Tyrion surveys the wildfire destruction on the Blackwater Rush. King Joffrey gleefully prepares to fire a new type of projectile from the trebuchets. And the Hound refuses to return to the fighting outside the walls. In the end, Tyrion leads the sortie to defend the King's Gate himself. Simon and Mackelly tremulously reach for their helmets.

Chapter Review
Tyrion Lannister watches from the city walls, as chaos and fire reign on the river below. The wildfire did what he'd hoped it would do, almost. The vast majority of Stannis' fleet has been destroyed, but there's still enough ships left to get him and his men across the river. In fact, some men have already reached the north shore. He plans to turn the three huge trebuchets west and continue raining boulders on the remaining ships. However, King Joffrey has a different plan. He wants to launch the traitors known as the Antler Men instead.

After the king leaves to play with his new toys, word reaches Tyrion that there are enemies at the King's Gate with a battering ram. When Tyrion arrives at the gate, he finds the Hound unwilling to lead the men back out to defend it. Tyrion tries to command him to do so, but to no affect. With no other choice, he saddles up to lead the men himself. At first, few follow. He's reminds them that they say he's half a man, so what does that make them? That gets a reaction, and more men join his cause. With that, he turns and rides for the sally port.
