SPOILERS - ten more questions for A SONG OF ICE & FIRE fans

[Dr Midnight]

With the somewhat success of the other thread, I thought I'd come up with more questions for all you chumps.

As ever, this is speculation for fun, because we're geeks and we like saying "oh wouldn't it be cool if..." or "I think this will happen..."

Please assume that there be spoilers below, arrr, for every bit of ICE & FIRE currently available.

1. (recent DRAGON chapter) Crow's Eye claims his dragon horn will bend Danaerys' dragons to his will. Your thoughts on what might happen?

2. (paperback ASOS preview chapter) The maester says Gregor is NOT recovering and really is dying from the viper's poison, slowly and very painfully. Your thoughts on what might happen?

3. Where is Tyrion going?

4. Many characters have earned the hate of readers. Pick one character that you think deserves a comeuppance, and describe what you think would be appropriate for them within the story (I.E. Viserys' golden crown death).

5. Pick one character for each of the D&D alignments.

6. Is Danaerys Azor Ahai reborn?

7. Sansa and Littlefinger- what kind of end do you think this arc is going to come to?

8. Did Syrio Forel (spelling? It's been awhile) make it out alive?

9. Which POV (point of view) character do you think will die next and why?

10. Is Theon Greyjoy dead?

 

[Dr Midnight]

1. Well, what I'd expect from your typical epic fantasy story would be a brief victory by Crow's Eye when he takes the dragons under his control, Dany escapes... Then, soon, she somehow appeals to her "babies" through sentiment or magic, and they return. Also, the "a dragon is no slave" thing could come back into play.

2. I think the Mountain will die... and eventually, maybe not in this book, he'll return... as undead. People are being rezzed here. What would be more fearsome than Gregor Clegane the death knight, eight feet tall, skin all black. Scary.

3. Uh... north? No idea, really.

4. Tyrion somehow reclaims King's Landing and casts Cersei out into the masses, where she is torn apart by the starving crowd.

5. Lawful Good- Jon. Or, at least, he tries.
Lawful Neutral- King Stannis, Littlefinger
Lawful Evil- The Spider (?)
Neutral- George Martin himself. GET WRITING!
Chaotic Good- Dany
Chaotic Neutral- Rickon
Chaotic Evil- Gregor

6. Oh yes.

7. Skip. Bleh.

8. I like to think so.

9. Davos. He seems to be trying to swab the decks of a sinking ship.

10. Yes.

 

[Endur]

1. (recent DRAGON chapter) Crow's Eye claims his dragon horn will bend Danaerys' dragons to his will. Your thoughts on what might happen?

The Dragons will be brought into Westeros before Danaerys is ready. Although they might be temporarily controlled by the horn, someone will eventually free them (Jon? Tyrion?).


2. (paperback ASOS preview chapter) The maester says Gregor is NOT recovering and really is dying from the viper's poison, slowly and very painfully. Your thoughts on what might happen?

Gregor will slowly die, but eventually someone will save him. Either that or someone will sneak in and finish him off, but neither way will he die from the poison.

3. Where is Tyrion going?

To visit Dragons.

4. Many characters have earned the hate of readers. Pick one character that you think deserves a comeuppance, and describe what you think would be appropriate for them within the story (I.E. Viserys' golden crown death).

Queen Cersei deserves to be punished. Not sure what is appropriate, although even the Others are probably too nice for her.

5. Pick one character for each of the D&D alignments.

HA!

6. Is Danaerys Azor Ahai reborn?

Nope! But getting warm!

7. Sansa and Littlefinger- what kind of end do you think this arc is going to come to?

A bad one! And not soon enough (this arc may go the length of the series and be resolved in the final battle).

8. Did Syrio Forel (spelling? It's been awhile) make it out alive?

Nope!

9. Which POV (point of view) character do you think will die next and why?

I expect a Greyjoy to be the next to die.

10. Is Theon Greyjoy dead?

Nope! But he sure is an unhappy place! Red fort, Flayed alive, sounds like a perfectly awful place to be.

