Qhorin question


Recommended Posts

So rereading, I'm at the point where the wildlings capture Jon and Qhorin and I'm annoyed. The wildlings are 14 with 8 hounds and we're all aware how ill armed they are. If the Night Watch members don't split up I really like their chances of cutting their way free. What do you guys think?

Side note: Clash is the weakest book...

I might be mis-remembering: there were 5 in Qhorin's ranging party? Qhorin, Jon, Dalbridge, Stonesnake and Ebben? They probably should have sent more to scout, but more would kind of ruin the point of scouting to begin with, that's just marching. I don't think the 5 could have taken the wildlings, especially after Dalbridge dies. Ebben could probably take 3, Qhorin 2, Jon 1 or 2 and Stonesnake maybe 1 or, reaching, 2. So, ideal situation, there are still 5 left and 8 hounds. I don't like those odds, and I don't think Qhorin did either.

Maybe, but then there would be no way to infiltrate Mance's inner circle and find out what he's really up to. They'd just make their way back to the fist no better or worse off than when they started.
