More good news, everyone.

[ Already, it doesn't sound like good news. He isn't faking any obnoxious good cheer. Instead it's quiet drawl, 100% subdued sarcasm. ]

We've more or less confirmed that when Hawke and her friends, ah, when they 'killed' Corypheus—

Obviously he wasn't dead. If that part is news, we need to have a talk. But it seems the way he got out of prison while his big, creepy body was dead on the ground was by transferring himself—his soul—into a Warden who was there, and walking out, easy as that.

The Archdemons could do something similar, but not to us. That was the whole point of us. So that's... great...

[ Wearily. But after a moment he steels himself and sounds, if not brighter, at least more brisk. ]

Anyway, if anyone does ever get close enough to kill him, try not to have a Warden with you, I suppose. If you can't help it, you can ask them to laugh afterwards. If they sound too creepy about it, you'll have to kill them too.

The Blight is not gone and nothing the Wardens do will ever repair the damage that has been done to Thedas.

[doneisdone]

So we're fools to bother trying, or we're not bothering hard enough? Make up your mind.

[dirth]

Both can be true at the same time.

[doneisdone]

And what, pray tell, are you doing to rid Thedas of the Blight?

[dirth]

Understanding the heart of the horrors, to undo what has been done. There is more to learn in memories than could ever be seen in a book.

[doneisdone]

We shall await your solution with bated breath.

[dirth]

I am sure you will. Until then, I am certain you will continue to allow yourself to die needlessly.

[heorte]

Needlessly.
