    Default Raiding the Isles

    Solareon was unsure if anyone else would join him, but he was undaunted. He had a particular mission to accomplish in this war that also aligned with his interests. Nobody had asked the Prince what, exactly, they were going to receive in compensation for their hard work. He had 233 knights left to him, the job would be to find which smallfolk were disloyal, and then take everything they owned. It wouldn't necessarily be a political move made with a scalpel, but it would have to suffice. Maybe Marbrand would come along, that would truly be interesting.

    Lannister barked some orders. "We will ride north and east, towards the areas we know to be less than loyal to the prince. He at least should have no objection to us going there and wreaking havoc upon the usurper's last remnant of support on the island. Perhaps their loyalties will shift, but that would only be an added bonus."

    Even if he sailed back to Westeros with a handful of gold it would be worth the military credit. He had already proven himself in pitched combat, taking great personal risk and emerging victorious.

    Should we split to cover more terrain?

    Ser Allard rode among the knights. He had never left Solareon's side since they had boarded the ship taking them to the Isles

    "I think not. We would be too few and vulnerable then." Solareon was glad for his company. Perhaps if he was lucky they would share a tent. "We can't know much about the terrain, or what traps lie before us. We are rather relying on the Summer Islanders not standing up to a charge of heavy horse, though I think it is a safe bet."

    Solareon spurred his horse forward, beckoning his men to follow. They would proceed northward from the camp and then turn east to ravage the countryside near one of the cities...Fallen Tree or something like that. It held the treasury...

    [ooc: Can you PM me some detail about what you're hoping to accomplish here? As you've departed from the planned 'path' of events, I need to improvise something for you, and knowing the general objective will help me create a decent challenge and risk/reward set-up.]
