Springwars - Episode Eight Spring 7 - Winter 0 They think it's all over ... it is now. Spring has sprung, but in order to find it the playmobil army has marched North (where the weather is secretly often better than in the South). On reaching Winterfell, a lavish banquet is laid on for all and the seasonal celebrations begin. Everyone settles back for a few days of revelry: fine food and hearty ale. Winter is now just a faint memory, a disconcertingly odd dream. (Meanwhile, Mrs Goggins is especially pleased with a nice shiny gold ring that she picked up as they set off this morning - and popped in her handbag for safe-keeping. Shame to leave such a beautiful object behind ... but then that's another story...)

Springwars - Episode Seven Spring 11 - Winter 6 Always Winter but never Christmas? Sod Christmas, we'd just settle for Easter at this point. Today, the blazing sun is out and the snow is melting away. Ned Stark was rescued in the night by four kids and a lion, who climbed out of the wooden dragon under cover of darkness... But as the snow melts and Winter grows weaker, a curious object is uncovered. The fighters gather round, forgetting for a moment which side they are on, and stare open-mouthed. Something about this is intriguing, appealing - it's almost as if it has some kind of hold over them...

Springwars - Episode Six Spring 11 - Winter 11 The tables have turned - almost. The sun’s out, there’s even a bit of melting going on, but patches of deep snow and cruel ice remain. Those mysterious eggs have been buried under the snow to incubate so that they can tap in to Winter’s masterplan… and yoke its strength. But a generous gift to Winter in the form of a wooden dragon has arrived - and is parked conveniently next to where Stark is being held hostage. Waiting for nightfall, he is feverish: muttering something that sounds like ‘I have a brother?’, and sporadically shouting ‘To the trees!’

Springwars - Episode Five Spring 5 - Winter 13 This is not looking good.   It's typical. You put your sword down just for two minutes to wrestle a dragon and receive some important post, and the next thing you know, you're trapped in an ice sculpture. And this is the first time Spring's score has fallen. The snow has been coming down thick and fast; Ned Stark is dizzied by the mysterious liquid he's been made to drink - he's significantly smaller than he was when they first put him in the ice... Meanwhile, the dragon's younger sister has flown in - which is A Bad Thing (excepting the fact that some of the snow melts around the daffodil when she breathes). The worst thing though, is those eggs. Something tells me they haven't been delivered by the Easter Bunny...
