After washing up on the shores of Par Vollen, Nadia and Drayden are tossed into a dark prison. With things looking grim, matters are only made worse when a dragon attacks the city, forcing a Qunari treasure hunter named Taash to step-up and battle the ferocious creature.
And here's the transcript for Dragon Age: Vows and Vengeance | Episode 5: The Scales of Justice.

DECLAN: We'll veer left up at the fork, by that kapok tree just ahead. Lord Mondraine?
0:23
LORD TRISTAN MONDRAINE: (grunting) I'm coming, I'm coming. (FOOTSTEPS) MONDRAINE: Oh, holy maker in a bread pan,
0:30
how does anyone survive this forsaken heat? DECLAN: (groans) I know it's a bit hot but- MONDRAINE: A bit hot?
0:36
It's like we're walking through a fog made of butter soup. DECLAN: It will be cooler as we head west.
0:43
MONDRAINE: It better be. DECLAN: It will. (PANTING) (FOOTSTEPS) MONDRAINE: Hold on, I thought the map said east.
0:49
What are you playing at? DECLAN: Oh relax, Taash says west, and if you know her
0:54
as well as I, you'd know to take her word over a map. MONDRAINE: (groans) Well, excuse me if I'm
1:00
not quite as taken with her as you are. (FOOTSTEPS) I've been on this muddy, oh, disgusting rock for weeks.
1:08
And the closest I've been to treasure is the gold I keep handing to you and that Qunari.
1:13
DECLAN: (groans) That Qunari is the reason you are still alive. Without her, we wouldn't have even been allowed
1:22
to step on these grounds. I would show more respect. (FOOTSTEPS) (PANTING)
1:28
MONDRAINE: (groans) She might be good with an ax, but ugh, she's leading us in circles.
1:33
If you ask me, her eggs are a little soft-boiled. DECLAN: Her treasure hunting is an art, Lord Mondraine.
1:39
And I assure you, her instincts are a thing of beauty.
1:45
MONDRAINE: No, Declan, actually real art is beautiful and she and this place are not!
1:52
DECLAN: And what would you have me do? Mutiny against my friend? MONDRAINE: (groans) I would have you fulfill
1:58
your obligation to your employer. I hired you to find me a treasure, so take me to it
2:03
or the masters of Val Royeaux will hear of this! And the Lords of Fortune will be a thing of the past
2:09
along with that animal you call a friend. DECLAN: I would be careful with your words.
2:14
MONDRAINE: Or what? TAASH: Or you're going to die, right here on this muddy, disgusting rock. MONDRAINE: Oh, Taash. (FOOTSTEPS)
2:22
I, uh, I, I thought you were scouting ahead. TAASH: I was, now I'm back.
2:29
MONDRAINE: You must excuse my tongue. I merely got a little heated. TAASH: Nah, you were an asshole.
2:35
(MONDRAINE SCOFFS) (DECLAN STIFLES A LAUGH) MONDRAINE: Right, well, I still stand by the rest of
2:40
my remarks. I want my treasure and I want it now! TAASH: So stop talking and start walking. MONDRAINE: Excuse me, do you know who you're speaking to?
2:48
I apologized once, but I shall not bend the knee to some filthy- (AX CLANGS) TAASH: Shh!
2:55
(MONDRAINE STAMMERS) MONDRAINE: Now, now listen, you, I am still an Orlesian Noble and a, ooh, revered member of the court.
3:04
You don't have to like me, but you do! TAASH: I don't like you, don't have to either.
3:11
You're weak, slow, and you're getting in my way! (AX CLANGS) MONDRAINE: What...what are you doing?
3:17
Put- put that ax down. You hear me? Put it- (SCREAMS) (TAASH GRUNTS)

