I agree, even if a character doesn't wanto to choose the evil path I feel like it needs a little better motivation. Kill all the druids because the absolute says so technically works, but it feels hollow.
Even kill all the druid because they are delicious would be better, I feel like the enemy needs a more relatable motivation.
The absolute could still be involved, with promises of wealth and power, or by framing the druids as "the real bad guys, not us" but something a little more convincing.
