thewingedwolf Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 As I finished my re-read of ADWD I got to wonder about which free companies Justin Massey would be able to hire. We know right off that the Golden Company (which was Stannis's first choice) is out fo the question and it seems that most of the companies (at least the ones we know about) are somehow involved in the siege of Meereen. I am sure there are many more companies we have no knowledge of but still I would fin it pretty cool (and ironic) that, if, hiring companies currently committed to the Yunkai'i Justin Massey would somehow contribute to accelerate or facilitate Daenerys's return to Westeros by lifting the siege of Meereen. As I said, I do assume that there are many more companies we do not yet know about but I think it would be a pretty cool plot twist if somehow the stories became intertwined.Thoughts? Comments?

Naathi Prince Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 None of the ones we've seen in Meereen. They aren't available right now. There are plenty of other companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

998 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 One [of Stannis's knights] does not simply complete a task competently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course my post rests upon the assumption that Justin Massey will actually make it to Braavos . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pat Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 there was a war between Myr,Lys and Tyrosh that never got going or stalled out. They must have had some soldiers.I could have the citys wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewingedwolf Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Well he's more capable than the others, although that's not saying much.I definitely think he is propbably the best guy Stannis had for the job. I still think it would be pretty funny if he inadvertently ended up helping Dany by stealing away some companies from the Yunkai'i . . . Bet Melisandre didn't see that one in her fires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewingedwolf Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 He'll probably end up helping Asha, instead of completing his duty.You may very well be right but I hope not, however I could see him try to sneak her out with him to Braavos.

Mulled Wino Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Massey will make it, the IB wont let him fail at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Ro Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Massey will make it, the IB wont let him fail at this point.Agreed, there are numerous sellswords to be had in essos. With the baking of the ib they will flock to stannis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the baking of the ib they will flock to stannis.I think he will make it too. Seems like the debt owed by the Iron Throne is pretty significant so I guess the IB will push hard for Stannis.

Third World King Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 You may very well be right but I hope not, however I could see him try to sneak her out with him to Braavos.Yeah, he'll probably leave with Asha to Braavos. However, I also see him using the sellswords to try and displace Euron (after being seduced by Asha with the promises of a crown and marriage). That would be hilarious...

Florina Laufeyson Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I kinda thought maybe the Second Sons might get a notice. Of course, they are involved in the Meereen mess but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be hilarious...If he does that, he will officialy join the same category of idiots as Arys Oakheart . . . But I agree it would be funny.

Jolene Brown Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 As always, I will state my opinion that Justin Massey is not reliable/completely trustworthy, at least not under the circumstances under which Stannis has assigned him this mission. He's a fun minor character though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florina Laufeyson Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Tyrion going over to Stannis . . . Now that would be something elseIt would be an interesting way to get everyone connected to the main event. Hence why i tossed that out there. Likely? lol nah.