Chapter Five: The Scales of Justice.
3:46
(WATER BUBBLES) (BIRD CHITTERS) MONDRAINE: What was that? What did you do? TAASH: Cleared a path to the treasure.
3:52
Shut up and listen. MONDRAINE: You mean we've been here the whole time? TAASH: We had to move with the sun. The shadows reveal the path to the Bloodfire.
3:59
MONDRAINE: Why didn't you say something? MONDRAINE: Oh! TAASH: I was busy. DECLAN: (groans) Like I said, better than any map.
4:08
(WATER SLOSHES) Well, are you coming? (WATER SLOSHES) MONDRAINE: Oh, into that stream?
4:16
It's more bog than bath water! DECLAN: I thought you were hot. (MONDRAINE GRUNTS)
4:24
(DECLAN CHUCKLES) MONDRAINE: Is this all a joke to you? TAASH: Shut up already, we're almost there. MONDRAINE: Almost where?
4:30
We're in the middle of a, oh, oh, damn swamp. I paid for the esteemed Lords (grunts) of Fortune
4:36
to lead me to the fabled ruins of Bloodfire Stones, sacred rubies and forged from the scales of a dragon.
4:44
(whimpers) And instead you've got me taking a mud bath! TAASH: If you don't relax, we're gonna feast on
4:50
Orlesian tongue. (ANIMAL ROARS) MONDRAINE: What was that? (MUSIC)
4:59
(FOOTSTEPS SQUELCHING)
5:05
(MONDRAINE GROANS) DECLAN: Taash, check out these stones. MONDRAINE: I don't like it here, it's eerie.
5:12
TAASH: Hold. (STOMPING) DECLAN: I think this is it, the summoning alter.
5:18
(TAASH SIGHS) (TAASH CHANTING IN FOREIGN TONGUE)
5:26
(TAASH CHANTING IN FOREIGN TONGUE) MONDRAINE: What are you whispering down there? DECLAN: Quiet! (TAASH CHANTING IN FOREIGN TONGUE) (MUSIC)
5:34
(TAASH CHANTING IN FOREIGN TONGUE) MONDRAINE: Andraste's tears! (laughs)
5:41
TAASH: Here's the Temple of the Lost Dragon. DECLAN: Oh, I never thought I'd see such a thing. MONDRAINE: (laughing) What are you imbeciles waiting for?
5:47
There's treasure to be had! TAASH: Lord Mondraine, wait! MONDRAINE: Wait for nothing. I've searched everywhere for these stones.
5:53
Now, we're finally here and I won't wait a second longer! (METAL CLANKS) What was that?
5:59
TAASH: You stepped on a trap, idiot. MONDRAINE: What? TAASH: Get down! (MONDRAINE GRUNTS) (ARROWS WHOOSHING) (ARROWS WHOOSING) (ALL GRUNTING)
6:10
TAASH: Anyone hurt? MONDRAINE: Oh, my arm! TAASH: Quiet! MONDRAINE: They shot my arm!
6:15
TAASH: Listen! MONDRAINE: I'm bleeding! DECLAN: I hear it too. MONDRAINE: I'm bleeding! TAASH: Shut up! DECLAN: Look, up at the trees, boulders!
6:23
TAASH: Another trap, step away from the center! MONDRAINE: Oh, Maker, I'm dying! (crying) DECLAN: Mondraine, move, now!
6:28
(ROPES SNAPPING) (BOULDERS LURCHING) MONDRAINE: Oh dear! (ROCKS CRASHING)
6:37
DECLAN: Dear mother! TAASH: Good riddance! DECLAN: Oh boy, you ever seen a man just pop like that?
6:45
TAASH: Yep. DECLAN: (laughs) Of course you have. You got a little, I don't know, spleen on your arm there.
6:52
TAASH: Ew, thanks. (DECLAN SIGHS) DECLAN: I don't suppose Val Royeaux is going to be happy
6:58
we let one of their nobles get splattered by a pair of boulders. TAASH: You suppose wrong. DECLAN: Come again?
7:04
TAASH: The court sent me a letter asking that Lord Mondraine regretfully and tragically finds himself unable to return to court.
7:11
DECLAN: The Orlesian Empire paid you to kill him? TAASH: No, it paid me to let him die.
7:16
DECLAN: Why didn't you tell me? TAASH: (laughs) The less you knew, the better off you were, just in case things went wrong. DECLAN: You did that for me, huh?
7:22
TAASH: Huh, don't let it get to your head. Now let's grab these Bloodfire Stones...Declan?
7:28
DECLAN: I really wish you would have told me about that letter, Taash. TAASH: Declan... DECLAN: I just couldn't stomach that fat slob
7:37
getting all the goods while we split the pennies he was paying us. TAASH: What did you do? DECLAN: I'm sorry, Taash, it's only business. (MUSIC)
7:44
QUNARI SOLDIER: Nobody move! DECLAN: Over here, the traitor is here! (TAASH GROANS) (QUNARI SOLDIER YELLS IN FOREIGN TONGUE) TAASH: Backstabbing swine!
7:50
QUNARI SOLDIER: You dare raise the ancient Temple of the Lost Dragon? Your actions are a disgrace to your people.
7:57
DECLAN: Yeah, Taash, not sure if you know this, but these are kind of sacred grounds. TAASH: Now you're really pissing me off! (grunts)
8:04
(THUD) (TAASH GRUNTS) QUNARI SOLDIER: Enough! Betrayal of one Qun is a crime against all Qun.
8:11
And you will answer for your crimes, dragon hunter. Human, many thanks for alerting us to this deception.
8:20
DECLAN: All in a day's work. Which reminds me, do you have my reward? (COINS JINGLE) (DECLAN GRUNTS)
8:26
(laughs) Well, I shall put this to good use in my village. I know it doesn't make up for her treachery,
8:32
but please know this will feed many children. QUNARI SOLDIER: Go now, back to your own lands.
8:38
TAASH: Enjoy your head while it's still attached, Declan. DECLAN: And yet you're the one under the blade, Taash.
8:44
See you around! (TAASH GRUNTS) (MUSIC)
8:50
(MUSIC)
8:56
(WATER DRIPS) (METAL BANGS) DRAYDEN KIEL: Hey! Hello?
9:03
I demand to speak with the ranking officer at once. My friend needs help!
9:09
(DRAYDEN SIGHS) (METAL CLANGS) Hello! I know you can hear me out there. (DOOR CREAKS)
9:20
QUNARI GUARD: Quit your barking, dog. DRAYDEN: Look at her, she's in bad shape. She needs help.
9:26
QUNARI GUARD: We sewed her wounds. DRAYDEN: But she needs healing, herbs, potions.
9:32
Her blood could be infected. QUNARI GUARD: And why would we waste our medicine on a pair of spying basra?
9:39
DRAYDEN: Oh, I told you, we weren't up to anything. We landed there by accident.
9:44
QUNARI GUARD: Oh, right, I suppose you just fell right out of the sky. DRAYDEN: That's exactly what happened!
9:50
QUNARI GUARD: Listen, one more outburst and we'll separate the two of you. This is your last warning.
9:56
(DOOR RUMBLES AND CREAKS SHUT) DRAYDEN: But! (groans)
10:03
(MOUSE SQUEAKS) DRAYDEN: Nadia? (NADIA WHIMPERS)
10:09
Nadia! Hey, it's me. I'm here, it was just a bad dream. Come on, breathe.
10:16
NADIA CARCOSA: Drayden. DRAYDEN: Easy there, let me help you onto this bench. There we go, nice and gentle.
10:22
NADIA: (coughs) Where are we? DRAYDEN: Par Vollen. NADIA: What, how did we wind up north in Qunari territory?
10:30
DRAYDEN: It would seem that Fade portal spit us deep into the archipelago right next to a camp of Qunari soldiers.
10:37
NADIA: Oh, please tell me you're kidding. DRAYDEN: I'm afraid not. NADIA: Ugh, oh. DRAYDEN: Hold on, let me fetch you some water.
10:43
You need to drink. (WATER SLOSHES) Here, take this.
10:49
(NADIA SLURPS) I've never seen anything like this place. They brought us inside some sort of pyramid.
10:56
We've been in this cell for two days. NADIA: (coughs) Two days? DRAYDEN: Your injuries were severe.
11:02
You've been asleep the whole time, shaking from nightmares. NADIA: My mind, it felt like I was stuck back in the Fade.
11:11
DRAYDEN: Yes, and as soon as you feel better, I want to talk to you more about that. I'm worried something may have happened to you
11:17
before Bellara and I caught up. NADIA: Wait, where is Bellara?
11:22
DRAYDEN: (stutters) I don't know. We jumped first. The tear was unstable. She said there was no guarantee
11:28
any of us would wind up in the same place. I just hope she made it.
11:33
I can't bear to think that she might have... NADIA: Died. DRAYDEN: I- I, Nadia.
11:39
NADIA: No, go ahead. DRAYDEN: Be careful. NADIA: You can say it. She might have died like Elio died.
11:44
Like everything in this flaming world is going to, because I took the Eye of Kethisca, because- DRAYDEN: Hey, hey, calm down.
11:51
I know you're upset, but you need to listen to me right now. NADIA: Listen to what? More of your fancy words?
11:57
Well, guess what? All the books in all of the lands won't bring back what I lost. DRAYDEN: Great Maker, I know you're hurt and broken,
12:04
but you push too far sometimes. It's not right the way you explode and thrust your pain upon everyone else.
12:10
NADIA: And what do you know of pain, of real loss? What, you think because people thought you were a peculiar child that you had it bad?
12:18
You think being a bit of an outcast can even compare to losing everyone you've ever cared for? DRAYDEN: Nadia, this isn't you.
12:25
Why are you being so cruel? NADIA: Because this is me! Don't you get it yet? I am irredeemable.
12:32
I'm a blight of pain and darkness. And if you allow yourself to get close to me, then you are going to die too.
12:38
