This is the problem I have with Faldorn as well - it makes me cater my game to her. Even Valen's Vampire Slayers & Sola's Eclipse Encounter are, technically, beatable with any party. Faldorn requires taking a Druid through the entire game & practically requires having Throne of Bhaal installed - I managed to beat Faldorn with a single-classed Druid using Sunnis, a Deva, Greater Earth Elemental Transformation (all ToB abilities) & every buff/potion under the sun.

There's needs to be an alternative - maybe even one that doesn't result in defeating Faldorn but still saves Trademeet - so the story can continue. Good parties don't get the chance to poison the Grove, after all.
