Chapter Forty - Catelyn 7 - A Game of Thrones | A Song of Ice and Fire - a podcast by A Game of Thrones
from 2020-06-01T00:00
Bronn and Ser Vardis are ready to rumble, and Tyrion's fate hangs in the balance. The pair take very different approaches to preparing for the duel. Ser Vardis loads himself down with armor like a tank, while Bronn prefers to stay quick and agile. Which method will win out? The guys will tell you all about that and so many other happenings in the chapter.
Chapter Review:
Catelyn Stark gets word that Jamie Lannister is amassing troops at Casterly Rock and that her brother Edmure is doing the same along the border between the Westerlands and the Riverlands. After lamenting over her sister's erratic behavior, she decides that it's time she gets back to Winterfell. On her way to the big duel between Bronn and Ser Vardis Egen, Cat runs into her uncle Brynden Tully. He's just quit as the Knight of the Gate, because Cat's sister Lysa has refused his request for 1,000 knights to take to Riverrun, to aid House Tully in the event of a Lannister attack. Cat offers him the swords, if he comes with her to Winterfell.
Cat then joins Lysa to watch the duel between, to determine Tyrion's fate. When the battle begins, it is obvious that the younger, faster Bronn plans to avoid Ser Vardis' sword attacks and allow the older man to tire himself, as he's laden with heavy plate armor. Tune in to find out who emerges as the victor.
