back out. "You can be going in," he said, "and the Dwarf too."

Kenneth nodded and then entered the tent pushing the flap back, to pear in before he and Jonathon entered the tent.
"Ser Kenneth Coyn," the Knight said, "and this is Jonathon Biggs"
"thats the Astonishing Jonathon Biggs. . . your always forgetting that," the Dwarf added.

Rodrick looked down at Coyn, and even further down at Jonathon, with a smile. "I've met very few Westerosi sellswords since arriving here. Welcome, Ser Kenneth, and you as well Master Biggs. I am Rodrick Baratheon," he added, offering his hand to the knight.

"Mi Lord, I am surprised to find a man of such high station amongst common thieves and bandits," Kenneth said surprised. Kenneth added lord since he wasn't that familiar with the Baratheon family tree.
"Not that there is anything wrong with that," Jonathon added ribbing the knight with his elbow for being rude.
