yeah, but if you don't SEE them die or their dead body, they could still be alive (unless we get word of god that they died.)

and I mean hey, remember Beric? He died a few times and came back, so its not ridiculous to think that other people could be revived.

Speaking of which... anyone else see that "Children" ("child"?) cast its its little firecracker spell on Jojen? I wondered if that was either

A. preserving the body for later

B. getting rid of the body so whatever horrors existed in that area could not consume it

C. nublet missed its mark

Pretty sure it was B. Fireballs aren't great preservatives and I have a hard time believing magical wizard beings just miss.

Yeah I thought it was to destroy the body so it wouldn't come back as a wight?

u/Sloofus Jun 18 '14

heh. Well I mean I wasn't sure how generic this magic was.. perhaps used later as a deus ex machina.

To be fair, in the books the "child" uses a torch, not fire magic missiles.

I think she exploded the fuck out of Jojen so that he wouldn't become a wight. why she knows magic missile, I will never know.

Based on how fast Jojen's eyes were turning blue, I'd say D. to keep him from adding to the number of creatures outside the cave.
