Who among us wouldn't run to the safety of the grove, hoping to find sanctuary?
Anyone who knew that leading the enemy straight to the doorstep of your friends and family is a colossally stupid move.
Literally, the only thing stopping the Goblins from murderizing the entire grove is that they don't know where it is. That's what they were torturing what's-his-face to find out. It's what Minthara wants you to tell her.
The nerve of these refugees.
Ahh yes, the nerve. Apparently it's not normal for a bunch of civilians to not want to open the doors for a bunch of people who explicitly want to slaughter them...
If it weren't for this ridiculous order then Kanon might have lived.
If it wasn't for the ridiculous order to open the gates, Kanon WOULD have lived. At least temporarily. When the goblins went back to their camp and told everyone where the grove was, everyone would likely die...
At the point of Aradin coming to the gates, he had doomed everyone in the grove, including himself, unless the impromtu militia were able to kill every last goblin he'd lead there. Which, if it wasn't for a trio of random strangers happening upon them at that exact moment... Wouldn't have happened.
Then Aradin gets called a blowhard for being upset. I'd be upset too.
He's a blowhard because he made a dumb decision. He did the literal worst possible thing he could, purely to save his own sorry hide and to hell with the dozens of others he put in mortal danger because of that decision.
Then he gets all angry because apparently everyone didn't like him completely disregarding them and putting them in mortal danger to save himself...
