Ser Rodrick arrives, pleased that the five ships he'd captured had arrived earlier that morning, bringing his fleet back up to thirteen vessels. He waits for the Admiral to give out his orders.

Kenneth arrives and heads towards Rodrick. "I never congratulated you on your battle in Lorath," he says with a smile. "What was it forty or fifty Braavosi Ships you chased off on your own?"

"It was forty," Rodrick said, smiling. He'd allowed his beard to grow out while at sea, and he'd oiled it in the Pentoshi fashion, though he'd forgone the dye that Pentoshi also often wear. "They took down a fair few of mine, though," he added grimly. "How did your own side of it go, after you left the ships?"

"Bah the Pentoshi I took on a few months back ran like little girls," Kenneth said with a smile. "Though Iagon held his own with the Lancers. He was a good man its a shame that he died in Lorath," he shook his head sorrowfully.

"Mostly they're a bunch of cowards," Rodrick replied dismissively. "I've met only a few men from these cities with any backbones at all. We got a good amount of gold out of the harbor, though, so I can't complain. I saw a group of Lyseni ships in the harbor, I was thinking of trying to hire some more hands."

"They probably have their own Captain they serve but maybe they'd be interested in serving with you after hearing of your success in Lorath. A Sellswords always looking for his next job so maybe they'd be interested in signing on with Storm's End for a longterm contact after the war?" Kenneth suggested.
"Have to win over their Captain though probably cost more then a few Golden Dragons to win him over," Kenneth added.

The Captain-General takes the stage.
"Gentlemen thank you for assembling. I'm afraid we have some news to provide you. Firstly, an army of Norvosi Qorthi and Braavosi Sellswords is marching here to Pentos. It is crucial that it be stopped before they city is brought to siege. So the army will be marching along the road to Norvos to intercept them.
While this happens, it is crucial that Braavos be unable to make use of this opportunity to attack us by sea. so the navy will be dispatched to engage Braavosi and its allies warships wherever they are found in the Narrow Sea."

Rodrick turned back to Coyn, after the Captain-General had finished speaking. "Good Luck, Ser, we part ways here, it seems. I think I shall go speak to the Grand Admiral before we ship out, so I will take my leave now."
He bowed to Coyn, and then headed toward the Grand Admiral's flagship seeking an audience with the man.

Kenneth nodded, "the Warrior strengthen you," he called out to Rodrick as he departed. He made his way up to the front of the crowd.
