Harboring a Fugitive is a side quest, but its completion gates many of the other side quests in the game, particularly in Harvest Valley and in the [[Glacial Rift]]. It has two end states: the Champion can purify the Centaur Village, restoring Taldahs and many of the tribes' members, or they can take mastery of the corrupted village.

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:

While traveling in [[Harvest Valley]], the sound of hooves just over a hill alerts the Champion of an approaching [[Centaur Pack]], and gives them 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.

Investigate=
 +
The Champion and their party quietly creep up on a hill and spot three centaurs. Two male centaurs wielding large clubs attempt to convince a female centaur they call [[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 toying with her, the Champion walks up to the centaurs, weapon readied.<p>
 +
 
 +
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 weapon away so they can take their princess home, however, his less-diplomatic partner adds that they'll get to fuck her every night along the way. With their plan revealed, the two prepare for a fight, and the Champion is in a fight against two weakened [[Centaur Marauder]]s.
 +
 
 +
{{#tag:tabber|
 +
Victory ⭐=
 +
The less-diplomatic centaur starts seizing: his skin bulges from the inside, and he roars mindlessly as slippery tentacles sprout from his body. The un-transformed centaur swears and runs off, leaving the Champion with his monstrous companion, who advances on a fear-stricken Ahmri.<p>
 +
 
 +
The Champion rushes in, grabbing a short blade from Ahmri and striking the monster's heart; however, the transformed centaur bats it away with one arm and moves to smash them with his club. This distraction allows [[Brint]], [[Atugia]], [[Cait]], or the Champion (if none of the listed companions are in the party) to strike down the monster.<p>
  
−
Note that leaving or fleeing '''will not''' permanently end this encounter, and they can encounter it again at anytime.
+
After the monster's death, Ahmri points her bow at the Champion, and asks how she can know they aren't another one of the "red bitch's pawns." When the Champion convinces her, she sinks to the ground in exhaustion, and states that she doesn't think she can run much further and, although she brought enough food to last her a while, she needs to rest. The Champion checks Ahmri's supplies and finds nothing but sweets, which they tell the tired centauress wouldn't last for a week before spoiling.<p>

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.
+
After helping Ahmri sort her food, she's left with dried fruit and a handful of jerky, which is maybe enough for two good meals. The Champion tells her they can find her shelter at [[Hawkethorne]] until they find some way to fix whatever is going on in the valley. The friendly gesture perks Ahmri up, but she refuses to leave: as the only daughter of [[Taldahs|Chief Taldahs]], she will not run away until she can fix her tribe. Respecting this decision, the Champion teaches Ahmri how to forage for eggs and make a fire, and invites her to stay in any of the camps they set up in the valley.<p>
  
−
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.
+
The following options become available:<p>
  
−
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.

Building a camp on the spot does not consume [[Camping Supplies]], since the Champion uses the transformed centaur's gear, however, should they prefer a different spot in the valley, it will require Camping Supplies.

As the centaurs are about to take advantage of the Champion, the collected one notices that Ahmri's disappeared and berates his companion for not keeping an eye on her. The two rush off to find Ahmri.<p>
  
−
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.

Defeat or fleeing '''does not''' lock this encounter; the Champion can encounter it again at anytime until they rescue [[Ahmri]] from the marauding centaurs.<p>
  
−
With that, the following options will become available:

The next time the Champion chooses to investigate the noise, the more collected centaur recognizes them and asks if they don't know when to give up, and the pair of marauders prepare once again for a fight.<p>

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.

Once the Champion has set up a new camp or visits one of their camps in Harvest Valley, a tired Ahmri collapses on a sleeping mat as her exhaustion finally catches up with her. In subsequent camp visits, Ahmri will be arranging her summer dresses while humming a soft tune.

Ahmri will be present at any camp the Champion sets up in Harvest Valley until they talk to [[Atani]] in the [[Marefolk Village]].

To progress the quest, the Champion must talk to Ahmri in the camp. The first time the Champion speaks to Ahmri, she will thank them for being a hero, and, in a roundabout manner, offer sex in reward for her rescue. With that, the Champion has the following options:

In '''CentaurVillage''' Ahmri gives the Champion intel about the layout of the village. Tucked into a ravine, the village is arranged in a circle, with the common living spaces in the center. She and her father live on the north side. She tells the Champion there's a path through the mountains that the foragers use, but because it's narrow and the footing is uneven, the centaurs would never initiate combat there: they can use it to enter the village unnoticed. Importantly, she adds that Kasyrra did something to her father to turn him into a tentacled beast, but she's certain it's still him on the inside.

