Robert is more useful to us dead then alive, especially when Cersei is caught red handed.
A dead Robert means we can flip Stannis.
Personally I think Robert has already suffered enough, so I say if negotiations with Ned are successful, we promise to reincarnate Robert, he loses all titles, and get placed under a geas never to spread his identity, and then he can try(and probably fail) to woo Lyanna, as a hedge knight of considerable skill.Man, what a special kind of hell. Robert Baratheon would not be loved at the Wall. Almost everyone would have some reason to resent or hate him. Whoever doesn't care one way or another won't be getting chummy too quickly either, seeing as how they know where they get their bread buttered (thy name be Viserys Targaryen).
With that in mind, I'm okay with that outcome. It's no less than he deserves.
@DragonParadox, when will Robert depart for Winterfell and who comes along?

Use Targeted reincarnation to change his ethnicity, to something that's very much not Westerosi, being unrecognizable as Robert, and with everyone knowing Robert died in the reclamation, he's not a good rallying point for any new rebellion.
How is he more useful dead than on the wall?Robert is more useful to us dead then alive, especially when Cersei is caught red handed.

That is much earlier then convenient...Next month. He will be bringing Joffrey and perhaps Myrcella, though Tommen is too young and Cersei will probably use that as an excuse to stay behind. Of the King's guard Baristen is certain the others are not and of the Small Council he is not bringing anyone so as not to elave the Lannisters unchecked at court.
Oh yeah, brutal sociopath. Good point!Just as a note Dany would probably be unhappy if it came to that. He smiled over the broken bodies of Rhaenys and Aegon, he pardoned their killers.
If it would make Dany unhappy, then I'm only going to encourage not having Robert killed, if he surrenders, or pull something heroic that deserves a pardon.Just as a note Dany would probably be unhappy if it came to that. He smiled over the broken bodies of Rhaenys and Aegon, he pardoned their killers.
I don't think he's quite that bad, he just have a huge blindspot when it comes to the Targaryan's, which mean the death of Rhaegar's children made him happy, but if they had been alive, I don't think Robert would have been able to kill them himself.

That's actually a brilliant way to arrange his death. Pulling it off would be tricky but Bloodraven could almost certainly handle it.Sooooo, who wants to help speed up Johnny learn of the childrens true parentage while Robert is in Winterfell and then tip off Cersei?
@zxzx24, as long as Robert lives, we can't flip Ned and Stannis. If Cersei offs him, we are golden.
So next month, we let Bloodraven off Jon Arryn, leaving some vague hints of a Lannister power-grab. That moves Ned into the vipers pit and removes one of our problems.
Yeah Bloodraven had a blast with that information. Dany was less pleased about it.Wait, do we even know IC that cerci's kids are products of incest? We learnt that from Varys right?

You did, more more precisely you learned it from a vastly amused Bloodraven after he looked in Varys' head.
BTW what do you guys think of the way I portrayed Ned? Does anything feel off?
That's not better.I don't think he's quite that bad, he just have a huge blindspot when it comes to the Targaryan's, which mean the death of Rhaegar's children made him happy, but if they had been alive, I don't think Robert would have been able to kill them himself.
The man is good at smashing things and making friends, and the Wall the perfect place to use the former from the latter.Man, what a special kind of hell.
