I have been thinking about the betrayal that is supposed to happen. I dont know if this counts as a betrayal, but it does seem like Sinter, Kisswhere and Masan Galani's "help" might be very counterproductive. Bringing the Kundryl burned tears to the battle seemed to have very little upside , as it really only caused their seemingly destruction, and Masan seems to have found the wrong group of TI. Maybe I am wrong but I assume she was sent to find Tool, or other TI loyal to the Malazan empire. I somehow dont think she was sent to find the unbound, but maybe I am wrong. Just some thoughts.

No, I suspect she was sent to find those Unbound. She even comments that she was supposed to find more, as in all 7. Makes me wonder about Tavore really. Her whole goal to unchain the Crippled God sounds very noble, however...there's usually a reason as to why things get chained. Like that Ortataral Dragon in the Imperial Warren. Which, for the umpteenth time I wonder, "Wtf is she doing?!" I need to get TCG asap.

I agree on both parts. I think that Sinter's method of dealing with the impending betrayal probably planted seeds of doubt in the Perish. I also thought that Masan was supposed to find Tool's Tlan Imass not the unbound. He also receives the signal that she sent out, but was farther away from here than the unbound were. The unbound work for the Crippled god if im not mistaken, so it does not make sense for Tavore to ally herself with them. I thought they were planning on slaying the crippled god, if t says somewhere in the book that they were only unchaining him then I missed it.

i believe it is during masan, sinter and kisswhere's pow-wow where masan tells them that she thinks they are going after the crippled gods chains.

Before even that. When Tavore meets with her commanders and Quick Ben before a meeting with Tehol early in the book she implies it and someone confims it.

I just read the Dal Hon powwow scene and can confirm that Masan (speaking for many Bonehunters) implies they are marching to free the Crippled God, not kill him. They send her to Tavore to convince the Adjunct she's not alone in undetaking the challenge.

Also: they think they will add cover stories to imply Masan Gilani wasn't a real deserter, and that no one will be surprised if Kisswhere splits. What I want to know if how many soldiers would mutiny and desert THEMSELVES knowing the two hottest babes the army has to offer, possibly barring Yil, have up and split in the night. Nothing left but Rumjugs for all...
