This quest can also be completed successfully by completing the quest [[Raid the Grove]] - by revealing the location of the [[Druid Grove]] to [[Minthara]], but betraying her during the siege.

He says that the leaders of the Goblins are planning to assault the grove and offers to join up with the player's party as a temporary companion to escape. | ||
NOTE: Accepting his offer turns the entire camp hostile. If Halsin's offer is rejected, he remains in the worg pens until the leaders are taken care of. | |||

[[Priestess Gut]] (X:297, Y:-18) is in front of the giant throne immediately north of the front entrance. She offers to brand the party with the [[Brand of the Absolute]], which can be accepted or rejected. Regardless of whether the brand is taken or not, Gut recognizes the party as fellow True Souls. She attempts to probe into the party's minds with her illithid powers. Allow her to do this, and she notices something is amiss. Explain that it's the result of the tadpoles and ask if she can help, commencing [[Ask the Goblin Priestess for Help]].

Follow her to her chambers, where she says she has a cure for the tadpole. She says that a special cleansing potion must be taken first. However, an [[Arcana]] check reveals this is a sleeping potion. If she's called out on this, or if the party member in question is resistant to sleeping potions (ie an elf or half-elf), she becomes hostile and also triggers several nearby goblins to become hostile. However, if the potion is taken, she chains up the party member and says she intends for them to become her pet squid. It's possible to either break free with an [[Acrobatics]] or [[Strength]] check, but a special scene plays if nothing is done at all.

Return to the Worg Pens and report to Halsin on the leaders' defeat. He is grateful and willing to answer many questions about his knowledge of the tadpoles as well as the strange movements of Absolutists at Moonrise Towers. He tells the party to return to the Druid Grove and he will meet them there. Return to the Sacred Pool area, where Halsin confronts Kagha about her actions. He will either demote her status to an initiate or cast her out entirely, depending on if [[Investigate Kagha]] was completed. | Return to the Worg Pens and report to Halsin on the leaders' defeat.