 

[Dagger75]

1. (recent DRAGON chapter) Crow's Eye claims his dragon horn will bend Danaerys' dragons to his will. Your thoughts on what might happen?

I think one of the dragons will turn and fight against Dany and her army.

2. (paperback ASOS preview chapter) The maester says Gregor is NOT recovering and really is dying from the viper's poison, slowly and very painfully. Your thoughts on what might happen?

Never put much thought into this, I think he will live and be very very mad.

3. Where is Tyrion going?

To Winterfell, then north only to meet up with Bran and his group. Then when they enter the lands beyond the wall everybody gets seperated and Tyrion meets up with Jon.

4. Many characters have earned the hate of readers. Pick one character that you think deserves a comeuppance, and describe what you think would be appropriate for them within the story (I.E. Viserys' golden crown death).

Rickon, only because I don't know. Every one has had bad things happen to them.

5. Pick one character for each of the D&D alignments.
Don't do these things

6. Is Danaerys Azor Ahai reborn?
If this is who Stannis thinks he is, then I don't think she is.

7. Sansa and Littlefinger- what kind of end do you think this arc is going to come to?
Sansa will kill Littlefinger and will gather an army to fight back what was taken from her. The people will unite around her. she is about to bring peace to twestros. Arya will then kill her.

8. Did Syrio Forel (spelling? It's been awhile) make it out alive?
Yup, I think he will be part of the Brotherhood.

9. Which POV (point of view) character do you think will die next and why?

Davos. He has ticked off the Red god to much. He will be eliminated by Stannis

10. Is Theon Greyjoy dead?
We can only hope so.

Those are my endless speculation

 

[Alaric_Prympax]

Since it's late I'll answer only a couple of these:

3. Tyrion's headed toward the Free cities, he will evently join Dany and will design the saddles so the dragons can be ridden. He will ride Viserion. There was just too much foreshadowing with Tyrion designing Bran's saddle to ride Dancer.

6. Yes, so far she is the only one who has "awaken dragons from stone".

10. No, I think he's in the Dreadfort wishing he was dead because most of his skin is on the wall next to all the other people the Boltons have frayed over the centuries.

I'll try to answer the other questions when I have more time.

As ever, this is speculation for fun, because we're geeks and we like saying "oh wouldn't it be cool if..." or "I think this will happen..."

Please assume that there be spoilers below, arrr, for every bit of ICE & FIRE currently available.

1. (recent DRAGON chapter) Crow's Eye claims his dragon horn will bend Danaerys' dragons to his will. Your thoughts on what might happen?

Crow's Eye ends up dead, killed by the Dragons he seeks to control.

2. (paperback ASOS preview chapter) The maester says Gregor is NOT recovering and really is dying from the viper's poison, slowly and very painfully. Your thoughts on what might happen?

He can't die yet because Sandor didn't kill him.

3. Where is Tyrion going?

Not sure where he's going but I'm pretty sure he will end up with Dany and the Dragons.

4. Many characters have earned the hate of readers. Pick one character that you think deserves a comeuppance, and describe what you think would be appropriate for them within the story (I.E. Viserys' golden crown death).

To save his own soul Jamie will kill his sister Cersei, Brienne will probably be involved, but I figure that will be the final turning point for Jamie. Not to say he will become a good character, he will probably become a dead character too.

5. Pick one character for each of the D&D alignments.

That's too hard. Can we just say that half the cast is probably chaotic neutral or chaotic evil and the rest are Lawful neutral or evil, very few of the characters are actually good (Jon Snow being the one that stands out).

6. Is Danaerys Azor Ahai reborn?

Maybe.

7. Sansa and Littlefinger- what kind of end do you think this arc is going to come to?

A bad end, I figure she will end up back with Tyrion by the end of the series (or most likely dead, like her wolf). Littlefinger will end up dead before it's said and done for sure.

8. Did Syrio Forel (spelling? It's been awhile) make it out alive?

Yes, look for him to show up in the future.

9. Which POV (point of view) character do you think will die next and why?

That's a tough one, I'll buck the crowd and say Davos will live out the series. Jamie or Sansa both could die but I figure no one of the POV characters will die in the next book.

