Lord Urrigon Drumm, his son Balon, and their captains ride to the gates of Pyke.
"The Kraken calls, and the Bone Hand answers!" Urrigon calls to the guards. "Open up, that we might speak with the Lord Reaper of Pyke!"

The gates are open. Reavers move through them back and forth in large number.

In the keep itself they find three men in the great hall. Sebastion Greyjoy, with his uncle Kor Greyjoy, and one of his father's most loyal followers, Ragnor Pyke arguing loudly.

The captains wait at the entrance to the hall while Lord Urrigon and Balon approach the Greyjoys.
"Hail the Greyjoy!" Urrigon calls, "A great shame, what happened to your father. The oars and arms of Old Wyk are yours to command."

Ragnor Pyke turned, and called, "We sail for Harlaw. He has betrayed then Kraken and needs to be destroyed."
Kor growls, "You must calm yourself. Acting from rage will not guide a true stroke, embrace the cold of death boy."

"Harlaw? If it was him that did it, we are behind you." Urrigon growls. Balon's look is more of shock than anger. Lord Drumm continues, looking at Kor, "I am loath to spill the blood of Ironborn, but justice must be done."

Kor frowned, "There is only the word of one man who sailed with Balor... and he is the only one who says different then ship wreck."
Sebastion nodded, "I will have vengenace, I just must gather the iron fleet first."

"If there is only the word of one man to go by, then you must go by that man's word. What else would you suggest, Kor? Shall we call for a trial, and let the criminal lie as best he can, as they do in the Greenlands?"

"This means War... we must consider that... among our own." Kor replied.

"War? Hardly. Send the Harlaws an ultimatum, either they give up their lord to face justice or we ruin their house. Harlaw may be wealthy, but they cannot stand before the might of all the islands for long."

Sebastion frowned, "That sounds a good plan... do you wish to be that messenger?"

Balon stepped forward before his father could answer. "I will do it. My wife is a Harlaw, that may make them less likely to drown the messenger."

Sebatsion smiled weakly, "Then take our message south, and go with the Drowned god."
Ragnor frowned.
