Volo (as mentioned previously) will promise to tell everyone of your evil deeds (idr if he leaves afterwards, he might)
In my playthrough he was just there in his normal place the next night saying “Hello, my friend” as though nothing had happened. Though that didn’t seem to make a lot of sense, so perhaps will change.
Halsin of course will either be dead or try to kill you after the party
Really?! I’d freed Halsin and the journal said he’d not be happy with me but I never saw him again. But I never went back to the grove or goblin camp and as I’d already done everything else before the raid including the Underdark and Grymforge, I didn’t spend much longer in that game. Is there somewhere specific you need to go to encounter Halsin again?
Ah yes, if you save Sazza then the little blabbermouth will spill the location and basically force you into the raid path and you lose out on so much dialogue because of it. Part of a reason why I leave her in the cage at the grove ^^
I love Sazza, but rescuing her is kinda
the 'big' sidequest for the goblin camp and completing it jumpstarts the grove siege, likely causing you to lose out on a lot of the rest of the content in the goblin camp.
It’s so interesting that we have all these different experiences of the game. In almost every playthrough except my last, I saved Sazza, followed her into the sanctum, eventually caught up with her by Minthara and then killed Minthara before she or the nearby goblins could alert the rest of the camp. I could rescue Halsin and do whatever else I wanted in the goblin camp before or after speaking with Sazza and Minthara, though I don’t think I ever tried to kill Ragzlin before speaking to Minthara so that may have changed things.
Once I was too slow and one of Minthara’s goblins banged the drum near her and turned all the goblins hostile but otherwise saving Sazza didn’t prevent me from accessing any goblin camp content, except clearly some dialogue with Minthara which is a pity. In a previous patch, Sazza even helped me fight Minthara if she was otherwise going to get chucked to the spiders, which I particularly enjoyed, but that seems to have changed in patch 8.
