“I am the person appointed to stop all unauthorized access to the Circle Tower. Meaning you. Because you're unauthorized.”


Carroll is a templar whose mind has largely been eroded by use of lyrium. During the events of the Broken Circle, he has been set the task of guarding the ferry to the Circle Tower in Lake Calenhad Docks by Knight-Commander Greagoir.

Involvement

This section contains spoilers for:
Dragon Age: Origins.

Upon arriving, the Warden needs to convince him to ferry them to the Circle Tower, which can happen in multiple ways:

  • Choosing, "Your superior won't like that you've given me trouble," will succeed if you have three points in Coercion or enough Cunning instead.
  • Choosing, "I warn you, my patience is wearing thin," will succeed if you have one point in Coercion or Cunning's level to be 20 or more.
Note: Choosing either of these coercion-based options and failing will then cause the other option to automatically succeed, should you select it.
  • Selecting, "Can't we work something out?" will result in success if either Sten, Morrigan or Leliana is in the party. If none of them is present, the Warden may successfully bribe Carroll with 40Gold.
  • If Shale is in the party, it will lose patience with Carroll early in the conversation, causing Carroll to ferry the party across without any further discussion needed.


Quotes

  • "No! I've one job, and one job only, and by the Maker's shiny gold cutlery, I will do it!"
  • "Oh, a Grey Warden treaty! So you're supposed to be one of those. Well, I've got some papers too! They say I'm the Queen of Antiva! What do you have to say to that?"
───────
  • Shale: "All right, that's enough. Let me just crush a few bodyparts it can't possibly miss.
  • Carroll: I'll take you right now... just like you wanted."
───────
  • Carroll: "Hmm... I don't know. Y'know, I am feeling a little peckish, though."
  • Sten: "Parshaara! Here! Munch on these if you like."
  • Carroll: "Ooh, cookies!"
  • Sten: "I am content to part with them if it saves us from this fool."
  • Warden: "Where'd you get those?"
  • Sten: "There was a child-- a fat, slovenly thing-- in the last village we passed. I relieved him of these confections. He didn't need more."
  • Warden: "You stole cookies from a child?"
  • Sten: "For his own good."
  • Carroll: "Mmm, yummy. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours, yes? We can go across to the tower now, if you really want.
───────
  • Carroll: "That dark-eyed temptress over there... Surely the tower would be far too dull for her. Because it gets a little lonely out here sometimes and you know, you could leave her with me--"
  • Morrigan: "Oh. Excellent. I have been hoping for new prey."
  • Carroll: Prey?
  • Morrigan: 'Twill take but a moment. Perhaps you should go aboard the vessel to prepare while we are away. We must row ourselves across, I fear the lad will no longer have use of his limbs... or his eyes, once I am done with him.
  • Carroll: Er... maybe I should--
  • Morrigan: Wonderful! I can sense his terror! Oh, that will make the loving all the sweeter.
  • Carroll: So you said you wanted to get across? Maybe we should go now. Right now. NOW.
───────
  • Carroll: "That redhead there at the back... she doesn't need to go to the tower, does she? Because it gets a little lonely out here sometimes and you know, you could leave her with me--"
  • Leliana: "What? Er... no. I'm sorry, I'm... a poetess! And I am not interested in anything you have to offer."
  • Carroll: "I've never met a poetess... The other men sometimes tell stories about them... when the knight-commander isn't around, of course. He doesn't abide that sort of talk..."
  • Leliana: "Pha. The stories sheltered templars tell will pale in comparison to mine. Would you like to hear my tales of debauchery and excess?"
  • Carroll: "Y-yes... please?
  • Leliana: "I'm sure we could talk on that long, dull boat ride across the lake, yes?"
  • Carroll: "Er... yes, definitely? Are we going now?"
───────
  • "Well, maybe... if you had forty sovereigns you're willing to part with... I know a girl in Wutherford and she'll only agree to see me if--er, never mind."

Trivia

  • During the Precious Metals side quest, if you ask Godwin about why he needs so much lyrium, he will state that a number of the templars in the Circle Tower are developing side effects from lyrium addiction, and will mention Carroll specifically as an example.
  • Carroll is likely the first person players will meet that uses the phrase "Queen of Antiva". The phrase is subsequently used by various other characters to denote something implausible or ridiculous.
