Summary

Forty-four survivors have reached Craster's Keep, of the 300 men the Watch had at the Fist. Some of the men are becoming ornery because there is so little food, and Craster seems to be hiding a larder. Mormont speaks with Sam about dragonglass, noting in disgust that the Watch once knew the purpose of obsidian weapons. Their true enemies are the Others, but they had forgotten.

Craster soon makes it clear he wants the crows gone, and several members start to accuse him of not sharing all his food. The argument worsens, until finally Craster attacks Clubfoot Karl, beginning the mutiny at Craster's Keep. Dirk slits Craster's throat, and when Mormont screams at them that there is no crime worse than murder at a host's dinner table, Ollo Lophand stabs the Lord Commander. Sam watches in horror as the deserters begin to rape Craster's wives, and sees the few men still loyal to the Watch flee because they are outnumbered. Grenn, Giant, Dolorous Edd, and a few others get away. Mormont, dying, commands Sam to return to the Wall with all haste and tell everyone what has happened. He also asks Sam to tell his son Jorah that Mormont's dying wish is for Jorah to take the black. His last words to Sam are, "Tell Jorah. Forgive him. My son. Please. Go." Sam is approached by Gilly, who has recently given birth to a son, and two of Craster's other, older, wives. Gilly asks Sam to take her with him, to flee on horseback someplace warm.

0:00.0	The I'm
0:31.3	Sir Jimmy of Housenuts welcome to our Song of Ice and Fire Book
0:33.7	Today we are into Samwell 2 of a Storm of Swords my favorite book of all time
0:38.7	Matt how are you doing man I'm doing good, you know, just another day, another challenge of life, right, as we're sitting here going over all the notes and everything we have for the pre-show and everything we try to squeeze in sometimes into the show I wish we had more time to
0:56.8	record honestly sometimes yeah if Jimmy and I if Jimmy and I could literally just do this full time and we could I mean I'm sure you and I could talk for like we could do like six hour episodes easy.
1:09.0	Oh definitely I I think we could probably do an NFL podcast at this point.
1:15.0	Right.
1:16.0	Yeah, I mean we definitely probably could do an NFL podcast or really anything else because, you know,
1:21.0	that's another thing.
1:22.0	You know, would you know, and I always chat a little bit and sometimes I have to record it because I'm like maybe there's sometimes we're talking and it's like you know I want to get that in there or oftentimes it what's unfortunate sometimes Jimmy and I will be recording and then we'll hit end the episode and then we start talking about the point and I was like, oh man, we should have put that in the episode.
1:40.0	Yeah, some of our best by theory crafting or interesting talk sometimes comes after we end because we think about things in retrospect and then dig into it a little more and that's always a lot of fun, but sometimes, you know, you just, you got to hit record, got to know when it's time.
1:55.0	Yeah.
1:57.0	So today, let's dive into today's chapter, which is say well too, and man man it's been a long time since we've been
2:04.4	with Sam and this I think is one of those things that's also done really well in the
2:09.5	show it's essentially going to be the revolt at Crasters Keep.
2:15.3	Yeah, a lot of really good action.
2:19.0	I mean, maybe not good considering the fact
2:21.0	that we see some people die. But it also has a ton of war about beyond the wall that I think is pretty excellent. I was kind of shocked by how much was back into this chapter last week when we looked ahead I was like
2:33.8	okay this is a pretty long Sam chapter and I realize oh we're at like the crass the crasters keep
2:40.4	rebellion essentially.
2:43.0	But this is the second time going to Craster's Keep
2:45.2	and it's not going to end as peacefully
