Synopsis
Forty-four survivors have reached Craster's Keep of the 300 men the Watch had at the Fist. Some of the men are becoming ornery because there is so little food, and Craster seems to be hiding a larder. Mormont speaks with Sam about dragonglass, noting in disgust that the Watch once knew the purpose of obsidian weapons. Their true enemies were the Others, but they had forgotten.
Craster soon makes it clear he wants the crows gone, and several members start to accuse him of not sharing all his food. The argument worsens, until finally Craster attacks Clubfoot Karl. Dirk slits Craster’s throat, and when Mormont screams at them that there is no crime worse than murder at a host’s dinner table, Ollo Lophand stabs the Lord Commander. Sam watches in horror as the deserters begin to rape Craster’s wives, and sees the few men still loyal to the Watch flee because they are outnumbered. Grenn, Giant, Dolorous Edd, and a few others get away. Mormont, dying, commands Sam to return to the Wall with all haste. His last words to Sam are, "Tell Jorah. Forgive him. My son. Please. Go." Gilly, who had recently given birth to a son, asks Sam to take her with him. Sam and Gilly flee Craster’s Keep on horseback.
