master!
Check your pack - you should have some Double-Baked Mabari Crunch in the Useable Items section - that is a treat
for your dog, and while you cannot give it to him now, remember it is there for later :)
Entering Lothering
Turn around and move back to the boulders behind you and loot the deathroot before you continue on, and do you
see that elfroot plant ahead on the left? Loot that too, and then continue to the end of the road where you are once
again presented with the World Map selection. This time though, you simply continue your journey rather than
select a destination.
When you arrive outside of Lothering you are confronted by a group of bandits who have set themselves up as
unofficial toll collectors on the road leading into the village. As you approach, their leader makes it clear that they
expect to either collect a toll or outright rob you - he does not care which.
You have the option of trying to solve this via conversation, or a more direct approach - through killing them. You
will probably end up killing them anyway, but go ahead and explore some of the chat options because some of the
responses you get are rather funny - especially when his less than bright cohort provides the responses.
Whether you decide to kill them outright or do the right thing and turn them over to the Templar Knights the
confrontation still results in a battle to the death as far as I could tell, so you may as well enjoy it - and besides some
of the items that you loot from their corpses trigger small quests - so make sure that you read the quest entries in the
Codex once you are finished looting them.
Head down the stairs nearby to get a CS in which Morrigan gives Alistair a hard time, and then he brings up the
subject of what the plan is and where you intend to go. Clearly Alistair has some thoughts on the matter, so go
ahead and hear him out.
First he covers the treaties - the Elves, the Dwarves and the Arl Eamon - and suggests that Arl Eamon may be a good
first destination. Getting in touch with the other Grey Wardens is not really an option, and Morrigan thinks you
should ignore the rest of the options and go after Loghain straight away!
Finally you conclude that you need to find these people from the treaties, and Alistair offers to give you directions -
which you should go ahead and let him do because it adds markers to the map for you.
Arl Eamon will be at Castle Redcliffe to the far West.
The Dalish Elves will be to the East towards the Brecillian Forest.
The Dwarves to the West in Orzammer near the Frostback Mountains.
The Circle of Magi will be in their tower in Lake Calenhad to the North.
Loghain will be at the Palace in Denerim.
For now though, let us head to the nearby village - but first have a look around outside the village for some lootable
items including elfroot, deathroot, and items.
