At that point in the quest you should have 2Cost cards from every type (at least I did). Try Line of Reasoning, Snippet of Wisdom, Agressive Statement, Loud Criticism, Enticing Whisper.

If you have the +1 Flattery gloves at this point, you can get an early jump with the Line of Reasoning/Enticing Whisper combo. If they feed you anything after that you CAN use it. You have all 3 types of expression allowed at your disposal. They cannot "cheat" you.

Granted I haven't done the High Elf starter line since release, but that is how I did it.
