==Synopsis==
Ser [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] is being escorted to [[King's Landing]] by [[Brienne of Tarth|Brienne]] and his cousin Ser [[Cleos Frey]]. He was released in secrecy from [[Riverrun]] by [[Catelyn Tully|Catelyn]] after swearing never again to take up arms against the [[House Stark|Starks]] or [[House Tully|Tullys]], and to honor [[Tyrion Lannister|his brother]]’s pledge to release [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] and [[Arya Stark|Arya]]. The oath was sworn at sword point, yet Jaime considers killing Brienne and getting away. He is still chained hand and foot. Their boat is moving down the [[Trident#Red Fork|Red Fork]] of the [[Trident]], and Jaime has Ser Cleos shave his head so he will be less recognizable should they get caught. He treats Brienne with contempt, mocking the Starks after they find several tavern wenches hung by Northmen for sleeping with the [[House Lannister|Lannisters]]. Their trip is interrupted when Brienne spots a river galley bearing down on them. The galley is under the command of Ser [[Robin Ryger]], sent by Ser [[Edmure Tully]] to return the Kingslayer. Brienne jumps out of the skiff and climbs a cliff face, knocking boulders down on the galley, sinking it. When she swims back to the boat, Jaime considers smashing her in the face with his oar, but instead pulls her into the boat.

}} __NOTOC__

[[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]] and his [[Mountain clans|clansmen]] are assigned to the van under the command of Ser [[Gregor Clegane]]. When he returns to his tent that night Tyrion finds his new servants and a whore, [[Shae]] that Bronn found for him. Tyrion wakes to horns—[[Robb Stark]]’s host made a night march and is preparing for battle. In the fight, the clansmen do well, and Tyrion captures a knight. The enemy is routed, but then Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] learns that the Stark boy is headed with most of the horse to [[Riverrun]].

==Synopsis==

A long table draped with a gold cloth has been set up on a hill over the [[Kingsroad]] for Lord [[Tywin Lannister]] and his chief knights and lords bannermen for the evening meal. [[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]], arriving late, is embarrassed as he waddles up to the table. After giving his pardons, his father tells him that Tyrion should be charged with burying the dead, the battle will be finished when he arrives. Tyrion responds that a peasant or two could be saved for him.

The news from Ser [[Addam Marbrand]] is that [[Robb Stark|Stark boy]] has moved south from [[The Twins]] with [[House Frey|Frey’s levies]]. Tyrion states that he is about to eat, and Tywin asks if the thought of facing the Robb unmans him. Tyrion replies he would prefer coming to grips with the roast pig, which Tyrion is looking forward to, which is tenderer than Robb, and smells better. Lord [[Leo Lefford]] who had had to supply the weapons for the [[Mountain clans]] uses this opportunity to quip that he hopes that the steel that was provided the 300 clansmen was not wasted, and Tyrion assures him that it will be put to good use. Ser [[Kevan Lannister|Kevan]], who Tyrion knows is giving Tywin’s thoughts, tells Tyrion that the clansmen will be put in the vanguard since they seemed so ferocious. Tyrion tells about a fight the previous night over a sausage caused wounds and a death, and still is not settled. Tywin uses this as an example of how they have a poor commander since he cannot maintain discipline; [[Jaime Lannister|his brother]] could always make men follow him eagerly, but Tyrion had to use gold and his name to get men to follow him. Tywin then tells Kevan that because they have no discipline, maybe they should not be in the vanguard, and Tyrion states he will lead the vanguard only to learn that he will be under Ser [[Gregor Clegane]], who commands the vanguard. Tyrion excuses himself after only eating one bite.

Tyrion gets lost in the camp, and only finds the clansmen when he follows the sounds of [[Shagga]]’s laughter in the dark. [[Conn]] calls for him to share their meat, and tells them to send for him when it is cooked. From there he finds his tent where Bronn is sharing wine his new servants—a groom, a body servant, and a squire (“Podrick Payne”)—and slim dark haired girl of no more that 18. The girl, [[Shae]], is a whore that Bronn had found for him.

Tyrion had told Bronn to find him a young one with a pretty face and to be sure to tell her who he is and what he is; he did not like the eyes of the girls sometimes hired to please him when they see him for the first time. He liked the girl Bronn had found. He invites her into his tent. When he asks if she is a maiden she tells him that finding out will cost him double, and Tyrion decides they will get along fine, and tells her that her duties which includes sleeping with him, serving him, and not sleeping with anyone else. When he entered her, she expressed delight, which pleased Tyrion, who thought that if it was not genuine, it was so well done it did not matter. It was a good feeling being with a woman after near a year.

