After King Ranser orders one last desperate attack, General Dathieu will ask you to convince Captain Taern to not go ahead with the order.

"Have you come to join us for the final push, Lieutenant? We're all that's left of the King's Guard, but at least we'll take a few Orcs with us.
As soon as we see an opening, we're charging into that breach down there."
The general wants you to delay the charge.
"The general has no authority over the King's Guard. I take my orders directly from the king.
The king ordered us to charge and that's what we're going to do."
[Persuade] The king isn't thinking clearly. It's your duty to protect him from himself, not the Orcs.
"It's true that the king hasn't been acting himself. Is General Dathieu asking him to rescind the order?"
Yes. He thinks that surrendering is a better option.
"Hmm. If the king decides to surrender, he still may have need of us ….
Very well. I'll delay the charge until we get clarification from the king."
Surely you can afford to delay the charge for a little while.
"The King's orders are to charge the north breach.
As soon as I see an opening in their ranks, we're charging. That's the only delay you can expect."

Speaking to her again:

"Mark my words. No Orc gets by here as long as the King's Guard still stands."
 
Taern and her soldiers sedated

If you cannot convince her to delay, you will need to use the sleep scrolls and put her to sleep, along with her soldiers.

NotesEdit

  • As soon as you pick up the sleep scrolls, you are no longer able to talk to Captain Taern to persuade her.
