Pack your gear, you're headed to Orlais! Unfortunately, their intermediary to the Comte Pronovost will not be happy to see them.
It seems that Comte Pronovost's extremely savvy new business partner is Roger Deschamps, a man whose own livelihood previously literally melted away once a particular Tevinter pyramid-shaped artifact was recovered from the Emprise du Lion. Deschamps has cleverly cut a deal with the Orlesian army so they will clear out the darkspawn in exchange for a cut rate on lumber supplies for shipyards in the south still under water (metaphorically speaking) from the loss of Val Chevin. Unfortunately for Deschamps, Orlais can only spare a small contingent of soldiers and so has outsourced oversight of the work to Riftwatch in exchange for cutting them in on their agreed upon contract rate. Deschamps will be...unenthusiastic about this development.
Riftwatch's goal will be to a) help clear the forest of darkspawn ideally without somehow ruining Deschamps' prospects YET AGAIN, and b) recover clues regarding the red-lyrium in play. They will have the assistance of a small contingent of npc Orlesian soldiers to help them clear the forest, and over the course of the mission Holden, Ellis and Edgard will be able to discover that the red-lyrium blighted darkspawn all seem to have been purposefully implanted with red lyrium.
While the growth patterns of the lyrium are unique, each darkspawn's lyrium growths seems to radiate from the chest cavity and is not wholly dissimilar from the implant technique used on Berenike's mummy.
Try not to burn down the forest; we need that lumber for future plot hooks. Otherwise, you're free to get creative with the above. Please include a summary of your adventures in your report which is due September 19th.
