Involvement

Act One

Rua is one of the goblins who raids the Emerald Grove during the quest ⁠Raid the Emerald Grove. If  Minthara learns of the Grove's location such as through the party,  Liam's interrogation, or  Sazza, she launches an attack on the sanctuary. Rua does not appear in the Goblin Camp and is only encountered during this raid. If the raid is successful, Rua humorously recalls murdering the children with  Sneem, claiming that they split a child in half.
