Btw, little noticed thing about Oberyn and Tywin (don't read spoiler unless you've read book 3)
SPOILER: (
Oberyn poisoned Tywin and he was going to die whether Tyrion shot him or not
"Where will I find my lord father?”
“In the solar with Lord Tyrell and Prince Oberyn.”
“Widow’s blood, this one is called, for the color. A cruel potion. It shuts down a man’s bladder and bowels, until he drowns in his own poisons.”
“Your father,” said Prince Oberyn, “may not live forever.”
The King’s Hand was rotting visibly. His face had taken on a greenish tinge, and his eyes were deeply sunken, two black pits. Fissures had opened in his cheeks, and a foul white fluid was seeping through the joints of his splendid gold-and-crimson armor to pool beneath his body.
...and of course the smell. )
