Beyond the Wall

From Asoiaf

Ser Waymar Royce, Gared and Will went out on a ranging riding north from the Wall for nine days on the track of a band of wildling raiders. Will scouted ahead and found their camp with all the wildlings apparently dead. Gared and Ser Waymar quarreled about what to do next, Gared wanting to return and Waymar wanting check out the wildlings more closely. Gared claimed the wildlings froze to death, but since the Wall had been weeping lately Waymar claimed this was not possible. Waymar ordered Will to show them the camp. Leaving Gared to guard the horses Will and Waymar walked the last stretch to find the camp empty. While Will was in a tree scouting the Others came. After a swordfight the Others slew Ser Waymar Royce and disappeared. Will had climbed down to survey the scene when Ser Waymar came back to life and strangled him.
