Minthara is a paladin of her word. She does not make promises, she makes vows. She makes oaths. Even as an oathbreaker, she heavily adheres to the tenants of it. Being an oathbreaker just gives her more flexibility and freedom to fulfill the oaths she makes. She never breaks a promise and she never breaks a vow, and when she says she's going to do something she is going to do it.
So when she says she will go to Avernus with or without Karlach, she means it. She will personally throw hands with Zariel, and the only thing that will stop her is Zariel's death, or her own. And it is one thing if Karlach does go with her, but a whole other thing if Karlach dies on that pier.
Not only will Minthara be grieving, she will be wrathful. And she's going to channel that wrath to the front to avoid feeling the grief (cause she doesn't always approach her emotions in the healthiest way). And she's going to take some of Karlach's rage and Karlach's fury with her. She will kill any demon or devil that gets in her way. There will be no distractions, unless the side quest gets her closer to Zariel or increases her chances in the fights to come.
Minthara is not doing this for power, she is not doing this for glory, she does not care for a crown or a throne. She is down there in Avernus to avenge the love that burned out too soon.
#bg3#baldur's gate 3#minthara#minthara baenre#karlach#karlach cliffgate#burnre#karlach x minthara#minthara x karlach#headcanons#and you know what - if she finds the time - she just might kill mizora while she's down there solely because karlach hated that bitch.#and when zariel is finally dead and minthara's knuckles are bruised and bloody#and her oath is fulfilled and the vengeance and the anger fades#she has to confront her grief and the fact that none of this was ever going to bring karlach back#minthara has always known the the world is unfair. but she will actually *feel* that all of this is unfair#but karlach never stopped moving and she never stopped finding beauty in the world - even when she knew her days were numbered#even with her grief - minthara will still get back up and keep living and keep fighting for karlach's sake#and try to discover whatever beauty karlach found in the world.#one of the hardest parts about shipping minthara with a non-elf or a race that doesn't have a long life span#is knowing that minthara is going to outlive them and she'll be alone#and she would *not* handle the grief process well at all#if you both are to die - she wants to die with you because she doesn't want to outlive you and be left alone with her grief#even if karlach did survive and found a cure for her heart - she was always going to die first
