“	"People of the harvest tribes, since when do accursed 女巫 and arrogant mages order us about like brainless fools? Have we forgotten the last time mages experimented so heavily with the state of the world? Our ancestors would be sick."	”
—Taldahs, Harboring a Fugitive Purified Ending

---

酋长Taldahs是Harvest Valley中Centaur Village的首领，也是Ahmri的父亲。他和族人在Kasyrra进入这个世界后成为最早的目标之一；只有Ahmri、Sugo以及可能的少数族人逃脱了教团的腐化。

在Harboring a Fugitive事件中，勇者可以说服Taldahs摆脱Kasyrra的影响并净化部族，也可以选择杀死Taldahs，将腐化的部族据为己有。

外貌

“	You watch in apprehension as a monstrosity steps through the door. It looks like a 半人马, but carved from the same living crystal as the 触手 spear from before. The thing has no mouth, but you can see the smile in its eyes as it looks past you, focusing all its attention on Ahmri. It opens its arms, holding them out as if to welcome her.	”
—首次遭遇

“	The chieftain of the 半人马 is a large and powerfully built man. Visible muscle meshes with just enough softness to relieve any feelings of intimidation you'd get from his nearly nine foot frame. Perhaps he might be scarier if it weren't for his perpetual smile and open demeanor. His blonde hair is usually combed backwards, and falls to his 颈部 in thick locks. His face is creased with years of smile lines, and his bright blue eyes are full of a curiosity that belies his age. Usually, the chieftain can be found shirtless, with nothing but a set of saddlebags adorning his equine 肩部. All in all the ensemble combines to create a very "fatherly" figure.	”

首次遭遇

Taldahs is the final boss of the Centaur Village dungeon in Harboring a Fugitive.

After fighting through the other 腐化 半人马 of the 半人马村落 (Eubicha, Genova, and the Behemoth), the 勇者 approaches the Chieftain's hut at the north of the village. From it steps a 半人马 covered in 腐化, living crystal. The monster calls Ahmri his moonlight snowball, happily looking forward to her and the 勇者 taking their places in Kasyrra's plans. Ahmri corrects him: the 勇者 has come to fix the 腐化. The 腐化 半人马 laughs and invites the 勇者 to enlighten him about what needs fixing.

The 勇者 can engage the Taldahs monster in a 对话战斗 to convince him to fight Kasyrra's influence or engage him in 实体战斗. This choice determines the end of 窝藏逃犯. Winning the 对话战斗 leads to freeing Taldahs of 腐化 and purifying the tribe; choosing to go straight to 实体战斗 ends in Taldahs's death and maintains the village's 腐化. Losing either 战斗 results in a 坏结局.

The options available are:

选项	提示	结果
Full Blessing	Did you hear him correctly?	Starts the 对话战斗.
Convince	He wouldn't stop to listen if some part of him didn't want it.	Starts the 对话战斗.
Nickname	What kind of a nickname is moonlight snowball?	Starts the 对话战斗.
Attack	Fuck this. Attacking before you talk Taldahs down will result in the village's 腐化. Ahmri will NOT like this, and will probably run.	Starts the 物理 battle.

对话战斗

---

There are three possible routes in the 对话战斗. If the 勇者 stopped to 交谈 to Ahmri at the start of Harboring a Fugitive, they can purify Taldahs completely through conversation. If they did not, they can get partway through to him, but complete purification will require 物理 fighting in addition. If the 勇者 fails by losing all their 生命值 (see the Full 指南), they experience the Eternity of 触手群 坏结局.

胜利路线

---

While the 勇者 can take as many detours as they'd like, (it is possible to read every dialogue option without losing), the routes below take the 勇者 to victory.

---

If the 勇者 chose to 交谈 to Ahmri at the start of the 任务 and asked her about Stories her father tells (see Harboring a Fugitive for more details), the victory route is Convince->Berate-->家庭-->Single Dad.

Taldahs angrily renounces Kasyrra and peels away the 腐化 物理 mass covering his body.

