Brienne decides to follow the only lead she has: the Stark girl was traveling with the Hound. She gains a couple of new companions. Mackelly and Simon join her peregrination.

Chapter Review:
Brienne of Tarth heads back to Maidenpool, no nearer finding Sansa. Ser Hyle Hunt brings the heads of Shagwell, Timeon, and Pyg with them for Lord Tarly to display on the walls of Maidenpool. He also brings back a swarm of flies.
The reception in Maidenpool is no warmer than it was last time. Tarly is impressed, but unmoved, by news that Brienne dispatched the Bloody Mummers single-handedly. He reiterates his demand for her to give up her cos-play. She refuses. She’s determined to follow the only lead she has - the Stark girl was seen traveling with Sandor Clegane. Tarly gives her leave to hunt the Hound, he’s pillaging the environs and the frustrated lord would love to see him defeated.
Ser Hyle leaves Tarly’s service to travel with Brienne. She’s not happy about that. He brings along a Septon Meribald who continually travels a circuit through the Riverlands, spreading the word of the Faith of the Seven, and some hard-to-get food and supplies. He talks of the plight of the young men dragged into wars and how their fall into outlawry should be considered in the light of what has happened to them. Brienne understands that he’s describing his own sad backstory.