Just like my parents and Vik and Elio, all of them. I can't lose anyone else, so just leave me alone.
12:46
(MUSIC) DRAYDEN: (sighs) You can hate me, Nadia.
12:51
You can yell at me or push me away. But you're not going to lose me, okay?
12:58
I am in this with you and we are going to finish it together. You are my friend, you stubborn ass.
13:04
And if you calm down for one second and listen, I could tell you that Elio isn't dead.
13:12
NADIA: What? DRAYDEN: There was nothing there, no body. When you pointed to Elio, I didn't see anything.
13:19
It was just the Fade messing with your mind. NADIA: No...no...I saw him die.
13:25
DRAYDEN: I warned you about this. It uses your memories, your feelings. The Fade will use everything against you.
13:32
NADIA: But it felt so real. DRAYDEN: I know how it seemed but he's- NADIA: He's...he's alive?
13:37
DRAYDEN: Yes, and as soon as we get out of here, we're going to keep hunting for the one behind it all.
13:44
NADIA: The Dread Wolf. DRAYDEN: The one and only. (DOOR RUMBLES)
13:52
(DOOR RUMBLES) (FOOTSTEPS) QUNARI GUARD: You two, step away from the door and
13:57
face the wall. DRAYDEN: Are those swords really necessary? QUNARI GUARD: They aren't for you.
14:03
(HEAVY FOOTSTEPS) In you go, traitor. TAASH: Yeah, yeah. (CHAINS RATTLING) QUNARI GUARD: And don't try anything.
14:11
Soldier, remove those chains. (CHAINS CLINKING)
14:18
TAASH: (groans) This place smells awful. QUNARI GUARD: Quiet or you'll keep those chains. TAASH: Go ahead, I'll just break them as soon as
14:25
you've gone. (DOOR RUMBLES AND CREAKS)
14:32
NADIA: I don't believe it. DRAYDEN: What? NADIA: I know that voice. Taash, is that really you?
14:39
TAASH: Carcosa? (MUSIC)
14:45
(MUSIC) (MUSIC)
14:53
TAASH: Carcosa! (grunts) What are you doing here? (NADIA GROANS) DRAYDEN: Hey, careful! Put her down.
15:00
TAASH: Are you hurt? What happened? Who do I need to punch? NADIA: You wouldn't believe me if I told you. TAASH: With you, I'd believe anything.
15:06
NADIA: What's it been now? TAASH: (laughing) Ages. NADIA: It's good to see you. TAASH: And you. (DRAYDEN COUGHS)
15:12
NADIA: Oh, this is my companion. DRAYDEN: I am Drayden Kiel. DRAYDEN: Writer, scholar, and historian.
15:18
It is a pleasure- TAASH: Don't need your life story. If Carcosa likes you, I like you. DRAYDEN: I see.
15:24
TAASH: Remember our favorite dance, Nadia? NADIA: (laughs) You can't be serious. The Dairsmuid two step?
15:29
TAASH: (laughs) Better than sitting here doing nothing. NADIA: Yeah, well, as much as I'd love to, I'm in no condition to stage a jailbreak at this moment.
15:38
TAASH: Hey, uh, are you okay? NADIA: I am now.
15:44
It's just been a rough few weeks. TAASH: Want to punch the wall? It might help. NADIA: I'm good, Taash.
15:50
TAASH: Good, good is good. DRAYDEN: Perhaps I could shed some light on the more
15:55
dire aspects of our recent travails, you see- (ROCKS RUMBLING) (ALL GRUNTING)
16:01
(CREATURE ROARS) DRAYDEN: What was that?
16:06
TAASH: Dragon. NADIA: Is everyone okay? DRAYDEN: (coughs) I'm good. TAASH: I'm not. I'm stuck under a damn rock.
16:12
It's big too, even for me. NADIA: Drayden, come here, help me push this thing. DRAYDEN: Coming. NADIA: Okay, okay, on me, push!
16:20
(ALL GRUNTING) Hang in there, Taash! TAASH: I don't need a speech. Just move it already!
16:25
NADIA: (groans) Push! (ALL GRUNTING) TAASH: It's not budging, put some muscle into it!
16:31
NADIA: Just hold on! TAASH: If that thing circles back, we're all dead. NADIA: Taash, be quiet, Drayden push! DRAYDEN: Okay.
16:37
(ALL GRUNTING) NADIA: I have an idea.
16:43
Drayden, grab that post over there. DRAYDEN: Got it. NADIA: Good, good, now wedge it under the rock.
16:49
(DRAYDEN GROANS) Now, when I say now, drop back with all your weight...now!
16:54
(ALL GRUNTING) DRAYDEN: It's moving! NADIA: One more push! (ALL GRUNTING)
17:00
(ROCK RUMBLES) We did it! (ALL PANTING) TAASH: Now let's get out of this death trap.
17:06
(MUSIC) (MUSIC)
17:12
(DRAGON SCREECHES) (ROCKS CRUMBLING)
17:23
(VILLAGERS SCREAMING) DRAYDEN: Maker help us. NADIA: It's razing the entire city.
17:30
TAASH: Oh great. NADIA: What? TAASH: It's a Gamordan Stormrider. DRAYDEN: Is that bad? TAASH: It definitely ain't good!
17:36
DRAYDEN: Watch out! (DRAGON ROARS) TAASH: Take cover under that aqueduct over there. NADIA: No, wait, hold here!
17:41
(DRAGON SCREECHES) It's coming back for another pass. (VILLAGERS SCREAMING) (BUILDINGS RUMBLING)
17:48
TAASH: So much for the aqueduct. NADIA: That was a close one. DRAYDEN: Oh no, look! NADIA: What? DRAYDEN: That child is pinned down out there all alone.
17:55
NADIA: Where? DRAYDEN: There! QUNARI CHILD: (distant) Help, help! NADIA: You two, wait here. Taash, get ready. TAASH: I'm always ready.
18:01
DRAYDEN: Nadia, I can help. NADIA: You help by staying put. If we both go, we could both get hurt. If I go down, then you come, got it?
18:07
DRAYDEN: Okay, got it, but be careful. (NADIA PANTS AND GRUNTS)
18:13
DRAYDEN: Nadia, behind you! (NADIA GRUNTS) NADIA: Maker, can one thing be easy, one?
18:20
QUNARI CHILD: Help, help! (NADIA PANTS AND GRUNTS)
18:25
QUNARI CHILD: Run, enemy! NADIA: No, no, no, I'm here to help, little one, friend.
18:30
I'm (stammers) a- Maker, what's the word for friend? Kadan, kadan! QUNARI CHILD: Kadan?
18:38
NADIA: Yes, Kadan, now come on. I've got to get you out of this rubble. (NADIA GRUNTS)
18:46
Almost there kid, just got to move this big one. (NADIA GRUNTS) (RUBBLE CLACKING)
18:54
Don't worry, I got you. (CHILD CRIES) Shh. (in foreign tongue) Taashath. Taashath.
19:00
(DRAGON SCREECHES) DRAYDEN: It's headed right for them. TAASH: Move! DRAYDEN: What?
19:06
TAASH: Move! I need that soldier's spear. DRAYDEN: Oh, there's no way you're going to hit that dragon from here. TAASH: Watch me. (grunts)
19:13
(TAASH GRUNTS) (SPEAR WHOOSHES) (MUSIC)
19:20
(SPEAR SQUELCHES) (DRAGON SCREECHES) (DRAGON GROANS)
19:28
(VILLAGERS CHEERING) (ALL PANTING)
19:35
TAASH: You two make it? NADIA: We're good, thanks Taash. You saved me and this little one.
19:40
TAASH: We're all safe...for now. KITHSHOK: Stop those prisoners immediately!
19:46
TAASH: Not too soon. (SWORDS CLANGING) (MUSIC)
19:54
(VILLAGERS CHATTERING) KITHSHOK: Move and you die.
20:00
DRAYDEN: Who's that? TAASH: I think it's a Qunari general, a Kithshok. KITHSHOK: You! Dragon hunter!
20:06
TAASH: Me? KITHSHOK: You're the one who disturbed the Temple of the Lost Dragon.
20:12
You caused all of this. DRAYDEN: In case you didn't notice, she's the one who just saved us.
20:19
KITHSHOK: This does not concern you, human. NADIA: But- KITHSHOK: If either of you speaks again, you will
20:25
taste my blade. (BLADE CLANGS) QUNARI CHILD: Kadan, kadan, she saved my life!
20:31
She is kadan. KITHSHOK: What's this? QUNARI CHILD: She is. DRAYDEN: It's true. Nadia ran into the path of the dragon's attack
20:37
and saved the little one. KITHSHOK: You...risked your life for a Qunari child?
20:45
NADIA: I would risk my life for any child. KITHSHOK: Yet you would not get the same kindness in return?
20:51
NADIA: That sounds like something you should probably think about. DRAYDEN: Does that not prove our intentions?
20:56
We are not the enemy. KITHSHOK: Intentions matter not when weighed against the consequences.
21:06
The bas can go free, but this one will hang. NADIA: Wha-! No! KITHSHOK: This is not up for debate.
21:13
NADIA: Wait, what if we take care of the Stormrider? KITHSHOK: (scoffs) As if you could.
21:20
TAASH: Nadia. NADIA: Taash, you're the greatest dragon slayer in all of Thedas. The Stormrider, can it be killed?
21:26
TAASH: Anything that bleeds can die. NADIA: So what do you say then? We kill your beast, we all go free.
21:33
KITHSHOK: And how would you do this? TAASH: With my ax. NADIA: Taash. TAASH: (scoffs) Fine, it's already retreated across the sea.
21:39
So we'll need a ship, some soldiers, and lots of luck. (HEAVY FOOTSTEPS)
21:47
KITHSHOK: You will take a dreadnought and sail with the Karasaad. You will either kill the Stormrider or
21:55
it will kill you. The Qun will decide your fate.
22:00
TAASH: (scoffs) Right, the Qun. NADIA: (whispers) Hey Taash, you got this?
22:06
TAASH: Yep, just another day in paradise. NADIA: You know one of these days, we'll have to meet up and just have a nice ale or something.
22:12
TAASH: (laughs) Could you imagine? DRAYDEN: Not to interrupt, but is this a bad time to mention I get seasick?
22:19
NADIA: (scoffs) Drayden... (MUSIC)

