ROUND SIX ASSIGNMENT

 

Tyrion's Escape

The Spider helped him escape, right? That creepy, spindly foreigner who knows all the underground passages. Or was something else going on? How do the singers interpret this? And Tyrion is a monster, right? Regicide followed swiftly by patricide? What more is there to this story? Is there an alternative viewpoint? Is there a songwriter with other ideas? How did this happen?

 

Use one of the following acronyms to create a song title for a minstrel of your choice

B R H

O M F A S

R I T D M F E

 

Tuesday 18th May at 10pm is the deadline

Well, I said I had a habit of leading and then faltering back, lol!

Congrats, AssHat Ahai!

Thank you, but I feel perhaps we are but your playthings.

9 was great. It worked on three, maybe four levels. Well done Howland.

btw, you can just call me Asshat.

I know, I was pretty proud of it.  But I'm not sure how many of the players are familiar with Of Monsters and Men.  I tried to give a hint with Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir as the bard but the only way anyone who didn't already know who they were could catch would be if they googled it.  Also not sure how many people knew where the Wall scenes were filmed in the show.
