Desperate to save herald, A2and Connor leave the hotel and trek through miles of plains until reaching a mountain pass.

*walks with the scout in silence, trying to figure out a non-lethal way of ditching him*
-
All of a sudden your small group is attacked by ghostly spectral figures. The guard draws his sword and rushes the figures while urging you to run. "Fly you fool."
-
*Meddlesome conscience prompts me to instead stay and fight. I experimentally try to siphon energy from one of the shades, hoping that it will accomplish something and that the scout won't notice*
-
You succeed in drawing power from the shade allowing you to control it. The shade is drawing back it's arrow and shoots the remaining shade about to kill the scout. Then the shade crumbles into dust.
-
*blinks a little at the unexpected results, but decides not to look this particular gift horse in the mouth* *turns to the scout to see if he noticed*
-
The scout gets up from off the ground and surveys his surroundings. He looks at you in awe. What are you?
-
*shrugs* Honestly? More trouble than I'm worth. You should go rejoin your group; apparently I can handle myself out here. Thank you for your guidance. *beckons Conner and turns to leave*
-
Inquisition forces? I've never heard of them.
-
They are professional demon hunters. When my kind comes through the fade rifts, they are very confused to be in this plane of existence. Thus they lash out in terror and are killed by the Inquisition. We can't tell them why we are here or they will attack us. You will need to make up a different story to tell them so we may get past them. [spoiler]Dragon Age Inquisition reference.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]never played it.[/spoiler] No pressure, huh? What are their detection capabilities? Will they notice your bond with Conner?
-
No they will not. However, they will notice the necklace so you will need to take it off me. There is no way around them so just walk up to their camp and put your hands in the air.
-
Got it. *pockets the necklace and approaches the camp*

Edited by Elder1Herald: 1/12/2015 6:34:40 PM*You approach the camp with your arms in the air. You notice six soldiers are gathered around a campfire and are playing cards. The card game stops as soon as they see you approach and some of them gather their weapons. A man with a fur cloak and probably the leader approaches you.* State your name and business stranger." His hand hovers over the sword hilt on his side ready to draw it in a flash if need be.*

[spoiler]*suddenly, a wild knight appears and f***s you, he was definately sent by Zantus! Because, REASONS* (Sarcasm)[/spoiler]

*to the man* My town was ransacked and burned; I know of no survivors. I--we *gestures to Conner* are only alive because we were away from home at the time. I'm on the way to my uncle's farm, in the south. Hopefully he will let me stay there while I...figure out what to do next. *casts eyes downward*
-
Edited by Elder1Herald: 1/12/2015 6:48:44 PM*The man looks at you uncertainly. He then looks toward one of the men behind him who whispers something in his ear. Once he has discussed things with the man, he says to you* "You are aware that to the south is full of spectral demons correct? We have set up this camp to await further reinforcements to deal with them. i am afraid it's just to dangerous for us to allow you to go wandering down there."
-
*eyes widen slightly* My lord, if it is as dangerous as you say, I [i]must[/i] pass; my uncle and his family are the only family I have left. I have to know that they, at least, are safe; I have to reach them. Please. I am not myself completely helpless, and his farm is not in the Deep South. I would not have to venture far beyond this pass.
-
The man strokes his beard in concentration. He then motions toward the man he was talking to earlier to come forward. "Varric I want you to escort this man to his uncles farm. Then I want you report back here" he turns to you "you may pass with my scout. Good luck.
-
*masks sigh of frustration as one of relief* Thank you, sir.

*obediently reaches the mountain pass* Now what?
-
Edited by Elder1Herald: 1/12/2015 5:27:56 PMThese mountains are blocking our passage. The only way to get past them will be by going through them. The problem is that a band of inquisition forces have put up a checkpoint here and we will have to go through it.
