Tyrion's time at Castle Black has come to an end. But before he leaves Jeor Mormont has a big favor to ask of him. One that Tyrion says he'll do, but think it won't do much good. He also spends some time with Jon, forging a final bond between the pair. On top of examining that, the guys delve into some specifics of the Long Night, and Simon explains how a male bodily function is affected by modern technology.

Chapter Review:
As Tyrion prepares to leave Castle Black, he attends a goodbye feast, where he manages to offend Ser Alliser Thorne and receive a glowing compliment from Maester Aemon. Afterward, Lord Commander Mormont pleads with him to use his influence to muster more resources for the Night's Watch, namely more better trained men and less dregs of society. Mormont knows winter is coming and a terrible darkness is coming with it, and the Night's Watch isn't ready. Tyrion says he'll do what he can, knowing the rest of the realm will simply laugh at him when he does. Later, Tyrion runs into Jon atop the Wall, and Jon asks him to help Bran during his stop in Winterfell. Tyrion has no clue how, but he promises to try.
