Nerd In the North - Greg Arc End Choice
Starting from the end of arc five, I will be leaving some decisions up to you guys.
In this case, how should this arc end?
Specifically, in regards to Greg’s mission.

Greg getting kidnapped or not saving Sansa would just feel contrived, the only way I see it happening is that they figure out he is here to save her and they tell him to surrender or they will kill her like they have her at knife point when he arrives. It would be nice to see something cool happen to Myrcella for once, like I get her characters point, where the irony is that shes turns out to be the "great ruler" Cersei fantasied Jofferey would be, only to lose her to a rivial. but idk felt more could have been done with her and her brother for that matter.
I see the both option is winning. Kidnapping princesses, eh? Time for the face/heel turn meme arc....
I do feel like the kidnapping will harm more than gain. Plus it’s kinda against Greg character so far.
Maybe Greg won’t actually kidnap her, but the Lannisters just paint it that way.
I can't see taking Myrcella being a remotely good choice.
Why would Greg kidnap Myrcella?? The obvious answer is an eye for an eye, getting leverage to force the other side to surrender despite whatever trauma and risks it poses to Myrcella, an innocent kid, but isn't he trying a better-than-thou noble justice schtick? Isn't that the reason he's kept swallowing down all his grievances with his "allies"? Like the numerous post-truce assassination attempts, implied threats, and derogatory insults they've levied at him, to which he's done comparatively nothing about, but toothlessly huffs and puffs about to Robb, who either handwaves it away or gives (figurative) slaps on the wrist?
Numerous post truce assassination attempts?
Why would myrcella help she's currently crazy because of what happened to tommen, personally watching Greg go to kl infiltrate maegors only to find out the royal party is in another castle (having a picnic in the Kingswood or something) would be hilarious
It’ll probably be: Greg Saves Sansa and Myrcella helps them escape and then asks to come along. Also, I can’t imagine a scenario where Greg is captured -just, no. Even with mind control Joffrey knows nothing about tactics or strategy, so he’ll make a mess of it. In fact, I give it a month or two before Joffrey has an ‘accident’ and dies of natural causes -like falling down stairs (gravity is very natural).