(QUNARI ROWERS CHANTING)
22:39
(BOAT CREAKING) (QUNARI ROWERS CHANTING) DRAYDEN: It's raining pretty hard.
22:46
Sure you don't want to head below? NADIA: I'm fine here.
22:51
DRAYDEN: How are you doing? NADIA: I don't know. I'm up, I'm down.
22:57
My mind is scattered. I know you said it wasn't real and I want to believe you, but I-
23:03
DRAYDEN: Stop listening to that doubt. It's just the Fade haunting you like a ghost
23:08
twisting your heart and whoa, bending your world.
23:14
NADIA: The ring! DRAYDEN: What? NADIA: Elio's ring. I never got it back from Flicker.
23:21
So that's gone now too. DRAYDEN: Hmm. NADIA: What?
23:27
DRAYDEN: That actually might not be the worst thing. NADIA: Excuse me? DRAYDEN: (groans) Remember what Bellara said?
23:35
That ring was our guide. All the memories and magic tied to its existence,
23:41
it was like a beacon. So it wasn't just leading us to Elio.
23:47
NADIA: It was leading Elio to us. DRAYDEN: Precisely! Which means wherever he is,
23:53
he knows you're alive and he knows you're looking for him.
24:00
NADIA: You're a good friend, Drayden. DRAYDEN: Ooo, friend. I thought I was your companion.
24:06
NADIA: Don't make this weird. DRAYDEN: Whoa! NADIA: Hey, you okay?
24:11
DRAYDEN: Yes, I'm...I'm- (retches) NADIA: Ugh, damn it, come on!
24:17
DRAYDEN: Sorry. (HORN BELLOWS)
24:23
TAASH: There, the dragon's lair is across that shore. She'll be asleep at this hour. DRAYDEN: She?
24:29
TAASH: The ridges and coloration of her spine. When she attacked, I got a good look. NADIA: And I assume waking her up would be a bad idea?
24:37
TAASH: Yep. DRAYDEN: I've never seen so much white sand. TAASH: (chuckles) That ain't sand, kid.
24:42
DRAYDEN: Oh. NADIA: That's a lot of bones. TAASH: That's a lot of dragon.
24:49
(DRAGON SHRIEKS) Oh crap. NADIA: I thought you said she was asleep.
24:54
TAASH: She is, that's not her. Stormrider has a nest, probably their first hunt.
25:00
Huh, this was never about the temple. DRAYDEN: Taash, look out! There's three of them. (DRAGON SCREECHES) QUNARI SOLDIER: Abort, abort!
25:08
(SOLDIERS SCREAMING) TAASH: Stay back! The rain can catch their lightning breath, making it burst out in webs.
25:15
QUNARI LIEUTENANT: The smaller ones are looping back, what do we do? DRAYDEN: Taash? TAASH: Hold on, I'm thinking.
25:20
(TAASH PACES) (DRAGON SCREECHES) How much gaatlock we got? QUNARI LIEUTENANT: We're stocked to the gills.
25:25
TAASH: Take the cannons off the riggings and aim high. We need to scorch the sky. QUNARI LIEUTENANT: What? Those cannons weigh
25:31
five hundred pounds! TAASH: I thought you guys were tough? (RUNNING FOOTFALLS) QUNARI LIEUTENANT: Karasaad, man the cannons!
25:38
DRAYDEN: What's gaatlock? TAASH: Qunari explosives. Hate their politics, but love their guns.
25:43
QUNARI SOLDIER: Watch out! It's landing on the ship! (THUD) NADIA: Drayden, dive! (DRAYDEN GRUNTS)
25:48
(ELECTRICITY CRACKLES) (ALL GRUNT) DRAYDEN: (stutters) I'm okay. NADIA: Get behind me! (DAGGERS CLINKING)
25:54
That's right, you little bastard. You want some breakfast? You're going to have to go through me! (DRAGON SCREECHES)
26:00
I am not afraid of you! (DRAGON SCREECHES) Though, I would love some advice on how to kill this thing, Taash!
26:06
TAASH: Under the jaw! The scales are still thin on the young ones. NADIA: Got it. (SWORD CLANGS) DRAYDEN: What do you say?
26:13
Want to teach me that two-step? NADIA: It'd be my pleasure. On me! (grunts) (ALL GRUNTING)
26:19
TAASH: We're almost ready! (SWORDS CLASHING) NADIA: Don't worry about me. You just get those cannons going! TAASH: No, you're the one who brought daggers to
26:26
a dragon fight. (DAGGERS SLASHING) NADIA: I'm sorry, do we need to talk about the time we fought the undead
26:32
in the tombs beneath Clagan's Hollow? TAASH: That's not fair, you know, I don't like corpses. DRAYDEN: We are all going to be corpses if you two
26:37
don't focus! (NADIA GRUNTING) (SWORDS CLANGING) NADIA: It's going to crush me!
26:44
DRAYDEN: Yah! Remove yourself from her, you wretch! NADIA: Drayden, watch out for its tail!
26:49
DRAYDEN: Ugh! Ahhh! (TAIL SWATS) (DRAYDEN CRIES OUT) (DRAYDEN GRUNTS) NADIA: Taash! DRAYDEN: Nadia!
26:54
DRAYDEN: I think it's going to fry me. NADIA: Taash! Now would be a good time. TAASH: I see your lightning, now feel my fire!
27:02
(DRAGON SCREECHES) Ataash! (CANNON UNLOADS) (EXPLOSIVE WHOOSHES)
27:09
(ALL PANTING AND GASPING) DRAYDEN: Nadia, are you all right? NADIA: (groans) Yeah, I'm good.
27:15
But "now feel my fire", seriously? TAASH: What?
27:21
NADIA: That was terrible. TAASH: You're crazy, it was great. DRAYDEN: It was a little rough, Taash. TAASH: Ah, piss off, the both of you. (laughs)
27:28
NADIA: Thanks though, you saved me again. TAASH: All right, all right, let's not get all mushy.
27:33
Fighting's not done. NADIA: And you too, Drayden, thanks. DRAYDEN: Guess you had some dance moves left over after all.
27:39
QUNARI SOLDIERS: Fire! Fire! TAASH: That's it! Blast everywhere. The explosions will make them dizzy and confused.
27:45
(EXPLOSIVES WHOOSH) QUNARI LIEUTENANT: It's working! A second beast drops from the sky!
27:50
TAASH: Keep firing! QUNARI LIEUTENANT: Nehraa Qun! QUNARI SOLDIERS: Fire! Fire! (TAASH GRUNTS) (PROJECTILES WHOOSHING) (DRAGON SCREECHES)
27:57
QUNARI LIEUTENANT: The last one. It flees! NADIA: Well, I'll be damned. We might actually survive this.
28:04
(DRAGON ROARS) TAASH: Oh crap, mom's awake.
28:10
DRAYDEN: And you talk about me jinxing things! NADIA: Sorry! TAASH: Stormrider! Everyone take cover!
28:16
(ALL GRUNTING) (SOLDIERS SCREAMING)
28:24
DRAYDEN: Holy Maker... NADIA: If that Stormrider comes back for another strafing run, we are not going to survive.
28:29
We need to fall back. TAASH: Impossible. We can't outrun the Stormrider. It'll kill us all. I need to kill it.
28:35
I need a cannon. NADIA: What are we supposed to do against that thing? TAASH: Not we. (TAASH GRUNTS) DRAYDEN: What are you doing?
28:41
TAASH: The gaatlock is strong enough to break through its scales, but not from this distance. Nadia, hand me that satchel.
28:46
(TAASH GRUNTS) DRAYDEN: You just put a hundred pounds of gaatlock on your back, Taash.
28:51
TAASH: Should I grab more? NADIA: Taash! TAASH: (laughs) Just kidding, Carcosa, but you and the mouth here should prepare to jump in in case this goes sideways.
28:59
NADIA: We aren't going anywhere. TAASH: Suit yourself. And you, soldiers, when the dragon circles back, aim the cannons above it.
29:06
Just like before, got it? (SOLDIERS YELL) DRAYDEN: Isn't she too big to be affected by the shock waves?
29:11
TAASH: Yep, but I need her flying low if I'm going to jump on. NADIA: Sorry, did you say jump on? TAASH: How else am I going to get this satchel around
29:17
her neck? NADIA: You are insane! This is a suicide mission! TAASH: So is staying here.
29:22
NADIA: Ugh, fine, good luck, Taash. TAASH: Thanks, but don't jinx me! Cannons ready!
29:28
(MUSIC) (METAL BANGING) QUNARI SOLDIER: Ready. TAASH: Fire! QUNARI SOLDIERS: Fire! (SOLDIERS YELLING)

