Eshonai participating in killing Szeth

[rimorob]

All of the speculation of Szeth vs Kaladin duel has focused on either one-on-one combat (refuted by the released cover) or by the additional role played by Adolin (or even Renarin).  However, recall how:

1. Eshonai is regretful that Gavilar had to be killed

2. Cognizant of the fact that his death was in vain

3. Looking for a way to arrange matters diplomatically (in vain)

 

This seems like the perfect opportunity for the Parshendi, or at least for that one Parshendi, to right the wrong and help defend Dalinar.  Furthermore, in shardplate she might be able to approach the chaos of a fight either unrecognized and unnoticed or at least unopposed.  Certainly, the cover doesn't show Eshonai.  On the other hand, everyone expects Kaladin to fight Szeth - there's no doubt that he will - but Eshonai's role is too much of a prize to give away on the cover.  So, I say, Eshonai to the rescue!

Addendum: there's not necessarily going to be a 'killing'.  A capture seems possible as well.

I think the Kaladin vs Seth fight may not happen. Or at least the way we think it will. I think eshonai getting involved if feasible, although from the journal entries by mrs Kholin one would assume that peace is pretty much off the table, so coming to the aid of the alethi would not be in eshonais plan regardless of her personal feelings.
