Wounded in the Forest

Wounded in the Forest is a side quest found in the West Brecilian Forest.

Background
Deygan, an elven hunter, is found wounded in the forest. The Warden must decide what to do.

Walkthrough
In the West Brecilian Forest, just past the first encounter with Swiftrunner, past the waterfall, and slightly to the South, the Warden can find a wounded elven hunter, Deygan. After sputtering a few blood soaked words, he collapses and the Warden is presented with several options:
 * Return to the Dalish Camp with Deygan, thus saving his life and earning a rare slice of gratitude from the elves.
 * Wake him back up and talk to him
 * Wake him back up and kill him
 * Loot his body (then take him back to the camp, or kill him)

Choosing to return Deygan to the Dalish Camp triggers a cut scene where the party meets a patrol lead by Mithra. She will take Deygan from there, and the party is returned at the start of the West Brecilian Forest.

Result
If the Warden loots Deygan while he is unconscious:


 * A small bone figurine (see below)

If Deygan is saved, he can later be found back in the camp near Athras. If the Warden did not loot his gear, Deygan will offer a Sapphire as a reward. If the Warden did loot Deygan's gear, he will instead ask if the Warden found a small bone figurine next to his body, back in the Forest. The Warden may answer: The first option leads the Warden to return the statuette, and Deygan to offer a sapphire and a small amount of experience as rewards. The second option leads Deygan to say "Ah, what a shame" and run away.
 * 1) I did, actually
 * 2) (Persuade) No, I didn't. Sorry.

Wynne and Leliana will gain approval if you choose to return the hunter to the Dalish Camp. If Morrigan is also in your party the two will engage in some religious banter but Morrigan will not lose any approval.

Shale will remark upon him not being infected when you try to kill him, and asks if there is no way of healing him. If you kill him anyway, she will disapprove (-3).

Note: if you haven't saved Deygan after beating Nature of the Beast and returning to the Forest, you'll find a skeleton in his place. You can loot Studded Leather Boots from it.
