Quotes
"No! I've one job, and one job only, and by the Maker's shiny gold cutlery, I will do it!"

Strategy
There are a couple of ways to get him to ferry you. If you fail at one option, you will always succeed on the other.
 * Persuade - If you have a high Persuade skill, you can ask about his superiors and he will let you in
 * Intimidate - You can try to intimidate him by saying your patience is wearing thin.
 * Also, if you try to work something out with Carroll, he will let you in if you have Sten, Morrigan, Leliana, or Shale in your party. Once you get him to agree to let you pass, you begin the main quest line in the tower.
 * Sten will bribe Carroll with cookies he took off a "fat, slovenly kid in the previous village, for his own good."
 * Morrigan will threaten Carroll with magical decapitation and mutilation.
 * Leliana will..
 * Shale will threaten to crush Carroll's body parts.
