My holiday is about to start, I might have time to post but it really depends on the weather there.

Tyrus is going to suggest to bring the apostate to Ferelden's beloved Templars as soon as possible. He doesn't really care about the others and sees little to no use in trying to get the farmhands and the others arrested. We might also want to visit the farm we just came from, after all we brought their brother back.
He'll happily take any coin given and spend a little in the local watering hole. After the experience in the farmer's house he wants some good wine.

You all would recognize this reference to the grove north of Lothering. Fenwithe similarly invoked the grove area when he mentioned a "night at the crossroads."



Verifying the scrap as belonging to a dress of Erinn's should be easy enough. At least one of the women of the homestead should know where Fancy's belongings were kept. (The shift she was wearing today was light, but colored.)

Thanks, missed that somehow.

I'm back!
Gonna need a day though before I can post.

Erin just left ;)
Fost knows she'd be most def shocked so he waited.

NOT(!) to exclude the player!
But because my character knows Erin to object

Ha! Nice. Makes sense from a roleplaying perspective

Yeah I don't mind that at all. : )

Maybe Erin can return and join the conversation... or break it up.

I was hoping to find the elder (or whatever passes for that here) to arrange a few things and then look for that stuff I was told to fetch. :P

Then I think the GM can move the plot forward

And, yes, that's on me. I completely forgot Erin was going to work on that. My apologies. I'll get something written up for her today.

I made a few minor edits to Erin's post, (just thems to yous) since she was talking to Mairet & Garreth. :)

Okay, don't post in the thread just yet.

First thing I need to know is: Does anyone intend to stop Nolan?

Please answer yes or no, and, if yes, whether the attempt is verbal or physical.

Wendoll won't do anything on his own, but will help physically restrain Nolan if someone else is attempting to do that.

Yes, I do, physically.

Why? Because one year back it was my understanding that Fancy only appeared in Fenwithe's dreams... not physically, not posessing Erinn.
Hence I sniff a ruse of Nolan and want that point cleared with Fenwithe.
I do suspect Nolan to be in this after all... not innocent

Just a little clarification on that point, since I know you're new to the Dragon Age milieu.

When mortals dream*, they are connected to the Fade, where spirits reside. For most folk, this is a fleeting connection that usually results in impressions being left in the Fade, and also in their own memories. For mages, however, because they have a stronger connection to the Fade through their manipulation of arcane energy, this is a deeper interaction that can lead to getting lost in the Fade (and never waking up in the real world) or being possessed by a demon (being turned into an abomination).

These, of course, may not be things Fost understands. What he does understand is that demons do cross over from the Fade (and cause all sorts of havoc) and they can possess mortals.

* Dwarves don't dream, and can't make a connection to the Fade. (As such, they can't be mages.)

No
I assume Tyrus would not be paying attention
Though I'm glad that Fost is trying to stop him

In reply to Evil GM (msg # 68):

Hmm, but Erinn is not a mage herself, is she?
Well, whatever.
Fost was suspicious of Nolan from the beginning, I'm going to remain so :D

To Fost's understanding, Erinn is not a mage. As Fancy, she fought like a warrior.

Just want to get a Erin's input on whether she tries to stop Nolan.

Oh, I thought I didn't even count for that. You know, carrying all the stuff and what not.

Anyhow, don't think I will since Fost is already on the case.

I think I'd like to change my answer. While Tyrus would probably notice Fost trying to stop him, he'd already have called out.
I'll call out and try to stop Nolan using my voice.
I'll have to roll I assume?

Tyrus Morven rolled 13 using 3d6+2 with the AGE System with rolls of {6}, 1, 4.  communication.
I have a couple of foci...focuses? Though they're not applicatable here.

Admittedly, bit thick on the fluff side ;). It's not as if it's truly that overwhelming.

Am good with the farmers doing the watch but Fost will check on them regularly to keep them on their toes.
He really, really does not want Fenwithe to escape.
Still undecided on Fost's path and Templar could be within reach if I recall correctly. Thus it's more a fluff thing than anything else, i.e. making an impression on the Lothering templars and/or Church.

For some reason, I didn't get the little new posts indication thingy. Anyway, I think we are ready to get in motion.

Experience is forthcoming, and I didn't mention payment in the opening narration, but you folks were hired to do the work. The agreed fee was 600 silver (150 each). A narration on the reward is also forthcoming.

I just wanted to give you folks a chance to interact at the party before moving to the next day.
