I know we see him being experimented on so its unlikely he doesn't survive I was just wondering if both men died what would the verdict be?
She laughs because of the incredible effort the hound has gone to to sell her to her family being foiled once again.
In the trial by combat it doesn't matter what happens to the mountain, only whether the accused's champion lives or dies. It's not about winning or losing, per se, it's about what the gods indicate about the guilt/innocence of the accused. And I think, in this case, it was about the most obvious divine intervention verdict you could ever have
