Line 16:
As the wildlings march Jon Snow and Qhorin Halfhand up into the Frostfangs, the older ranger gives Jon some orders: stick with the wildlings, ride with them, turn his cloak and become a [[Double Agent]] to help Mormont defend the Wall. To aid in this, he starts yelling at Jon for being a traitor, and knocks him down an embankment. The others, particularly Ygritte, look on with some sympathy.
 
Tyrion and Bronn are trying to find a way to defend King's Landing. Tyrion pores over some huge [[Door StopperDoorstopper]] while Bronn cleans his nails with a compass. Bronn is dismissive of books in general, but Tyrion defends his choice of book--"''An History of the Great Sieges of Westeros,'' by Archmaester..." How would ''you'' pronounce "Ch'vyalthan?" "Shevlathen," Tyrion tries, "[[No Pronunciation Guide|Shevelatesh]]." Bronn goes with "Sh'''val''-teesh." Varys, happening in, congratulates the gold cloaks for orchestrating a drop in thievery, which Bronn orchestrated by rounding up all the known thieves. "It's just the unknown thieves we have to worry about now." This will keep the peace, Bronn explains, since [[Truth in Television|food is worth more than gold during a siege]], and thieves are the last people you want in charge of your economy. Full of [[Hidden Depths]], this man. ("Ahhh, ''The Great Sieges of Westeros''," Varys exclaims. "Thrilling subject. Shame Archmaester [[Running Gag|Sh'viathan]] wasn't a better writer.") Finally they get down to business, and Tyrion pinpoints the Mud Gate as the key point of contention in the coming battle: it's structurally weak and only fifty yards from the riverbank. Bronn suggests the defenders throw down books; Varys protests that they don't have enough books, and Bronn returns that they don't have enough men either. "What ''do'' we have?" Varys asks. And Tyrion replies, "...[[Eureka Moment|Pigshit.]]"
 
Up at the Fist of the First Men, Grenn, Sam and Dolorous Edd are digging latrine ditches. Grenn comes across a stone marked with the insignia of the First Men, and upends it to find a black cloak of the Night's Watch wrapped around a cache of spearheads and arrowheads made of dragonglass, or what the maesters call "obsidian." Dolorous Edd concludes that somebody--presumably a crow--wanted this cache to be found, but nobody is able to figure out ''why''.
