I like the Salt Lizard's little dig on Roger here. "You had a great time playing the troll and making Alderode hate you. But if you want victory, you'll have to trade away everything you are - and you won't get to enjoy the prize."
Roger doesn't seem too keen on that, understandably. It's one thing to die unintended in the heat of battle. It's another to march coldly towards a certain and terrible death. It's no wonder Salty waited to tell him the final step of this scheme until it was too late for him to walk away. She's more cunning than she looks.
