Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Siding with Kagha—a story dead end?

Okay, so as a Lolth-Sworn Drow, Kagha is scratching me right where I itch, and I declared myself happy to go and offer Zevlor my "help" as a "guide" with the intent to lead his peeps (along with those snotty thieving brats) to the slaughter. Kagha even said they'd pay me handsomely for my "services."

When I went to talk to Zevlor he blathered something about the Blade of the Frontiers (sitting in my camp by then), but when I wanted to suggest that it was time for the tieflings to avail themselves of my "guidance," the only dialogue option was that I'd been "asked to escort them out of the grove," whereupon Zevlor went hostile and, having no choice but to defend myself against his intemperate nature, I murdered him. The tieflings outside the room remained apparently unaware of this development. When I reported the news to Kagha, she said that it should be no problem to get the rest of his people out, as well.

Not so!

Short of butchering the lot of them, which also has the druids go hostile, there's absolutely no way to go ahead with this scheme. So it looks like I'll still be left with the very limited choice of siding with Minthara and seeing the entire grove getting slaughtered (cows and all), or defending it against her. So lame!

It's especially bewildering/frustrating since Kagha's request to offer to lead the tieflings out of the grove seems to suggest that there is a possibility of you leading the tieflings into some kind of ambush—which would probably get you into conflict with Wyll—but that certainly does not pan out.

Am I overlooking something, is there some story option still missing in EA, or did the devs really assume that no one would accept Kagha's proposal? Basically, I'd be thrilled to boot the Tieflings, let her seal the grove, and be on my merry way. Heck, I'll even rub out Halsin if he gets in the way, tadpole be damned—the sumfabitch ends up blackmailing me, anyway. Not possible? This bone-headed limitation has me questioning the wisdom of picking the game up, to be honest.

P.S.: Don't worry about spoilers—I played through the currently available content already, and short of minor stuff, I've seen pretty much all it's got to offer at the moment.
