“As you wish,” said Jaime, though it was a bloody nuisance. He allowed them to keep their arms and armor, and assigned a dozen of Gregor Clegane’s men to escort the two of them to Maidenpool. The command he gave to Rafford, the one they called the Sweetling. “See to it that the prisoners reach Maidenpool unspoiled,” he told the man, “or what Ser Gregor did to the Goat will seem a jolly lark compared to what I’ll do to you.” AFfC p.668

Jaime only says Maidenpool. Jaime is expecting Grell and Ryger to go to the Wall upon their honor as knights.

:cheers: thanks for that! I didn't have my ebooks handy for once and was going off something I'd written previously...

Oops yeah my bad. I just re-read that book too.

Me too (that part anyway) and I was still confused when this came up earlier, until I referred to an essay I wrote and noticed the reference to a dozen men. (Though sans actual quote :) )

“How many men-at-arms accompanied Ser Ronnet to the city?” Ser Kevan asked.

“Twenty,” said Lord Randyll Tarly, “and most of them Gregor Clegane’s old lot. Your nephew Jaime gave them to Connington. To rid himself of them, I’d wager. They had not been in Maidenpool a day before one killed a man and another was accused of rape. I had to hang the one and geld the other. If it were up to me, I would send them all to the Night’s Watch, and Connington with them. The Wall is where such scum belong.”

Jaime sent Robin Ryger and Desmond Grell along with Raff the Sweetling to Maidenpool to accompany them to the Wall safely. Does the bolded part mean that some of the Mountain's men left with them for the Eastwatch? Or Robin and Desmond escaped on the way to Maidenpool and Mountain's men are keeping their mouths shut about it?

The bolded part means that Tarly had to punish the two (hang and geld) and if he could, he would summarily send all of the Mountain's men to the Wall, but since they did not do anything wrong, he (Tarly) could not send them.

Keep in mind there are two groups: Raff's group and Ronnet's group. Still, the text does not seem to mean that any of the Mountain's men acted as escort to Eastwatch.

Bugger the mountain's men with a bloody spear. The real question is where are Raff and Dunsen and how will Arya take them out :D

Shitmouth, is it? :p

I have no doubt she will and I favor Nymeria as the bearer of a particular gory doom for Raff as he tries to melt into the Riverlands after departing Maidenpool. :devil:

Yeah Nymeria should take some of them. She could only get a bite from Joffrey from the list. She deserves more. Though she looks like all her attention is on Freys right now.

I think it was like 100 years after the fact, but I could be way off I think I read it in the pinned topic somewhere.

Yeah, I remember reading about a 100 years as well.

Thanks guys, that makes sense in relation to one sentence in the story itself. I was just wondering about the back story of this book, since Ran said that it had been lost for some time and only recently re-surfaced. He did say we'd hear more about it in the world book, but my imagination is running wild meanwhile... :)
