Commanders:
- Samarro Saan "the Last Valyrian" (+4 Naval Battles, +1 Charisma, +2 Survival, +1 Duels, +1 Assassination, +1 Wealth, +1 Capture, +1 Pillager)
Angry and bitter from defeat, and fresh from rest and repair, the pirates and sellsails of the Narrow Sea come back to the Crownlands for another assault. Looking for revenge and to repay what was lost to them at Dragonstone, they seek to land on Claw Isle, slaughter all who resist, and sack the island, looting every corner, nook, and cranny.
The fleet flies in at full force, coming from the open sea to the west, following no coast lines. They attack at night, if possible.
The buccaneers and sellswords ransacked the island, tearing apart every village and searching high and low for gold, silver, anything of value, and supplies. A full two days of the chaos went on before Saan could get the armada back to some semblance of order.
Despite this, the fleet found scant little, compared to the tales they told of treasure and wealth when speaking of Claw Isle and the Celtigars.
It was not nearly enough. What had been gathered from the island was worth naught more than a few of the most expensive whores back home in Lys. Samarro looked up at the small keep, the Clawfort, and considered how long it might take to capture the place..
[1.5 RL days, as per minor castles with no warning?]

The fleet circles around, oriented around the castle's harbor as a wall of anchored warships.
The landsmen and sellsails alike gather around the fortress, setting up camp on the ravaged island.
Siege lines form; though this is Saan's first time facing an Andal fortress, he is quite confident.
He is, however, not very confident that he will find riches within. Still, the castle must be threatened, and ravens must fly..
- Ram & Light Ladders are ordered constructed, 12 hours (12:00 PM Pacific Time, May 1)
- The men are ordered to watch for ravens flying from or to the keep, but not to shoot them down. Instead, they must inform the captain, Saan.

(7 hours and 30 minutes from now)
Saan decides to order the crews and landsmen to assault the keep with the ladders hacked out from the forests nearby and tree trunks made into battering rams. The island had been useless so far, raising little but supply for his horde of sellsails and mercenaries.
It would have to serve as a fortress of his own instead, once he uprooted the Celtigars from the island.
Only the Light Infantry attack, the Heavy Infantry and Polearms hang back.