If the 勇者 chose to Hurry instead of asking Ahmri questions, or did not choose Stories from her 交谈 options at the start of the 任务, (see Harboring a Fugitive for more details), the victory route is Convince->Goad-->Berate-->家庭-->Single Dad.

A network of cracks appears in the 腐化 物理 mass covering his body, but the 勇者 isn't able to get through to him entirely, and they must engage Taldahs 战斗中. If the 勇者 is victorious, Taldahs angrily renounces Kasyrra and peels away the 腐化.

内容

---

The 对话战斗 reveals lore and 信息 about Taldahs, his 家庭, the 半人马村落, and 丰收谷.

The 勇者 observes that there may be some humanity left in Taldahs. They may be able to help him recognize that in himself, but they shouldn't be reckless.

When the 勇者 asks Taldahs what he meant by that he and Ahmri had yet to receive Kasyrra's "full" blessing, the chieftain shares that Kasyrra promised him more power after he completes his task of corrupting the valley. She eventually hopes to do similarly for the 勇者, he adds. The 勇者 wants to change the subject but 注释 that this means Taldahs isn't fully 腐化!

The 勇者 remarks that the Taldahs monster wouldn't be open to a conversation if he didn't want to be convinced, but the 半人马 scoffs. The chieftain says he has never been stronger, and now he has magic to back him up: he's become the strongest being in the valley. Why, Taldahs wonders, would he go back to being nothing? The 勇者 observes that there's a note of disinterest in his words, as if Taldahs doesn't quite believe them himself.

The 勇者 tells the Taldahs monster that he's fooling himself if he thinks he's stronger than Kasyrra. The chieftain replies that he's proud, but not foolish: he won't challenge her, and she will reward him for aiding her throughout the valley.

The 勇者 will need to choose a different angle... but something he just said resonates with them. They need to remember this.

The 勇者 will need to choose a different angle.

What, the 勇者 asks, does Taldahs mean by returning to "nothing"? Is that all he thinks he had? They remind the Taldahs monster of his friends and daughter, who certainly can't be nothing if he wants her to join him so badly.

The chieftain replies that he may have mispoken: he only meant to reflect on his own 力量. Given the promise of power, he made the only sensible choice--didn't he?

The 勇者 refuses to agree, and Taldahs asks what they would have had him do instead: ally with the 马人族 or mousefolk against "everything [he] ever wanted?"

The 勇者 rejects this outlook. The Taldahs they've heard about was never so hung up on the respect or subjugation of others. There's another reason the chieftain accepted this power... Taldahs interrupts, in an angry and pleading cry, to ask what, then, did he want?

This moves the 勇者 to Menu 2.

The 勇者 doesn't know enough to push this. They need to delve a little deeper in more conversation.

Taldahs, bored, threatens to take his daughter if the 勇者 can't think of anything.

The 勇者 asks Taldahs about his nickname for his daughter, "moonlight snowball," and the chieftain muses out loud about Ahmri's mother, a beautiful centauress from the north. He shares that he doesn't know why she stayed with him, given his own aging and his declining tribe.

The 勇者 prods Taldahs again about the odd nickname, and the monster replies that Ahmri, like her mother, has snow-white fur and a love of the cold. As a child, she would sneak out at night to play in snow, and he would watch her silently, making sure her bedding, when she returned, was warm and dry. His eyes soften, and the 勇者 considers that this might be worth pursuing.

The 勇者 asks Taldahs what happened--when did Ahmri change--and Taldahs retorts that she didn't: he did. He, who once beat five 马人族 in single 战斗, felt his 力量 waning, and although no one had yet made the push to unseat him as chieftain, it was only a matter of time.

However, the Taldahs monster avoids the 勇者's eyes as he explains himself; something is off.

But Ahmri told the 勇者 how the village works: chieftains keep their positions for life. The 勇者 points out that the village nursed him back to 生命值, even when he was weak and ill, and a crack appears in the crystal covering Taldahs's face.

The 勇者 responds that Taldahs was just telling them that the village was helping him to corrupt the known world--not something they'd do for a weak chief--and a crack appears in the crystal covering Taldahs's face.

