What to do before raiding the Grove?

[Marcus]

Going to raid the grove, what should I do before doing to maximaze my exp, like killing kagha simply ends the raiding quest or should I go for it?

Shall I take the steal the idol quest from Mol or does it also ends the raiding quest?

Are there any characters which I can assasianate quitly and get some xp?

Any suggestions?

The only way to abort the raid is to kill the goblin leaders. Any quests in the Grove left unfinished can still be done before the next long rest - at which point the raid starts.

Thanks a lot, so I can simply kill Kagha, steal the idol and then raid? Btw I have not yet gone to the goblin camp and taken the raiding quest, will it still be avaible?

Yes, you can kill Kagha and steal the idol first.

The quest to raid will always be available so long as Minthara and Dror aren't dead. Gut doesn't matter and she can be killed, just make sure you get her alone in her room first or you'll turn the whole camp hostile. Dror needs to be alive because if he's not then the whole camp turns permanently hostile if you get into a fight with him - there's no way to circumvent this by killing him. Best to just ignore him entirely. Minthara is the one who gives you the quest and the only goblin leader you need to talk to for the raid.

Thank you for your time that answer is really helpful

I typically start by saying goodbye to:

Halsin and his big Act II quest
Karlach and her gamelong arc
Wyll and his gamelong arc
Gale (if you fail the roll to keep him) and his gamelong arc
All the tieflings including multiple quests in Act III
All the druids
Two storekeepers

...because all of those things will be gone if you sack the grove.

Gale's reaction to the raid feels so real. I love it. It's worth doing at least once just to see the amazing character writing.

I have already played the good story so want to try evil one. All those risks are approved.

And I have read that you can keep karlach and wyll by killing them in camp and ressurrect after the raid, gonna try that too
