Origin Story 5: Elf Warrior (Dalish Elf)
Default Male Name: Theron
Default Female Name: Lyna
You discover three humans lurking in the underbrush, and you and your companion confront them. The decision as
to what to do with them appears to be up to you - I chose to act with mercy but YMMV!
In sparing them the humans seem grateful, and tell you about a cave that they found nearby - a cave that has
interesting drawings. You demand proof and the human turns over a stone with carved Elvish writing - an artifact
that stuns you.
The human tells you of a demon that chased them away from the cave and then gives you directions to it, and then
you have to decide their fate. I let them go, but again, YMMV. After they run off, you decide to explore this cave, so
head for the white arrow on the radar map now!
Ahead up the path you encounter a pack of wolves - and kill them. At least they were not giant rats or giant spiders,
right?
Ahead of you is a chest that you cannot open, and behind it a stump that contains a Codex entry. Once you grab
that, continue along the path to the cave - grab the two elfroot from the plants and the velum from the rubble on the
way.
The Cave
You are supposed to be familiar with the area and yet you have never seen this cave before. As you enter, Tamlen
comments that the ruins look more human than Elven, but then again if they are old enough they could date back to
the era when Elves were the dominant social culture on the planet, right?
There is a cocoon ahead on the right, and when you examine it Tamlen has another chat with you, in which you
speculate on the nature of the cave itself. Okay, remember when we fought the wolves and I said - at least it wasn't
giant spiders? Right, well, yeah it is.
Explore the areas you move through carefully - in this chamber there is a body you can loot, and a chest you cannot
open. The two spiders also have items worth looting, so do that before you move on through the nearby door, and
encounter your next group of spiders.
I took the right side hallway at the split - and mind you there are traps laid in these passages so mind them if you
can. The hallways are not a big circle, and there are chambers off of them, so doing the loop in one direction to take
out the threats and then the other so you eliminate them in one go is an idea.
At the back of the right side hallway is a statue of a creator, and Ramlen speculates that these ruins date back to that
ancient time. The left hand hall leads to a large chamber and eventually also reaches the statue mentioned earlier - if
you can pick the lock on the door in the rear - which I could not.
The metal doors on the sides link the two halls, so if you went left to clear out the spiders there, just cut through the
middle to get back to the statue and continue past it through the door there.
Moving close to the door in the back triggers a poison trap and a pair of undead guards, and once you have dealt
with them and opened the door you encounter the demon that the humans must have been referring to - a large
monster called a Bereskarn - and while it is ferocious it cannot be a major demon, probably just a demon's pet
demon :)
