Close enough - it's actually Minisa. For bonus points, can you name her house?

Here's relatively easy one: What weapons do Sand Snakes (daughters of Oberyn Martell) use? The answer to this question must include Sarela..

Re: aSoIaF Trivia Game

I went to The Tower of the Hand and to The Citadel (merely to double check my answers, of course) and there is no information regarding the chosen weapons of the Sand Snakes.

So, I'll have to do this the hard way... from memory... and even harder... by logic.

Oberyn tossed a weapon to Obara, bidding her to chose between her mother and her father, between weaknes and strength, between whoring and warring, between being a giver and a taker... I think the weapon was a spear. I seem to picture it in my mind as Areo Hotah confronts Obara at the Water Gardens.

Nymeria rode up to Doran as he traveled to Sunspear. I don't remember her that well, so I'll leave her for later.

Tyene so frightened Doran's Maester that he checked Doran immediately for poisoning when Tyene left.

I don't think anything was mentioned regarding Sarella's fighting abilities... unless, that is... if you believe that she is Alleras. If this is so, then Sarella's weapons are the bow and arrow.

Back to Nymeria... She's named after the warrior-queen of the Rhoyne. Obara is a warrior, Tyene is an assassin, and Sarella is the riddle... Archer. So if the Bow, the Spear, and Poison are taken, then I believe it's fairly safe to assume that Nymeria's weapon of choice is either a sword, a dagger, or a trebuchet. Since she cannot easily carry a trebuchet... and since a dagger is just not that impressive... and since Nymeria seems to be a strategist... I'll say Nymeria's weapon is a sword.

Obara=Spear, Nym=Sword, Tyene=Poison, and Sarella=Bow.

Close enough. Nym is actually using knives (probably poisoned). But you missed one. Answer which weapon is using Oberyn's daughter with Ellarya Sand and it will be your turn. Hint: It is near the end of AFFC and she is using the weapon against oranges.
