Unfortunately you waited too long to undertake the Escort Duty quest. There are only 2 ways to get a Gold Idol now : Wait for your second playthrough (after you fight the Seneschal) or if someone gifts it to you.

But everyone needlessly freaks out about getting the Gold Idol. The weapons in the Everfall chests and Bitterblack Isle far outclass anything you can buy at Caxton or Madeliene's shop. Don't sweat it. Just keep playing.
