Encamped at the [[Fist of the First Men]], the [[Night's Watch]] hear three horn blasts signifying Others. The brothers are then attacked by [[wights]] in the [[fight at the Fist]].{{ref|ASOS|Prologue}}{{ref|ASOS|18}}

While the survivors retreat through the [[haunted forest]] back to Craster's Keep, an Other knocks away [[Grenn]]'s torch and kills [[Small Paul]]. [[Samwell Tarly]] stabs it in the throat with a [[dragonglass]] dagger, however, and Sam hears a sound similar to the cracking of ice beneath one's foot. The Other's armor, flesh, and bones melt away as a result, dissolving away until nothing remains.{{ref|ASOS|18}} Sam is dubbed Sam the Slayer, which he finds mocking.{{ref|ASOS|33}}{{ref|ASOS|75}}

During the [[mutiny at Craster's Keep]], one of Craster's wives warns Sam that Craster's sons will soon arrive for [[monster|Gilly's newborn boy]].{{ref|ASOS|33}}

At the parley during the [[battle beneath the Wall]], Mance Rayder reveals to Jon that he is trying to lead the [[free folk]] south of the Wall to protect them from the Others and their wights.{{ref|ASOS|73}}