(PROJECTILES WHIZZING) (DRAGON GROWLING) TAASH: Again! QUNARI SOLDIERS: Fire! (CANNON BLASTS) (DRAGON ROARS)
29:39
TAASH: Light them up! (SOLDIERS GRUNTING) (CANNON BLASTS WHOOSHING) NADIA: It dived! She's taking the bait!
29:46
(DRAGON SCREAMS) DRAYDEN: She did it! She's on its back!
29:52
NADIA: I don't believe it. (TAASH GRUNTS) QUNARI LIEUTENANT: Hold fire!

30:31
DRAYDEN: There, I see her! NADIA: Where? DRAYDEN: There, beyond that wave. NADIA: Let down a lifeboat! We have to find her.
30:36
QUNARI LIEUTENANT: Rescue teams, secure the Dragon Hunter! NADIA: Wait, I'm coming too! DRAYDEN: Well if you're going, I'm going.

31:21
Oh, that water smelled terrible. NADIA: If you're gonna be like that, we can put you right back where we found you
31:27
with whatever smelled so bad. TAASH: I would come for your entire bloodline. (BOTH LAUGHING) DRAYDEN: Look! Back on the ship!

NARRATOR: Next time on Dragon Age: Vows and Vengeance. DRAYDEN: Something is definitely wrong.
35:46
SPEAKER 1: It was about a year ago, darkness had come to Antiva. SPEAKER 2: Retreat!
35:52
SPEAKER 3: Soldier, calm down-hey! (MAN CRYING) SPEAKER 2: Ghosts! There are ghosts in there!
35:59
SPEAKER 4: Fields of crops rotten overnight, terrible storms, earthquakes swallowing villages,
36:05
drummed up all sorts of rumors, demons, spirits, the Fade.
36:11
DRAYDEN: I think the painful emotions you're experiencing in these dreams are a reflection of what Elio is feeling on the other side.
36:19
And if they keep getting stronger? NADIA: Then whatever danger stalks him is getting closer.
36:26
SPEAKER 5: Don't suppose we can talk this out. I am rich, you know? SPEAKER 6: A crew never abandons a contract.

DECLAN: We'll veer left up at the fork, by that kapok tree just ahead. Lord Mondraine?
0:23
LORD TRISTAN MONDRAINE: (grunting) I'm coming, I'm coming. (FOOTSTEPS) MONDRAINE: Oh, holy maker in a bread pan,
0:30
how does anyone survive this forsaken heat? DECLAN: (groans) I know it's a bit hot but- MONDRAINE: A bit hot?
0:36
It's like we're walking through a fog made of butter soup. DECLAN: It will be cooler as we head west.
0:43
MONDRAINE: It better be. DECLAN: It will. (PANTING) (FOOTSTEPS) MONDRAINE: Hold on, I thought the map said east.
0:49
What are you playing at? DECLAN: Oh relax, Taash says west, and if you know her
0:54
as well as I, you'd know to take her word over a map. MONDRAINE: (groans) Well, excuse me if I'm
1:00
not quite as taken with her as you are. (FOOTSTEPS) I've been on this muddy, oh, disgusting rock for weeks.
1:08
And the closest I've been to treasure is the gold I keep handing to you and that Qunari.
1:13
DECLAN: (groans) That Qunari is the reason you are still alive. Without her, we wouldn't have even been allowed
1:22
to step on these grounds. I would show more respect. (FOOTSTEPS) (PANTING)
1:28
MONDRAINE: (groans) She might be good with an ax, but ugh, she's leading us in circles.
1:33
If you ask me, her eggs are a little soft-boiled. DECLAN: Her treasure hunting is an art, Lord Mondraine.
1:39
And I assure you, her instincts are a thing of beauty.
1:45
MONDRAINE: No, Declan, actually real art is beautiful and she and this place are not!
1:52
DECLAN: And what would you have me do? Mutiny against my friend? MONDRAINE: (groans) I would have you fulfill
1:58
your obligation to your employer. I hired you to find me a treasure, so take me to it
2:03
or the masters of Val Royeaux will hear of this! And the Lords of Fortune will be a thing of the past
2:09
along with that animal you call a friend. DECLAN: I would be careful with your words.
2:14
MONDRAINE: Or what? TAASH: Or you're going to die, right here on this muddy, disgusting rock. MONDRAINE: Oh, Taash. (FOOTSTEPS)
2:22
I, uh, I, I thought you were scouting ahead. TAASH: I was, now I'm back.
2:29
MONDRAINE: You must excuse my tongue. I merely got a little heated. TAASH: Nah, you were an asshole.
2:35
(MONDRAINE SCOFFS) (DECLAN STIFLES A LAUGH) MONDRAINE: Right, well, I still stand by the rest of
2:40
my remarks. I want my treasure and I want it now! TAASH: So stop talking and start walking. MONDRAINE: Excuse me, do you know who you're speaking to?
2:48
I apologized once, but I shall not bend the knee to some filthy- (AX CLANGS) TAASH: Shh!
2:55
(MONDRAINE STAMMERS) MONDRAINE: Now, now listen, you, I am still an Orlesian Noble and a, ooh, revered member of the court.
3:04
You don't have to like me, but you do! TAASH: I don't like you, don't have to either.
3:11
You're weak, slow, and you're getting in my way! (AX CLANGS) MONDRAINE: What...what are you doing?
3:17
Put- put that ax down. You hear me? Put it- (SCREAMS) (TAASH GRUNTS)

3:52
Shut up and listen. MONDRAINE: You mean we've been here the whole time? TAASH: We had to move with the sun. The shadows reveal the path to the Bloodfire.
3:59
MONDRAINE: Why didn't you say something? MONDRAINE: Oh! TAASH: I was busy. DECLAN: (groans) Like I said, better than any map.
4:08
(WATER SLOSHES) Well, are you coming? (WATER SLOSHES) MONDRAINE: Oh, into that stream?
4:16
It's more bog than bath water! DECLAN: I thought you were hot. (MONDRAINE GRUNTS)
4:24
(DECLAN CHUCKLES) MONDRAINE: Is this all a joke to you? TAASH: Shut up already, we're almost there. MONDRAINE: Almost where?
4:30
We're in the middle of a, oh, oh, damn swamp. I paid for the esteemed Lords (grunts) of Fortune
4:36
to lead me to the fabled ruins of Bloodfire Stones, sacred rubies and forged from the scales of a dragon.
4:44
(whimpers) And instead you've got me taking a mud bath! TAASH: If you don't relax, we're gonna feast on
4:50
Orlesian tongue. (ANIMAL ROARS) MONDRAINE: What was that? (MUSIC)

(MONDRAINE GROANS) DECLAN: Taash, check out these stones. MONDRAINE: I don't like it here, it's eerie.

