Thanks for the reply - lots more food for thought.
As an aside, I *think* the Idol of Silvanus theft has changed. But while in patch 8 I managed to steal the idol during the ritual unseen and start sneaking away, the druids shouted about the idol having been stolen and started killing the tieflings, and though I was still hidden and not involved in the fight that just meant tieflings died all the quicker in real time and I gave up and reloaded in disgust. I did manage to successfully steal the idol after convincing Kagha to stop the ritual for the first time though, or rather I was challenged though I wasn’t sure why but talked my way out of it and the tieflings weren’t blamed. But that’s far less satisfying from a roleplay perspective as it removes stopping the ritual as a rationale for the theft.
