No motive at all ... sure. laugh
How much of this is offered to you, and how much of it did you come up with as personal justification?
I rather call it observation, and deduction ... something my characters usualy do. O_o

Maybe some alterned Minthara in another universe could ...
But not this one we have. :-/

Lets see it one by one:
- She have no reason to offer you alliance, bcs she presume you allready are allies ... proof: She threats you as her subject, but another agent of the Absolute.
- I dunno what answers you want, but if you mean what is the Absolute, that question is answered multiple times in whole goblin camp by multiple characters ...
- Connections ... once again, im not quite sure what conection you mean, but if you need her to tell you that there is connection between tadpole and Absolute, she cant bcs she dont know about the tadpole.
- For the same reason she cant even convince you that the tadpole is a good thing ... also Minthara really dont seem to me like convincive character, she give orders, and punish those who disobey.
- In her eyes they get all their power directly from the Absolute, and that is exactly what she say to you ... she even promises you her favour.

Yup ... remove, or exploit ... that is theme of this whole tadpole charade.
