Overview

Personality

Kagha is willing to take drastic action to prove her authority over the Emerald Grove. She views the tiefling refugees as parasites and refers to them as devils and a rot to be cleansed.

Kagha justifies her actions as those of a watchful broodmother. As such, Kagha admires drow and duergar for their culture of self-preservation. If the player character is a drow or duergar, she attempts to appeal to them by calling their presence a gift.

Involvement

Act One

Zevlor Zevlor requests the party's aid on dealing with the acting Archdruid of the Grove, Kagha. He says that she and the other druids are preparing a ritual to seal off the Grove from the rest of the world, endangering the tiefling refugees.

Saving Arabella

Main article: Save Arabella

The party find Kagha reprimanding a tiefling child named Arabella Arabella for attempting to steal the Idol of Silvanus. The party and another druid, Rath Rath, can intervene to save her. Should the party fail to persuade Kagha or decide to not intervene, Arabella attempts to run, and Kagha's snake chases her down and kills her.

Investigate Kagha

Main article: Investigate Kagha

Kagha can be investigated and confronted by the party. This must be done before Halsin Halsin is rescued from the Goblin Camp. Otherwise, the quest is cancelled early.

If searching the sanctum, Kagha's personal chest can be found. Lockpicking it reveals a letter that advances Investigate Kagha Investigate Kagha and guides the party to a covert location in the Swamp, where the party can learn that Kagha is secretly planning to offer the Grove to the shadow druids of the Cloakwood.

If returning and confronting Kagha about her plan, the shadow druids reveal themselves and ask Kagha to attack the party and everyone else in the Sanctum. The party can persuade Kagha to see her wrongs and to instead join the Grove's druids.

Should Kagha survive, she shows remorse for her actions. She thanks the party and allows the tieflings to remain at the Grove for as long as they need. If the player character is a druid, she bestows them the title of Faithwarden and gifts them Pale Oak.

Kagha's fate

If the party do not kill Kagha themselves, her fate depends largely on whether she was persuaded to turn against the shadow druids, and whether Arabella died in her custody.

  • Kagha repented
    • Arabella lives, her parents live
      • Halsin allows Kagha to remain in the Grove, however she is demoted to novice. (If the party returns to the area later in Act 1, she will be standing on the path overlooking the grove -- near where Zevlor and Aradin fought when the party first arrived.)
    • Arabella died, her parents live
      • Halsin leaves her fate in Locke Locke and Komira Komira's hands. They will attempt to poison Kagha at the party, which will kill her unless the party intervenes.
