When exploring the [[Harvest Valley]], the Champion may come across a commotion, involving thunderous hoofbeats and hints of an argument. The Champion may then:

While exploring the open grasslands of the valley, the sudden sound of thundering hoofbeats alerts the Champion and they prepare for a fight, however, the noise stops just over a hill. The Champion will be given the following choices:

If the Champion were to choose to leave or flee, this scenario can randomly be encountered again. Investigating the commotion will lead to a combat fight against two tired [[Centaur Marauder|Centaur Marauders]]. Upon defeating the pair, one of the centaurs transforms into an amalgam of slippery tentacles and crazed equine body. The party is able to kill the crazed centaur while the other flees, Ahmri thanks the Champion and explains her situation; she needs help to save her village from the control of a "red bitch". The Champion offers Ahmri the chance to seek shelter in any of the camps their party build in the [[Harvest Valley]] since she refuses to leave the valley. The Champion can:

Choosing to investigate will have the Champion and their party quietly creep up on a hill and spot three centaurs. They note two male centaurs wielding large clubs and that they seem different; that their body language and mannerisms are different from what they know or heard about the centaurs in the Marches. The two males attempt to convince a female centaur they address as Ahmri to return home, however, Ahmri states that whatever the [[Kasyrra|weird red woman]] did to her father is clearly affecting them as well. She promises that she'll find someone to fix them and she asks to be left alone. Realizing that the centaurs are simply toying with her, the Champion walks up to the centaurs with their weapons at the ready. The centaurs don't notice the Champion until they're practically standing between both parties. One of the marauders tries to convince the Champion to put their weapons away so they may take their princess home, however, his less-diplomatic partner adds that they get to fuck the virgin Ahmri every night along the way. With their plan revealed, the collected one berates his companion and states that the Champion probably just wants Ahmri all to themselves, and prepare for a fight.

The Champion will be placed into a fight against two weakened [[Centaur Marauder]]s. Should the Champion be defeated by the centaurs; as they're about to take advantage of the Champion, the collected one notices the disappearance of Ahmri and berates his companion for not keeping an eye on her and they rush off to find Ahmri.
 +
 
 +
If the Champion was previously defeated by the centaurs or had fled, upon encountering and investigating the noise once again, the collected one recognizes them and rhetorically asks that 'don't they know when to give up?' and quips that while Ahmri clearly doesn't, the Champion seems like they've got some sense, and the pair prepare for a fight.
  
−
Deciding to build a camp on the spot or at a specific location will not matter, due to the fact that Ahmri can always be encountered at any camp the Champion enters. Upon settling down the Champion may talk to Ahmri and find more information on her plight, however, at first she will offer the Champion a boobjob if they have a cock, or to cuddle if not:

Should the Champion defeat the centaurs, the collected centaur huffs and goes to speak, however, he becomes distracted by his companion who is seizing. The centaur's skin bulges from the inside and he lets loose a mindless roar as slippery tentacles sprout from his body. The untwisted centaur swears and runs off, leaving the Champion with his malformed companion. The corrupted centaur speaks; "No more wait", as he slowly advances on a fear-stricken Ahmri. The Champion will rush in, grabbing a short blade from Ahmri and sinking it directly into the monster's heart, however, he bats them away with one arm and moves to smash them with his club. This distraction allows [[Brint]], [[Atugia]], [[Berwyn]], [[Cait]], or the Champion (if has none of the listed companions) to strike down the monster and it chokes before dying at their feet. They wipe away the blood from the short blade and return it to Ahmri.
−
*'''Accept''' - Accept the poor girl's offer, for the gods' sake.
 
−
*'''Decline''' - You don't need that kind of reward right now.

The Champion may now interact with Ahmri normally, but to advance the quest further, they will have to talk to her about the '''CentaurVillage'''.
+
She huffs and asks how does she know the Champion isn't another one of the 'red bitch's pawns'. The Champion manages to convince her and her mixture of fear and defiance deflates as she sinks to the ground, suddenly looking like she hasn't slept in days. She states that she doesn't think she can run for much further and although she brought enough food to last her a while, she needs to rest. The Champion observes Ahmri's fully packed bags on her barding and undoes the tie on one of her packs which reveals the food she had brought along with her, nothing but cakes and other sweetmeats that wouldn't last more than a week before spoiling. A now less-confident Ahmri is surprised and states that she picked all the things she usually eats and those never spoiled when she was at home. After helping Ahrmi sort through what food will last, she's left with dried fruit and a handful of jerky, which is maybe enough for two good meals. They tell her of her food predicament before stating that they can find her shelter at [[Hawkethorne]] until they find some way to fix whatever is going on in the valley, and they go to introduce themselves and their companions. The friendly gesture is enough to perk Ahmri up a little as she refuses to leave the valley, as the only daughter of [[Taldahs|Chief Taldahs]], she will not run away until she finds a way to fix her tribe. Convinced of her willingness to stay, the Champion teaches Ahrmi how to forage for March chicken eggs and make use of them. Although it may take them some time to find a place to stay, they invite Ahmri to stay in any of the camps they set up in the valley.
  