10. Is Theon Greyjoy dead?

Dreadfort having a bad day, I figure he still has a role to play in what's to come, he just might be a little thinner and tender to the touch.

 

[Spatula]

1. (recent DRAGON chapter) Crow's Eye claims his dragon horn will bend Danaerys' dragons to his will. Your thoughts on what might happen?

I think it would be damn funny if the horn didn't work at all, but that would make Euron out to be a fool and not the dangerous bastard GRRM seems to be aiming for. So I'm guessing the horn will allow him to control the dragons, but that Euron will lose the horn, and the dragons, somehow. Possibly through his brother the priest (Aeron?).

2. (paperback ASOS preview chapter) The maester says Gregor is NOT recovering and really is dying from the viper's poison, slowly and very painfully. Your thoughts on what might happen?

I would think Gregor needs to be alive so that Sandor can eventually kill him. But maybe that's too obvious. I don't see him getting ressurected by Thoros, and there's no other priests of light running around below the Neck.

3. Where is Tyrion going?

This has already been answered by GRRM in his chapter readings at conventions: http://pub26.ezboard.com/fasoiaffrm2 for those that want a sneak peek at Feast for Crows.

4. Many characters have earned the hate of readers. Pick one character that you think deserves a comeuppance, and describe what you think would be appropriate for them within the story (I.E. Viserys' golden crown death).

So many possibilities... I can't think of any clever poetic-justice type deaths at the moment, though. Maybe Gregor getting set on fire and burning to death.

6. Is Danaerys Azor Ahai reborn?

Either her or Jon. Stannis definitately isn't it.

7. Sansa and Littlefinger- what kind of end do you think this arc is going to come to?

A bad one.

8. Did Syrio Forel (spelling? It's been awhile) make it out alive?

No, he's not important enough a character for his return to mean anything. Besides, he wasn't going to run away and the Kingsguard he was last seen fighting survived, so what other possibility is there?

9. Which POV (point of view) character do you think will die next and why?

Hmmm... I think Brienne is going to be a POV character in Feast for Crows, and I can definitely see her getting killed by her rigid sense of honor, much like Ned Stark. If Brienne isn't a POV, then Theon for obvious reasons. We're getting to the point where it seems like almost none of the POV characters are expendable. I think I can safely say that Jon & Danaerys are going to make it to the end. Bran, Arya, Sansa, Tyrion, and Jamie seem to have a lot of story ahead of them and probably won't be offed. That leaves Davos, Theon, Samwell, Cersei, and whoever the other new POV is (am I forgetting anyone else?). Theon and Davos will probably bite it at some point, Cersei too although I can see her making it out of this mess alive despite her stupidity. Samwell will probably survive.

10. Is Theon Greyjoy dead?

I initially thought so when I read the books. Now after going back and re-reading I think he's probably still alive, and will be our window into what's going on in the north, below the wall.

I love these threads.


1. (recent DRAGON chapter) Crow's Eye claims his dragon horn will bend Danaerys' dragons to his will. Your thoughts on what might happen?


I can't see anyone taking lasting control of Dany's dragons. She is the scion of Targaryen, after all!


2. (paperback ASOS preview chapter) The maester says Gregor is NOT recovering and really is dying from the viper's poison, slowly and very painfully. Your thoughts on what might happen?


I hope he doesn't die. Not only do I want the Hound to have the honor of ending Gregor, but if Gregor dies at hands of the Viper, the Dornishmen may feel that they have received justice and grow more friendly with the Lannisters.


3. Where is Tyrion going?


As previously mentioned, we already know from readings where he's going.


4. Many characters have earned the hate of readers. Pick one character that you think deserves a comeuppance, and describe what you think would be appropriate for them within the story (I.E. Viserys' golden crown death).


I'd have to go with Cersei being murdered by Jaime. It could happen. Maybe.


