Landry

Ser Landry is a knight in the Denerim Market District involved in the quest Honor Bound.

Background
Ser Landry is a knight who served with Teyrn Loghain's forces at the battle of Ostagar. He is particularly fond of chivalry and embraces chivalric traditions such as honor, duty to his lord and dueling. When encountered, he claims to have been a close friend of King Cailan's and holds a grudge against the Grey Wardens, from whom he demands "satisfaction!"

Involvement
{{DAOSpoiler|

Ser Landry will recognize that The Warden, is indeed, a Grey Warden, as he participated in the battle of Ostagar with Teyrn Loghain's forces. He accuses the Grey Wardens of being traitors. The Warden can lie, or use persuasion or intimidation on Landry to avoid the duel. If both fail, he will challenge The Warden to a duel in the back alley. If The Warden refuses and walks away, Landry will ambush The Warden during a random encounter in Denerim.

If The Warden agrees to duel Landry, he will run around the corner into an alley where his foot soldiers are waiting. The Warden can duel him one on one, or order his party to attack Landry and his men. Once he has been defeated, an Engraved Mace can be retrieved from his body. Agreeing to his fight the first time yields 1 point of approval with Oghren.

Strategy
This fight can be won easily if any mages with Prison are in the party, as he can be kept still while damage is applied.

If the Warden attacks Ser Landry with the entire party, Landry yells "Coward" right before engaging, and all three of his guards can be killed and looted too.

If the Warden agrees to a duel the loot he drops does not change, and the guards do not engage, ending in less potential loot and less XP. }}

On the PC, V1.03, the optimal route to ensure most kills/xp out of this encounter is NOT to accept his duel, and choosing the dialogue options WITHOUT (Persuade) or (Intimidate) options. Just deny his challenge and walk away. You will eventually face Ser Landry with FOUR (4) henchmen in a random encounter travelling within Denerim intra-city locations (even if you were to attack him with your full party outside Wonders of Thedas, at most you will face him and 3 henchmen). Note : If you face Ser Landry this way, he appears to spawn equipped with a SCALED armoured set of what he was wearing (while testing this with a Level 25 Main Character, Ser Landry's armour appeared magenta - Dragonbone). Since his usual set is bright silver, it's not very hard to take notice of this.

Quotes

 * "I demand satisfaction!"

Note: If the player engages in the duel but then runs towards the market area, Ser Landry tells the player that he will not have the duel spilling over into the market place. He then says, "This is not over," but proceeds to run away through the entrance to the elven alienage.

Note: There is a scripting comment that can be viewed if his dialog file is opened in the toolset that says convincing Ser Landry that Wardens would never side with darkspawn should result in a "good xp bonus" that is "at least equal the XP for killing him in a duel". This was never implemented however. So unfortunately the only way to gain xp from this encounter is to kill him.

Note: if the warden refuses to fight him, Ser Landry will appear as a random encounter on the city map. After telling the warden he will use dishonorable means against dishonorable people he immediately attacks. He is assisted by seconds, making the fight more difficult but more rewarding.