He sneaks out of the tent without waking Shae. Outside he asks Bronn where he found the whore and is told that he took her from a knight with a dagger—all the pretty ones were taken. Tyrion states that he did not ask him to make an enemy, but will keep her. When he asks for the name of the knight, not wanting to be beside him in battle, Bronn tells Tyrion he will be beside him in battle. Tyrion then tells him that if he survives the battle, Bronn can name his reward, and Bronn asks who would want to kill Tyrion. Tyrion answers his father, who has put him in the van. Bronn then tells Tyrion that a small man with a big shield will give the archers fits would be great in the van.

Tyrion returns to the tent to find Shae, who immediately expresses pleasure when she puts her hand between his legs. When Tyrion asks her who she was taken from she tells him that the knight was a minor figure, and a small man. When Tyrion points out his size, she comments ‘’my giant of Lannister.’’

Tyrion wakes to Shae’s cries and then hears battle horns. Outside Bronn informs him that the Stark boy had come down the Kingsroad at night, and they are forming up for battle a mile north. Tyrion had a fine suit of armor crafted for his body in [[Casterly Rock]], and so his squire and Shae help him into the oddments ill-fitting armor that could be found. Tyrion asks Shae to weep for him if he dies, and she asks how he will know. He is then helped onto his heavily armored horse and then given his battle axe. Shea tells him he looks fearsome, and Tyrion instructs his squire to take her safely home if they lose. As the sun rises and he rides north, the clansmen fall in behind him.

At the battlefield, Lord Tywin commands the reserve in his armor that puts Jaime’s to shame, and Ser Kevan the center. With their long sleepless march, Tyrion wonders what the Stark boy was thinking. Tyrion spies the massive Ser Gregor with the vanguard massing on the left. Bronn, looking at Ser Gregor, states that you always follow the big man into battle since he attracts all the archers, which Tyrion finds amusing. They hear Ser Gregor tell his men that if anyone ran he would cut them down himself, and commands Tyrion to the left and they are to hold the river. When Tyrion’s clansmen reach the river, Tyrion commands them to keep themselves between the enemy and the river. Then the clansmen start shouting “Halfman.”

Although the van is all mounted, it is made up of misfits and sweepings, including half trained boys. Tyrion notes that Ser Gregor’s men were unfit to hold the left, and wonders what his father was thinking. When the enemy appears, the numbers seem so great, but he knows that his father had more. He also notes that, despite his father being sure they would not be there, the Frey’s are among the enemy. When the first Lannister arrows fly, the enemy charges, and Ser Gregor orders the charge, and the clansmen quickly leave Tyrion in their dust. Ser Gregor’s charge is stopped by the spears except the mountains, whose horse crashes through the shield wall as it dies. Shagga rides through the line right behind the Mountain. The northmen’s line is crumbling under the assault. Then Tyrion and Bronn are in the fight, and Tyrion successfully defeats a number of northerns, including a close fight with a tall northern that Tyrion only overcomes because his horse bits his cheek, giving Tyrion the opening to kill him. Then a knight with a morning star comes at him, wounds and unhorses him. The knight calls for Tyrion to yield, but Tyion used the spike on his helmet to eviscerate the horse, and it falls on the knight disabling and trapping him. The knight yields to Tyrion. Tyrion can now see that the battle had moved beyond him the northerners were pushed against the hills being pelted by arrows. Finally Bronn rides up, and then Tyrion sees his father ride by to break the northerners. Tyrion finds the remnants of his clansmen, about half live.

Tyrion searches for his father and finds him sipping wine as his armor is removed. Tywin tells him that his clansmen fought well, Tyrion asks if that surprised him, and that they were supposed to be butchered. Tywin states that he expected the left to collapse and for the Stark boy to attack, and then fall into a trap. Tyrion asks his father why he was not informed, given that he ruined his plans, and is told that the does not trust a man that consorts with savages and [[Mercenary|sellswords]]. Tywin states that the Stark boy proved more cautious than expected, but it is a victory. Then Tywin notes that Tyrion is wounded, the blood soaking his right arm, and Tyrion asks if he can call for his [[maester|maesters]].

Ser Addam then rides up with the news that Lord [[House Cerwyn|Cerwyn]], Ser [[Wylis Manderly]], [[Harrion Karstark]] and four [[House Frey|Freys]] were captured while Lord [[Halys Hornwood]] is dead. The bad news follows: Lord [[Roose Bolton]] escaped, and the Stark boy crossed with most of the horse at the Twins and is riding hard to [[Riverrun]]. Tyrion remembers his father’s words that the Stark boy would be more brave than wise.
