Griffon Wing Keep Conversation
Rylen: You're early! We've barely been set up a week. I have a patrol out at the moment. Some of the men sighted darkspawn in the area.
If the ritual tower has not been cleared of bandits:
Rylen: I have reports that bandits have taken up squatting in the fortress the Wardens abandoned.
If the ritual tower has been cleared of bandits:
Rylen: The Venatori have retreated, but scouts haven't pinpointed where they've gone yet.
If the well has not been cleared:
Rylen: We're reasonably well entrenched here, but the keep's water supply has been… problematic. It's causing delays. I'll prepare the troops for inspection at once.
General: What’s this about bandits? [1]
General: Tell me about the darkspawn. [2]
General: Problem with the water supply? [3]
Investigate: Tell me about yourself. [4]
Investigate: Give me a status report. [5]
1 - General: What’s this about bandits?
PC: Report. What's the situation in the Wardens' fortress?
Rylen: Bandits moved in. Worse than quillbacks, if you ask me. They're holed up in there and using it as a base to strike at our supply caravans. Blasted scavengers.
[Return to dialogue tree.]
2 - General: Tell me about the darkspawn.
PC: What can you tell me about the darkspawn in the area?
Rylen: The darkspawn seem to have emerged since we took the keep. I've warned the troops not to engage unless absolutely necessary. We don't need a blight in the ranks. We have to find whatever hole the monsters came from and seal it.
[Return to dialogue tree.]
3 - General: Problem with the water supply?
PC: What's wrong with the water supply?
Rylen: The fort's well is full of garbage. Blasted Venatori threw corpses in there. There's an oasis nearby, but a varghest claimed it. Doing a decent job of keeping us away, too. Four soldiers have already fallen to venom and claws. We'll need reinforcements to drive the monster out.
[Return to dialogue tree.]
4 - Investigate: Tell me about yourself.
PC: We haven't met, have we? What's your name, soldier? Where have you served?
Rylen: I beg your pardon, Inquisitor. Knight-Captain Rylen at your service. I served with the templars in Starkhaven until they all ran off to the hills, barking at the moon. Commander Cullen offered me a job, and I was glad to do anything to help stop all this madness.
Investigate: What are your duties? [7]
Investigate: How do you know Cullen? [8]
Investigate: You didn’t leave the Chantry? [9]
Investigate: Do you like your current job? [10]
[Return to main dialogue tree.]
7 - Investigate: What are your duties?
PC: What are your duties here, Captain?
Rylen: I am Commander Cullen's second-in-command. As such, I handle logistics for many of our more high-risk missions. I also coordinate reports for the commander from agents out in the field.
[Return to previous tree.]
8 - Investigate: How do you know Cullen?
PC: If you were in Starkhaven, how do you know Cullen?
Rylen: After Kirkwall… exploded… Starkhaven sent aid. Rubble fell on much of the city. A lot of people were homeless or trapped in collapsed buildings. I coordinated rescue efforts and met Cullen while he was trying to command what was left of Kirkwall's templars.
[Return to previous tree.]
9 - Investigate: You didn’t leave the Chantry?
PC: You didn't want to leave the Chantry with the others of your Order?
Rylen: Sacred duties are all well and good, but someone needs to do real work now and then. If the barracks are on fire, I'm going for water, not standing around smiting the ash for heresy. Ah… respectfully speaking, of course, Inquisitor.
[Return to previous tree.]
10 - Investigate: Do you like your current job?
PC: How is the Inquisition treating you so far, Captain?
Rylen: It's good work. Some of it's a touch batty, but I'm always glad to be doing something useful, Inquisitor. There's no shortage of things that need repaired, shored up, or just a good bucket of water dumped on them.
[Return to previous tree.]
5 - Investigate: Give me a status report.
PC: Report, Captain. What's the situation in the Western Approach?
After Here Lies the Abyss:
Rylen: It's been eerily quiet since the Wardens left. Now I'm just waiting like a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. We've already had an Archdemon. I don't want to guess what'll come next.
After Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts:
Rylen: Compared to what you must have seen in the Winter Palace, this place is calm. All we've got are man-eating giant lizards, lunatics, monsters, and a giant hole full of darkspawn. At least nobody's asked us to dance with them.
After defeating the Abyssal High Dragon:
Rylen: We're all breathing a little easier with that dragon gone. I wouldn't want to be up on the ramparts when a monster like her appeared, that's for sure.
After destroying the red lyrium at the Sand Rock Mine
Rylen: I've had scouts investigate that red lyrium operation you smashed. I don't think anyone's getting into that cave any time soon.
After clearing out the Venatori:
Rylen: The last vestiges of the Venatori are on the run, Inquisitor. We've had a few skirmishes with the stragglers. Nothing serious.
Post-game:
Rylen: The men celebrated for three solid days when you sealed the Breach, Inquisitor. We haven't seen much happening out here since then, and I am not complaining.
No other available response:
Rylen: Business as usual, Inquisitor. Sandstorms, deadly wildlife, people other than us mad enough to come out here. If anything noteworthy happens, you'll know.
[Return to dialogue tree.]
6 - General: That’s all.
PC: Carry on, Captain.
Rylen: Yes, Inquisitor.
