Drayco's Edgy Edges of Edginess
 * Close Range- Gimli. The hand-axe has much greater swinging range, does more damage and can be thrown in a pinch. The dirk won't do as much damage at as many ranges.
 * Mid-Range- Gimli. The Walking Axe is a bit faster and longer, so it narrowly gets my vote over the slower War axe.
 * Long Range- Tyrion. The Crossbow has much longer range, is deadly accurate and can be fired faster than the simple throwing axe.
 * Special Weapon- Gimli. The Erebor Axe will not only crush Lannister's armor, it will also cleave through most of his other defenses, including the shortsword.
 * Deadliest Warrior- Gimli takes this rather easily. He's in better health, with better skills and experience and better weapons.
