To anyone listening, Minrathous is under attack by Corypheus and his Venatori. Anyone wearing Inquisition colors is not safe, anyone who would oppose him is not safe. I beg those of us still in the city to make their way out, but help any you can without putting yourself in danger as well.

Under attack is putting it rather mildly? There's a Gods' Damned Corrupted Dragon lifting the Archon's Palace out of the ground! The guard are beating people to death in the streets!
Listen, all of you would do well to get to the docks or the catacombs, or leave the city on foot if you can stay hidden! Don't go dithering around looking for help; you won't find any here!

Not all of our people are heartless or Venatori. Avoid the guards and anything with the imperial crest, but if you are human or dwarf there should be those who will help disguise you if you need it. Particularly if you let the mages among you take the lead. Seek the alleys; they have the entrances to the catacombs. Some of us will linger to help those unfamiliar out, but we will not linger long. It is not safe. And watch the sky. The dragon is... fast.

We are likely not secure. The guards were specifically looking for members of the Inquisition. I... do not believe any Inquisition members are seriously wounded, but there are refugees who have been caught in the crossfire and should not be abandoned.

Not many came of the Inquisition. One ship will suffice there. For those who are mine but are not yours, we will need a great deal of support.

[whiskeyandbrimstone]

...You mean the refugees? They're mine too, You think I'm gonna just sit back while some innocents get caught in the crossfire? No chance.

Anyone on your end with medical skills, or maybe healing magic? Hell, even illusions or something, some way to sneak out.

I also realize I said last question before, but well, I'm trying to get a sense of the events. I'll start looking around, try to see how strong our naval presence is, or if we need to find a smuggler or something. Fire and hell, this is going to be rough.

[thorndergod]

The one who has healing and illusion magic at hand in our group is tired.

[Grieving, more like, but he will not say that.]

It will be very rough. I will not lie. There is nothing easy about getting a great many people out of a warzone, and there is a dragon overhead. But we must try or there is no point to any of what we do.

[whiskeyandbrimstone]

Oh no, don't take my bitchin' as though I'm not gonna do it. Just gotta figure out how. This instant you're safe, at least for a bit. Next step is figurein' out what to do with the tools we got.

Don't worry, or try not to worry too much, you're not flounderin' all by yourself, you're floundering on the end of a very long line. Which, as anyone who's been tossed out of a boat will tell you, makes all the difference.

[thorndergod]

We are at the end of a long line should the Inquisition choose to aid the people of Tevinter. They did not aid the Anderfels. That is what I meant by my people. The Inquisition will bring home people affiliated with it, but I do not know that they will aid the people of Minrathous, so I will worry.

[whiskeyandbrimstone]

Yah, they need to work on public relations. Now, is there anything special you need, other than food, medicine and that sort of thing? Anything unusual? We can start gathering stuff for the trip over.

[thorndergod]

It is primarily that sort of thing. Whatever people on the run might need. I have never been in that position and I may be forgetting something.

[whiskeyandbrimstone]

On it. If anything changes, let us know, we'll get to work trying to get supplies. Good luck, the cavalry is coming.

[thorndergod]

I do not know that a charge on horses would be a practical approach.

[whiskeyandbrimstone]

[Jang gives a laugh, half out of relief]

It's a saying from my world. Means help is on it's way.

[thorndergod]

I see. I am glad it is on its way.
