Plotting Post: Guarded in Riddles

[pinprick]

WHO: Wardns
WHERE: Ansbrg
WHEN: Bloomingtimes



SUMMARY: The Marcher Wardens have been contacted, and have written for our Wardens to come meet with them ASAP. ASAP later, a Wardenteam goes to Ansburg to meet with them.

And...they are made extremely welcome, as long-lost brothers who have at last come home to respite and sanctuary.

The Ansburg Wardens are happy to interact, share information, and make connections with our Wardens. They have things we need. They want to know what it's been like. Every single PC, in fact, is going to be personally engaged by an NPC if they are hanging back, or swept into a group if not. It's like a homecoming, if home was a bunch of strangers just a little too invested in sucking you in.

If your character has a special interest, or if you want something unique to do but can't think of something, let us know.

Ultimately, Ansburg Wardens make it clear that they want our Wardens to be fully integrated, with a small group left behind to be liaison with the Inquisition, reporting back to Ansburg with information on the Inquisition's efforts and intentions. It's not shady at all.

After the meeting, there will be a discussion among our Wardens as to what the fuck that was, and what to do about it.

[ichaer]

... and someone please stop her from throwing a fancy drink at someone

[blightedson]

People being way, way too nice as if they are plotting something behind your back...

No, this feels exactly like home for Felix. ;)

Oghren just wants to know if they have good booze. That's what is really important here.

[unbrokenoath]

Wardens are reliable BY DEFAULT (unless they're blood mages) and nice Wardens are EXTRA RELIABLE

WHY ARE YOU GUYS SO DOUBTFUL THE WARDENS ARE NOBLE AND GOOD AND JUST

Anyway Kaisa will think this is great and be super pumped and probably vote for staying there because seriously guys aren't you tired of the awkward grey space we're occupying, not quite members of the Inquisition but not quite not members?? Also remember when they constantly prioritized other things rather than helping us when Wardens were being literally murdered by the dozen????

Also: They kicked us out of their tree house.

[justice_is_blond]

But their tree house was so cold.

[unbrokenoath]

Like the piece of mud they kicked us out into was any better.

Alistair is naturally skeptical, that's why his eyes are like that, but

(A) He will probably not be openly wary of Ansburg Wardens and just do what he does to everyone where he smirks a lot and it isn't clear if he's being friendly or just humoring everyone and

(B) He will think people who immediately think they're up to something are being a little extreme and paranoid, calm down, maybe if all of you were more charming people you'd be more used to people being nice to you!!!! but

(C) Squint

[justice_is_blond]

This is gonna be creepy. Especially if he gets a warm welcome. Anders is going to be weirded out, but while there he'll try to see if they have any records of healing attempts for victims of the Blight, anything along efforts of curing it, along with any info on people who have survived it for a prolonged time.

[failedfirst]

Velanna is going to assume that someone is about to kill them and probably be extra prickly what else is new nothing that's what.

[sunshinethroughgrey]

Bethany is going to be super happy to meet friendly wardens who are here to help, and talk to her about cures for the Blight, and why they are asking so many questions ... about the Inquisition ... and what they're doing ...

Hm.
