Lothering was, well less than what someone would expect. it was far more crowed than the last time Morgian rembered, ofcorse there was not people trying to flea from the darkspawn the last time she was there. it was also clear that getting supplies might not be as simple as first thought,
everyone running about trying to get any little bit of what ever scraps are left, it was acctuly somewhat amusing to watch. Not to mention the sheltered mage trying to make sence of everything in this big outside world.
Shr stated her oppions when asked and though not everying agreed with them that was not her problem, after all she can not control how one thinks...even if SOME of there group seems to not be able to think much at all.
The sister stating that she was joining because the maker told her to nearly had her laughing out loud, someone saying something that no one can prove is real or not saying that they should help because they dreamed about it.
if she were to go with that logic then she would have flown far from home years ago, none the less help was help. and they were short on help.
and Morigan was atleast glad that everyone was on the same page in trying to get the Quanri out and requite him to help with the blight. even if it ment having to go back to that building filled with hypacrets and scared people thinking that there maker will save them yet do nothing for themself.
Danti had watched what people were calling the wardens for a little, since he spoted them in lothering, there was a good bounty out on them, it would be enough to get him out of feralden. he had been living off of what he could catch, and stolen pieces of armer here and there, so he was rather missmatched in what he had on. still protection was protection.
the elf had secent guessed his plan though, there was more than he thought, also they had a marbi, not to menton he had seen them fight some farmers that did exactly what he had planed to do and they had lost...baddly...but there was a few coppers left, even a piece of silver that he was able to lift off the bodys.
not to mention if this blight thing was true. then he might not get far on his own, if he hurd right then Wardens were going to seek out the dailsh, he could see if he could tag along with them till they find some then he would be able to leave with the dailsh.

Daylen never believed e would think it but he missed the Circle, almost. Almost in that there you could predict and plan for waht was hurled at you the Templars could to a fashion be predited or reasoned with depsite many holding purposlyful distance from them. Staying would have meant being executed or worse - tranquil. Ostagar had been a massacr and frnakl he was still trying to figure out which was was what for himself.
"Look I'm not saying we shouldn't help the Qunari," alistair said slowly. "I'm just thinking that maybe aggrivatng the changry here is a rather bad idea."
"I know the Revered Mother and if he plead our case in the interst of the Maker than she will surely see reason to aide us." Leliana spoke with confiandce and reverance to the woamn in mention.
"Would you all hate me if I asked to not be braught into a builidng full of Templars? Templars who specifically hunt ... me." Daylan asked quitly having noted severle already, he felt like he was in the Circle again with their ever wathcing eyes on him. He felt his skin rickle and begin to swweat in the palms, strange that he had been the battle of Ostagar yet here he felt truely afraid.
"You and Morrign have nothng to fear. We simply state our case and leave, none may know and if they do approch I can assure them that the Maker has sent you to us in our hour of need." Daylen could almost-almost- find Lilians blanet faith reassuring, if not for the fact that it was the very people he needed to ask for help that hated him for living. "Avoiding a mob woud also be preferable though the Darkspawn may not care etheir way when they get here."
"Which is why we need to hurryas much as I hate to think along Morrigans lines here, we cant drag them all out. They will have to flee or fight on their own. But you adn I can at least somehow anyway do soemthing aobut it." Alistiaradded poitnldy and being one of two Wardens in the hwole country, with a massive price on their heads, the grim and dark reality was sinking in the longer they stayed in Lothering. MAkers Balls even the Chastined were fleeing the forests they normally defended to the death.

"the templars will not do anything if we do not give them reasion to" Morrigan pointed out as well, she knew how to get around them and right now it was clear that they were far to busy dealing with those that were fleeing and people complaning that someone or something was missing and that the chantry owed them in some way so they should be the first to help. No a few mages are not going to be high on there list, "besides Alister was it not you that said we could use all the help that we could get" she said her tone saying that he was also the one that saguested a woman that said the maker told her to join would be a good idea to come with them.
She also didnt point out just yet that they had been trailed for a while, she would give it to the elf, she could not tell what his intentions are just yet, though if there were harm he would have done so by now so she did not feel the need to point him out just yet, if no one else noticed him them that was there own fault not hers.
"the sooner we do this the sooner we can leave lest you forget we are in somewhat of a hurry" the faster they go in the faster they get out.
Ofcorse convincincing this woman was quite sickning, the first thing she dose is ask for money, Morrgian could guess that had Daylen not givien some money she wouldent even hear them out, she knew none of this would even go to those that saposedly needed it, if you couldent servive for your self then beg for hand outs. how repulisve.
Lilianna was able to get the key though, without her it might have been ten times hearder, and if anything Morrgian was glad that someone from such a proud and intersting race would not simply be left deffencless to the darkspawn. now they simply needed to go and open the cage.
Danti had been trying to get a plan on what exactly to do, one thing was clear that he couldent stay there and if darkspawn were around, then being around wardens would be the safest right. Not to mention the fact that he didnt know how to fight darkspawn, humans he has killed...grented not many and recently....maybe keep that out of the explanition, but he could lock pick, and pickpocket fairly well.
Maybe if he showed he could get there money back then they might consider letting him come along at least till he could get with another group of elfs. He will be honest he didnt know what they would think him being an elf, humans were not always the kindest. Though, he did see them help that family of elfs so maybe they were some that wernt to bad.
Just to be safe, once the templar that was watching the donation box had to leave and deal with...someone shouting about the endcoming, and everyone was paying more attition to him Danti was able to slip the money in it out, about 15 silver, and 39 coppers. not much but he was able to get them and get away and no one was none the wiser.
He wasent going to come up to them outside there, they said they were trying to get the quanri out so he waited just close to the cage, though not to close, to be honest he was not to shure about the quanri.

