The Magnar notices Jon cutting a swathe through his tribesmen and [[FoeTossingCharge throws down the gauntlet]]. Jon answers readily, matching the much larger man blow for blow. Ygritte scavenges more arrows and witnesses their skirmish. Styr manages to disarm the young steward of Longclaw and chases Snow across the yard, looping his axe around crazily to cleave the bastard up but Jon retreats in time and arms himself with a length of chain from the weapons rack. Soon, Styr is relieved of his weapon as well, but the Thenn Chieftain pummels Jon, smacks his head into an anvil and throws him into the smithy, Jon flies across the furnace of red-hot coals, stunned, but Styr makes the mistake of trying to throttle Jon instead of shank him. Snow [[CombatPragmatist spits blood into his face]], brings the Thenn to his knees by kicking out his right patella joint and [[DropTheHammer buries a smith's mallet]] in the cannibal's cranium with a roar of victory.

* BottleEpisode: The episode is set entirely on the Wall. Unlike most episodes, this isn't done to save budget, but rather to fit in a great deal of action and plot into one episode, much like 'Blackwater' from season 2.

Added DiffLines:

* PendulumOfDeath: The Night's Watch's Scythe is functionally a giant bladed pendulum with a chain that grazes the Wall in case intruders attempt to climb it, cutting or crushing everything in its path. It is used on hapless climbing Wildlings in the episode.

If they got the position because of their strength, it's this trope instead.
