Walkthrough
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:
- Investigate the Beach - Save Mirkon from the Harpies
- Save Arabella - Save Arabella from Teela
- Find Your Belongings - Do not threaten the tiefling children
- Return the Locket - Resolve the conflict with Meli keeping the locket
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.
The Idol of Silvanus is in the center of the Sacred Pool X: 243 Y: 507 right in the middle of the Rite of Thorns ritual and surrounded by druids.