The 勇者 doesn't know enough about how the village works to push him on his claims, despite their intuition.

The 勇者 accuses Taldahs of using Ahmri to replace his wife, and the 半人马 chieftain sharply rebukes them: his wife is alive, and he loves his daughter as his child, and he will not respond to vile insinuations. The 勇者 realizes they misjudged the depth of Taldahs's 腐化: it's not that deep.

Taldahs continues to reminisce. He shares that the 首次 he told Ahmri not to play in the 暗影, she agreed--and then, of course, did it anyway. He recounts feeling dumbfounded, but that Ahmri had claimed she wasn't even cold. Tiki, his wife, explained to him that it's that the winters in the Marches are warmer than up north--he adds he never wants to find out how cold it gets up there. The chieftain pauses, and then glares at the 勇者, waiting for them to continue.

The 勇者 is pleased to confirm that they were right: Taldahs doesn't want this after all. They suspect they know why, but will need to lead Taldahs carefully to the same 结局.

The 勇者 responds to Taldahs's cry by asking him what it is like being the leader of the 半人马, to which he responds that, nowadays, it's mostly boring. Chieftains used to have to consider battle tactics, but the 马人族 of the valley haven't been a problem for years, and were on track to mingle freely. Kasyrra, he adds, supported that outcome, and he states that she helped create the Behemoth, one example of what the union between 马人族 and 半人马 could create.

Taldahs is bored with this subject, but shares that on a regular day he picked up breakfast for Ahmri, and then checked for visitors to the village. They got a lot--more than the rest of the Marches, at least--because of 丰收谷's comparatively more temperate climate and good growing season. In the summer, they'd frequently get traders from Jassira; he bought the rugs that decorate his lodge from them, as well as learned to read from them, both to read Tiki's letters, and for Ahmri's sake.

On a regular day, he'd follow this up with gossiping with the villagers, or playing with the children. The 勇者 observes that it seems like he enjoyed his life, and Taldahs agrees but, stuttering, asserts that he doesn't regret his decisions.

Taldahs excitedly shares that he's been planning a way to take on the Marefolk Village, now that he has new 技能. The 勇者 quickly backpedals from the subject.

Taldahs shares that he once helped a 家庭 of Mecians clear a large boulder in front of one of their burrows, and they shared their dinner with him in thanks. He couldn't fit inside, so they ate in the foyer.

He doesn't have much to add, he says, since his duties didn't mean interacting with the Valley's other communities much, although they'd spare the manpower to help if anyone came asking, if they could.

The 勇者 responds to the Taldahs's monster's question with a question: what about his 家庭? Since Ahmri was young when Tiki left, they'd love to hear more about her. Tiki, Taldahs shares, was a visitor from the Far North who planned only to overwinter with the tribe, but whose 怀孕 changed her plans. She handled the unwelcome 雌性发情期 by swimming often, although she always slept close by Taldahs, regardless of the temperature. She always planned on leaving, though, and did so within a weak of Ahmri's weaning. Taldahs says he lacked the confidence to 询问她 to stay, although it might be different now, with his new 力量.

Taldahs shares that he gets packets of letters (around four) every month or two when tradesmen from the Far North make their way to 丰收谷. He's glad of them, and wants to continue their correspondence, but wants to see her again--and will, he says, when Kasyrra's power extends that far north.

Taldahs happily reminisces about their very active 性爱 life--which was frequent, in order to take advantage of their time together, and animalistic when Tiki's 怀孕 allowed. A bushel of throbbing, flared 鸡巴 appear from underneath the Taldahs beast, and the 勇者 thinks they should probably change the subject.

The 勇者 observes that it must have been hard raising Ahmri alone, and Taldahs corrects them: actually, having her around made his life better. He found meaning in being there for her, and even when he was unable to help with her coming of age, their relationship stayed strong. Ahmri tells him that he was always like a hero to her.

A network of cracks appears over the Taldahs beast's heart, connecting with the previous cracks. The 勇者 is sure they are close! This leads to the 收尾.

A network of cracks appears over the Taldahs beast's heart, searching for additional gaps. The 勇者 is sure they are close! This leads to the 收尾.