If the Champion has not met Atani before, they'll discover a pheromone-laden, cuddle-able, and very sad mare in her tent, who will explain that her mother, the former [[Naiyana|Chieftain Asani Naiyana]], was kidnapped by the corrupt centaurs. Atani has taken on the position of acting chieftain in her stead, but Naiyana was like a mother to the whole tribe, and everyone misses her terribly. She asks the Champion for their help in rescuing her. With that, the Champion has the following options:<p>

=====Centaurs=====
 +
----
 +
Atani explains that the two species have much in common, including powerful pheromones and large dicks, but that these commonalities--and common concerns--make her feel the corrupted tribe to be traitors.
 +
 +
Nevertheless, she can't hate them; she considers that they might be so corruptible due to the way they've developed in order to live alongside the marefolk. The corrupted centaurs, however, now have such powerful pheromones that only the strongest marefolk warriors can stand against them, and then, usually only because they want to be on top.
 +
 +
Atani ends by saying that she hasn't hat a chance to spend time with them, other than briefly meeting the chieftain's daughter years ago.
 +
 +
=====Help Princess=====
 +
----
 +
The Champion asks Atani if she'd be willing to let Ahmri stay in the Marefolk Village while they develop a plan to defeat the corruption in the valley.
 +
 +
Atani is hesitant, but agrees, directing the Champion to bring Ahmri to her tent first, rather than leave her alone in a distrustful village.
 +
 +
The Champion returns to pick up Ahmri from their camp, who is excited to meet Atani, and returns. While the Champion and Ahmri find the Marefolk Village not hostile, the centaur princess gets many curious looks on their way to Atani's yurt. Once inside, Ahmri, nervous, stumbles through an introduction, apologizing for not getting to know Atani when they first met--because she was in the middle of a good book.
 +
 +
Her stumbling words completely convince Atani that she's incorrupt, and the two quickly bond over a love of reading and romance. They hug in order to stave off tears about their parents, and Atani tells Ahmri she can stay in the village as long as she needs, and help the Champion plan a way into the Centaur Village.

“ I won't leave the valley. If you heard my name, then you probably also heard that I'm the chief's daughter. Chief Taldahs's only daughter, to be precise. I'm not going to run away until I find a way to fix my tribe.

”

—Ahmri, First Encounter

After exploring in Harvest Valley and repeatedly encountering the marauding Centaur Packs, the Champion meets Ahmri, the daughter of the chieftain of the Valley's Centaur tribe, on the run from a pair of centaurs. She has an ask for the Champion: help hide her from her corrupted tribe members, and then help her save her village from Kasyrra's corruption.

Harboring a Fugitive is a side quest, but its completion gates many of the other side quests in the game, particularly in Harvest Valley and in the Glacial Rift. It has two end states: the Champion can purify the Centaur Village, restoring Chieftain Taldahs and many of the tribes' members, or they can take mastery of the corrupted village.

Quest States

State Acquisition Description
0 Investigate the noise but lose to the Centaur Marauder pair. You were unable to fend off the corrupt marauders harrying a centaur mare named Ahmri. Perhaps it would be a good idea to try again at full strength, as she might be able to tell you something about what's going on with the centaurs.
1 Rescue Ahmri, but build camp elsewhere. You've rescued Ahmri, daughter of the centaur village's chief! She said she had somewhere to hide, but would rendezvous with you when you set up a camp in the valley.
2 Rescue Ahmri and move her into the Champion's camp. Ahmri is staying in your camp in the Harvest Valley. She'll be able to make her way to new camps you set up, but it would be good to find out more about her situation.
3 Learn more about the Centaur Village from Ahmri. You've talked with Ahmri about her village. If only you can find somewhere safer for her to stay while you make plans for the centaur village.
4 Ask Atani to harbor the centaur princess. Chieftain Atani of the marefolk village has agreed to harbor Ahmri while you make plans to infiltrate her village. Only a matter of time now.
5 Return to Atani and begin rescue. You've begun a covert assault on the centaur village. Make your way through the village to reach Taldahs and talk some sense into him.
6

Free Taldahs from Kasyrra's influence.

Kill Taldahs in combat.

You've successfully rescued the centaurs from the corruption's influence. Some still follow the cult and continue to serve their demonic masters, but their unrest in the valley has been eliminated. The centaurs have a ways to go before things get completely back to normal, but you'll be there to help them along the way.

You killed Taldahs and liberated your new village, but Ahmri has been kidnapped by the fetish cult. Tollus is going to answer for this.This is as far as this quest progresses for now.

