Kade patted the young woman on the bottom as she got up and walked away from the table. What came out of the man's mouth next made Kade get to her feet.
"They take vows to never touch a women again, I would never take that vow ever." Kade said, then sat down when Rowan said they were not there to take the vow.
"How large a pouch of gold?" Kade asked.
Liam smiled at the wench who winked then turned his attention back to Pia.
"Do you want me to come with you to buy warm clothes I could do with some myself." He said and shot to his feet as one of the men started to fall towards them.
"Settle boys" Liam called out and took his seat again.
"Sorry captain" The sailor said and grabbed a wench as she walked by him.

Rowan took a long drink of his ale, "A very large purse, enough to buy yourself a very large manor house," he said. "I need some good men to go over the wall and find out just what is going on. Wildlings are somehow getting over the wall and going as far south as they can get." he said. "We need to know why. I cannot give you a time frame, but you will be paid accordingly." he added.
Dion thought for a long moment. Coin wise, he was almost destitute, being a sellsword kept him fed and clothed with a tempoary roof over his head each night. "I am in," he said simply.
Pia nodded, "Sure, we will go first thing, well when we wake up. Depends how much ale I drink tonight," she added and smiled when the tavern owner came over.
"Your usual rooms Lord Liam and Lady Pia?" he asked.
Pia laughed, "I am no Lady but yes, our usual rooms," she said and downed another tankard.

Kade sat back in his seat and stretched his long legs out and listened with interest at was being proposed.The gold that was being offered was very appealing indeed. Kade was never one to have alot of gold on him but he survived with what he did get.
"I am in also, so when is this meant to happen?" Kade asked and lent over and picked up his tankard off ale and took a long drink.
Liam nodded to the tavern owner then looked to Pia.
"Well I will be having a early night and not necessarily sleeping either." he said with a wink as he watched one of the young wenches serving at the bar.

Rowan blinked in shock. Two men who were exceptional fighters had just agreed to accompany him. "We head out in the morning. The sooner the better. We will be travelling by ship to get there all the quicker."
Dion nodded, "That will be acceptable." he said.
Pia rolled her eyes and laughed. She knew Liam well and knew that the women found him irresistable. She herself could have any pick of the men in Westeros, but no one had ever piqued her interest. "Well make sure you get at least some rest," she said and laughed again. "I will meet you at sunrise," she said and stood up to join her men and Liams for a long night of drinking.
The next morning, Rowan was waiting for Dion and Kade outside of the tavern that they had drunk in. Rowan had paid for the drinks and rooms for the night.
Dion joined Rowan and waited for Kade to take them both shopping for warm clothing for the trip ahead.
Hung over and cursing the rain that had begun in the early morning, Pia rolled out of bed in order to meet Liam to get some warmer clothing. She splashed some cold water on her face and gasped. "By all the gods, I swear I am never drinking again." she moaned and quickly dressed then headed down, grabbing an ale and small loaf of bread to try and stop the churning in her belly.

Kade nodded and got to his feet.
"I have a few things to attend too before I leave, I will see you both in the morning." He said and beckoned for the young lady who had sat on his lay earlier to come to him.
Liam winked, "A few hours is all I need Pia.See you in the morning early." He said and down his ale and waved the tavern owner and asked for a hot bath and the young woman behind the bar for a few hours.
Liam called his second in charge over.
"Watch over the men, any problems come and get me and god help them if you have too." Liam said and got to his feet and strolled through the tavern up towards his room.
Liam was a fair captain, he didn't begrudge his men a good time and his men knew it but they crossed him they felt his wraith.

