Winter is Coming: House Stark Quest

It could depend on Joffrey's or Cersei's moods. Ned is a lot higher profile than Tyrion, and an angry mob may not be thrilled about Need being refused a proper champion if he asks for one of his bannermen.
He's need to make his demands/requests known right there, then, otherwise he'll be shuttled off where there's no crowd.

Too bad Ned doesn't know how to play the crowd. If he did, he could probably buy some time if he got them to side with him on getting a fighter from the North.

But seriously, let's go for the most interesting option here that actually has a chance of working favorably.

- [x] Demand trial by combat.

I remember reading that Baristan went to the Sept of Balor to pray for Ned's soul right after the execution. He SHOULD still be in the city.

That still doesn't answer my question. I know he left the Kingsguard order, but we haven't got confirmation if he left the city.
It's mentioned in the books that Baristan went to the Sept of Balor to pray for Ned's soul right after the execution. He SHOULD still be in the city.
Okay, this makes me feel a lot better about this.

Now, the only problem is that Barristan apparently didn't want to touch a weapon until he swore to Danny?

Uh, while I'm pretty sure he could kill anyone in the city with his bare hands, I'd rather her didn't take a massive hit to his roll or DC, so here's hoping he hasn't made that decision yet.

He may not be decided on that yet. Also, he could still use a quarterstaff - he was willing to do that.
 
If he accepts to be our champion, there is very few in King´s Landing that could take him down...

If Joffrey was intelligent enough he will ask for a Trial of seven (like the one which had Duncan the Tall) but fortunately, he will be too fucking furious to think about that.
He's also too dumb to think of that, never mind too furious.

I hope Ned survives. If he doesn't, at least let Sansa die with him. Then we can just kill Jaime and Tywin and raze KL instead of diplomacing the Lannisters.

Also, who's up for installing Tyrion as Lord of the Westerlands to establish peace between us? Might have to give him his brother alive for that to happen though.
 
Let's not speak like Barristan will be our champion. This is King's Landing and Cersei and Joffrey we're talking about. They could execute Ned, regardless of consequences, right away. Barristan might not be nearby. There might not be a champion around to represent Ned. This is a chance, yes, but we shouldn't count our dragons before they're hatched.

Barristan is, according to canon, among the crowd, he literally can´t be nearer...
And execute Sansa as well. But at this point the thread is dead-set on Ned not giving a false confession even if it puts Sansa in the firing line, so we're fighting a lost battle there.
The thing is that most of the people likes Ned a lot more than Sansa, so I have taken the option that may save Ned´s life, even if we put Sansa in danger.
