Laseen knew the shit was going to hit the fan during this episode at Malaz Island. She brought herself and I think 3 boatloads of Claw into Malaz for the festivitites. I, personally, would think she would want mostly loyal claws in that group so that the evening of madness does not turn into the evening of laseens assasination...I guess it depends on rather you think Laseen was a good knowledgeable Empress or a moronic clueless empress. Shadow Throne certainly thought the entire claw was decimated, not just the majority of a faction...You would think he would have a reasonable idea of how many Claw memebers their are.

not trying to be a smartass, but maybe the Wizards of pale were just a cowardly group. Nobody likes going through life feeling like you have a target on your back.
I think the best possibility is the claw's bark was always greater than their bite. I would think that part of the claws job is fear mongering. Very usefull tool. They would spread rumors about how no one escaped a "night of butchery" from their last conquest. "Mages were helpless against them , for all claw carry otatarol weapons." We know this isnt true but would the wizards of Pale? Propaganda would be an incredibly powerful tool of the claw. If they were not using propaganda and disinformation they would be throwing away a great ally.
