Absolutely we are.
Thanks for confirming. That's the impression I was under but couldn't remember why.
My face too. That was silly. Watching when the arrows were released it would have been rather easy to avoid being hit once you got a distance between you and the shooter. Arrows just don't have the velocity to negate a change in direction at distance. Silly shit.
Houses like the Manderly's, who are southern transplants to the North, follow the Faith of the Seven, and mostly exclusively. And, Manderly has knights.
So long as you understand that you've got it wrong.
Exactly. You could sleepwalk through that shit. Every 5 seconds take two steps to the left or right. Easy-peasy.
And if he did Ramsey's next step would've been to have all his archers shoot at Rickon.
Which would have made the entire thing more believable. Ramsey trying to be a badass, failing, getting frustrated, and having his archers take him out. Either or. It was an observation. Not one I care all that much about.
Really? Ever seen an arrow shot from a long bow? You do know that long bows can pierce a knight's armor at about a 100 yards, don't you? That requires a lot of velocity. Obviously not as fast as a bullet but still if arrows were so easy to evade no one would need a shield to protect themselves against them.
I don't know anything about piercing a knights armor. Cosplay isn't my thing to be honest. But I know a good bit about bows and their capabilities. A zig-zag pattern ran at the distances shown would have been very effective. Ramsey would have had to lead the target and that is assuming the target was following a pattern. At the very least it would be a very difficult shot instead of fish in a barrel.
It would have been helpful for Jon to see the loose, and tell Rickon to change his fly to a post route, seeing as he had the vision. Should have been easy enough.
Word homeslice.
No it wouldn't have. How would a boy who's never been in combat know how to evade arrows? Rickon did what any inexperienced boy would've done. Try to get out of range as fast as he could. if Ramsey let his archers lose too soon it might have tipped off to Jon and company his ultimate plan of setting a pincher trap.
Yes, it would have.
Helpful maybe, easy doubtful. How would Rickon have heard Jon over the sounds of Jon's horse's hooves??? And without training, know what to do if he could hear Jon.