The 勇者 asks Taldahs for more details about his adventures, and he responds with eagerness, more than happy to share stories of his prowess. The 勇者 considers that to trip him up, they may have to ask about a 故事 he'd be unfamiliar with telling.

The 勇者 asks for another 故事 from Taldahs's time as Chief, and he responds by telling them about the time he went to take a bath in a small pool, only to find it was a 黏液 elemental in need of additional energy. The elemental took the form of a centauress, and he fucked her until it could make at least one other core--if not two--and helped it back to the lake. He muses that that 黏液's form probably influenced his current form, and that he should go back to the lake.

The Taldahs monster recounts a time when a giant scorpion took over a cave with a temple to Sorra, and he and several other village 半人马 dealt with the beast. Although they could not fight it 头部 on, nor make it through the small back entrances, they used a barrel of flaming pitch to distract and disable the scorpion, and then Taldahs was able to spear it in the 头部. He happily remembers the cheers, and 注释 that he could probably take on a scorpion all by himself, in his new form.

Taldahs stutters, and says there probably isn't anything from that time that the 勇者 would want to hear about.

The 勇者 asks about the cooking mishap Ahmri told them about, and the Taldahs beast rolls his eyes in amusement. Ahmri spilled the batter over the entire lodge, he explains, but at the time, he thought it was the funniest thing he'd ever seen. It was a bigger mishap than she said--she kept trying to make additional cakes.

Taldahs absently wishes he could go back in time in order to 帮助她 fail to bake a cake, and a split cracks open from his bellybutton to his chest.

The 勇者 doesn't have any particular examples to ask about, so they'll have to look for another way forward.

The Taldahs beast stamps his 足部 and asks the 勇者 once more why he took power, if not for glory. The 勇者 has the answer: For Ahmri. The fight drains from Taldahs as he processes the 勇者's words.

Taldahs recoils, and then falls to his knees as the 腐化 falls from him. He's revealed to be a strong middle-aged 半人马, if a little pale from lack of sun. He stamps at the blue clumps of 腐化 as it tries to worm away, yelling that he will keep his daughter safe without Kasyrra's lies.

He narrows his eyes and approaches the 勇者, but a lancing network of cracks interrupts his approach, and he staggers. Taldahs isn't free of the 腐化, but the 勇者's words at least made some impact. They'll need to fight him to help his true self break through!

机制

---

Some dialogue options cause the 勇者 to lose 生命值 and some cause them to regain it. To explore the 机制 and the full victory 指南, see the 窝藏逃犯: 对话战斗 机制.

实体战斗

---

The 勇者 can choose to fight Taldahs by selecting Attack before starting the 对话战斗, or anytime before reaching the 收尾. Doing so triggers the Corrupt Village end of Harboring a Fugitive. They also fight Taldahs if they did not 交谈 to Ahmri about Stories at the beginning of the 任务.

The 勇者 doesn't have time for this. They tell Ahmri to go hide, and muse that the village would be better off under their control. Taldahs welcomes the direct attack, and tells the 勇者 he will give them to Kasyrra--or keep them for himself.

Ahmri begs for the 勇者 to reconsider, but when they do not, she dashes off. Taldahs takes an intimidating stance, triggering 战斗 with the 勇者.

If the 勇者 is victorious, Taldahs staggers and falls to the ground for the final time. The 勇者, pleased, heads off to introduce the rest of the village to their new boss.

After the 勇者 partially purifies the Taldahs monster through conversation, the 腐化 半人马, visibly jerking around in internal struggle made external, calls his spear to himself, triggering 战斗 with the 勇者.

If the 勇者 is victorious, Taldahs denounces Kasyrra, and he and the 勇者 destroy the remnants of crystallized 腐化 that fell from his body. Ahmri gives him a huge hug, and he wonders how he could have been so blind. The 勇者 tells him it's Kasyrra's fault, and with his 领导力, he could help save his village from her influence. He agrees, and tells the 勇者 to come with him, in order to have backup. As he, Ahmri, and the 勇者 头部 into the village, the 勇者 注释 that the structures, while damaged, seem repairable; the village's goods are the greatest losses.

