#keeper marethari

okay folks, what do we think that debt was? I loaded a save with a Dalish Warden but I don't think this dialogue is affected by that.a

And if you ask Marethari what the amulet is, she tells you this:

Part 3B: Important NPCs (Keeper Marethari)

Keeper: I see you have not left with Merrill yet. Is there something you need?

Dialogue Tree:

Note: each branch of the tree is only available once.

(if Fenarel is in party) I want to bring Fenarel with us to the cave. [1]

I have questions about this Grey Warden. [2]

I am curious about these darkspawn you mentioned. [3]

I need more equipment before I go. [4]

No, I should go. [End conversation]

1 – I want to bring Fenarel with us to the cave.

Keeper: Fenarel, are you certain? I am already putting Merrill at risk; I don't want to lose you too. Fenarel: I want to help, Keeper. If we can find Tamlen, it's worth the risk. Keeper: Very well, then. You have my permission. And thank you for asking for it. [End conversation]

2 – I have questions about this Grey Warden.

Keeper: When Tamlen's life is at stake? Oh, very well. Dialogue Options: - I thought the Grey Wardens had disappeared. [5] - Why did you believe anything this shemlen said? [6] - How did he know where to bring me? [7] - Are these Wardens great warriors? [8] - I have no more questions about the Grey Warden, Keeper. [9]

3 – I am curious about these darkspawn you mentioned.

Keeper: Remember that Tamlen needs your help. Dialogue Options: - Didn't the Grey Wardens destroy the darkspawn long ago? [10] - You think this cave was a darkspawn lair? [11] - Why did the Grey Warden think I had met a darkspawn? [12] - What is a darkspawn, exactly? I've never seen one before. [13] - Could that bear-like monster have been a darkspawn? [14] - I have no more questions about the darkspawn, Keeper. [9]

4 - I need more equipment before I go.

Keeper: Master Ilen can help you. Go to him and ask to see his stock. [Return to Dialogue Tree]

5 – I thought the Grey Wardens had disappeared.

Keeper: Not quite, da'len. After they defeated the darkspawn long ago, the Grey Wardens' numbers diminished greatly over the centuries. Keeper: It seems the humans have little use for them if darkspawn aren't actively razing their lands. I suppose the thought of darkspawn returning one day did not occur to them. Dialogue Options: - And have they returned? [15] - Why did you believe anything this shemlen said? [6] - How did he know where to bring me? [7] - Are these Wardens great warriors? [8] - I have no more questions about the Grey Warden, Keeper. [9]

6 – Why did you believe anything this shemlen said?

Keeper: He seemed honorable, and his care for your safety speaks well of him. I trust my judgment. Dialogue Options: - I thought the Grey Wardens had disappeared. [5] - How did he know where to bring me? [7] - Are these Wardens great warriors? [8] - I have no more questions about the Grey Warden, Keeper. [9]

7 – How did he know where to bring me?

Keeper: He said he had been looking for our clan and had a hint of our whereabouts. As I said, you were fortunate. Keeper: It is possible he sought a volunteer to join their order. Dialogue Options: - Dalish have joined these Grey Wardens before? [17] - I thought the Grey Wardens had disappeared. [5] - Why did you believe anything this shemlen said? [6] - Are these Wardens great warriors? [8] - I have no more questions about the Grey Warden, Keeper. [9]

8 - Are these Wardens great warriors?

Keeper: They are the best and most noble of all races, da'len. Few can achieve their standards. Dialogue Options: - I thought the Grey Wardens had disappeared. [5] - Why did you believe anything this shemlen said? [6] - How did he know where to bring me? [7] - I have no more questions about the Grey Warden, Keeper. [9]

9 – No more questions.

Keeper: Then do not tarry. Find Tamlen, quickly. [End conversation]

10 - Didn't the Grey Wardens destroy the darkspawn long ago?

Keeper: They destroyed the last horde of darkspawn to threaten the surface, centuries ago. It doesn't mean they extinguished them all. Dialogue Options: - You think this cave was a darkspawn lair? [11] - Why did the Grey Warden think I had met a darkspawn? [12] - What is a darkspawn, exactly? I've never seen one before. [13] - Could that bear-like monster have been a darkspawn? [14] - I have no more questions about the darkspawn, Keeper. [9]

11 – You think this cave was a darkspawn lair?