Daylen would happily kept what little they had but sadly he knew all to well how the Chantry worked, and given the desperation that was choking everyone the Chantry was even hungier than normal. The Qnari, Sten, wathced with equal parts suspision, curisoty and a degree of hope. Daylen was fairly certain he had never seen a creature look equal parts hopeful, reserved to death, and suspicious all at the sametime.
"Before we help our Quanri freind how," Lilana said before they reached the cage, still fairly out of earshot of Sten. 'the elf trailing us might have other ideas, or suggestions." Alisitair stared at the sister in confusion, a habit he had a feeling would only continue and happy tonote Daylen was with him.
They didn't have time for this, what ittle they had sadly was forced ot be givne to the Chantry to save the very Quanri int he cage, they had gotten barley enough. "We outnumber he tries anything I don't know I"ll mak hima toad or soemthing." Dayen shrugged doing his best to not let his annoyance go through but he wanted out This place was worst than the Circle he decided and that said something of it.
"Free out friend and I'll speak wiht our on looker yes?" Liliana was already away before they coudl convicne her otherwise."Excuse me?" She called out nearing enough to the ef spot. "My compaions and Inoted you were fallowing us, sadly I'd have ot ask you to not attack us if tha'ts wht you want. Or if your looking for help we could do that instead." She sang out in a soft ocie, she felt the dark haired womans Morrigans eyesgive a autable roll. "The Wardens are very nice and would hapily aide you if you asked."
Daylen nealry choked on air hearing that beign said so bluntly. "Are you tyrng to ge tus killed!" He chocked and nealry feel over now wondering how many people heard her.
"I knew it, crazy lady hearin ocies in her head ... why didnt we back up slower?" Alisitair asked near panic to Daylen, Sten simply watched with mild curiosity, hisfreedom gained only to find his saviors were .. qushtionablly sane.

Danti had been trying to figure out how to ask, it might seem odd for him just go up and ask if he could travle with them. he was thinking over everything that he could do when the chance itself was taken away from him.
He startled a little when the redheaded woman first spoke. "Oh i dont plan on attacking far from it." he said since, he might have thought that at first but plans had changed. "I hurd that wardens work with the dailsh sometimes and was just trying to figure out...how to ask if i could travle with them...just till they find a clan" that was still the plan so far. and it wouldent be to heard for someone to think someone like him would seek out the dailsh, he knew a few elfs that have. wether or not they acctuly found any was another story.
"I dont expect to be taken on for free, i have some silver that i can use for payment...and i know how to lockpick, and can catch my own food" He didnt expect to be given anything, not from humans anyway.
Morrigan however found this to be a plesent suprise. "I say that is a resanuble request, clearly he knows that it would be dangerous to roam alone right now" and not to mention he was even able to pay for passage she belived it was called. she could see the elf also had a wolf pelt wrapped around his wast, for warmth ovesaly but it still ment that he had taken on a wolf and servived. he had two daggers as well meaning that they wouldent not have to babysit so to speak.

"Two for the price of one I guess." Daylen thought under his breath. "I guess I don't see an isssue, Alistiar?" The mage gave the other Warnden a qushtionly look. "Well help again we need so ... wecomaboard .. sorry didn't quit catch the name." The Wunari Sten was still a silent state behind them but listneing to their every wrd.
"Perhpaes it is best to continue this elsewhere." He noted simply for them all to hear. "The Sisters word have garnered attention." The gorup looked behind him and yes ... attention they were recieving which was a fine que for get the hell out of of town. "As for your queshtion Warden," He said turning to Daylen. "slaying Darkspawn is a worthy enough cause and I shall join you."
The massive Mabari in the gorup gave a definitive bark, a warning to the on lookers and enoucragment to his people, time to go!Yjr poor animal found them after the battle, the same one Daylen had helped and depsite he coudlnt think of a name for the poor creature so he kept calling it Dog, though he felt a beast a noble and intellegant as a Mabari deserved a true name. "Hope you dot mnd War hounds." Daylen offered as the gorup made their way out of town, the farmlands of Lothering coud be considered beautfiul depsite the desperation in the air.
"I'm so pleased you'l be joing us! Please don't let he Warndens reputation frightne you though they are boh qut friendly and noble." Liliana assured the elf whom she decided was her favorite to talk too, and to reassure. Daylen and Alistiar bother inwardly agreed they didn't want any self promotion.
-after your next post i'm palnning a Verric post just a heads up-

