Player Plot: Smoke and Mirrors

[minrathousian]

WHO: Atticus Vedici, the Division Heads + anyone else with a vested interest in participating.  HOW MANY: In Perendale, 9-10 PCs, supported by Inquisition and Nevarran NPCs. In Kirkwall, 4-5 PCs (excluding division heads + Atticus), and 3-4 Venatori infiltrator NPCs. OPEN/CLOSED: The Perendale section of the log is open; the Kirkwall section is closed. WHERE: In Kirkwall (the Gallows and the city), and in/around the Nevarran city of Perendale.  WHEN: Early November.  The Inquisition has verified intelligence indicating a major Venatori offensive is to be launched against the Nevarran city of Perendale. Forces are being dispatched from both Skyhold and Kirkwall to support Perendale; losing this city to Corypheus' forces would be a major loss for the Inquisition, and further destabilize the region. For those who remain behind in Kirkwall, however, another problem has come to light. Over the course of the past few months, Venatori agents have infiltrated the Inquisition's operations in Kirkwall. It is unclear how much intelligence they have gathered, but it is very likely that they will leverage the reduced manpower at the Gallows to make a grab for more sensitive, protected information. The infiltrators need to be first identified, and then stopped.  This plot will involve plenty of fighting, sneaking, interrogating, and opportunities for characters to build CR with each other en route to Perendale. There will also be opportunities for those in Kirkwall to interact with the source of this intelligence, the imprisoned magister, Atticus. NOTES:  The Perendale leg of the plot is open to anyone interested in participating. You don't need to comment to participate, but please do so anyway so I can gauge interest. Sign-ups are required for the Kirkwall section; it should also be noted that the only characters involved in tracking down and confronting the infiltrators should be quite experienced in their various disciplines. This won't be a job for green rookies!
