[dashing]

Background.
Last year, Thranduil and Cassandra made a grisly discovery of the origins of Occularum. To follow up, Wren and Herian want info on Tranquil that have gone missing.

Shady rumours lead to a remote Circle in the Northern Anderfels. Its relative isolation from the rest of Thedas has prevented news from reaching the Inquisition sooner.


So what’s happening?
Wren, Herian & up to five lucky winners go on a ROAD TRIP to the Anderfels to investigate.

Because the Inquisition has a garbage reputation there right now, it will require some discretion IC. There will be Venatori stuff, Tranquil stuff, maybe some Darkspawn stuff, a commitment to #aesthetic — and maybe some bits and pieces of history to piece together for future plots. Hopefully it’ll be cool!! If not, lie to us.

( And your character gets to hang out with Wren and Herian, who are both so famous for their super chill party banter. )

If there’s more interest than there are slots, we’ll be selecting participants for a rounded party.


Timeline.
This mission will be happening sometime in the latter half of March.

I may not have the answers, but I'll pretend I do.

[galvanising]

Character: Nell
Skills: Killin
Interest in this: You mean besides her two biggest fans in the Inquisition going?? She'd be interested in finding out who's been killing Tranquil, and could also be dragooned into it for actually speaking Ander.
Are they a cake or a pie person? Pie
Any other notes? But like savory pies primarily. Fruit too of course but it's not like you'd want a wild game cake, is it?

[dashing]

the anderfels speciality, wild game cake

[galvanising]

it doesn't taste of despair. it doesn't need to.

[faithlikeaseed]

Character: Myr
Skills: Being a nerd
Interest in this: [gestures at Tranquil buddy frantically]
Are they a cake or a pie person? Cake, but it's cheesecake full of bay leaves.
Any other notes? Caveat for, well, we know how busy I am so I should be bottom of the priority list if there are more than five dudes along for the ride.

[dashing]

when you say "full of bay leaves" what i hope you mean is that it's got a note on top saying "bae, leave this cake alone, its mine"

[faithlikeaseed]

[sulena]

Character: Saoirse
Skills: A not-killin mage who specializes in killin magics
Interest in this: This group obviously needs a sunshine optimist or two, also to comment on how terrible Herian is at being discrete much like she is at hiding
Are they a cake or a pie person? Unironically loves fish and egg pie
Any other notes? all about that #aesthetic

[dashing]

and KILLIN IT ON THE DANCE FLOOR

[sulena]

THIS IS TRUE killer moves and killer tunes

[dashing]

cut to Saoirse, holding a martini, swearing that fish and egg pie is the ultimate hangover cure

[foundmyselfagain]

Character: Gareth
Skills: Heavily combat-oriented mage, great at making people uncomfortable, a little too comfortable with blood and the magical use thereof (though this...probably won't come up)
Interest in this: He's curious, and he has Feelings about the Tranquil. Also he's never been to the Anderfels, it sounds cool.
Are they a cake or a pie person? Cake
Any other notes? road trip, road trip, road trip

[dashing]

I am like imagining Gareth so excited about getting to travel somewhere new!!! and then seeing it and being like eAe

eAe what the shit is this

[foundmyselfagain]

smh the rest of the world is just as shitty as kirkwall, FIGURES

[dashing]

also: running gag of Gareth handling suspiciously blood-like substances whenever he is on a mission with Herian

mission involves a chase through a bakery, Gareth accidentally knocks over a vat of raspberry coulis

[tar_minyatur]

sob if Elros is not ghosty damnit I'd love to go XD

[dashing]

I think the mods have stated that any effects of the sickness will be over by then, so you can definitely sign him up.

[tar_minyatur]

~excellent~

Character: Elros
Skills: he is actually trained in diplomacy, which Herian will remember from when he talked to the King after the dragon fight! Also, he's a damn good fighter, and he is a decent healer in the herbs and bandages fashion
Interest in this: Herian is going, therefore it sounds like fun, even if she cannot promise him another dragon
Are they a cake or a pie person? Both. Both are good.
Any other notes? Elros says "plz take me out I'm going stir crazy babysitting the fosterdads"

[byblow]

Character: Alistair
Skills: Wardenin, knock-off discount Templarin
Interest in this: He owes Herian a solid; he would be interested in scoping out a new region of the Anderfels for Warden reasons; if there's a risk of Blight or darkspawn and he knew about it in advance he would be pretty insistent about them taking someone if not him.
Are they a cake or a pie person? Cake. Small ones, so you can have more than one kind at once.
Any other notes? We have some faceless young NPC Wardens residing at Griffon Wing Keep & Valeska's Watch in Orlais, so if you wind up wanting to take five people and none of them are Wardens and for safety's sake one should be, we can always loan you a red shirt. You can even kill them off.

[circleprodigy]

Character: Inessa Serra
Skills: Rift Mage/Necromancer, Ice magic, entropy magic, mabari wrangler
Interest in this: She's a former Circle mage so the fate of the Tranquil interests her, and as a Grey Warden, she can handle darkspawn.
Are they a cake or a pie person? Cake
Any other notes? Those tiny cakes are the only things Orlais got right.

[tactical_alert]

Character: Malcolm Reed
Skills: Seekering, setting things with lyrium in them on fire (file under: seekering), swording, arrowing, being a sneaky shit, being careful about his words, puppy whisperering, squinting
Interest in this: Tranquil stuff, discretion stuff, #aesthetic stuff--no but if hinky shit is happening with tranquil that's probably bad news bears
Are they a cake or a pie person? both, fight me
Any other notes? (it's because he's a fan of fruit tbh so put fruit in those cakes)

[crowncitizen]

Character: Prompto
Skills: Being a ray of sunshine! Killing things from a distance! Being a persistent optimist! And uh, photography? Also he's a scout for what it's worth
Interest in this: 1) because Herian 2) because someone said roadtrip 3) if someone actually explains to him what's going on he'll be horrified and want to help because he's a Good
Are they a cake or a pie person? Both???
Any other notes? He's going to be That Person who starts playing car road trip games along the way, including but not limited to "I Spy", "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall", etc.

[in_death_sacrifice]

Character: Kain
Skills: Grey Warden, so let him at those darkspawn... also a warrior with the Reaver specialization.
