That's what I assumed, too. An utter disaster for him.

I forgot about the gold. I wonder if Martin had that on his mind when writing that one scene from Game of Thrones. 🤔

I think in that book is where I also learned that the term "parting shot" comes from "Parthian shot," where the archers pretend to retreat on their horses and shoot arrows backwards or something.
