A Storm of Swords – Scorpions

Oberon Martel tells the story of Dornish resistance and Lyonel Tyrell, who fell for the old hundreds of scorpions in the canopy trick.
I know most of the Tyrells we’ve come across thus far are kind of meatheads, but I can’t help wondering why Lord Lyonel didn’t notice how the canopy was probably squirming and wriggling a bit.
Ultimately, I’m afraid this picture was more of a struggle than I anticipated and I ended up fixing a whole lot of it in post.

So he pulled upon the sash, and when he did the canopy above him split open, and a hundred red scorpions fell down upon his head. His death lit a fire that soon swept across Dorne, undoing all the Young Dragon’s victories in a fortnight. The kneeling men stood up, and we were free again.”
