Idol of Silvanus. She is the objective of the 
quest.

The party can intervene to save Arabella. If she is saved, she returns to her parents, who then scold her for her actions. Komira gives the party 
Komira's Locket as a reward, and Arabella explains that she thought the Druids will try to listen to the refugees, if she stole their idol. She expresses disappointment on her failed quest and worries that Mol might be angry with her.
If Kagha is not convinced, Arabella is killed by Teela. She can later be avenged either during the quest or, if her parents and Kagha are still alive, during the Tiefling Party at the campsite, where Kagha is poisoned by Komira and Locke.

Should the party agree to search for them this starts the quest and Arabella can be invited to Camp.

Sadly, Arabella's parents did not survive and their corpses can be found under the care of Sister Lidwin in the House of Healing.
How Arabella takes the news depends on when she is told. If the party finds her parents' corpses before finding Arabella, then there is an option to tell her immediately. If this is done, then Arabella is shocked and upset, and runs off into the shadows. If, instead, Arabella goes to camp and is able to form a bond with Withers, then she takes the news much better. She still becomes distraught and refuses to talk to the party after they tell the news, but calms down after a Long Rest and is able to accept her parents' deaths.

. In the end, Withers encourages her to go her own way and follow the Weave, stating that she has her own destiny to follow. Arabella remains in camp until the end of Act Two.

If the party member who speaks to her passes an Arcana check, they can learn that the stone is magical, and has absorbed lifetimes upon lifetimes of stories from the city above. Arabella is absorbing them too. She tells the party that "Bone Man" (her name for Withers) was right, that the Weave guides her. She hints that the party might see her again.
Arabella can be recruited as part of the quest (see quest page for more details about recruitment). She gives the 
condition to members of your party.

During the Epilogue, a 
Letter from Arabella (Epilogue) can be found in the 
Chest of Grateful Words. She informs the player character that she "followed the Weave" like Withers told her to, and she is now under the tutelage of someone she calls "Beard Man" (maybe Elminster), who is teaching her, how to use the Weave responsibly.
