(Nah, that's alright. I was still weighting on Tormund's death... Jakin and Lisbeth's plot though, hahaha XP)

Farrun's losses were heavy, Farraud and most of the Red Company died protecting their companions, Lokregar's crew was no longer amongst them and the whole force of Fort Storig was wiped out.

Tormund stared blankly at the map in front of him, having just received the news about what happened back at Thorkan Park. Duke Draluc, Lord Lucius, Captain Vici and the King's Quartermaster were all patiently waiting for the giant breton to break the silence.

Jacques cleared his throat, "Captain?".

"I heard you well enough, Chandagnac. I just don't know what to do... My brother, Farraud and now the young King. It seems that my allies are dropping like flies, so what would you have me do? The fucking High King was in on this mess all along, King Damian betrayed us and Rob's own men twisted a dagger on his back.", Tormund spat, rather annoyed.

"Well, staring at nothingness will not accomplish anything. You know what the Captains' wishes are, it would be a start to allowing their wishes to be fulfilled.", the breton really had no problem saying what crossed his mind.

Lord Lucius shifted uncomfortably on his chair. The old man was completely against what the Captains of Farrun's fleet asked and apparentely, King Tormund was about to give them. Vladir realized the same, keeping his stone-cold glance over the map beneath his King's hands.

The ancient vampire fixed his eyes on the black drawing that represented his home, the Dark Tower and sighed. He knew that he'd need to go back now and meet his fate... Luckily, Lisbeth managed to use the battle to disappear so at least she was safe.

"You make a good point, Jack. Tell them that they have my permission, let us bring forth the old ways.", Tormund finally said, putting a wide smile on Chandagnac's face. Immediately, the Quartermaster nodded and left.

"Now that we're the only ones here, I must inform you our next step. We'll sail back to the Capital and once there, we'll need to cleanse our lands of the enemies. Obviously, those traitorous bastards will come after us and that is something that could lead into the beginning of something much more terrible than this current war. Vladir will inform you of what is going on back home and why we kept ourselves from going back.", Tormund motioned Duke Vladir and the vampire begun to tell his tale, finally bringing everyone on par of the dire situation.

...

"He agreed!", Jacques Chandagnac smiled upon entering the Captains' tent.

"Ye be talking the truth, Shandy? This old sod here wouldn’t be able to endure another one of yer awful jokes.", Kali'kar replied, suspicious.

"Aye, my giant, redguard friend. The King said he was aboard on the idea of bringing back the old ways. We are free to do as we please! We'll avenger your men's death, Lokregar!", the Quartermaster of the Queen's Halberd slapped the orc on the back and some of the men cheered.

"We will pay it back Farraud's death in full!", more cheers and some chants begun, mostly from the redguards that once were part of the Red Company and now belonged to Kali'kar's crew, "We will show those skeevee-faced, swine-loving sons o'bitches that they are no longee welcomed on our waters!"

The men went mad, finally unleashing rheir frustations onto the booze and the chanting.