Detailed Walkthrough

Throughout this walkthrough, Champion options that progress the quest are marked with a star (⭐).

Encountering Ahmri

While traveling in Harvest Valley, the sound of hooves just over a hill alerts the Champion of an approaching Centaur Pack, and gives them the following choices:

Option Tooltip
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.

The Champion and their party quietly creep up on a hill and spot three centaurs. Two male centaurs wielding large clubs attempt to convince a female centaur they call 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 toying with her, the Champion walks up to the centaurs, weapon readied.

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 weapon away so they can take their princess home, however, his less-diplomatic partner adds that they'll get to fuck her every night along the way. With their plan revealed, the two prepare for a fight, and the Champion is in a fight against two weakened Centaur Marauders.

The less-diplomatic centaur starts seizing: his skin bulges from the inside, and he roars mindlessly as slippery tentacles sprout from his body. The un-transformed centaur swears and runs off, leaving the Champion with his monstrous companion, who advances on a fear-stricken Ahmri.

The Champion rushes in, grabbing a short blade from Ahmri and striking the monster's heart; however, the transformed centaur bats it away with one arm and moves to smash them with his club. This distraction allows Brint, Atugia, Cait, or the Champion (if none of the listed companions are in the party) to strike down the monster.

After the monster's death, Ahmri points her bow at the Champion, and asks how she can know they aren't another one of the "red bitch's pawns." When the Champion convinces her, she sinks to the ground in exhaustion, and states that she doesn't think she can run much further and, although she brought enough food to last her a while, she needs to rest. The Champion checks Ahmri's supplies and finds nothing but sweets, which they tell the tired centauress wouldn't last for a week before spoiling.

After helping Ahmri sort her food, she's left with dried fruit and a handful of jerky, which is maybe enough for two good meals. The Champion tells her they can find her shelter at Hawkethorne until they find some way to fix whatever is going on in the valley. The friendly gesture perks Ahmri up, but she refuses to leave: as the only daughter of Chief Taldahs, she will not run away until she can fix her tribe. Respecting this decision, the Champion teaches Ahmri how to forage for eggs and make a fire, and invites her to stay in any of the camps they set up in the valley.

The following options become available:

Option Tooltip
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.
Building a camp on the spot does not consume Camping Supplies, since the Champion uses the transformed centaur's gear, however, should they prefer a different spot in the valley, it will require Camping Supplies.

Option Tooltip
Enter Camp Make Ahmri feel at home in your camp.

As the centaurs are about to take advantage of the Champion, the collected one notices that Ahmri's disappeared and berates his companion for not keeping an eye on her. The two rush off to find Ahmri.

Defeat or fleeing does not lock this encounter; the Champion can encounter it again at anytime until they rescue Ahmri from the marauding centaurs.

The next time the Champion chooses to investigate the noise, the more collected centaur recognizes them and asks if they don't know when to give up, and the pair of marauders prepare once again for a fight.

Leaving does not lock this encounter; the Champion can encounter it again at anytime until they rescue Ahmri from the marauding centaurs.

The Champion must Investigate the centaur pack, defeat them, and build a camp in Harvest Valley to progress past this stage of the quest.

Ahmri at Camp

Once the Champion has set up a new camp or visits one of their camps in Harvest Valley, a tired Ahmri collapses on a sleeping mat as her exhaustion finally catches up with her. In subsequent camp visits, Ahmri will be arranging her summer dresses while humming a soft tune.

Ahmri will be present at any camp the Champion sets up in Harvest Valley until they talk to Atani in the Marefolk Village.

To progress the quest, the Champion must talk to Ahmri in the camp. The first time the Champion speaks to Ahmri, she will thank them for being a hero, and, in a roundabout manner, offer sex in reward for her rescue. With that, the Champion has the following options:

Option Tooltip Result
Accept Accept the poor girl's offer, for the gods' sake.
  • If has Cock, Titjob proceeds
  • If does not, CuddleBate proceeds
Decline You don't need that kind of reward right now.
  • No sex

After the Champion responds to Ahmri's offer, they have the following options when visiting her in camp. (Note that declining Ahmri's initial offer does not lock the Champion out of sex with her.) To progress the quest, the Champion must choose Talk, which is marked with a star in the table below:

Option Tooltip
Appearance Get a better look at the fugitive centaur.
Talk ⭐ Ask Ahmri some questions.
Cuddle

Find Ahmri for some restful cuddles.

It's not dark yet, the day is still young!