Pia leaned against the fence outside the tavern under the overhang eating her bread and watching the rain come down. She turned as Liam came down. "About time," she said with a laugh, and they headed into the marketplace.
Finally they found a seller who had coats made of wolf fur, one of the warmest pelts there was. He held up a black one for Pia, "Direwolf milady." he said.
Pia smirked, "Sorry to tell you this, but there are no direwolves south of the wall," she said and shook her head until she looked at the cloak more closely, "By all the gods Liam, look at the size of this and there are no joins," she added as she ran her hand over the lining, trying to feel for the seams. She looked back to the seller, "I will take it," she said and parted with the gold for the silver grey cloak.
Rowan, Kade and Dion after getting all the necessary supplies headed north west for the coast off the Iron Islands. It was a two days journey by horse, but there were comfortable inns along the way. It was uneventful, apart from a few highwaymen who decided to take a chance on the three. Rowan secured passage for them all from Banefort to Ten Towers where they would find the best boats to take them north.
On the road to Banefort, the best port in order to get to the Iron Islands, Erin encountered no trouble. Probably because the road had been cleared ahead of her.

Liam walked from the tavern and stretched and gave Pia wink.
"And good morning to you too" He said, and walked along side Pia into the marketplace.
Liam looked closely at the coat and raised a eyebrow.
"If you have another one of these I will take it" Liam said looking at the coat then to Pia.
"Would like to know who got these pelts and from were, we could make good gold from selling them" Liam said.
Erin rode her mount hard her eyes constantly scanning the landscape for on coming riders. She stopped only for short rests and to give her mount a chance to eat and drink.Then she would hit the road again pushing her mount to get to Banefort.

The man looked to Liam and nodded. "I do Milord," he said and pulled out another. this time, it was black as midnight, "I will be asking a little more for this one, black is rare, even in real wolves." he said and handed it over.
Pia gasped, "I will lend you the gold for this if you dont have it," she said then turned to the seller, "Where did you get these pelts?" she asked.
The man narrowed his eyes, "Up near the wall, near Shadow Tower," he added. "As to where, you will have to find them yourself." he added.
Pia looked to Liam, "Screw going South, to the North I say."
There were three ships going over the short trip to the Iron Islands. The Green Mermaid was the first out of port.
Rowan made sure they secured places on the ship and brought Kade and dion cloaks, boots and warm woolen clothing. "When you are ready boys," he said and tugged the hood of his cloak.

Liam looked at the coat.
"I will take it." Liam said and looked to Pia and shook his head.
"Thanks for the offer but I have enough, and I agree we head north.Lets get what else we will need and get ready to go." Liam said and payed for the coat and guided Pia through the people to get other supplies.
Kade put the new cloak on and flipped the hood over his head.
"Damn there are some fine looking women here" he muttered as her followed Rowan and Dion towards the ship.

Pia nodded, "We will leave in the morning, I really do need to replenish the whiskey and food," she said and looked to the main street, "I am going to the dry good store and the brewers. Do you need anything delivered to your ship?" she asked.
The wind was on The Green Mermaid's side and the trip was quick though a little rougher and they came into port by late afternoon.
Rowan asked around to see if there were any ships heading North. He saw a dark man who was obviously decendant from someone who came from Essos. "Captain Liam?" he asked. "I heard you were going North? Is this correct?" he asked.

Liam nodded.
"Yes I do, I want to put a order in for the ship and get some supplies to take with us." Liam said and turned his head when he heard his name being spoken.
"Yes I am captain Liam, and yes you heard right. Now may I ask who you are and why you want to know about me heading north?" he asked.

Pia nodded, "Alright, I will see you later."
Rowan smiled and put out his hand, "Rowan Baratheon. My companions and I are heading for the wall and we need to get there quickly." he added. "I heard you are the man to talk to. You or Pia Greyjoy." he added.
Luckily when Erin got to Banefort, the wind was still blowing and a ship, The Grey Gull was set to sail.

Liam took Rowan hand and shook it.
"Both our ships are fast, we will be sailing out at first light in the morning the ships are being stocked as we speak.You wish to seek passage on my ship be on the dock at first light your not I will sail without you, we will talk gold in the morning before you all board. Now if you will excuse me I have to catch up to Miss Greyjoy." Liam said and gave a slight nod off his head.
Erin walked down the dock quickly she could see a ship was getting ready to sail with any luck she might be able to get aboard.
"Who is the captain of this ship, I wish to seek passage?" She asked.
