Twisted Oaths ~ Lake Celestine: 9:43 Dragon (OOC discussion) *full group*

Regarding a chantry board- this seemed like a sensitive mission, that it wouldn't be open to just any random adventurerers? Did I miss some discussion somewhere while I was marathoning ME3?

My gal is a soloist who ends up in a group. I think she would probably track the kidnappers to the city they were brought to- but lose the ability to follow when everyone foot prints mix together closer to civilization.

But this depends more in- where did these kidnappers go to bring their victims? Where should I be losing the trailing the kidnappers, dragontartare ? If they'd never drag them into Velum, but to some other place, I should lose the trail there.

I like the trail getting muddled near the village. I also like your explanation for why the Chantry Board, but don't know how it could be a first post. 

I'll just tag everyone to read your explanation.

Does that sort of make sense?

Personal reasons.

Story summary for the first round of posts, based on what you all have said about your characters. Just want to make sure the details are ironed out (and that I understood you properly!) so no one finds themselves railroaded. If anything at all needs to be changed so that your character fits in the way you want, please let me know!

1st post (NPC Sister Nenet and NPC dwarf Bhegan, posted by me): Sister Nenet is reading correspondence from Leliana (or an agent thereof) pertaining to missing mages from the Montsimmard circle and thinking about what could be happening, when she hears a pounding on the door to her office. She opens the door to find a dwarf there to re-introduces himself as Bhegan. He has been in town almost two months, waiting for his brother to come through town. His brother is a merchant whose route takes him through Velun on the way to Val Royeaux, and the two brothers had agreed to meet here in early spring as the last of the snows thaw. He has not come, and Bhegan is beginning to panic. Sister Nenet is concerned, but has no news for him. She agrees to post a notice on the chantry board, though, offering a reward for information as to the caravan's whereabouts. Bhegan slumps off to the inn to wait for news.

2nd post (dwarf rogue Myanna under a pseudonym, played by me, with Sister Nenet as needed): Myanna has been tracking a caravan of lyrium that was due to arrive in Val Royeaux a month ago and never made it. She found traces of the caravan south of town, and has ventured into town to listen for news. She sees the new posting on the chantry board and, on a hunch, goes into the chantry to talk to Sister Nenet and gather more information.

3rd post (Ax, played by GoldenGail3 , with Sister Nenet as needed): Ax wanders into town after slaughtering a demon terrorizing a local farm (is this ok, instead of darkspawn? I'm thinking all the murders and blood magic would lure demons to the area). It is very unusual for the demon to have been there at all. He sees the new notice on the chantry board and goes inside the chantry to investigate. He speaks with Sister Nenet about the posting, who answers his questions and then points him toward the rogue who had just been in to talk to her.

4th post (Elaith, played by smilesja , with Sister Nenet as needed): Elaith wakes up on her way to town in the back of a wagon. After getting off the wagon, she sees the posting on the chantry board and goes into the chantry to investigate. Nenet, somewhat amused by this point, speaks with her and directs her to the other two adventurers who'd already asked about the posting.

5th post (Edmund, played by @tzeenchianapostrophe , with Sister Nenet or other NPCs as needed): fights off an attempted kidnapping and...?

6th post (Ashara, played by phoray , with NPCs as needed): tracks missing Dalish mages to somewhere outside Velun, where the trail gets muddled. Follows someone (?) into town after overhearing something about other missing people

So when are we going to begin?

Is anyone's character well-versed in alchemy? I'm coming up with ideas of what kinds of evidence we need to find.