(TAASH CHANTING IN FOREIGN TONGUE) MONDRAINE: Andraste's tears! (laughs)
5:41
TAASH: Here's the Temple of the Lost Dragon. DECLAN: Oh, I never thought I'd see such a thing. MONDRAINE: (laughing) What are you imbeciles waiting for?
5:47
There's treasure to be had! TAASH: Lord Mondraine, wait! MONDRAINE: Wait for nothing. I've searched everywhere for these stones.
5:53
Now, we're finally here and I won't wait a second longer! (METAL CLANKS) What was that?
5:59
TAASH: You stepped on a trap, idiot. MONDRAINE: What? TAASH: Get down! (MONDRAINE GRUNTS) (ARROWS WHOOSHING) (ARROWS WHOOSING) (ALL GRUNTING)
6:10
TAASH: Anyone hurt? MONDRAINE: Oh, my arm! TAASH: Quiet! MONDRAINE: They shot my arm!
6:15
TAASH: Listen! MONDRAINE: I'm bleeding! DECLAN: I hear it too. MONDRAINE: I'm bleeding! TAASH: Shut up! DECLAN: Look, up at the trees, boulders!
6:23
TAASH: Another trap, step away from the center! MONDRAINE: Oh, Maker, I'm dying! (crying) DECLAN: Mondraine, move, now!
6:28
(ROPES SNAPPING) (BOULDERS LURCHING) MONDRAINE: Oh dear! (ROCKS CRASHING)
6:37
DECLAN: Dear mother! TAASH: Good riddance! DECLAN: Oh boy, you ever seen a man just pop like that?
6:45
TAASH: Yep. DECLAN: (laughs) Of course you have. You got a little, I don't know, spleen on your arm there.
6:52
TAASH: Ew, thanks. (DECLAN SIGHS) DECLAN: I don't suppose Val Royeaux is going to be happy
6:58
we let one of their nobles get splattered by a pair of boulders. TAASH: You suppose wrong. DECLAN: Come again?
7:04
TAASH: The court sent me a letter asking that Lord Mondraine regretfully and tragically finds himself unable to return to court.
7:11
DECLAN: The Orlesian Empire paid you to kill him? TAASH: No, it paid me to let him die.
7:16
DECLAN: Why didn't you tell me? TAASH: (laughs) The less you knew, the better off you were, just in case things went wrong. DECLAN: You did that for me, huh?
7:22
TAASH: Huh, don't let it get to your head. Now let's grab these Bloodfire Stones...Declan?
7:28
DECLAN: I really wish you would have told me about that letter, Taash. TAASH: Declan... DECLAN: I just couldn't stomach that fat slob
7:37
getting all the goods while we split the pennies he was paying us. TAASH: What did you do? DECLAN: I'm sorry, Taash, it's only business. (MUSIC)
7:44
QUNARI SOLDIER: Nobody move! DECLAN: Over here, the traitor is here! (TAASH GROANS) (QUNARI SOLDIER YELLS IN FOREIGN TONGUE) TAASH: Backstabbing swine!
7:50
QUNARI SOLDIER: You dare raise the ancient Temple of the Lost Dragon? Your actions are a disgrace to your people.
7:57
DECLAN: Yeah, Taash, not sure if you know this, but these are kind of sacred grounds. TAASH: Now you're really pissing me off! (grunts)
8:04
(THUD) (TAASH GRUNTS) QUNARI SOLDIER: Enough! Betrayal of one Qun is a crime against all Qun.
8:11
And you will answer for your crimes, dragon hunter. Human, many thanks for alerting us to this deception.
8:20
DECLAN: All in a day's work. Which reminds me, do you have my reward? (COINS JINGLE) (DECLAN GRUNTS)
8:26
(laughs) Well, I shall put this to good use in my village. I know it doesn't make up for her treachery,
8:32
but please know this will feed many children. QUNARI SOLDIER: Go now, back to your own lands.
8:38
TAASH: Enjoy your head while it's still attached, Declan. DECLAN: And yet you're the one under the blade, Taash.
8:44
See you around! (TAASH GRUNTS) (MUSIC)

(WATER DRIPS) (METAL BANGS) DRAYDEN KIEL: Hey! Hello?

I demand to speak with the ranking officer at once. My friend needs help!
9:09
(DRAYDEN SIGHS) (METAL CLANGS) Hello! I know you can hear me out there. (DOOR CREAKS)
9:20
QUNARI GUARD: Quit your barking, dog. DRAYDEN: Look at her, she's in bad shape. She needs help.
9:26
QUNARI GUARD: We sewed her wounds. DRAYDEN: But she needs healing, herbs, potions.
9:32
Her blood could be infected. QUNARI GUARD: And why would we waste our medicine on a pair of spying basra?
9:39
DRAYDEN: Oh, I told you, we weren't up to anything. We landed there by accident.
9:44
QUNARI GUARD: Oh, right, I suppose you just fell right out of the sky. DRAYDEN: That's exactly what happened!
9:50
QUNARI GUARD: Listen, one more outburst and we'll separate the two of you. This is your last warning.
9:56
(DOOR RUMBLES AND CREAKS SHUT) DRAYDEN: But! (groans)
10:03
(MOUSE SQUEAKS) DRAYDEN: Nadia? (NADIA WHIMPERS)
10:09
Nadia! Hey, it's me. I'm here, it was just a bad dream. Come on, breathe.
10:16
NADIA CARCOSA: Drayden. DRAYDEN: Easy there, let me help you onto this bench. There we go, nice and gentle.
10:22
NADIA: (coughs) Where are we? DRAYDEN: Par Vollen. NADIA: What, how did we wind up north in Qunari territory?
10:30
DRAYDEN: It would seem that Fade portal spit us deep into the archipelago right next to a camp of Qunari soldiers.
10:37
NADIA: Oh, please tell me you're kidding. DRAYDEN: I'm afraid not. NADIA: Ugh, oh. DRAYDEN: Hold on, let me fetch you some water.
10:43
You need to drink. (WATER SLOSHES) Here, take this.
10:49
(NADIA SLURPS) I've never seen anything like this place. They brought us inside some sort of pyramid.
10:56
We've been in this cell for two days. NADIA: (coughs) Two days? DRAYDEN: Your injuries were severe.
11:02
You've been asleep the whole time, shaking from nightmares. NADIA: My mind, it felt like I was stuck back in the Fade.
11:11
DRAYDEN: Yes, and as soon as you feel better, I want to talk to you more about that. I'm worried something may have happened to you
11:17
before Bellara and I caught up. NADIA: Wait, where is Bellara?
11:22
DRAYDEN: (stutters) I don't know. We jumped first. The tear was unstable. She said there was no guarantee
11:28
any of us would wind up in the same place. I just hope she made it.
11:33
I can't bear to think that she might have... NADIA: Died. DRAYDEN: I- I, Nadia.
11:39
NADIA: No, go ahead. DRAYDEN: Be careful. NADIA: You can say it. She might have died like Elio died.
11:44
Like everything in this flaming world is going to, because I took the Eye of Kethisca, because- DRAYDEN: Hey, hey, calm down.
11:51
I know you're upset, but you need to listen to me right now. NADIA: Listen to what? More of your fancy words?
11:57
Well, guess what? All the books in all of the lands won't bring back what I lost. DRAYDEN: Great Maker, I know you're hurt and broken,
12:04
but you push too far sometimes. It's not right the way you explode and thrust your pain upon everyone else.
12:10
NADIA: And what do you know of pain, of real loss? What, you think because people thought you were a peculiar child that you had it bad?
12:18
You think being a bit of an outcast can even compare to losing everyone you've ever cared for? DRAYDEN: Nadia, this isn't you.
12:25
Why are you being so cruel? NADIA: Because this is me! Don't you get it yet? I am irredeemable.
12:32
I'm a blight of pain and darkness. And if you allow yourself to get close to me, then you are going to die too.
12:38
Just like my parents and Vik and Elio, all of them. I can't lose anyone else, so just leave me alone.
12:46
(MUSIC) DRAYDEN: (sighs) You can hate me, Nadia.
12:51
You can yell at me or push me away. But you're not going to lose me, okay?
12:58
I am in this with you and we are going to finish it together. You are my friend, you stubborn ass.
13:04
And if you calm down for one second and listen, I could tell you that Elio isn't dead.
13:12
NADIA: What? DRAYDEN: There was nothing there, no body. When you pointed to Elio, I didn't see anything.
13:19
It was just the Fade messing with your mind. NADIA: No...no...I saw him die.
13:25
DRAYDEN: I warned you about this. It uses your memories, your feelings. The Fade will use everything against you.
13:32
NADIA: But it felt so real. DRAYDEN: I know how it seemed but he's- NADIA: He's...he's alive?
13:37
DRAYDEN: Yes, and as soon as we get out of here, we're going to keep hunting for the one behind it all.
13:44
NADIA: The Dread Wolf. DRAYDEN: The one and only. (DOOR RUMBLES)
13:52
(DOOR RUMBLES) (FOOTSTEPS) QUNARI GUARD: You two, step away from the door and
13:57
face the wall. DRAYDEN: Are those swords really necessary? QUNARI GUARD: They aren't for you.
14:03
(HEAVY FOOTSTEPS) In you go, traitor. TAASH: Yeah, yeah. (CHAINS RATTLING) QUNARI GUARD: And don't try anything.
14:11
Soldier, remove those chains. (CHAINS CLINKING)
14:18
TAASH: (groans) This place smells awful. QUNARI GUARD: Quiet or you'll keep those chains. TAASH: Go ahead, I'll just break them as soon as
14:25
you've gone. (DOOR RUMBLES AND CREAKS)
14:32
NADIA: I don't believe it. DRAYDEN: What? NADIA: I know that voice. Taash, is that really you?
14:39
TAASH: Carcosa? (MUSIC)
14:45
(MUSIC) (MUSIC)
14:53
TAASH: Carcosa! (grunts) What are you doing here? (NADIA GROANS) DRAYDEN: Hey, careful! Put her down.
15:00
TAASH: Are you hurt? What happened? Who do I need to punch? NADIA: You wouldn't believe me if I told you. TAASH: With you, I'd believe anything.
15:06
NADIA: What's it been now? TAASH: (laughing) Ages. NADIA: It's good to see you. TAASH: And you. (DRAYDEN COUGHS)
15:12
NADIA: Oh, this is my companion. DRAYDEN: I am Drayden Kiel. DRAYDEN: Writer, scholar, and historian.
15:18
It is a pleasure- TAASH: Don't need your life story. If Carcosa likes you, I like you. DRAYDEN: I see.
15:24
TAASH: Remember our favorite dance, Nadia? NADIA: (laughs) You can't be serious. The Dairsmuid two step?
15:29
TAASH: (laughs) Better than sitting here doing nothing. NADIA: Yeah, well, as much as I'd love to, I'm in no condition to stage a jailbreak at this moment.
15:38
TAASH: Hey, uh, are you okay? NADIA: I am now.
15:44
It's just been a rough few weeks. TAASH: Want to punch the wall? It might help. NADIA: I'm good, Taash.
15:50
TAASH: Good, good is good. DRAYDEN: Perhaps I could shed some light on the more
15:55
dire aspects of our recent travails, you see- (ROCKS RUMBLING) (ALL GRUNTING)
16:01
(CREATURE ROARS) DRAYDEN: What was that?
16:06
TAASH: Dragon. NADIA: Is everyone okay? DRAYDEN: (coughs) I'm good. TAASH: I'm not. I'm stuck under a damn rock.
16:12
It's big too, even for me. NADIA: Drayden, come here, help me push this thing. DRAYDEN: Coming. NADIA: Okay, okay, on me, push!
16:20
(ALL GRUNTING) Hang in there, Taash! TAASH: I don't need a speech. Just move it already!
16:25
NADIA: (groans) Push! (ALL GRUNTING) TAASH: It's not budging, put some muscle into it!
16:31
NADIA: Just hold on! TAASH: If that thing circles back, we're all dead. NADIA: Taash, be quiet, Drayden push! DRAYDEN: Okay.
16:37
(ALL GRUNTING) NADIA: I have an idea.
16:43
Drayden, grab that post over there. DRAYDEN: Got it. NADIA: Good, good, now wedge it under the rock.
16:49
(DRAYDEN GROANS) Now, when I say now, drop back with all your weight...now!
16:54
(ALL GRUNTING) DRAYDEN: It's moving! NADIA: One more push! (ALL GRUNTING)
17:00
(ROCK RUMBLES) We did it! (ALL PANTING) TAASH: Now let's get out of this death trap.
17:06
(MUSIC) (MUSIC)
17:12
(DRAGON SCREECHES) (ROCKS CRUMBLING)
17:23
(VILLAGERS SCREAMING) DRAYDEN: Maker help us. NADIA: It's razing the entire city.
17:30
TAASH: Oh great. NADIA: What? TAASH: It's a Gamordan Stormrider. DRAYDEN: Is that bad? TAASH: It definitely ain't good!
17:36
DRAYDEN: Watch out! (DRAGON ROARS) TAASH: Take cover under that aqueduct over there. NADIA: No, wait, hold here!
17:41
(DRAGON SCREECHES) It's coming back for another pass. (VILLAGERS SCREAMING) (BUILDINGS RUMBLING)
17:48
TAASH: So much for the aqueduct. NADIA: That was a close one. DRAYDEN: Oh no, look! NADIA: What? DRAYDEN: That child is pinned down out there all alone.
17:55
NADIA: Where? DRAYDEN: There! QUNARI CHILD: (distant) Help, help! NADIA: You two, wait here. Taash, get ready. TAASH: I'm always ready.
18:01
DRAYDEN: Nadia, I can help. NADIA: You help by staying put. If we both go, we could both get hurt. If I go down, then you come, got it?
18:07
DRAYDEN: Okay, got it, but be careful. (NADIA PANTS AND GRUNTS)
18:13
DRAYDEN: Nadia, behind you! (NADIA GRUNTS) NADIA: Maker, can one thing be easy, one?
18:20
QUNARI CHILD: Help, help! (NADIA PANTS AND GRUNTS)
18:25
QUNARI CHILD: Run, enemy! NADIA: No, no, no, I'm here to help, little one, friend.
18:30
I'm (stammers) a- Maker, what's the word for friend? Kadan, kadan! QUNARI CHILD: Kadan?
18:38
NADIA: Yes, Kadan, now come on. I've got to get you out of this rubble. (NADIA GRUNTS)
18:46
Almost there kid, just got to move this big one. (NADIA GRUNTS) (RUBBLE CLACKING)
18:54
Don't worry, I got you. (CHILD CRIES) Shh. (in foreign tongue) Taashath. Taashath.
19:00
(DRAGON SCREECHES) DRAYDEN: It's headed right for them. TAASH: Move! DRAYDEN: What?
19:06
TAASH: Move! I need that soldier's spear. DRAYDEN: Oh, there's no way you're going to hit that dragon from here. TAASH: Watch me. (grunts)

