Druid Grove and Goblin Camp dilemma.

Playing Dark Urge and feeling conflicted about who to help.
so...is it possible I can just kill them both?

Attack Kagha in the grove to get the massacre underway, though if you steal the idol instead you get a cool cutscene. Kill the stragglers afterwards. Then go to the blighted village and just kill every single thing in the vicinity from there to the camp. Bada bing bada boom, a pile of dead bodies.

If you want to go for a more evil vibe though. Side with Minthara, betray the tieflings, betray Minthara at the party to kill her and other gobbos. Then backtrack to goblin camp to kill the rest of them. Or to save time, side with Minthara, decimate the goblin camp, then join her at the grove to kill tieflings before killing her and her gobbies at the party.

That was the original plan, but I'm worried I'll gimp myself with the lack of gear to buy later.

Why? There is literally 0 ingame reasons to help goblins over people who take you in. Coomers drool over Myntara, aside.

Who takes you in? The tieflings open the druids door to let their own people in, and you just..kinda follow.
The druids are massive assclowns. Blame Kagha all you want, they could've stepped up at any time.
The Teiflings are decent folks, but they do absolutely nothing.

Meanwhile, the Gobbos serve as footsoldiers for you, loyal to the tadpole in your brain. They also are just part and parcel better than the druids. Gobbo supremacy.

Lots of XP for clearing out both the Grove & Goblins, but you won't be able to sell your crap.

[DELAMAIN]

Protect grove is only logical way in any rvil or good play and even wheb rp mindflayer loyalist
There is no reason to attack grove

I don't see the point in wiping them all out. There's plenty of opportunity to gain xp without doing so.

A murderer takes every opportunity to make a mess.

An artist makes every mess an opportunity.

To be truly evil you have to gain their trust, lure them in, gain everything you can...and then make the trash vanish.

But every shiny trinket isn't worth your time. You have a craft to master, after all. You need only entertain the innocent until you get what you truly need.

But that is not true. Can you use goblins to take over the Tower? Maybe you can use them to help you in Baldur Gate? Can you even use them to take out spider in the caves? Then where and when, the fact that you joined Goblins will ever play out as big story moment? Again BG3 is not an RPG, it not like in Fallout 2, where when you join one of the mobs family in New Reno, - it opens up quests and interactions specific for this faction for the rest of the game. And its not like Gothic 2, where choice of your faction is literally changing the game so much, that you can count each faction as its own separate game. In BG3 you really need go out your way to work for goblins. Like you need nail several speech checks, or have Illitid Autority off CD multiple times, then you need ignore warning from the prism, when you come near the Goblin camp, then you need to ignore the fact that goblins is looking for the prism - the item which shield you from the Elder Brain. Like i dunno, playing goblins is a meme. It like you are this dog, which jump into water, swim across the ocean, run up 300 floors, into burning skyscraper to heroically bite the toddler.
