Chapter Review:
Tyrion and crew have traveled a couple of hundred miles up the Kingsroad to face Robb Stark\\u2019s army. The two forces are set to meet the next day. Tyrion tries dining with his father, but Tywin\\u2019s willingness to see his youngest son go into battle in the vanguard without so much as command robs him of his appetite. He gets back to his own tent to discover he\\u2019s missed dinner there too.
Bronn has acquired the services of a prostitute for Tyrion\\u2019s last evening on earth. Shae is a sassy young thing, and Tyrion is instantly charmed. He promises her gold, but demands exclusivity. Their night together ends abruptly when the alarm sounds that the northern army has marched through the night. Tyrion\\u2019s new squire, Podrick Payne, is asleep on the job and Tyrion almost misses the action.
Tyrion and his mountain clans acquit themselves well and the Lannister forces are victorious. However, although the victory has delivered multiple high-value assets to Tywin and company, it turns out that a trick has been pulled and Robb Stark has crossed the Green Fork at the Twins and is presumably headed to Riverrun to harry Jaime.\\xa0
