[[Bran Stark]], [[Hodor]], and [[Meera Reed]] and [[Jojen Reed]] stop at Queenscrown on their march to the [[Wall]]. The roofless inn is uninhabitable with a storm approaching, so they take refuge in the tower; Hodor nearly slips twice while they cross the causeway over the lake. As they wait out the storm, Hodor becomes frightened by lightning and thunder.{{Ref|ASOS|40}}

While they wait out the storm, a traveling horseman takes shelter in the ruined inn. When Bran's party observes men entering the village, Bran enters Hodor's mind as a [[skinchanger]] to prevent the scared stableboy from alerting the strangers of their presence.{{Ref|ASOS|40}} Unbeknownst to Bran, the newcomers are a party of [[wildlings]] who crossed the [[Wall]] at [[Greyguard]].{{Ref|ASOS|41}} [[Jon Snow]], Bran's half-brother, is among the wildlings, who believe he has deserted the [[Night's Watch]]. [[Styr]] orders Jon to kill the [[old man (Queenscrown)|old man]] they captured in the inn, but the youth balks at murdering the old northman. [[Ygritte]] kills the man anyway with her knife.{{Ref|ASOS|41}} Bran enters the mind of his [[direwolf]], [[Summer]],{{Ref|ASOS|56}} and attacks in the dark, allowing Jon to escape on the travelers horse,{{Ref|ASOS|41}} although Summer is struck by an arrow.{{Ref|ASOS|56}}

Two of the wildlings nearly drown while attempting to cross the causeway the next morning,{{Ref|ASOS|56}} so Styr eventually has his wildlings depart for [[Castle Black]].{{Ref|ASOS|55}} The wounded Summer swims out to the island, allowing Meera to treat his wound with nearby plants. Bran and his companions wait another day and then continue north toward the [[Nightfort]].{{Ref|ASOS|41}}
