Hosteen: We should take the fight to Stannis and make an end to him.
Harwood: Leave the castle? Would you have us charge blindly into the snow?
Roose: To fight Lord Stannis we would first need to find him. Our scouts go out the Hunter's Gate, but of late, none of them return.[3]—Hosteen Frey, Harwood Stout, and Roose
