Army Assembly

[The Stranger]

All Captains of both Land and Sea are ordered to assemble to hear the Free Alliance High Command's words.

[Sam]

Rodrick arrives a few minutes before the appointed time, armored in black chainmail and half-plate with his flanged mace hanging from one hip, and his shield slung across his back. He waits for the other captains to arrive, so that the briefing might begin.

[Ser Kenneth Coyn]

Ser Kenneth approaches and spotting Rodrick moves towards him throught the crowd. A tall Lyseni Man that Rodrick had not met before is with him. Neither is dressed for battle having enjoyed the past week and comforts of the city, Kenneth wears a tunic with his personal banner.

He stands near the Stormlander but doesn't say anything not sure if Rodrick would remember him.

[Sam]

"Coyn, is it?" Rodrick asked, stepping over toward the only other Westerosi captain he'd met since joining the Free Army. "Well met," he said, offering his hand.

[Ser Kenneth Coyn]

"Ahh Ser Rodrick, nice to see you again, how was the hunting?" Kenneth asked with some interest.

[Sam]

Rodrick's face soured. "A larger Braavosi fleet scattered us outside Volantis, and that Admiral seems determined to keep me from any chance at some plunder. All in all I've lost nine ships and they're not paying me nearly so well for this shit," he said.

"I hear you've made something of a name for yourself, however," Rodrick added with a wink.

[Ser Kenneth Coyn]

"Well its not too hard," Kenneth whispered, "these free city men fight like little girls," he laughed although he quickly added, "except for your men Iagon," he said trying to ease the angry look of his Lyseni second.

[Sam]

"Aye, my Tyroshi Allies broke and fled nearly before battle had even been joined," Rodrick said, spitting in the dust.

[Ser Kenneth Coyn]

"Well I guess there not used to all the war, they've been under Braavos for a long time while our fathers and grandfathers and great grandfathers have been warring for nearly a century," Kenneth said offering up a wine skin, "and fighting Others and Ironborn and all other kind of horrors."

[The Stranger]

The Captain-General clears his throat, and stands up beside the Admiral.

"Captains. We've summoned you here to fill you in on the next steps. As you know, we have successfully turned Pentos to the Alliance, although efforts at Volantis were temporarily stymied. It is our intention to continue to strike at Braavos's puppets. The next target will be a landing against Lorath, and as such it will require both naval and land assets. It is dangerous... so we will be taking volunteers first."

[Sam]

"You think they pay better for Volunteering to do dangerous shit?" Rodrick asked Kenneth quietly after the Captain-General finished speaking.

[Ser Kenneth Coyn]

"You'll have to wait is my guess," Kenneth said "if they can get you for free they will although in this case they may just assign people, they paid for us already."

[Sam]

Rodrick shrugged, and then stepped forward, calling his willingness to volunteer in a loud clear voice.

[The Stranger]

"See, that's how it's done. Who else wishes to volunteer?" Antonius asks.

"We'll need at least sixty ships, and six thousand men, so please don't be shy."

[Ser Kenneth Coyn]

"Captain General, I'll serve with my brother from Westeros," Ser Kenneth says raising his banner.
