*Fight the Druids.
In order to receive this quest, the party must be on good terms with the tiefling children in the Grove. A variety of quests influence how Mol sees them:
**We took the [[Idol of Silvanus|sacred idol]] and disrupted the ritual. Now the druids are attacking the tieflings.
* [[Investigate the Beach]] - Save [[Mirkon]] from the Harpies
*Give the idol to Mol.
* [[Save Arabella]] - Save [[Arabella]] from Teela
**We stole the sacred idol and killed all the druids. Now we just have to deliver the idol to Mol.
* [[Find Your Belongings]] - Do not threaten the tiefling children
*Find Mol in Baldur's Gate.  
* [[Return the Locket]] - Resolve the conflict with [[Meli]] keeping the locket
**We gave the sacred idol to Mol. She promised to repay us in Baldur's Gate.
 
The most effective way to gain Mol's respect is to rescue Mirkon. He informs the party about the location of the tiefling hideout and the password needed to enter, allowing a simple path forward. Once inside, Mol greets the party and thanks them for all the good deeds they've done for the children. Choosing "Thought you might need help with something" causes Mol to request stealing the [[Idol of Silvanus]] as revenge for hurting Arabella and the other tiefling refugees. Agreeing to steal the idol starts the quest. If you don't choose the dialogue option to help Mol you'll be blocked out of the quest and its reward.
 
[[File:Idol of Silvanus Location.jpg|thumb|Idol of Silvanus in the Sacred Pool.]]
The Idol of Silvanus is in the center of the Sacred Pool {{Coords|243|507}} right in the middle of the Rite of Thorns ritual and surrounded by druids. It is possible to simply walk up and take the idol, but doing so results in the druids becoming hostile. All of the druids must be killed in that instance. Attempting to steal the Idol at all while the Rite is ongoing results in hostile druids. Or, you can place the idol in a crate to bypass the Druids becoming hostile. {{Verify}}
 
The Idol can be stolen without angering the druids. To do this, [[Investigate Kagha]] must have been completed and the Rite stopped (but note that you must start the quest before halting the ritual or it will not be offered). After this, the party can use sneaking skills to stealthily steal the idol. Spells like Darkness, Fog Cloud, and Greater Invisibility are also immensely helpful. If the party is caught, the druids can still be bypassed with a {{Ability Check|Deception,Intimidation|15}}
 
 
Another option is to Stealth, steal the idol and fast travel before being talked to by a druid. Returning to the grove will no longer consider you hostile. Returning to Mol will still trigger normal quest dialog.
