That was an awkward time to escalate tension, but I guess if you really want to have more drama in your story this is precisely the moment to do so. It also challenges our main character's resolve at the best moment of her life, which would vindicate all the lessons she gained at the very beginning of her quest. In short, this is the climax that we all have been waiting for in a while. Hopefully it ends on a proper note so our investment on this journey would be worthwhile.
