Andy joined the **Lord of Fork Town** and his uncle, the captain of his vessel, **Captain Joe Rivers**, running errands on the ship. They traveled to the **Free Cities** to hire sellswords. Following their return, the ships fell under pirate attack, and engaged in clutching skirmish. If not for the aid of the Tyrinian Ships, the men would have been crushed in the pirate attack, and a treaty of alliance was signed between a **Tyrinian Fleet Captain** and the Lord of Fork Town. The ships returned to **Eastside Port**, where the Tyrinian Fleet Captain along with his men docked in **Port Ferdinand**, and dined alongside the noble lords of **House Ivanstar**, **House Swann**, **House Payne**, **House of Brune**, and **House Blount**.

The knights, sellswords, and bannermen of East Hills returned with the rebel prisoners to **Ivan's Hold**, and the freed men.
