Arya’s working as a servant for the Lannisters in Harrenhal. Life is not quite as miserable as it was on the road. Amongst the Lannister troops she notices Jaqen H’ghar. He tells her that he owes the Red god three deaths, to atone for the ones that Arya spared. He just needs names. Arya provides one, and the guys turns up dead two days later. Simon and Mackelly consider the remaining two wishes.

Chapter Review:
Arya Stark, still disguised as Weasel, is working as a servant in Harrenhal. It’s woeful, but at least she has food and shelter so it beats the road. She is also able to stop the gender denial, which had to have been a burden. She’s about as visible as a mouse to the Lannister nobles and soldiers, so they speak pretty freely in front of her. From this she learns that Robb is at Riverrun, a lot closer than Winterfell.

She hatches a plan to reveal her true identity to one of the Northern hostages. She’s knows only one personally, Lord  Medger Cerwyn, but he succumbs to his wounds before she can enact the plan. The various raiding groups stop by: The Brave Companions (aka the Bloody Mummers) of Vargo Hoat are a terrifying bunch of oddballs. Ser Gregor Clegane’s men are evil monsters. And Armory Lorch’s men have three new recruits: Rorge, Biter, and Jaqen H’ghar.
 
Jaqen tells Arya that he owes three deaths to the red god, for the three that Arya saved when she threw him an axe in the fire. After hearing a particularly monstrous story from Chiswyck (a member of Clegane’s coterie) she offers him up. Two days later he’s found dead: fallen from the battlements. Some think it was the Ghosts of Harrenhal. Arya knows better.