Keeper: Darkspawn are savage, uncultured creatures. More akin to locusts, than men. They may have befouled the cave, but they did not build what is there. Keeper: From the Warden's description, it may have been a temple devoted to an old god. Should we return, I may see it for myself. Dialogue Options: - Didn't the Grey Wardens destroy the darkspawn long ago? [10] - Why did the Grey Warden think I had met a darkspawn? [12] - What is a darkspawn, exactly? I've never seen one before. [13] - Could that bear-like monster have been a darkspawn? [14] - I have no more questions about the darkspawn, Keeper. [9]

12 – Why did the Grey Warden think I had met a darkspawn?

Keeper: Darkspawn are filthy, diseased beasts that taint the very air around them. The Grey Warden seemed to think your illness came from this taint. Keeper: Since you did not meet any darkspawn, I don't see how that could be. No doubt, he was mistaken. Dialogue Options: - Didn't the Grey Wardens destroy the darkspawn long ago? [10] - You think this cave was a darkspawn lair? [11] - What is a darkspawn, exactly? I've never seen one before. [13] - Could that bear-like monster have been a darkspawn? [14] - I have no more questions about the darkspawn, Keeper. [9]

13 – What is a darkspawn, exactly? I've never seen one before.

Keeper: They are mostly boogeymen, used to frighten human children. In modern times, they are rarely seen on surface lands. Keeper: But rumor holds that great numbers dwell in the ancient tunnels of the durgen'len-- the dwarves. They obliterate all that is in their path. Keeper: Like a plague of locusts, they spread disease and misery when they come to the surface. An event to be feared, without doubt. Dialogue Options: - Didn't the Grey Wardens destroy the darkspawn long ago? [10] - You think this cave was a darkspawn lair? [11] - Why did the Grey Warden think I had met a darkspawn? [12] - Could that bear-like monster have been a darkspawn? [14] - I have no more questions about the darkspawn, Keeper. [9]

14 – Could that bear-like monster have been a darkspawn?

Keeper: Hmm. The old tomes say darkspawn come in as many varieties as surface creatures. Keeper: They also say that many darkspawn are seen only during what the humans call a "Blight". Perhaps your bear monster was one of those. Dialogue Options: - Didn't the Grey Wardens destroy the darkspawn long ago? [10] - You think this cave was a darkspawn lair? [11] - Why did the Grey Warden think I had met a darkspawn? [12] - What is a darkspawn, exactly? I've never seen one before. [13] - I have no more questions about the darkspawn, Keeper. [9]

15 – And have they returned?

Keeper: The Grey Warden thinks so. A war may be in the offing. If so, we must get as far away from it as possible. Dialogue Options: - Could we not help in the battle? [16] - Why did you believe anything this shemlen said? [6] - How did he know where to bring me? [7] - Are these Wardens great warriors? [8] - I have no more questions about the Grey Warden, Keeper. [9]

16 – Could we not help in the battle?

Keeper: Let the humans fight their battles, as we must fight our own. Dialogue Options: - Why did you believe anything this shemlen said? [6] - How did he know where to bring me? [7] - Are these Wardens great warriors? [8] - I have no more questions about the Grey Warden, Keeper. [9]

17 – Dalish have joined these Grey Wardens before?

Keeper: Indeed. The Grey Wardens once consisted of the best from all races. I know of no Dalish joining them since the days of the darkspawn wars, however. Dialogue Options: - What if he asks for one now? [18] - I thought the Grey Wardens had disappeared. [5] - Why did you believe anything this shemlen said? [6] - Are these Wardens great warriors? [8] - I have no more questions about the Grey Warden, Keeper. [9]

18 – What if he asks for one now?

if the PC has the Wanderer flag: Keeper: Always eager to wander, hmm? Joining the Grey Wardens would be a great honor. But he has not asked. Otherwise: Keeper: It would be a great honor, though I don't know why any Dalish would choose such a life. Regardless, he has not asked. Conversation continues. Dialogue Options: - I thought the Grey Wardens had disappeared. [5] - Why did you believe anything this shemlen said? [6] - Are these Wardens great warriors? [8] - I have no more questions about the Grey Warden, Keeper. [9]
