If the party obeys, Minthara and the Goblin raiders will become allies while the tieflings and Wyll (if present) will become enemies. The new group will begin moving through the grove in sections clearing out all that remain. Return to Minthara after the battle and she tells the party she'll meet them at camp. 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.

If [[Halsin]] is alive, he appears to congratulate the party and explains the strange movements occurring at Moonrise Towers. 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.

Choosing to raid the Grove with the goblin forces has immense, far-reaching consequences for the game, some of which can only be felt in later Acts. These consequences include: | |||

If the party brings the goblins to the Grove, but then sides with the Grove, then the story plays out similarly to if the party had defeated the goblin camp leaders. The only additional risk is that some of the tieflings die in the crossfire. Siding with the Grove results in Minthara being unavailable as a companion. | |||
