Crikey, I’ve been drinking out of the horns all day. Give me a moment to chug-a-lug, a quick rinse, and we are ready to blow. If only I had one of those dragon glasses...

Dolorous Gabe Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 PASSAGE THREE ANSWERS 1 Secretly tallies bare threads Arya Stark (Arya lists the people she intends to use Needle on) 2 Lonely rider overtaken. Dark. Jon Snow (Jon rides from CB to join Robb's army but is chased and brought back by his friends) 3 Lowlifes' revolt orchestrated death Jeor Mormont (the lowlifes of the NW target and kill Jeor in their mutiny) 4 Lord...Reserved...Outplayed...Decollated. Ned Stark (Ned: reserved Lord played the game and lost his head) 5 Soft tones breed treason. Roose Bolton (Roose talks very softly and surprisingly, then plots against the King in the North. 6 Stubbed toes betoken troubles. Theon Greyjoy (toes become stubs for this highly troubled character) 7 'Sword!!!' told (believably) to... Catelyn Stark (Lady Stoneheart hears Brienne say a word, confirmed by GRRM to be “sword”) Theme: characters who have spoken the words “winter is coming” on page. Well, my first hints were references to myself being in Winterfell awaiting winter whilst you were voyaging. I then reminded stalwarts and informed newbies that I once did a theme about characters who had said “words are wind”. Then I had the narrative suggest winter being on its way or already here. A number of players did get it. Right, battle begins and will end once all votes are in for favourite clue. Please vote ASAP, let's be done with this battle.

Castellan Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Can't think of a good excuse for not getting the theme, given you reminded us early on of your previous 'words are wind' theme. I am quite theme blind. Or partially sighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolorous Gabe Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 I want to say, you all did wonderfully well with the tricky four-letter acronyms in the last round. I think the standard of clues was exceptionally high. That is currently reflected by the voting so far too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my defense ... I don't have one. I mean I did try to log on at the last second and somehow managed to botch my password enough times that they locked my account, but that's hardly justification.

Dolorous Gabe Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 a free shadow has just guessed every author of the R3 clues correctly Whilst we await the final remaining votes to come in, do feel free to have a go yourselves.

Dolorous Gabe Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 Apologies for the delay. I am lacking two votes although I suspect one isn't voting. I will give it till tonight when I get home in around 6 hours, then I will finish the game regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
