It does feel weird that the kid will die if we dont intervene. And I concur that we dont have many options here either. Grabbing the snake for example could be an option that results in the player beeing bitten but would allow the kid to run (for example). It might anger Kagha but that seems to be her natural state anyway so...what would change? XD
Can confirm though that you CAN save the kid with a passed test but it feels off somehow. I mean, druids acting like this is already weird unless shes a shadow druid (havent finished it yet so just guessing) in which case its kinda weird that the ones around here havent caught on either...
