Olodan

Olodan is a halfling druid in the Emerald Grove during Act One.

Overview

Personality

Olodan is a prominent member of the Shadow Druids who has been conspiring with Kagha to overtake the Emerald Grove in the name of their violent order. As a cold-hearted fanatic to the ideals of the Shadow Druids, Olodan views others as 'untouchables'. She does not share the same ideals on harmony as the druids of Silvanus' Grove, nor does she take issue in using underhanded methods to further her goals. In her pursuit of the Shadow Druids taking control of the Grove, she swayed Kagha on violent views on protecting nature and conspired with her to unleash the Rite of Thorns to seal off the Grove.

Cruel as she is, she is compassionate to Kagha when their plot is exposed and open about their intentions. However, even if the party allow the shadow druids to overtake the Grove, she does not spare them for exposing her plot. If Kagha turns against her, she becomes bitter at the Archdruid's last moment face-turn.

Involvement

Act One

Olodan can be found in the Inner Sanctum with her fellow Shadow Druids Pinta and Wren, all of whom are  Wild Shaped as rats. If interacting with them using  Speak with Animals, they remain silent and non-threatening.

When enough evidence of Kagha's schemes are revealed, Olodan and her druids reveal themselves and admit to their plans. She orders Kagha to join them in killing the party and taking over the druid circle. Unless Kagha is persuaded otherwise, she joins the Shadow Druids against the party, along with Marcoryl and Loic.
