Background on Raff from wiki
Background on Raff from wiki
quote:
A Clash of Kings
Raff the Sweetling is one of Ser Gregor Clegane's men at arms and is part of the group that captures Arya Stark, Gendry and Hot Pie in the Riverlands. He slays Lommy Greenhands with a spear to the throat, after Lommy told him he couldn't walk.[3]
On the march to Harrenhal, he smashes the face of a three-year-old boy with a spiked mace and kills his screaming mother shortly afterwards. Chiswyck later recalls Raff killed the son of the alehouse owner when he tells the story about the gang rape at the alehouse.[4] For these actions, Arya adds him to her prayer kill list.[1]
Raff later departs Harrenhal alongside Tywin Lannister as part of Gregor Clegane's vanguard, unknowingly putting himself out of Arya's reach to choose him as her next target for Jaqen H'ghar.[5]
He participates in the Battle of the Fords under Ser Gregor Clegane's command, managing to cross the trident as one of his best men. He survives the battle at Stone Mill and successfully retreats when Ser Edmure Tully counter-attacks with his reserve.[6]
Storm of Swords
Raff's atrocities are recalled by Arya, who informs Harwin and the Brotherhood Without Banners of his actions when his group captured her and Gendry near the God's Eye.[7]
Raff continues to be religiously included in Arya's death prayer list, though as time goes on she struggles to remember his face as well as the other marked members of Ser Gregor's men-at-arms.[8]
A Feast for Crows
When Ser Jaime Lannister pauses at Harrenhal, he encounters the remnants of Ser Gregor's men there, and notes Raff is the boldest of the group. After Ser Bonifer Hasty refuses to allow them to stay, Jaime brings them with him to Riverrun as part of his force to besiege the castle. After the fall of Riverrun, Rafford is told to escort Ser Robin Ryger and Ser Desmond Grell to Maidenpool for their journey to the Wall and make sure they made it alive. [9]

Admittedly, I had trouble recalling Raff at first. Thanks for posting that.

I refreshed my memory last night reading the wiki entry .
Didn't Raff kill Lommy in S2 too? So great. How many names are still alive on her book list? Ser Ilyn and Cersei?

Lommy would have made a great king imo. With hot pie as his hand they would have brought peace and prosperity to the realm for 50 years.

I refuse to indulge the fat POSand read single chapters. I shite on single chapters. I will wait for entire book.
Hopefully it leaks on torrents a few weeks early in 2016.

I just want him to come out with this so he can then release the full book on the Dance of Dragons, forget what it's called.
Also, that chapter was great

Ser Meryn of the Kingsguard is on the list.
Raff was with another one of the Mountain's men who was on the list. When they were escorting the men to Maidenpool/Wall

Amazing how one Arya chapter can remind you how freaking awesome this story is. I'm knee deep in Wheel of Time, Book 7 of 14, and this one chapter just blew everything I've been reading out of the water. And Wheel of Time is really good stuff. Lost my shite at "you'll have to carry me".

Does anyone have PDFs of all the Winds chapters release thus far?

Definitely. Best sample chapter yet.

It's obviously timed to give some publicity to SOIAF and Game of Thrones right before the new GoT season starts up
But I don't care - I loved it. Great chapter. The Ary stuff has always been some of the best stuff in the books.

I was able to ignore the sample chapters for Words of Radiance and most of tWoW, but I can't pass up an Arya chapter. Damn it was good.

That sample Chapter was great... Best Arya chapter in a long time.
It would seem the two guards talk of searching/ finding The Imp would give interest to Arya... but I didn't get that feeling at all. Surely she knows they were speaking of Tyrion and would be curious why they think he's in Braavos.

Great read. Let's hope that his site crashing through so much volume will get it through his head how much this next book is in demand.
Posted on 3/27/14 at 4:36 pm to TaxmanMSU
How much of TWoW does everyone think he's completed so far??
