Plotting for: Scout the Western Approach

[sistertohermen]

Looks like our deets are here. This all sounds...potentially bad! Let's see how much worse it gets by having this group of assholes try to pose as merchants. Totally inconspicuous!

What are you talking about? They can totally pull this off!

Please note: the mage is not a healer.

[aggregiopavali]

Because Fenris is totally inconspicuous.

[snarksman]

Ahh, thank you for doing this! I was just about to.

Also Clint would like to point out he does great at impersonating a merchant! Well, semi-great. Barely passable.

They're totally screwed. lol

Hey, he will have you know that he's a great actor!

Regarding the recruit, Chette is all for just leaving her behind for the sake of the mission. ...Unless she has some kind of sob story about her family, cuz she's an absolute sucker for shit like that.

We should probably also at least try talking our way out of any Venatori notice, because I don't think slit throat, arrow to the eyeball, or ripped out hearts look like animals did it. (Well, maybe we could work with heart-ripping...) But lol who's going to be broken up about kicking some Venatori ass if it comes to that.

[salvatore_underfoot]

Sal will not want to turn the warden over, but will probably go with whatever the majority wants. He will be pouty and moody if it is not what he wants.

I second trying to talk their way out of as many conflicts as they can.

[aggregiopavali]

Did someone mention heart ripping? That he can do easily.

However, he's going to struggle to actually talk with any Venatori. He knows what they are, and can't bear them. Someone may have to sit him down, telling him in words of one syllable why they shouldn't just kill them all on sight...

[sistertohermen]

Rogue. Scout. If they know we are here now then we can't beat them. :|

[aggregiopavali]

Yeah, words like that should work!

[highwaywarrior]

Dismas would probably argue to bring her along, if not just as a meat shield/bargaining chip should things get dicey.

NOTE

We've added an addendum to your quest information. Here it is a second time for convenience:

In addition to the player characters, you can choose to have up to three NPCs participate in this scouting mission. NPCs must be Inquisition members (or hired help) and cannot have any skills or information that would be remarkable for your run-of-the-mill Inquisition scout. The purpose of these NPCs is mostly to give you someone to kill off. (:D) They can also do grunt work (e.g., if it would be stupid not to leave someone behind to keep watch but no players want their characters to stand there twiddling thumbs) and advise characters who aren't used to scouting or stealth on any basic skills they may be lacking.

Whether you use the NPCs, what their names and personalities are, and what happens to them is up to the group.

Oh nice! We have fodder! I mean... helpers. :)

I did make a log post for things here, which we can always backdate things to, but I'd at least like to have decisions for what we all did so we know what to report when we're back at skyfall skyhold
