The Tullys give chase all the way from Riverrun. Fortunately, Brienne reminds us just how awesome she is.
Cool as this scene is I don’t think that the Tully Gally would be able to get close enough to the bluff for this to work. Also, I wasn’t completely sure what Mr. Martin meant by galley in this scene. Based on the description I imagined it was something like a Venetiangalea sottile.
The range was less than twenty yards. The archers could scarcely have missed, but as they pulled on their longbows a rain of pebbles cascaded down around them. Small stones rattled on their deck, bounced off their helms, and made splashes on both sides of the bow. Those who had wits enough to understand raised their eyes just as a boulder the size of a cow detached itself from the top of the bluff. Ser Robin shouted in dismay. The stone tumbled through the air, struck the face of the cliff, cracked in two, and smashed down on them. The larger piece snapped the mast, tore through the sail, sent two of the archers flying into the river, and crushed the leg of a rower as he bent over his oar. The rapidity with which the galley began to fill with water suggested that the smaller fragment had punched right through her hull. The oarsman’s screams echoed off the bluff while the archers flailed wildly in the current. From the way they were splashing, neither man could swim. Jaime laughed. Jaimie 1 pg 31
