They don't expect it; they ask.
And I'm replying: No, I won't risk my life and take down the Goblin camp just by myself. But if half of your able bodied men & women join in, we might *discuss* whether that would make sense - or we should just try to carve a way to Baldur's Gate, which would probably be much more logical
Take a look around the Druid grove... Someone is managing the forge, Someone is managing supplies and provision, someone is doing a large portion of the cooking, someone is taking care of the animals, several people are keep watch for misbehaviour and lawlessness... people are watching the walls, and keeping a look out, and people are helping to train others in self defence if it becomes necessary. When the goblins attacked the grove; people died and others tried to fight and help you.
Were any of the people I just mentioned druids? No, they weren't. The Tieflings are doing their best - they are working hard to give back to the grove, to earn their keep and to repay the sanctuary that Halsin offered them.
Err, they are doing that for themselves, I didn't see anyone giving anything to the Druids? And it was me who rescued 3 people in front of the gate. And it is neither my place to meddle in Druids business nor Tieflings business.
That aside... Doing something that is right, purely because it is something that should be done, and you CAN do it, for the sake of others who CAN'T, yes that is a good act. It doesn't mean you're stupid, and it doesn't make you a 'doormat'.
Well, I can sacrifice my life for random strangers, marching with 4 people into a Goblin camp and trying to take down their leaders. And yes, that is pretty stupid.