It wasent really the fact that they were wardens, but more the fact that they were humans that Danti didnt know if they would treat him like so many other humans have in the past. "Danti" HE answered since his name was asked and it would be better to at least have a name to give rather than not have one.
he didnt want to just be called elf after all. He was worried at first that the redhead, lilianna seemed to be so intersted in him, maybe trying to lure him to let his guard down, however after a bit it seemed like she just enjoyed talking. and he did enjoy her stories, after all this was his first time outside Denerum so he didnt know much of the outside world, not really. The others were nice enough he saposed, none of them really looked down on him for being an elf like so many humans did, He was a little weary of Sten, ofcorse never seeing a quanri he had no idea how to really go about even talking to him. It seemed that Sten didnt mind that he wasent getting friendly to be honest.
He kept up his end and was able to catch his own food, and he had handed over what the chantry so kindly gave to him, Morrigan was very amused when he had addmetted that he had taken said pay for passage from the chantry and even agreed that he was only doing what the chantry preached and giving to the needy...who at the moment was indeed them.
even if Danti hadent thought about that at the moment it was a good excuse as any to take money from them.

The Seeker eyed the dwarf carefully this one loved to talk but she needed the ifnroamtion he had.
"Your stl trying to figure out if you should trust me right?" Verric asked with a degree of amusment to Cassandra who crossed her arms. "The story fo the Warden is well know, why bring it up here and now? I aske dyou about theChampion adn how everything happened." She was hodlign back her irratation but time wanst on their side.
"I told you Seeker things weren't as simple as they looked, or in other cases they were more simple. Though the Warden started at Ostagar it was Lotehring where both of them began their journey, and no they never met one another."
"How do you know this? Its strange that both seemingly held the power to shape events, both mages and both formt he same family. Your telling me that is nothing but a coincidance?" Cassandra asked.
"Simple put, yes. The Chapion and Warden had no clue of the others exsistance even they did I doubt it would have changed anting that happened." Verroc kept himself confronable but braced in case the Seeker had another anger boute.
"So your telling me you knew the Warden as well than?" She asked taking a step forward.
"No never met him, etheri of them, in person. Mutual aquantances only and those are scattered at best." He spoke carefully as the Seeker eyed him.
"So while the Wardens were aiding Redcliff and the Circle Lothering was destoryed, this is known, but you expect me to belive a dragon helped them. A dragont hat so happened to be Flemoth the same lgendary Witch that supposdly aided the Warden as well? I that more coicidance?" She asked suspcioly.
"That Seeker I assume would be yes not claiming to know the mind of a Wtch but I"m guessing she had her reasons for helping them."
"So while being flown across the countyr ont he back of a dragon the Warden was doing what exaclty?"
"Battling against an unending horde of the undead at Redlciff and attemping to save the child abodnation that was causing it. And I'l be frnak stories do do justiice to what those weeks of hell were like for those people before the Wardens showed up." He'd only heard sotries himself.
"But someone else was there thoguh? She was there." Cassandra eyed him carefully.
Yes she was and at the time none of them oviously knew it but hell what would you do if you met the future Queen of Feradlen and she was fighting the unead?"

Redcliff could be seen as the group was walking into it, they had stoped for a moment because Alister had said that he needed to tell Daylen something, what ment ofcorse they all heard that there dear Alister was the kings half brother meaning that he was tecanly a prince.
and then that opened it up for some teasing. "Oh the warden prince fighting with his small band of misfits, it will make a great story no" Lilianna teased trying not to laugh behing her hand.
Danti had gatten more used to the group, atleast these humans didnt treat him like he was lesser than they were and so he had become a little more open with them. "No worries at all Prince Alister, nothing will change our vew of you royleness, isent that right sir Daylen" he said in his best fake prince voice and mock bowed to Alister before he then tuened to Daylen and did the same thing, bowing to him.

