Lord Quellon looked at the man harshly. "Speak," he said. "And do it quickly."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dagmer Pyke moved through the port town with half a dozen of his reavers, coming to the first of several whorehouses where he knew some of Lord Greyjoy's men had been frequenting during their time on the island. They entered boisterously, as if to be just a group of ironmen coming for a fuck, but Dagmer scanned the room carefully to see if any Greyjoy men were present in the main room and their locations, and the moved to speak with the proprietor, to see if any of them were upstairs in rooms.

The man is dead, and looks dead a half hour. It is surely the man who killed Greyjoy, but he has been rotting for an hour. They also hold a dagger with a Valyrian steel blade, and an ebony handle. A red and black cats eye adorns the hilt.

Four large Greyjoy men were lined along the bar throwing hand axes at the wall. They are close enough to hear any conversation with the bar keep.

Harlaw finds it peculiar that the man's corpse seemed to be decomposing so quickly, but did not mention it. He took the dagger and, after inspecting it for a moment, slid it into his belt. "Dispose of the body, and seal the harbor," he said, and then moved to head back up to Ten Towers.
He met his son and heir halfway; Balor looked at his father's bloodied hands and face. "Take our men, seize Greyjoy's ship. Bring his bodies and the bodies of his men aboard, and then scuttle it at the mouth of the harbor."
"As you say, father," Balor replied, and then began barking orders to the infantrymen he'd brought down from the castle, while Lord Harlaw continued up the mountain toward their home. The young heir began to march down to the harbor with thirty men, though he ordered them spread out as they moved to avoid drawing attention to a large armed force. They made their way through the harbor, toward the wharf where Lord Greyjoy's ship was docked.

The men about the ship were not on watch, just standing around passing a bottle of mead back and forth.

Balor ordered half of his men to take to the water, and move as quietly as possible. They were to creep up on the Greyjoy ship from the water and attempt to climb aboard as stealthily as possible, and begin slitting throats of the Greyjoy men. Once the alarm went up, as it inevitably would, Balor would charge the wharf with the rest of the men and overwhelm the crew as quickly as they could.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dagmer Pyke stumbled drunkenly into one of the Greyjoy men who was fingerdancing, feigning heavy drunkenness. He lurched about, mumbling an apology, as his men unobtrusively closed in around the Greyjoy men. Dagmer lurched toward the biggest one again, and as he fell into the man he buried his knife to the hilt between his ribs, while the others moved to knife the other three quickly.

The men slipped aboard the ship, and four men were dead before the fifth got off a cry. Then three more men are slain in the confusion before the rest of Greyjoy's men knew who they were supposed to be killing.
Dagmar killed his quick. And two others die, but the last breaks the wrist of his attacker, and then throws another assassin into wall, his head shattering in blood and teeth.

Dagmer moves in to silence the final man, and then orders his remaining men to remove the corpses from the brothel. He drops a fat bag of silver on the bar, and looks at the barkeep. "Any more of those fellows upstairs?" he asked, as his men begin to carry out the corpses.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Balor and the rest of his men move in to kill the remaining confused Greyjoy men. Once the butcher's work has been completed, they gather the dead men and pile them on the ship's deck, waiting for the rest of Greyjoy's men to be brought on board from the various places on the island that they'd been killed.

"Aye Bjorn Deathtide." Replied the bartender. Dagmer knew he was one of the best reavers on the seas, and deadly.

"Which room?" Dagmer asked, one hand falling to his axe. He had only one man left with him, as the others had departed to carry off the corpses and tend to their wounds, and he itched to try his hand against such a worthy opponent.

"The room with the sunken ship on the door." The keeper replied, and left the bar.

Dagmer and his companion headed upstairs, moving quietly until they came to the door indicated. Dagmer listened intently to see if any particular sounds were coming from within.

The sound of a girl moaning could be heard loudly through the door.

He hefted his axe, his companion doing the same, and the Bastard of Harlaw kicked the door in and charged through it, looking for the man and aiming to kill.

The first thing they saw was two women pleasuring one another at the foot of the bed. Dagmar froze when he heard a gurgle, and then a sickening crack.
He turned and Bjorn stood there with his hands still holding up Dagmar's companion's corpse. He was unarmed, and naked.

Hope you all are well and happy.
