Good point. Personally I think at least one of them had to, without leadership from the front at that point no-one would have gone at all, and given Orlanthi prejudices, staying leader thereafter, having apparently been a coward, would have been very hard. But yes, the consequences were bad.

Although there was also the point that she'd been injured in her SLBQ - I assume in some serious and long-term way, or it would have been taken for granted, healed up, and not mentioned. Possibly she just wasn't up to fighting in the front lines. Maybe both were factors. Plus various other people with more sense sitting on her....
