Yet another thread on Hilgya's alignment

[KorvinStarmast]

The battle is absolutely one that could be avoided by Hilgya. She has one and only one reason for joining the battle: the get revenge on Durkon. She valued that more than her child's safety, as evidenced by going into the battle.

I am going to ask you to channel Elan for a bit, and reconsider that post. The premise that Hilgya can reject the narrative does not strike me as valid. She's not a real person, she's a character in a comic.

None of the above answer or excuses the point, that is made by the usual Greek chorus, that when offered a wide open and utterly valid chance to find and kill Durkon while leaving Kudzu in safe hands, she responds in a self centered and, to most common sense perspectives, irrational manner. That's a sign, as I see it, from Rich that she's not quite right in the head.
