Still on board the Selaesori Qhoran, Tyrion jousts on Penny's 'Pretty Pig', for the amusement of the crew in hopes of sweetening their mood, after the ship had floated becalmed in the Gulf of Grief and trying to towing the cog north in hope of finding a breeze, that huge cog using small rowing boats in that hot weather didnt help.

Tyrion and Penny talk and then the ship moved, Everyone cheers until they notice the storm front looming on the horizon, Moqorro states that this the storm from their visions(the reason that the ship won't reach Qarth). During the Storm the main mast breaks crippling the ship. Moqorro and others are swept overboard, the captain and the cook die, and Tyrion is wounded from splinter. for 19 days the ship barely manages to stay afloat as food and water dwindled and the sun beat down on them, relentlessly. When a sail turned up on the horizon, reigniting hope in them until Jorah realizes it's a slaver ship.
