[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My lingering questions:

Why was it so important to lure Maester Pycel into the crypt and kill him separately away from the other people?

Ditto Lancel Lannister -- and why was Lancel distracted from rounding up Cersei by seeing a little kid wander into the crypt?  It didn't really make sense to me.  Oh, I've been ordered to round up Cersei for her trial, but there's a little kid wandering into the crypt, so I think I'll go investigate.

Why put Lancel in the crypt with the wildfire?  Just to psychologically torture him?

Who were the kids?  Street kids?  Little birds?[/quote]

I think Pycelle was perhaps either too decrepit to make it to the Great Sept for the trial or was meant to stay with and then accompany King Tommen, so they had to get him at the Red Keep.  Lancel, though, was an accident, which is why there was only one Little Bird to get him (versus the dozen that got the old man Pycelle).  Lancel was never supposed to leave the Great Sept; he just left because he was told to go fetch Cersei. He just happened to see the little kid, then went after him.  Now, why he went after the little kid, when the High Sparrow wanted him to get Cersei, I don't know.

The Pycelle scene was similar to one of the final scenes in the last book, when Varys reappears for the first time with a bunch of little birds, to kill Kevan Lannister (and succeeds).  Apparently Kevan was doing too good of a job in running the kingdom, as Tommen's hand, and Varys instead wanted Cersei running things into the ground, to make way for Daenerys.
