The thick gate can be only be opened by the nearby gate winch. A war horn [[Rally|rallies]] the defenders should the Grove come under attack. To the east of the ramparts is a tall hill, where the tiefling [[Nadira]] has set up with her telescope. The player may intervene to save her. A path winds down north from the hill towards the elevator to the Sacred Pool. Until [[Tuffet]] the bear can be convinced to move, the elevator is inoperable. | ||
A | A few of the tieflings have set up a small camp to the west of the ramparts. Should any of the tieflings die, they may end up buried in the small clearing to the west. | ||
When the party first approaches the ramparts before the [[Emerald Grove]], [[Aradin]] and his fellow mercenaries will be found fleeing to the gates, pursued by a hunting band of [[Goblin|goblins]]. [[Wyll]] will also make an appearance to help defend the gates. If no allied defenders are killed, the [[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] '''No One Left Behind''' ([[Soldier]] background) will be awarded. Afterwards, you can enter the grove. | |||
After the fight, several tieflings may be found atop the ramparts, processing the death of [[Kanon]]. If you head there immediately, you may be able to speak to his sister [[Arka]], but she leaves for the [[Makeshift Prison]] soon after his death. | |||
On the path past the gates, [[Aradin]] and [[Zevlor]] will be found in heated argument argument, which may come to blows unless the player intervenes. Aradin's later location might vary depending on this outcome. Once the mercenaries are gone, [[Zevlor]] will thank you for your help and request your aid with the refugees' imminent expulsion from the grove, initiating the quest [[Save the Refugees]]. | |||
[[Nadira]], a tiefling refugee, can be found on the hill to the east of the ramparts at {{Coords|242|451}}, stalked by a [[bugbear]] [[assassin]]. She will be murdered if the party takes too long to rescue her. Interacting with the telescope by Nadira allows an early glimpse of a nearby red dragon. | |||
[[Timber]] is an aggressively territorial squirrel found near the lift to the sacred pool at {{Coords|239|467}}; she may be placated or squashed. | |||
{{SpoilerDurge|On meeting [[Timber|Timber the squirrel]] at the Druid Grove, the [[The Dark Urge|Dark Urge]] will automatically punt the squirrel into the nearby rocks, with lethal consequences. The player can only control this choice if Speak with Animals is active. Killing Timber awards the [[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] '''Indulge Thine Appetites''' ([[Haunted One]] background).}} | |||

The [[Sacred Pool]] is at the heart of the Emerald Grove. The [[Idol of Silvanus]] is at the centre of the Sacred Pool. It is the site where the [[Rite of Thorns]] is being performed by the druids.