19:35
TAASH: You two make it? NADIA: We're good, thanks Taash. You saved me and this little one.
19:40
TAASH: We're all safe...for now. KITHSHOK: Stop those prisoners immediately!
19:46
TAASH: Not too soon. (SWORDS CLANGING) (MUSIC)
19:54
(VILLAGERS CHATTERING) KITHSHOK: Move and you die.
20:00
DRAYDEN: Who's that? TAASH: I think it's a Qunari general, a Kithshok. KITHSHOK: You! Dragon hunter!
20:06
TAASH: Me? KITHSHOK: You're the one who disturbed the Temple of the Lost Dragon.
20:12
You caused all of this. DRAYDEN: In case you didn't notice, she's the one who just saved us.
20:19
KITHSHOK: This does not concern you, human. NADIA: But- KITHSHOK: If either of you speaks again, you will
20:25
taste my blade. (BLADE CLANGS) QUNARI CHILD: Kadan, kadan, she saved my life!
20:31
She is kadan. KITHSHOK: What's this? QUNARI CHILD: She is. DRAYDEN: It's true. Nadia ran into the path of the dragon's attack
20:37
and saved the little one. KITHSHOK: You...risked your life for a Qunari child?
20:45
NADIA: I would risk my life for any child. KITHSHOK: Yet you would not get the same kindness in return?
20:51
NADIA: That sounds like something you should probably think about. DRAYDEN: Does that not prove our intentions?
20:56
We are not the enemy. KITHSHOK: Intentions matter not when weighed against the consequences.
21:06
The bas can go free, but this one will hang. NADIA: Wha-! No! KITHSHOK: This is not up for debate.
21:13
NADIA: Wait, what if we take care of the Stormrider? KITHSHOK: (scoffs) As if you could.
21:20
TAASH: Nadia. NADIA: Taash, you're the greatest dragon slayer in all of Thedas. The Stormrider, can it be killed?
21:26
TAASH: Anything that bleeds can die. NADIA: So what do you say then? We kill your beast, we all go free.
21:33
KITHSHOK: And how would you do this? TAASH: With my ax. NADIA: Taash. TAASH: (scoffs) Fine, it's already retreated across the sea.
21:39
So we'll need a ship, some soldiers, and lots of luck. (HEAVY FOOTSTEPS)
21:47
KITHSHOK: You will take a dreadnought and sail with the Karasaad. You will either kill the Stormrider or
21:55
it will kill you. The Qun will decide your fate.
22:00
TAASH: (scoffs) Right, the Qun. NADIA: (whispers) Hey Taash, you got this?
22:06
TAASH: Yep, just another day in paradise. NADIA: You know one of these days, we'll have to meet up and just have a nice ale or something.
22:12
TAASH: (laughs) Could you imagine? DRAYDEN: Not to interrupt, but is this a bad time to mention I get seasick?
22:19
NADIA: (scoffs) Drayden... (MUSIC)