5. Pick one character for each of the D&D alignments.


LG - Jon
NG - Tyrion
CG - Beric Dondarrion
LN - Stannis
N - Maester Aemon
CN - The Greatjon of Umber
LE - Littlefinger
NE - Roose Bolton
CE - Gregor Clegane


6. Is Danaerys Azor Ahai reborn?


Hard to say. I think that Jon is the Prince that was Promised, but that may not be the same thing as Azor Ahai. We don't know that much about AA. do we?


7. Sansa and Littlefinger- what kind of end do you think this arc is going to come to?


I'd like to see Sansa birng out the good in Littlefinger, and see Petyr help fight the good fight. Probably won't happen. I'm curious to see where Mr. Martin is going with this one.


8. Did Syrio Forel (spelling? It's been awhile) make it out alive?


It would be a fantasy cliche if he did. I'm hoping no, but who knows?


9. Which POV (point of view) character do you think will die next and why?


I must agree that Davos has tragedy written all over him.


10. Is Theon Greyjoy dead?


I haven't read Arms of the Kraken, so I can't really comment. I hope that jerk is dead, though.

Re: Re: SPOILERS - ten more questions for A SONG OF ICE & FIRE fans


1. (recent DRAGON chapter) Crow's Eye claims his dragon horn will bend Danaerys' dragons to his will. Your thoughts on what might happen?


I see Euron's plan backfiring somehow


2. (paperback ASOS preview chapter) The maester says Gregor is NOT recovering and really is dying from the viper's poison, slowly and very painfully. Your thoughts on what might happen?


I doubt that he'll die. Gregor will remain a witless plague on Westeros until the very end.


3. Where is Tyrion going?


To Dany.


4. Many characters have earned the hate of readers. Pick one character that you think deserves a comeuppance, and describe what you think would be appropriate for them within the story (I.E. Viserys' golden crown death).


I want to see Joffrey killed a couple more times. Once was too good for him.
However, it'd be great if Cersei somewhow ended up living in a cheap brothel for the rest of her life


6. Is Danaerys Azor Ahai reborn?


Probably, but I'm wondering what is up with Berric Dondarion.


7. Sansa and Littlefinger- what kind of end do you think this arc is going to come to?


Sansa ends up outsmarting Littlefinger. Hey, it could happen.


8. Did Syrio Forel (spelling? It's been awhile) make it out alive?


Dead as a doornail.


9. Which POV (point of view) character do you think will die next and why?


I don't see the Late Lord Frey surviving much longer, he's pissed off way too many people.


10. Is Theon Greyjoy dead?


I doubt it. He's most likely wishing he was dead right now.

 

[Tiefling]

1. (recent DRAGON chapter) Crow's Eye claims his dragon horn will bend Danaerys' dragons to his will. Your thoughts on what might happen?

Dunno, haven't read the chapter in Dragon.

2. (paperback ASOS preview chapter) The maester says Gregor is NOT recovering and really is dying from the viper's poison, slowly and very painfully. Your thoughts on what might happen?

He won't die. It would be too easy. Perhaps he will die, and then will be brought back to life like Beric or Cat. If he survives, the poison will leave some really nasty side affects.

3. Where is Tyrion going?

Pentos.

4. Many characters have earned the hate of readers. Pick one character that you think deserves a comeuppance, and describe what you think would be appropriate for them within the story (I.E. Viserys' golden crown death).

Unfortunately GRRM removed Lysa as a candidate. Barring that, I'd like to see Cersei slain by Arya.

5. Pick one character for each of the D&D alignments.

No.

6. Is Danaerys Azor Ahai reborn?

Probably.

7. Sansa and Littlefinger- what kind of end do you think this arc is going to come to?

Sansa will learn how to play the game of thrones from Baelish. She will become a more intelligent, ruthless and interesting version of Cersei with very different motivations. She will learn of Baelish's role in her father's death and plot revenge, but he will turn out to be the more resourceful player and will somehow remove her as a threat, possibly killing her.

8. Did Syrio Forel (spelling? It's been awhile) make it out alive?

No.

9. Which POV (point of view) character do you think will die next and why?

Gods, I've no idea. Davos, I suppose, seeing as he has the fewest questions and quests to resolve.

10. Is Theon Greyjoy dead?

I suspect that he's either alive or undead.