"But of course Sir Danti." Daylen mimiked the voice and bow, and the two repeated the process before promply smacking head with one another. "Ow." They both rubbed their head from the collision. "alright we deserved that."
"And this is what I get I suppose." alistiar thought allowed though he wans't upset strnalgey relvied that the others joked aobut it. "I just figured given eveyting we've been thorugh well you deserved, you all deserved to know. " He resisted the urge to dig his boot into the ground and kick the dirt out of uncertanty.
"So your a prince and a former templar? Sounds like an intereting sotry." daylen edged out still rubbing his head.
"And a Warden, one who has no desire for the throne mind you. Mister now an Apostate Mage." He joked lightly back.
"Oh ouch fine." No animosit between them. "But revlations aside yu realy think earl Emaon will help us? I mena treaty or no I"ve noticed Blights change poeple."
"He wll of that I hav eno doubt of that. He's a good an honorable man, he repsects the Wardens and well he's alwasy been kidn to me. If ntohing else hell keep us ahead of Logain." Though Alistiar was hopefulm blidning so, that Arl Eamon coudl help them. The man was good and honorable and Alisitar despite resenting him in his youth knew he coudl trust him. "Also no matter what anyone says about you Daylen he;ll see you as a warnden. You;ll be safe." The reassurance was genuine and heartfuelt.
The humans and elf could talk all they liked but it changed nothing of the stench of death in the air, the black smoke and the rotting smell. He lost his first huamn to such a stench and his new one, a mage that smelt of lyrium blood and sadness, he desired to protect form the same fate. Toph gave a short bark to alert the humans and elf, they were scattered and scared he coudl smell it. The black hairmage she walked with confidance and stellstrenghted assuradancess. Toph liked her evne when she scolled hhim, he though sh'ed like the rabit.Even far away Toph could smell the dark sick things, the evil things that twisted and drank and aet corruption from the air itselfhe nuged his master leg to signle him.
"Hmm?" Daylen ooked at the Mabari who seemed alert, tail up ears perked and sniffing. The sounds were of caution. The black smoke, yes it woudlnt be ignored and it left little good feelings of what was ahead of them."Did you guys burn bodies in Redcliff often gorwing up?" He asked Alistiar.
"No not like whatevers going on." The smell only worsened as they got clsoer to town, the buidlings were burnt and their were clear signs fo battle, and death of the splatters of blood were anting to go by.
"So .. where is eveyrone?" Daylen looked around the own looked deserrted and dead. Shambles of defenses were alin about blood splatters, borken eveyrhting. Toph was barking at the Chantry which looked the most preserved out of ll the buldings. "So any chance of this not going bad?"

"seems strange dosent it, notice that we as well have been the only ones travling this way for a while. why is that i wonder" Morrigan spoke up for a place like redcliff you would think that there would be more people coming in and out looking for safe haven from the blight. people coming to see there family and looking to try and get away from the blight as futile as that might be but no, no others were also heading that way, that along with the smoke and the smeel of burning bodys well anything could be going on and Morrigian was now a little curious about it.
It did seem off, even more so once they got to the brige that led in with a guard saying that they should go elswhere, that strange things were happning and that Emain was deathly ill but no one could get in.
the man said to talk to someone called Bann teggan for more information. Danti could smell the death once they got in farther into the town. "Well this might not be as easy as we thought it was" they couldent just go and ask someone for help and not have anything be wrong. he had a feeling that they were going to get invalved in this.

Upon hearing Art Eamon was deathly ill hit Alistai like a ton of bricks he felt equal parts panic and nausuaia welling up inside him. He needed to see him to know to amke sure he wa still alive and if there was a chance to help him, by allthat was under the Makers power he woudl do it.
"So Eamon is suddenly ill shorlty after Logain marks us as traitors, anyone else finding this just wayt o convien." Daylen mttered more to himself, a lftime int he circle required one ot never speka their minds evne alowed in a darkned corners. However sense Ostagar he found himself slipping maybe once an awhile but only ever to himself, if the others heard him they never said anything.
"If there are poeple here than we must help them. " Leliana spoke having come form somewhere from Dayens left, strange he htought shed been up fornt with Alisitar.
"Of course we're heling them! Grey Wardens or not we cnat just let these poele die! Daylen you agree with me on that right" Daylen stammered usddenly beign adresed an put on the spot, that feeling of sweat and prickling skin was ocmign back full force."our the senior warden here remeber so .. I fallow you." He said and Alisitar gave himt he stangest look, like he knew the respnse was an automatic one.
"Daylen we need ot hlep these poeple Warens protect peope andI know you've had little reason to want to help outsiders but we need to do this."
"OF course he agrees, he's somehwat afraid to say it but agrees with you Alisitar." Leliana spoke beofre Daylen could even form his repsonse, that was unnerving.
The further they got in town the worst it got, the outskirts had been welathy in signs of attack but insidethe twon it was like a gluttons feast of destuction. The gaurd lead them inside the Chantryand well that expalined where all the popel were, or what was left of them.
"My Lord, My Lady these travelrs were stopped at the enterance to town, they claim to be Greay Wardens. I thought you'd both wish to speka with them."
