— Mol, bracing up her gang in the hideout

Overview

Map of the Mol's gang base of operations

The Tiefling Hideout is a subterranean cavern hidden under the south-western part of the Hollow. It is occupied by  Mol and her tiefling children gang, who use it as a base to run scams and other exploits.

The party can find the hideout themselves after interacting with various members of Mol's gang, or they can be invited to visit it as a reward for helping or protecting the children.

Getting access

The hideout has two entrances:

• Through the Concealed Hatch at X: 227 Y: 553 in The Hollow, guarded by  Doni
  • The hatch is revealed by succeeding a passive  DC 10 Perception Check while speaking to Doni, followed by passing a  DC 10 Investigation Check.  Rangers and  Rogues have  Advantage on this Investigation check.
  • If  Mirkon is rescued in ⁠Investigate the Beach, he tells the party to speak with Doni and gives them the password which allows them in.
• Through the Rocky Crevice at X: 224 Y: 564 in The Hollow
  •  Silfy flees there after stealing, or being caught while attempting to steal the party's ⁠belongings. The crevice is located on a rocky ledge beneath a wooden ladder and requires a  DC 5 Perception Check to reveal.
  • Only Small or tiny sized party members can fit through the crevice. This can be done by  Gnomes,  Halflings, as well as characters  disguised as such or  reduced. Characters who are  shapeshifted into creatures of appropriate size and summons can also fit through.

Interactions

To explore the hideout without consequences, the party must first earn Mol's favor. This can be done by helping out members of her children gang, or by protecting them from other characters, like  Kagha or  Barth. On the opposite, allowing others to abuse the kids or leaving them in danger makes Mol angry with the party.

Entering the hideout without doing anything to befriend Mol causes her to demand the party leave in "a tencount". She begins to count audibly. If the party members do not leave in time, Mol runs away. After leaving the hideout, the party members are accosted by the guards outside, for 'threatening children'; the interacting party member must then pass a  DC 20 Deception Check or be sent to prison.

If having earned Mol's approval, the party can trade with her and can also start the quest ⁠Steal the Sacred Idol. They can also show interest in her enterprise and offer an investment of 20 gold to found a Thieves' Guild when the tieflings reach Baldur's Gate. This grants the inspiration ⁠Paying It Forward to party members with the  Urchin background.

In the hideout the party can find items stolen from their inventory during ⁠Find Your Belongings. Possible peaceful options to get these items back if talking to Mol are listed on her personal page. The party can also try and steal their belongings back from the gang's stash at X: 94 Y: 74 in the hideout. Doing this without making enemies of Mol and her fellows earns the inspiration ⁠Show Them How It's Done to party members with the  Criminal background.

Also  Barth's stolen  Brass Locket can be found here in a chest. It can be given back to him.

At X: 52 Y: 59 a rift over the underground stream can be jumped over by any character with at least 15  Strength, or crossed by means of spatial movement like  Misty Step or  Grant Flight.  Druid characters may also use  Wild Shape: Badger to  Burrow to the other side. A Wicker Chest on the other side of the chasm contains gold and random alchemical ingredients. It is free to loot, even if the tiefling children are still present in the hideout.