22:39
(BOAT CREAKING) (QUNARI ROWERS CHANTING) DRAYDEN: It's raining pretty hard.
22:46
Sure you don't want to head below? NADIA: I'm fine here.
22:51
DRAYDEN: How are you doing? NADIA: I don't know. I'm up, I'm down.
22:57
My mind is scattered. I know you said it wasn't real and I want to believe you, but I-
23:03
DRAYDEN: Stop listening to that doubt. It's just the Fade haunting you like a ghost
23:08
twisting your heart and whoa, bending your world.
23:14
NADIA: The ring! DRAYDEN: What? NADIA: Elio's ring. I never got it back from Flicker.
23:21
So that's gone now too. DRAYDEN: Hmm. NADIA: What?
23:27
DRAYDEN: That actually might not be the worst thing. NADIA: Excuse me? DRAYDEN: (groans) Remember what Bellara said?
23:35
That ring was our guide. All the memories and magic tied to its existence,
23:41
it was like a beacon. So it wasn't just leading us to Elio.
23:47
NADIA: It was leading Elio to us. DRAYDEN: Precisely! Which means wherever he is,
23:53
he knows you're alive and he knows you're looking for him.
24:00
NADIA: You're a good friend, Drayden. DRAYDEN: Ooo, friend. I thought I was your companion.
24:06
NADIA: Don't make this weird. DRAYDEN: Whoa! NADIA: Hey, you okay?
24:11
DRAYDEN: Yes, I'm...I'm- (retches) NADIA: Ugh, damn it, come on!
24:17
DRAYDEN: Sorry. (HORN BELLOWS)
24:23
TAASH: There, the dragon's lair is across that shore. She'll be asleep at this hour. DRAYDEN: She?
24:29
TAASH: The ridges and coloration of her spine. When she attacked, I got a good look. NADIA: And I assume waking her up would be a bad idea?
24:37
TAASH: Yep. DRAYDEN: I've never seen so much white sand. TAASH: (chuckles) That ain't sand, kid.
24:42
DRAYDEN: Oh. NADIA: That's a lot of bones. TAASH: That's a lot of dragon.
24:49
(DRAGON SHRIEKS) Oh crap. NADIA: I thought you said she was asleep.
24:54
TAASH: She is, that's not her. Stormrider has a nest, probably their first hunt.
25:00
Huh, this was never about the temple. DRAYDEN: Taash, look out! There's three of them. (DRAGON SCREECHES) QUNARI SOLDIER: Abort, abort!
25:08
(SOLDIERS SCREAMING) TAASH: Stay back! The rain can catch their lightning breath, making it burst out in webs.
25:15
QUNARI LIEUTENANT: The smaller ones are looping back, what do we do? DRAYDEN: Taash? TAASH: Hold on, I'm thinking.
25:20
(TAASH PACES) (DRAGON SCREECHES) How much gaatlock we got? QUNARI LIEUTENANT: We're stocked to the gills.
25:25
TAASH: Take the cannons off the riggings and aim high. We need to scorch the sky. QUNARI LIEUTENANT: What? Those cannons weigh
25:31
five hundred pounds! TAASH: I thought you guys were tough? (RUNNING FOOTFALLS) QUNARI LIEUTENANT: Karasaad, man the cannons!
25:38
DRAYDEN: What's gaatlock? TAASH: Qunari explosives. Hate their politics, but love their guns.
25:43
QUNARI SOLDIER: Watch out! It's landing on the ship! (THUD) NADIA: Drayden, dive! (DRAYDEN GRUNTS)
25:48
(ELECTRICITY CRACKLES) (ALL GRUNT) DRAYDEN: (stutters) I'm okay. NADIA: Get behind me! (DAGGERS CLINKING)
25:54
That's right, you little bastard. You want some breakfast? You're going to have to go through me! (DRAGON SCREECHES)
26:00
I am not afraid of you! (DRAGON SCREECHES) Though, I would love some advice on how to kill this thing, Taash!
26:06
TAASH: Under the jaw! The scales are still thin on the young ones. NADIA: Got it. (SWORD CLANGS) DRAYDEN: What do you say?
26:13
Want to teach me that two-step? NADIA: It'd be my pleasure. On me! (grunts) (ALL GRUNTING)
26:19
TAASH: We're almost ready! (SWORDS CLASHING) NADIA: Don't worry about me. You just get those cannons going! TAASH: No, you're the one who brought daggers to
26:26
a dragon fight. (DAGGERS SLASHING) NADIA: I'm sorry, do we need to talk about the time we fought the undead
26:32
in the tombs beneath Clagan's Hollow? TAASH: That's not fair, you know, I don't like corpses. DRAYDEN: We are all going to be corpses if you two
26:37
don't focus! (NADIA GRUNTING) (SWORDS CLANGING) NADIA: It's going to crush me!
26:44
DRAYDEN: Yah! Remove yourself from her, you wretch! NADIA: Drayden, watch out for its tail!
26:49
DRAYDEN: Ugh! Ahhh! (TAIL SWATS) (DRAYDEN CRIES OUT) (DRAYDEN GRUNTS) NADIA: Taash! DRAYDEN: Nadia!
26:54
DRAYDEN: I think it's going to fry me. NADIA: Taash! Now would be a good time. TAASH: I see your lightning, now feel my fire!
27:02
(DRAGON SCREECHES) Ataash! (CANNON UNLOADS) (EXPLOSIVE WHOOSHES)
27:09
(ALL PANTING AND GASPING) DRAYDEN: Nadia, are you all right? NADIA: (groans) Yeah, I'm good.
27:15
But "now feel my fire", seriously? TAASH: What?
27:21
NADIA: That was terrible. TAASH: You're crazy, it was great. DRAYDEN: It was a little rough, Taash. TAASH: Ah, piss off, the both of you. (laughs)
27:28
NADIA: Thanks though, you saved me again. TAASH: All right, all right, let's not get all mushy.
27:33
Fighting's not done. NADIA: And you too, Drayden, thanks. DRAYDEN: Guess you had some dance moves left over after all.
27:39
QUNARI SOLDIERS: Fire! Fire! TAASH: That's it! Blast everywhere. The explosions will make them dizzy and confused.
27:45
(EXPLOSIVES WHOOSH) QUNARI LIEUTENANT: It's working! A second beast drops from the sky!
27:50
TAASH: Keep firing! QUNARI LIEUTENANT: Nehraa Qun! QUNARI SOLDIERS: Fire! Fire! (TAASH GRUNTS) (PROJECTILES WHOOSHING) (DRAGON SCREECHES)
27:57
QUNARI LIEUTENANT: The last one. It flees! NADIA: Well, I'll be damned. We might actually survive this.
28:04
(DRAGON ROARS) TAASH: Oh crap, mom's awake.
28:10
DRAYDEN: And you talk about me jinxing things! NADIA: Sorry! TAASH: Stormrider! Everyone take cover!
28:16
(ALL GRUNTING) (SOLDIERS SCREAMING)
28:24
DRAYDEN: Holy Maker... NADIA: If that Stormrider comes back for another strafing run, we are not going to survive.
28:29
We need to fall back. TAASH: Impossible. We can't outrun the Stormrider. It'll kill us all. I need to kill it.
28:35
I need a cannon. NADIA: What are we supposed to do against that thing? TAASH: Not we. (TAASH GRUNTS) DRAYDEN: What are you doing?
28:41
TAASH: The gaatlock is strong enough to break through its scales, but not from this distance. Nadia, hand me that satchel.
28:46
(TAASH GRUNTS) DRAYDEN: You just put a hundred pounds of gaatlock on your back, Taash.
28:51
TAASH: Should I grab more? NADIA: Taash! TAASH: (laughs) Just kidding, Carcosa, but you and the mouth here should prepare to jump in in case this goes sideways.
28:59
NADIA: We aren't going anywhere. TAASH: Suit yourself. And you, soldiers, when the dragon circles back, aim the cannons above it.
29:06
Just like before, got it? (SOLDIERS YELL) DRAYDEN: Isn't she too big to be affected by the shock waves?
29:11
TAASH: Yep, but I need her flying low if I'm going to jump on. NADIA: Sorry, did you say jump on? TAASH: How else am I going to get this satchel around
29:17
her neck? NADIA: You are insane! This is a suicide mission! TAASH: So is staying here.
29:22
NADIA: Ugh, fine, good luck, Taash. TAASH: Thanks, but don't jinx me! Cannons ready!

with whatever smelled so bad. TAASH: I would come for your entire bloodline. (BOTH LAUGHING) DRAYDEN: Look! Back on the ship!
