Volo can first be encountered in the Sacred Pool area of the | Volo can first be encountered in the Sacred Pool area of the [[Druid Grove]] (X:260, Y:511) after the initial raid on the Grove. Volo is speaking with a bear and trying to get information on what happened at the raid. If the party speaks to him, he asks them questions and clearly embellishes what he is told, including adding a Silver Dragon to the battle. Volo explains that he's heard rumors the goblins have abandoned their god Maglubiyet in favour of someone called the '[[The Absolute|Absolute]].' He plans to slip into their camp to learn more. With that, he leaves for the [[Goblin Camp]]. | ||
Regardless of if the party spoke to Volo or not, he'll appear in the main courtyard of the Goblin Camp, where he's regaling the goblins with a ballad about their king, [[Dror Ragzlin]]. If Volo is spoken to, he'll tell them to step back, as he's being held captive by the goblins. His captor, [[Gribbo]] notices and asks if he knows the party. Volo freaks out and stumbles while trying to continue the ballad, so Gribbo kicks him off the stage and escorts him back to his cage. | Regardless of if the party spoke to Volo or not, he'll appear in the main courtyard of the Goblin Camp, where he's regaling the goblins with a ballad about their king, [[Dror Ragzlin]].

He compliments the camp and explains a bit more about what he's been researching - Mindflayers, cultists, and the company of the party. Volo can be told that the party encountered Mindflayers, to which Volo is incredulous that such creatures would be at the Sword Coast. Explaining that a Mindflayer put a tadpole in the party's skull has him again in disbelief. Tell Volo to perform an examination and he believes the party. Ask Volo if he can help and he says he needs time to research, but that he'll do his best to help. | ||
After the next long rest, Volo has a solution. He says the tadpole is behind the orbital socket and an extraction should be simple. He produces a needle from his satchel and nervously prepares to perform surgery. There are six opportunities to stop the surgery. Choosing 'Hold your breath' is the point of no return. After this, Volo uses an ice pick to try to extract the tadpole, and ends up removing an eye instead. Feeling guilty, he replaces the eye with [[ | After the next long rest, Volo has a solution.
