After this encounter, you will have another random encounter when traveling on the Denerim City Map where a Guard and nineteen Soldiers recognize you as a thief who wiped out the previous patrol and attack.
- If you fail to successfully steal in the Circle Tower, the random encounter Narrow Road might take place.
- If you fail to successfully steal in the Dalish Camp, the random encounter Wooded Hills might take place.