−
Once the Champion has learned more from Ahmri regarding the state of the centaur village, they may approach [[Atani]] (having accepted her request to save her mother) with a request that the Marefolk Village harbor Ahmri while the Champion deals with the centaur village. Atani will be conflicted at first, but when Ahmri introduces herself, as she stumbles over her words, it doesn't take long for the taciturn Atani to come to a realization that Ahmri is just like Atani. The two will find a connection with books, specifically the tales of Baron Wellguard. Atani will agree to harbor Ahmri while the Champion saves Atani's mom and gets Ahmri's dad back to normal, and will give Ahmri a comforting hug.

    Detailed Walkthrough

    Encountering Ahmri

    While exploring the open grasslands of the valley, the sudden sound of thundering hoofbeats alerts the Champion and they prepare for a fight, however, the noise stops just over a hill. The Champion will be given the following choices:

    • Investigate - Check out the commotion. Better to get the jump on a violent centaur than be caught unaware.
    • Leave - Better get out of here before the centaurs hear or see you.

    Note that leaving or fleeing will not permanently end this encounter, and they can encounter it again at anytime.

    Choosing to investigate will have the Champion and their party quietly creep up on a hill and spot three centaurs. They note two male centaurs wielding large clubs and that they seem different; that their body language and mannerisms are different from what they know or heard about the centaurs in the Marches. The two males attempt to convince a female centaur they address as Ahmri to return home, however, Ahmri states that whatever the weird red woman did to her father is clearly affecting them as well. She promises that she'll find someone to fix them and she asks to be left alone. Realizing that the centaurs are simply toying with her, the Champion walks up to the centaurs with their weapons at the ready. The centaurs don't notice the Champion until they're practically standing between both parties. One of the marauders tries to convince the Champion to put their weapons away so they may take their princess home, however, his less-diplomatic partner adds that they get to fuck the virgin Ahmri every night along the way. With their plan revealed, the collected one berates his companion and states that the Champion probably just wants Ahmri all to themselves, and prepare for a fight.

    The Champion will be placed into a fight against two weakened Centaur Marauders. Should the Champion be defeated by the centaurs; as they're about to take advantage of the Champion, the collected one notices the disappearance of Ahmri and berates his companion for not keeping an eye on her and they rush off to find Ahmri.

    If the Champion was previously defeated by the centaurs or had fled, upon encountering and investigating the noise once again, the collected one recognizes them and rhetorically asks that 'don't they know when to give up?' and quips that while Ahmri clearly doesn't, the Champion seems like they've got some sense, and the pair prepare for a fight.

    Should the Champion defeat the centaurs, the collected centaur huffs and goes to speak, however, he becomes distracted by his companion who is seizing. The centaur's skin bulges from the inside and he lets loose a mindless roar as slippery tentacles sprout from his body. The untwisted centaur swears and runs off, leaving the Champion with his malformed companion. The corrupted centaur speaks; "No more wait", as he slowly advances on a fear-stricken Ahmri. The Champion will rush in, grabbing a short blade from Ahmri and sinking it directly into the monster's heart, however, he bats them away with one arm and moves to smash them with his club. This distraction allows Brint, Atugia, Berwyn, Cait, or the Champion (if has none of the listed companions) to strike down the monster and it chokes before dying at their feet. They wipe away the blood from the short blade and return it to Ahmri.

    She huffs and asks how does she know the Champion isn't another one of the 'red bitch's pawns'. The Champion manages to convince her and her mixture of fear and defiance deflates as she sinks to the ground, suddenly looking like she hasn't slept in days. She states that she doesn't think she can run for much further and although she brought enough food to last her a while, she needs to rest.

A now less-confident Ahmri is surprised and states that she picked all the things she usually eats and those never spoiled when she was at home. After helping Ahrmi sort through what food will last, she's left with dried fruit and a handful of jerky, which is maybe enough for two good meals. They tell her of her food predicament before stating that they can find her shelter at Hawkethorne until they find some way to fix whatever is going on in the valley, and they go to introduce themselves and their companions. The friendly gesture is enough to perk Ahmri up a little as she refuses to leave the valley, as the only daughter of Chief Taldahs, she will not run away until she finds a way to fix her tribe. Convinced of her willingness to stay, the Champion teaches Ahrmi how to forage for March chicken eggs and make use of them. Although it may take them some time to find a place to stay, they invite Ahmri to stay in any of the camps they set up in the valley.

    With that, the following options will become available:

    • If not presently at a tile with a camp:
      • Build Camp - You could build a camp right here! This spot seems safe enough.
      • Elsewhere - You'd prefer to use a different camp in the valley.
    • If has a camp on current tile:
      • Enter Camp - Make Ahmri feel at home in your camp.

    Note that building a camp on the spot will not consume Camping Supplies, since they will use the corrupted centaur's gear, however, should they prefer a different spot in the valley, it will require Camping Supplies.

    Ahmri at Camp

    Once a camp has been set up or when the Champion reaches one of their camps, a tired Ahmri collapses on a sleeping mat as her exhaustion finally catches up with her. Note that Ahmri will be present at any camp the Champion sets up in the valley. At the camp, Ahmri can be seen arranging her summer dresses while humming a soft tune.
