Here. Take a look at this video. I'd never tried this myself, and when I saw this, I was like, "Wait! Now that REALLY doesn't make sense."
I mean, she's clearly talking about one of Aradin's party that they're interrogating, and she firmly believes they're hiding the weapon in the grove? What???
It does, at least, explain a bit more why Minthara is so bent on wiping the grove out, but then, was she just happy to see the nautiloid because she knew there would be new converts?
Nah. If she didn't think the weapon was on the nautiloid, then the only thing that makes sense is that she was happy to see it because she knew SPECIAL True Souls - YOU - were on board.
Me thinks that's why Gut even says "Now here's someone special," and why Minthara says, "This one's one of the Absolute's favorites."
Oh yes. I'm certain we are more special than that we simply didn't get to Moonrise to complete our training. No. I'll wager there something so much more, which is why we're even able to manipulate the minds of other True Souls - like with the Ragzlin scene where you can influence him and take over the interrogation of the mind flayer.
