I am just here to dump another reference to a Grove attack that never happened. This time it concerns the Steel Watch.
In fairness, the grove didn't have to fall for her to say that.
Destroying the grove was once a topic of concern for her. She's thinking back. How much easier it would have been to topple the grove if she had these things under her control instead of a bunch of goblins.
Basically, "I failed to defeat the grove, but I wouldn't have failed if I had these things."
