And right now she had to rally every possible force, and Sela's group was undoubtedly among them. No one knew the Supernatural Power of this ship better than Amanda.
Amanda hadn't lied; the monster really was coming from the sea.
But Amanda had played a little trick, namely with timing and direction.
The Heretics' lair was to the north of Hamlet, while Sela was heading south; their routes only intersected at this single point: Hamlet.
On top of that, a Romani ship was no ordinary vessel. If Sela really sailed off as planned, she might very well miss the monster entirely and escape successfully.
If you honestly tried to persuade them to stay and help, even if you offered an outrageous price, Sela would turn around and run on the spot.
But using "the cargo hasn't been paid for yet" as a reason to talk her out of going to her death would at least make her hesitate.
