Inquisitor Glokta Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 This thread is inspired by Light a wight tonight. Thank you very much!You'd prefer one of those "Could Old Nan beat Lady Olenna if they both had Valyrian swords?" topics? Maybe a Frey who's not a total slimeball is just refreshing. I think this is a topic worth of a lengthy thread:Which of our favorite grans from ASOIAF would win in a duel if both were wielding Valyrian greatswords?My first instinct would go to Olenna, since i think she can be a lot meaner, when it counts.BUT one can not forget old Nan. Maybe Dunk showed her a few tricks after she showed him a few. We will find out in the she-wolves.So far my money would be on Olenna! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 You should've told me you were gonna make a thread about this. Then I wouldn't have asked in the Small Questions thread. Either way, this Q need's an A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggs Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Queen of Thornes. Old Nan is old as dirt but Olennas only in her 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenlyIsNotRight Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Olenna. The old woman has some fight in her left I bet. Any fierceness Old Nan once possessed has been reduced to telling scary stories to children by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light a wight tonight Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Holy shit, somebody actually did it. I was venting my pet peeve, topics about which of two dead guys who got two lines each was the better warrior/swordsman with all the fanboys chiming in.

Any fierceness Old Nan once possessed has been reduced to telling scary stories to children by now.OTOH, Olenna is maybe 4 foot six and Nan is Duncan the Tall's daughter or something like that. Size counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Leftwich Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 If it were Valyrian steel canes, then it would be too close to call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW Old Nan wouldn't need a great sword just her sewing needles ... click..click...click...Excuse my digression...But wow. The "... click..click...click..." makes me think of her as a giant spider...like the ones she scares children with. Aaand she's always knitting her web."In that darkness the White Walkers came for the first time. They swept through cities and kingdoms, riding their dead horses, hunting with their packs of pale spiders big as hounds." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C0bR Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Old NanShe is older, therefore she is has more of old (wo)man strenght. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Walrus Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I'd say Oleanna. Old Nan seemed to be barely functioning, while Oleanna seemed to be very healthy for her age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filleted Man Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Olenna probably. She seems to be mobile, while Nan could barely walk.Mace Tyrell vs. Tyrion?Wyman Manderly vs. Illyrio?Jojen Reed vs. Sam?How about Walder Frey vs. Maester Aemon?Willas Tyrell vs. Bran? Penny, Groat, and Tyrion vs. Hodor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maegor the Cuddly Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Well, we all know Old Nan is a warg so...Olenna. though the duel would be the best thing ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
