What is up with the center of the druid grove? They attacked me?

[fefnir3284]

I entered the grove, paladin judged her innocent and saved. Then I talked to the wolf, let him sniff me, and the druid leader attacks me. I reload and she IMMEDIATELY attacks me. I relaod again and nothing, then I talk to her agree to help the refuges and talk to another druid, in MID conversation SHE ATTACKS ME. I reload and I take one step and SHE ATTACKS me.
What the hell is going on?

[Kuro]

Did you use friend spell or charm spell or any of this sort of spell?

[ExcaliburV]

Did you cast friends to save the kid?

People, uh, tend to get mad when they realize you mind controlled them.

[Yojo0o]

Sounds like abuse of the Friends cantrip.

[fefnir3284]

what? damnit. I thought 'friends' were my friends int he party. like strength in numbers. damn it. thanks for letting me know.

[Dragon Master]

Just a quick tip. Real all your spell descriptions.

The friends spell specifically says once it ends they know they were mind controlled. People tend to turn hostile when they are mind controlled and they know it was you.

It's great for areas or people you don't care about though.

[Yojo0o]

Nope, that's your cantrip.

It's a pretty bad cantrip, since your victim will realize soon that you've used mind control against them. I haven't bothered taking it in BG3, but in tabletop DnD I've only ever used it for interrogations against a captured enemy, or with an NPC in the middle of nowhere that I don't plan on ever seeing again.

So am I 100% screwed? I have three saves but all of them are after judging the kid free even though I have a base +6-9 to set her free and cant really fail and dont need friends.

Or can I step outside that room wait a bit then go back in and normally talk to people?

If you cheese it and come back later you shoooould be ok

[fefnir3284]

Okay I think I cheesed it. I waited at the exit, watched the coutner get to damn near zero, being out of site of her, she says "wow, impressive" and I immediately GTFO of the room. I then come back and no combat. so I guess i saved my ass there. mental know F the friends spell 100%