Sex Maybe Ahmri would be up for some lewd fun.

Talk

When the Champion chooses to Talk to Ahmri, they have the options below. To progress the quest, they must choose CentaurVillage (marked with a star in the table below).

Option Tooltip
HarvestValley Ahmri's lived here her entire life, she's got to know some interesting things about the valley.
CentaurVillage ⭐ Ask Ahmri about her home. She's got to know something that can help you try to take it back. Even if she doesn't, talking about what happened could help her feel better.
Books From what you've heard centaur tradition is mostly based in oral histories. How is it that Ahmri seems to know of foreign stories and commonly written tales?

In CentaurVillage Ahmri gives the Champion intel about the layout of the village. Tucked into a ravine, the village is arranged in a circle, with the common living spaces in the center. She and her father live on the north side. She tells the Champion there's a path through the mountains that the foragers use, but because it's narrow and the footing is uneven, the centaurs would never initiate combat there: they can use it to enter the village unnoticed. Importantly, she adds that Kasyrra did something to her father to turn him into a tentacled beast, but she's certain it's still him on the inside.

See Ahmri for further Talk details.

Cuddle and Camp Sex

See Ahmri for further details.

Atani and the Marefolk Village

To progress the quest, the Champion must enlist the help of Chieftain Atani in the Marefolk Village, located on the southeastern edge of Harvest Valley. Atani can be found on the western-most tile of the southern road of the village.

If the Champion has not met Atani before, they'll discover a pheromone-laden, cuddle-able, and very sad mare in her tent, who will explain that her mother, the former Chieftain Asani Naiyana, was kidnapped by the corrupt centaurs. Atani has taken on the position of acting chieftain in her stead, but Naiyana was like a mother to the whole tribe, and everyone misses her terribly. She asks the Champion for their help in rescuing her. With that, the Champion has the following options:

Option Tooltip Result
Of Course ⭐ As if you could leave this poor daughter to her fate.
  • Unlocks Atani's interactions
Refuse There are plenty of dangers in the world; you can’t handle this one too.
  • Kicks Champion out of Atani's tent
  • Increases Corruption by 1

If the Champion has refused to rescue Naiyana, they must return to Atani's tent and agree to do so in order to progress the quest. When they arrive at Atani's tent, they will receive the following options:

Option Tooltip Result
Yes ⭐ Okay, maybe you feel a bit bad.
  • Unlocks Atani's interactions
No This still? Fuck that.
  • Increases Corruption by 1, until 60

Subsequent Encounters

Once Ahmri is safely in one of the Champion's camps in Harvest Valley, and the Champion has unlocked interactions with Atani by agreeing to help rescue her mother, Atani's tile in the Marefolk Village will be marked with a !, and present the following options:

Option Requirement Tooltip
Appearance - You can’t get tired of drinking her in.
Centaurs ⭐ - So what’s the deal with these jerks?
↳ Help Princess ⭐
  • Have Ahmri in camp
 Speaking of princesses...
Her Mother - Ask about her mother.
Herself - How’s she holding up?
Private Time Maybe she’d be interested in some comfy company?
Centaurs

Atani explains that the two species have much in common, including powerful pheromones and large dicks, but that these commonalities--and common concerns--make her feel the corrupted tribe to be traitors.

Nevertheless, she can't hate them; she considers that they might be so corruptible due to the way they've developed in order to live alongside the marefolk. The corrupted centaurs, however, now have such powerful pheromones that only the strongest marefolk warriors can stand against them, and then, usually only because they want to be on top.

Atani ends by saying that she hasn't hat a chance to spend time with them, other than briefly meeting the chieftain's daughter years ago.

Help Princess

The Champion asks Atani if she'd be willing to let Ahmri stay in the Marefolk Village while they develop a plan to defeat the corruption in the valley.

Atani is hesitant, but agrees, directing the Champion to bring Ahmri to her tent first, rather than leave her alone in a distrustful village.

The Champion returns to pick up Ahmri from their camp, who is excited to meet Atani, and returns. While the Champion and Ahmri find the Marefolk Village not hostile, the centaur princess gets many curious looks on their way to Atani's yurt. Once inside, Ahmri, nervous, stumbles through an introduction, apologizing for not getting to know Atani when they first met--because she was in the middle of a good book.

Her stumbling words completely convince Atani that she's incorrupt, and the two quickly bond over a love of reading and romance. They hug in order to stave off tears about their parents, and Atani tells Ahmri she can stay in the village as long as she needs, and help the Champion plan a way into the Centaur Village.

See Atani for details on Atani's other options.
