I am currently doing the druid grove quest on one of my numerous characters, and have a tiny ethical dilemma. A part of me would like to take the evil plot course, as I have never taken it before, but some other part sort of wants to roleplay, at least a little bit, and really can't think of a reason for a Chaotic Evil takes-what-he-wants-if-he-thinks-he-can-get-away-with-it character to want to side with some insignifigant halfling.
If I poison the grove, the High Merchant of Trademeet, most non-merchant people (farmers, artisans, and so on) and all druids of the Sword Coast will hate me. I gain the favour of some short megalomanic merchant no one's ever heard about. Plus, he's probably just using me and might consider washing his hands from the whole ordeal, claiming he's never met me, and refusing to pay.
If I don't poison the growe, some halfling will hate me. I gain the favour of the High Merchant of Trademeet and the local druids will praise my good deeds. The High Merchant, I would say, is also much less likely to try to cheat me in any way than the hobbit.
Can anyone think of a justification for me to poison the grove? I can't.
