Im my current game I am a fighter about to do the Trademeet quest. After you talk to Logan for the first time and leave his home a halfling noble claims to be the future leader of Trademeet and askes you to poison the grove, I haven't seen him before and so don't know what he does and I cheked the walk-thoroughs and it is not mentioned can anyone confirm what happens if you agree to his quest.
And which is more profitable Bodhi or the Shadow thieves

trademeet - you can't poison it if you have minsc or cernd with you, but if you do, when you come back, everyoen hates you. it is simply the evil route to take.

Bodhi is more profitable, and more easy, IMO...

Bhodi is also EVIL. If that suits your protagonist, that is fine, but I always take the shadow thieves. The shadow thieves aren't "good" by any stretch of the imagination, but helping vampires infiltrate a city in unadultrated *evil* (and I do not say that about many things). Also, if you side with Bhodi and Keldorn is with the party, Keldorn goes hostile.

I wouldn't necessarily define poisoning the druidic grove as "the evil route to take." Certainly, it's an evil act, but I prefer thinking of it as the sociopathic route to take.

It's self-destructive, whereas evil is often self-aggrandizing. The best evil types choose their actions carefully, helping where it will further their cause, and taking whatever they can when they can get away with it.

I remember Brenda Garno (whose working on the latest Wizardry) one writing long ago that good characters help little old ladies across the street. Neutral ones do it if they feel like it. Evil characters help old ladies across the street, too--for a price.

It's all how you play the thing.

typicaly i would say that good characters do good things no matter what neutral characters do either good or evil just anythign to get the most money/items out of it and evil just do evil for the fun of it personaly i think that evil is more of neutral and then there is PURE EVIL where they dont care what they get they just want destrction and devay 1 time i played a PURE EVIL character i ended up having alot of towns all hostile and dead hehe i think of evil characters as good

Poisoning the grove will make you end up with the same item as otherwise, you wont get any reputation however, but merchants will sell to you. Also, you will miss out on one minor quest that gives nothing, and i think the statue in the middle of town changes if you do it the "good" way
