I have to agree; this is really stupid, and it makes following the evil path willingly also a stupid move. There is no point looking for help removing a tadpole from people who are tadpole denialists - evil characters are not always insane, they are generally selfish. Selfish means self-preservation is important, and there's nothing to indicate that siding with the goblins will increase your chances of self-preservation.


Logically, joining the cult should be the fastest way to know where the cult main base is and find out how they control the tadpole.

In practice, you stumbled on a faction of the cult lead by Minthara and she doesn't want competition in her contest to become the Absolute's favorite.
