Volo can first be encountered in the Sacred Pool area of the {{coords|260|511|Druid Grove}} 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 rumours 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]]. | {{CharLink|Volo}} can first be encountered in the Sacred Pool area of the {{coords|260|511|Druid Grove}} after the initial raid on the Grove.

If Volo is spoken to, he'll tell them to step back, as he's being held captive by the goblins. His captor, {{CharLink|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. | ||
