Go to camp, and Minthara congratulates the party and rewards them with a gift from the Absolute - a True Soul tadpole. After the night ends, Minthara tells the party they must go to [[Moonrise Towers]] to find their place in the Absolute's Grand Design. She provides a [[Spider's Lyre]] and explains that a servant of hers can lead the party through the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]] where the Tower is located. | If the party obeys, Minthara and the Goblin raiders will become allies while the tieflings and Wyll (if present) will become enemies.

He tells the party the best shot at curing their tadpoles is going there, and offers to go with them. | Protecting the grove, has the tieflings act as allies.
