A Storm of Swords
Vargo Hoat, captain of the Brave Companions, leads a dozen of his sellswords in sacking the small sept during the War of the Five Kings. Its septon is hung upside from a chestnut tree, with the Brave Companions using his body for archery practice, and the statues of the Seven are looted for their jewels.[1]
Amid the looting, Vargo's lieutenant Urswyck arrives with the captive Ser Jaime Lannister and Brienne of Tarth. Jaime tells Vargo that his father, Lord Tywin Lannister, will pay a rich ransom for him. Vargo agrees, but says he will send a message first. Urswyck shoves Jaime and Shagwell kicks out his legs, and Zollo then cuts off Jaime's sword hand with his arakh.[1][2]
Quotes
The day was almost done by the time they found Vargo Hoat, sacking a small sept with another dozen of his Brave Companions. The leaded windows had been smashed, the carved wooden gods dragged out into the sunlight. The fattest Dothraki Jaime had ever seen was sitting on the Mother's chest when they rode up, prying out her chalcedony eyes with the point of his knife. Nearby, a skinny balding septon hung upside down from the limb of a spreading chestnut tree. Three of the Brave Companions were using his corpse for an archery butt. One of them must have been good; the dead man had arrows through both of his eyes.[1]
