Littlefingers In The Air Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Here's how this is going to work:You will open up one of your ASOIAF books to a random page and then post a passage from said page. Cite the book and page number and. You will then post a book from the series that the next poster has to randomly open. I'll start of course:Septon Cellador pursed his lips. "Salvation can be found only though the seven. This witch has doomed them all.""An saved the Wall, mayhaps," said Bowen Marsh. "These are enemies we speak of. Let them pray amongst the ruins, and if their gods send ships to carry them off to a better world, well and good. In this world, I have no food to feed them." ( A Dance with Dragons hardback p.522)The poster below gets A Storm of Swords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reek Havoc Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 It was queer, but he felt no grief. Where are my tears? Where is my rage? Jaime Lannister had never lacked for rage. “Father,” he told the corpse, “it was you who told me that tears were a mark of weakness in a man, so you cannot expect that I should cry for you.” (p.95) Next: A Clash of Kings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeyed chicken Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 not sure which book I should grab next - that was AFFC wasn't it Batbob45? Guess I'll do an ADWD one: "Good morrow, Hugor." Septa Lemore had emerged in her white robes cinched at the waist with a woven belt of seven colors. Her hair flowed loose about her shoulders. "How did you sleep?""Fitfully, good lady. I dreamed of you again." . . ."A wicked dream, no doubt. You are a wicked man. Will you pray with me and ask forgiveness for your sins?""No, but do give the Maiden a long sweet kiss for me."Laughing, the septa walked to the prow of the boat. It was her custom to bathe in the river every morning. "Plainly, this boat was not named for you," Tyrion called as she disrobed."The Mother and the Father made us in their image, Hugor. We should glory in our bodies, for they are the work of gods."They must have been drunk when they got to me. Next: ASOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Balerion Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 His fingers were growing stiff and his thumb was bleeding, but still Jon notched and drew and loosed. A gout of flame caught his eye, and he turned to see the door of the common hall afire. Another game would be: recite a random passage from ASOIAF and watch speech recognition make it even more random.DWD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As he jerked up his captive's maimed left hand the lightning flashed again, throwing the shadow of Davos Seaworth's shortened fingers across the blunt and brutal face of Godric Borrell, Lord of Sweetsister. "Any man can steal a ribbon," the lord said, "but those fingers do not lie. You are the onion knight."Davos 1, p.124, ADWD Next: AGOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonCon's Red Beard Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 «Muerte», lo sabía, «pero lenta. Todavía tengo tiempo. Un año. Dos años. Cinco. Algunos hombres de piedra viven durante diez. Suficiente tiempo como para cruzar el mar, para ver el Nido del Grifo de nuevo. Para terminar con los sucesores del Usurpador para siempre, y poner al hijo de Rhaegar en el Trono de Hierro» Entonces Jon Connington podría morir satisfecho. ~El Caballero Perdido Next, Clash.

Queen of Whores Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 The call came drifting through the black of night.

The Wolf Lord's Daughter Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 On and on they came, riding through the rain in rusting mail and wet leather, swords and axe clanking against their saddles. They thought they were hunting her, she knew with all the strange sharp certainty of dreams, but they were wrong. She was hunting them.

honeyed chicken Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 "Arm us!" Tyrion sprang to his feet and seized her by the arm. "You will need every sword."She knew he was right, Tyrion could see it. The mountain clans cared nothing for the enmities of the great houses; they would slaughter Stark and Lannister with equal fervor, as they slaughtered each other. They might spare Catelyn herself, she was still young enough to bare sons. Still, she hesitated.p.332 (paperback), Tyrion 4, AGOT Next: AFFC etaI like this game. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeyed chicken Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 When the herald callled, "Lord Petyr Baelish," he came forth dressed all in shades of rose and plum, his cloak patterned with mockingbirds. She could see him smiling as he knelt before the Iron Throne. He looks so pleased.

honeyed chicken Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 "Leave him where he is," Chett said. "The Wall is no place for the weak. Let him train till he is ready, no matter how many years that takes. Ser Alliser shall make a man of him or kill him, as the gods will.""That's stupid," Jon said. He took a deep breath to gather his thoughts. "I remember once I asked Maester Luwin why he wore a chain around his throat."Maester Aemon touched his own collar lightly, his bony wrinkled finger stroking the heavy metal links. "Go on.""He told me that a maester's collar is made of chain to remind him that he is sworn to serve," Jon said, remembering. "I asked why each link is a different metal. A silver chain would look much finer with his grey robes, I said. Maester Luwin laughed. A maester forges his chain with study, he told me. The different metals are each a different kind of learning, gold for the study of money and accounts, silver for healing, iron for warcraft. And he said there were other meanings as well. The chain is supposed to remind a maester of the realm he serves, isn't that so? Lords are gold and knights steel, but two links can't make a chain. You also need silver and iron and lead, tin and copper and bronze and all the rest, and those are farmers and smiths and merchants and the like. A chain needs all sorts of metals, and a land needs all sorts of people."Maester Aemon smiled, "And so?""The Night's Watch needs all sorts too. Why else have rangers and stewards and builders? Lord Randyll couldn't make Sam a warrior, and Ser Alliser won't either. You can't hammer tin into iron, no matter how hard you beat it, but that doesn't mean tin is useless. Why shouldn't Sam be a steward?" next: AFFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Finally the doors opened, and her betrothed strode into her father’s hall. She tried to greet him as she had been instructed, only to have blood come pouring from her mouth.She had bitten her tongue off as she waited. She spat it at the young knight’s feet, and saw the disgust on his face. “Brienne the Beauty,” he said in a mocking tone. “I have seen sows more beautiful than you.” He tossed the rose in her face. As he walked away, the griffins on his cloak rippled and blurred and changed to lions. Jaime! she wanted to cry. Jaime, come back for me! But her tongue lay on the floor by the rose, drowned in blood. - AFfC, Brienne VIII Next: A Clash of Kings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
