Changes: Carroll

Revision as of 00:26, 28 February 2010

"Kill some darkspawn. Come on. Let's see some righteous Grey Wardening."

Carroll is the new ferryman of the ferry to the Circle Tower. He is a templar appointed by Knight-Commander Greagoir and can be quite stubborn about who gets across. The Warden needs to get past him to start/continue the Broken Circle quest.

Strategy

This section contains spoilers for:
Dragon Age: Origins.

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 Broken Circle 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 offer to tell Carroll racy tales about her life as a bard during the boat ride to the Tower.
- Shale will threaten to crush Carroll's body parts, including a few that "it can't possibly miss."

Quotes

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

Carroll:"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?"
Warden:"Aren't queens female?"
Carroll:"Don't question royalty!"

Trivia

During the Precious Metals side quest, if you ask Godwin about why he needs so much lyrium, he will mention that a number of the Templars in the Tower are developing side effects from lyrium addiction and will mention Carroll specifically as an example.