坏结局

---

If the 勇者 loses to Taldahs in the 对话战斗 or in 实体战斗, they are enveloped and penetrated by the 触手群 covering Taldahs until they lose the will to 抗性. See the Eternity of 触手群 坏结局.

战后

净化村庄

---

The 勇者 follows Taldahs through the 半人马村落 as he convinces Genova, Eubicha, and the majority of the warband to abandon Kasyrra's goals with compassion, 力量 and belief in his people.

After most of the village returns, he sets them to restoring the village, which happens with startling quickness--by the next night, Taldahs decides to throw a 队伍, in order to celebrate his people's survival and to raise morale. See Harboring a Fugitive for more details.

互动

Taldahs can only be encountered again in the purified Centaur Village, as he is killed and removed from the game in the 腐化 village playthrough.

Taldahs is found on the tile just north of the village's center. The 首次 the 勇者 approaches him, they'll find him chatting with other villagers at the bakery. When he splits away to talk to the 勇者, he'll share that it's odd to be adjusting back to normalcy, but that talking with other members of the tribe helps both him and them. On 后续 visits, the 勇者 will track his loud, outgoing voice to find him.

Taldahs's menu depends on the 勇者's relationships with, and decisions about, other residents of the Village: if the 勇者 has married Ahmri or turned her down, and killed the Behemoth, Taldahs's menu only includes the 外貌 option.

选项	Requirement	提示
外貌	-	看看 at the chieftain.
Behemoth	Spared 巨兽	Ask about the whereabouts of 巨兽. It's not like he could have gone far without being noticed.
Wedding	Talked to Ahmri about romance Got flowers from the cliff	Speak to Taldahs about 与Ahmri结婚. You've got the flowers, what's next?

巨兽

---

In the purified 半人马村落, the 勇者 can ask Taldahs about the Behemoth's whereabouts if the 勇者 spared the 腐化 半人马 during Harboring a Fugitive. Taldahs shares that the tribe's shamans are keeping him sedated, unwilling to kill him while he sleeps. The 勇者 asks if it would be possible to move him while he's still asleep, and Taldahs says yes, and the village would be very happy to have him gone. He asks if the 勇者 has a plan. With that, the 勇者 has two options:

选项	提示
AlaruneGarden	Yes, actually — the Alraune's garden would be the perfect 地点 to keep 巨兽.
Not Now	You can't think of anywhere you'd want this guy at the moment.

The 勇者 shares that they do have a place for 巨兽: the Alarune's garden. Taldahs is more than happy to help move the 腐化 半人马 out of the village, and he, the 勇者, and six other 半人马 manage to transport 巨兽 all the way there. See Behemoth for details.

The 勇者 can't think of anywhere at the moment. Taldahs is understanding, but clearly would like relief from the pressure of keeping the dangerous 半人马 sedated.

与Ahmri结婚

---

To marry Ahmri, the 勇者 must talk to Taldahs twice, both using the Wedding option from his menu. In the first conversation, Taldahs is very supportive and explains the process: the 勇者 should pick one of the red or blue everblossom flowers growing on the 郊外 of the Village, present the flower to Ahmri, and pick a date. It's a simple 仪式, although he recommends that the 勇者 do it earlier rather than later.

He then shares that for (at least this tribe of) 半人马, monogamy is not expected or requested--both the 勇者 and Ahmri are free to have other relationships, although she probably won't--and tells the 勇者 to come back after they've asked Ahmri officially.

After asking Ahmri and picking their flower of choice, the 勇者 must return to Taldahs to 进度 the wedding celebrations, by choosing Wedding from his menu again. When Taldahs sees the flowers in the 勇者's 手部, he excitedly tells Mars to go ask Genova to prepare for a wedding, and then tells the 勇者 all they need to do is give Ahmri the flower, and prepare for a really big hug. He then leaves to go help Genova with the wedding preparations.

See Ahmri's Marriage for details.

腐化半人马村落

Taldahs is not available, as the 勇者 killed him to gain control of the 腐化 village.
