PEARLS BEFORE SWINE

Talk to Sergeant Kylon (Denerim Market District Map, L1).

Offer your assistance in getting rid of a group of mercenaries.

Sergeant Kylon

Once you've officially started this quest travel to Denerim’s Pearl and find the Veteran of White Falcon (Denerim Other Locations Map, L3).

• Leave the Denerim Market District and head to The Pearl. The White Falcons can be:

• Persuaded to leave.

• Intimidated away.

• Fought off. They will surrender when any of them is about to die (so you cannot kill all but one of them to get extra XP) and you will have the option to either let them pass or kill them. If you let them pass and tell them to empty their pockets first you gain 2 gold and 50 XP.

• If the mercenaries are made to leave The Pearl, the party will have a random encounter the next time they travel within Denerim. Sergeant Kylon will appear and offer his congratulations for your success in resolving the situation peacefully, but will be interrupted by Cristof and his mercenaries, who will attack. You will be assisted in the fight by Sergeant Kylon and four weapon and shield City Guards. Cristof will be backed by nine melee warriors and two archers. Cristof is a melee lieutenant. Cristof drops the unique item Aodh.

Note: Because there is a mandatory plot dialog following this fight, Sergeant Kylon always survives. Even surrounded in melee, he stays alive at zero health. If you hide and let Sergeant Kylon do all the fighting, he will eventually kill all the enemies himself, and then compliment you on your bravery.

• If the White Falcons were killed at the Pearl, Sergeant Kylon will instead be displeased and will order his men to go clean up the mess. The Warden at that point has the option to attack Sergeant Kylon for refusing to give a reward.
