[OOC] The Sky is Falling!

[eolasemah]

Recently a rift opened in Skyhold itself. Although nobody saw it happen, it was rumored to have been opened by a mage native to Thedas and not one of the rifters.

There are damages to the courtyard from where buildings and vegetation have been singed and frozen and dented from the resulting demon battle. It looks a mess. This is a mess.

The purpose of this post is for general opinion gathering, rumormongering, and plotting for the fallout from this fiasco. If people can just open rifts wherever they want, what does this mean for the Inquisition? Can rifters do it, can regular mages do it? Why would someone within Skyhold and ostensibly part of the Inquisition do this in the first place? Why weren't snacks provided?

If you feel so inclined, reply with your character's reaction to the news (or the sight, or the battle) and what action they might want to take, if any. Plot, make CR, do the thing!

Cassandra won't be at all happy about any delays to questioning Sina, but will begrudgingly accept that the elf needs to at least be conscious and at least partially recovered in order for her to give any useful information.

She'll also question exactly who Nari is and why she needs to be present. Is she a healer? Is she responsible for Sina's care?

[nadasharillen]

Nari responds that she is Sina's clanmate and the safety and well being of the aforementioned mage was entrusted to her by their Keeper. She considers that to be her duty above all else.

[stabsbooks]

Cassandra can understand that, and will allow Nari to stay as long as she doesn't cause a distraction or try to interrupt her questioning.

[nadasharillen]

Nari agrees to do so. Although it's fairly obvious from her mien that should the questioning become hostile, she probably won't be sitting nicely.

[stabsbooks]

It won't be pleasant, but a mixture of guilt once she remembers that she questioned the Herald the same way and they turned out to be innocent + realizing that Sina is the last person to actually do anything bad by design will mean that things won't get too out of hand.

probably.
