Player Plot Signups: The Order's Obligations
WHO: Aleron, PC/NPC Templar characters, and OPEN
HOW MANY: 8-10 depending on sign ups and interest. Up to 12 if interest is high.
OPEN/CLOSED: Open
WHERE: Perendale
WHEN: August 15-20
Funtimes based on this war table mission.
SUMMARY: Inquisition Templars go to find out why mages are locked up in the old Circle. Find out they are scared stupid for their lives because the locals are suspicious. Group safely (hopefully!) escorts them back to Skyhold, after a minor run in with the locals who are still afraid of the mages.
TL;DR Explains!
Word has been passed along of a questionable situation in Perendale. There's been a call for Templars to step in and do something about the highly suspicious mages who have barricaded themselves in their old Circle tower. Clearly they've done so for nefarious reasons and the locals want them flushed out before they can work whatever mischief they are up to.
Aleron will be heading up an investigative party to ascertain what's truly going on in Perendale with intentions to extract or contain (if called for) the mages in question. PC Templars are encouraged to volunteer for the trip, should their sense of obligation demand they assist. (If not, NPCs will be assumed along for the ride.)
The truth of the matter is that the locals are superstitious and suspicious and the mages are, in fact, scared for their lives, and having no other place to go, locked themselves up in the only place they know. There will be three segments to the plot and the party makeup and character actions will influence outcome. Part One will involve checking out the local populace to get a feel for what's truly going on. Part Two will involve interaction with the mages. Part Three will be on the road out of town, dealing with a group of the locals who have more mob mentality than they have sense, and will require keeping the mages safe. It will be a minor scuffle, however.
NPC mage reaction in Part Two will reflect the war table mission in relation to the overall party makeup. An even blend of Inquisition agents with soldiers and Templars will be met at the gates with relief and gratitude. Having 2/3 of the total showing being soldiers+Templars will cause a mildly hostile greeting which can be countered easily with parlay. A 3/4 majority soldiers+Templars in the group will have the mages openly hostile at the door requiring that their defenses be removed so they can be escorted safely away. For the non-violence outcome, mages and other base agents are encouraged to join. As a note, the mages in the tower are not actually violent, just frightened, and will be happy to relocate to somewhere safe.
Signups will be open until August 10th at midnight Pacific and participants will be picked by RNG. An IC announcement will be made on August 11th asking for volunteers with an immediate departure in two days. If a full group of 12 signs up, a secondary smaller party of six will be sent in to the tower to extract the mages with the other six laying low at a distance if backup is needed. Everyone is welcome to chat up the locals for information.
