It might not even require either. In canon Nettles tamed Sheepstealer by simply offering it a sheep every day until it trusted her enough to let her ride it. However this required a good amount of common sense and we all know that that is in short supply in Westeros.

I would not really call trying to tame a wild dragon with guesswork and sheep common sense and neither would Nettles looking back.

Nettles was also a dragonseed

We're actually not 100% sure of that. We have no idea who her father was and her mother was a dockside whore one Driftmark and her appearance is rather non Valyrian and rather ambiguous. In addition the Blacks let just about anybody try to tame a dragon, even Mushroom if his account is to be believed.

Well, you can pretty easily tell that she's a dragonseed seeing as she managed to tame a dragon. That's kind of a big hint.

Okay, but, and to be fair, pretty much everyone on Driftmark, Claw Isle and Dragonstone who is native for more than a couple generations has a little bit of dragonblood in them, at least.

Obviously more dragonblood matters the most, but then her father could have been another dragonseed, maybe even one with more recent Targaryen lineage.
 
You know we could ask Oberyn and Sandor to duel for the honor of us manufacturing a opportunity for them to duel The Mountain somewhere where no one will know what happened. Later we could just create a bodydouble of The Mountain and arrange an unfortunate accident where he falls down some stairs.
 
The plot thickens...

I don't think anyone in Westeros would mind if we got a lame nightsoil collector from Fleabottom to publicly flog Gregor Clegane to death. No one loves the man. He'd be Public Enemy #1 if they weren't so scared of Tywin.

It's the most sensible of decisions. The dragon stole sheep. So why not just bring the sheep to the dragon? :V

Lazy gits.

"He, that girl we heard about? She lives alone with her herding help up there. Easy pickings."
"Easy pickings? What would she own? And what 'herding help'?"
"Some animal. Dog or whatever. And she sells sheep and wool and doesn't have much use for money. So ..."
 
I'm actually partial to the idea of letting Ellia finish off Gregor and Amory. She is a Martell, after all, and revenge is in her blood.

Maybe we can let Oberyn and Sandor spectate?

EDIT: Fucking autocorrect.

I don't think Elia want to, she want him dead sure, but she don't seem to have a need to do it personally, she resembles Doran more than Oberyn, and so like Doran, she will be fully satisfied, letting the hotheads do the dirty work.
 
Can we put a bounty of Tywin, Robert, Cersei, the Mountain and his crew. It doesn't have to be much, it's just that we probably have bounties on us from them, so we should replicate it so they don't feel left out.

I can imagine it now:

Tywin Lannister
Wanted Alive
Reward: 2,000,000 IM

Gregor 'The Mountain' Clegane
Wanted Alive
Reward: 1,000,0000 IM

Robert and Cersei Baratheon
Wanted Dead or Alive
Reward: 5 IM Each

For a long moment there is silence, then it seems Clegane replies with you suspect intentionally shocking honesty: "I was looking for my brother in a place no one would give a shit if I killed him." He carefully searches each of your faces in turn, looking for something, though you could not say precisely what. Perhaps even he does not know.

[X] Plan The Shits We Would Give
-[X] "I would very much give a shit if the Mountain died. If you brought me his severed head, I would weigh it up in gold for you, but if you publicly murdered him with half the world watching in the middle of my realm, I would have little choice but to hang you for murder. It would sour the moment quite a bit to repay a good deed in that fashion." // I greatly approve of the notion, but please no public murders.
-[X] "Then again, your brother would have likely suffered a very unfortunate accident long before he took a step into the arena. Or got himself an appointment with the hangman within a day all on his own." // I consider it slightly insulting that he thinks Gregor would have a better life expectancy then a mayfly in the heart of our power.
--[X] If he scoffs at the notion of the law applying to the likes of Gregor: "There were many noble houses, important magisters and rich merchants in the cities I've conquered who thought the same about themselves. It turns out that hemp ropes care little for money or titles and neither did the crows." // Sandor is a cynic and used to the idea that with the right title or enough gold, you can do whatever you want. This is entirely true for Westeros, but not in our realm. And we have the body-count to prove it.
-[X] "It is strange though that you traveled this far on nothing but a hunch to face your brother. It seems Tywin Lannister hardly cared about the last 'hunting accident' that saw a Clegane dead, so why should you face more scrutiny if another occurred?" // Given that we dug in his past and divined him, we should be easily aware of that bit. The thing with his "plan" to face Gregor here is that it's not really holding water. Why wouldn't he just seek out Gregor, murder him and then go and be a no-name sellsword in Essos? The net result would be the same. Gregor dead and he on the run from Tywin. In fact, it would be vastly easier to hide if he just ambushed the Mountain somewhere in the boondocks. The answer to that question is pretty obvious, but it's not something we can just blurt out.
 
Perhaps he figures he'd be relatively free of consequences here because we wouldn't care and Tywin couldn't publicly come after him for it without admitting that Gregor was at our tournament in the first place? Seems like a it of a stretch, though.
 
[X] Azel

Okay, what is it? Because it is not obvious to me.

Not sure what Azel's theory is, but I've always figured it's because deep down the Hound knows he won't actually win that fight. He's constantly thinking about how he would kill Gregor if this thing or that wasn't there to stop him the same way a 'tough' guy will let his friends 'hold him back' from getting in a bar fight with someone sufficiently badass looking.
Sandor in a very real way never got up from that fire, The Mountain is still crushing him in his own mind day in and day out.
He's scared.
 
Do we have Sandor's character sheet somewhere? I didn't find any mention of house Clegane in the informationals (though I am horridly inattentive, so I probably just missed it).
