firstly i think gregor has someone else's head or no head at all.
secondly i think that sarella/alleras will play a part of robert strong's undoing! she has the freedom, the knowledge (she is at the citadel) and possibly the will, oberyn was her father after all. which could be the person in the golden armour like the sun! she disables the undead thing allowing sandor to seemingly destroy the body. crackpot i know.

Really nothing is crackpot in this story, my one question tho is why Sarella and not one of the sandsnakes Doran has sent to Kingslanding?

why sarella? well she has been at the citadel training under the mastiff, i would like to think she has learnt enough to be able to thwart what qyburn is doing.

Hmmm, i suppose, maybe I am bias in my own opinions. But  I see Sarella being exposed by sam with Jaqen, and that line of story not going back to kingslanding.

I was thinking Thoros could "revive" unSandor to fight the unbrother UnGregor but I also see the major issues of one faith's "champion" representing another faith.

Sandor never died.  He is a monk who spends his days digging graves.

I think Loras is a strong suspect for the golden figure.  I imagine the Tyrells have just about had enough out of Cersei at this point, and they're likely to miscalculate and assume Loras can beat just about anyone, not quite realizing what's in that armor defending Cersei.

Cersei's champion is from the KG.  Loras is gravely wounded from 3rd degree burns.  He couldn't fight even if he wanted to do to his condition.  The KG won't fight a KG member in a trial by combat.  The champion would be from the faith.  Robert Strong is going to win in the end because Cersei is going to die by her volanqar... a la Jaime.

The reports of Loras injuries may be gravely exagerated Ms Moneypenny.

Since buckets of boiling oil poured over someone who is wearing armor that would create a container for the liquid to stick to the body would never gravely injure anyone....

Here is the the quote from the book, of Brans vision:

He saw Sansa crying herself to sleep at night, and he saw Arya watching in silence and holding her secrets hard in her heart. There were shadows all around them. One shadow was as dark as ash, with the terrible face of a hound. Another was armored like the sun, golden and beautiful. Over them both loomed a giant in armor made of stone, but when he opened his visor, there was nothing inside but darkness and thick black blood.


Maybe I am being way too litteral here, but I connect the vision to Sansa and Arya because in the vision, the shadows are being described as being all around them. We know for a fact that the Hound have a connection to both Sansa and Arya, so I therefor presume that the two other shadows probably have a connection to the girls all well.
Being very litteral again, Jaime Lannister are being described as beautiful at countless occations, with the golden hair and armor. The sun could also be another way to the describe his golden and fair complexions. The gold is also a color that is connected to the Lannisters.
Jaime is also the one that I see have a connection with the girls, not Oberyn Martell.

I have presumed that the shadows in the vision have a connection to Sansa and Arya, or else why the reason for seeing the other shadow all around them?
It is understandable that it would be Oberyn Martell, if the the two other shadows would not have any connection to Sansa and Arya, because of their final battle. But I don`t get it why they are seen in a vision as shadows that are all around the Stark girls.

I am being litteral again when I think that the Mountain looms over everybody else as both inclined to his massive size and perhaps as being a threat. He is a big and mean killing machine, well known for his hatred and cruelties.

Have you ever considered that maybe the giant wearing armor made of stone is the Titan of Braavos? He (or Braavos, which he may symbolize) seems to be figuring heavily in Arya's story, at least.

I am not saying that people who have that happen wouldnt be gravely injured....mearly that that fact hasn't been backed up by any physical evidence...only hearsay.

Yes, heresay of his own sister and Loras's men.  He is gravely injured.  Even the ASOIAF app says so.

The ASOIAF appendix has sometimes been known to lie. I believe that Loras is still uninjured myself, but I've already gone into that on the other Robert Strong thread here.

You think Margery is above a little play acting? She did it with Renly all the time :)

Apart from that, Margaery's reaction is irrelevant as proof regarding if he's gravely injured or not. All we have to go on is the unconfirmed word of one messenger who might be playing along with a ruse, believing (rightly) that The Lion Queen may be shorn.

My thoughts exactly....but i still think Margery proves herself in court...not in the combat circle
