Result
{{spoilerDAO| {{clear}} {{Note|Several of the options are only available once, if you do not choose certain dialogues when they first come up, you will never get the chance to do so again (PC patch 1.04, might be the same in other versions).}}

Lloyd can participate in the upcoming fight in a variety of ways. {{Note|In order for this option to be available, the Warden must first speak to the leftmostmilitia.}}
 * Lloyd can be persuaded to give free ale to the militia.
 * A coercion skill of 3 is required to persuade him to do this, whereas a coercion skill of 2 is required to intimidate him.


 * Lloyd can be killed outright (cutscene). No loot will be found on his body.
 * If Bella owns the tavern she will agree to give free ale for the militia.
 * If the Warden owns the tavern, he can make Lloyd or Bella server free ale to the militia.
 * {{Note| The Warden must either kill or intimidate Lloyd into giving over ownership of the tavern before convincing him to serve free drinks or that dialog choice will be gone forever.}}

{{Note|this option is only available the first time you ask him about it.}}
 * Lloyd can be convinced to join the militia, although he wields only a dagger and is outclassed even in 1 on 1 combat.
 * If Lloyd joins the militia, he can die in the battle either by enemies or AOE spells.


 * After Lloyd joins the militia Bella will take charge of the tavern (she will also do so after Lloyd is killed and the Warden suggests it). She will 'sell' most of the goods previously owned by Lloyd for 0 {{b}}, in effect giving away most of his stock to The Warden.
 * If Lloyd survives the battle, he will return to running the tavern and Bella will resume waitressing.

The Warden can gain ownership of Lloyd's Tavern. {{Note|The Warden must either kill or intimidate Lloyd into giving over ownership of the tavern before convincing him to serve free drinks or that dialog choice will be gone forever.}} {{Note|if the Warden gains ownership of the Tavern after killing Lloyd, the option to suggest Bella take ownership of the Tavern will be gone}}
 * Lloyd can be intimidated into accepting The Warden as a partner in the tavern, paying 80 {{s}} immediately and another 20 {{s}} when asked for a share of the profits, as well as free access to the items in his store.
 * Lloyd can be killed outright (cutscene). Then, the Warden can speak to Bella and assume ownership of the Tavern.

{{Note|These options are only available the first time you speak to him, if you do not choose to do something with him, you will never get the chance to do so again (PC patch 1.04, might be the same in other versions).}}

He will be in front of the chantry during the battle at Redcliffe Village if you manage to intimidate or persuade him. You have to manually use your healer to heal Lloyd, or focus your entire group towards killing the corpses attacking Lloyd to protect him. Left alone he will die.

Once battle is over, talk to him and he will thank you for your actions that now the people in Redcliff village respects him. He will reward you with: {{:Lloyd's Magic Ring|style=iconmini}} ({{ColorPositiveStat|+2 strength}}, {{ColorNegativeStat|-1 cunning}}){{clrl}}
