Korrin here. I'm changing things up when it comes to offered classes, just in time for the new year. Introductory Qunlat is staying put, because everyone needs to learn how to swear creatively in a new language. [Or, you know, be boring and take it for more practical reasons.] But in addition to that, there are two more that I want to mention.

The first is The Care and Feeding of Your Mount, with an emphasis on nuggalopes since they're still pretty new around here and Dennet wants to stick to his horses. I'd be happy to work with anyone who wants to focus on dracolisks or harts or whatever, too.

The other class I'm taking up is Alchemy: Grenades, for all your explosion needs. Crafting will be in the Undercroft, but the practical portion is going to take place outside Skyhold, for obvious reasons. Seriously, it'll save your ass to know at least a couple of the more common recipes.

If you have any questions or have a weird schedule of your own, let me know and I'll try to work with you. Or pimp your own classes while people are listening.

Anyone can do it. You don't need to be a mage, Thedosian-style or otherwise. All you need are the materials and the knowledge of how to use them together. It's not all about blowing shit up, either. Some grenades slow people down or confuse them...hell, some will even heal you and those around you. Vital stuff, when you're out of normal potions or everyone's hurt.

[Well fuck. Never mind ballistics, Waver's interested in the healing aspects. It shows in his voice, there's a hint of excitement.]

So this entire enterprise is starting when, precisely?

[gatheringstorm]

[That excitement prompts a grin and it shows in her voice.]

How about tomorrow afternoon, after lunch? I was thinking of having a workshop at least three or four days a week, every other day; give time for other projects but still something regular. We can tailor it to the needs of whoever happens to be there at the time. Of course, if you're that eager I can take more time to show you the ropes.

[kartereo]

After lunch sounds perfect. There's no good doing technical work on an empty stomach, that just leads to dumb mistakes. Potentially fatal ones, given what this is covering.

And please, do assume I'm eager. Alchemy was what I started out in, and I'm interested to see what is and isn't consistent between here and home.

[gatheringstorm]

Exactly. I don't like teaching on an empty stomach, anyway.

I can't promise it'll be at all similar, but with any luck, it won't be that much of a pain in the ass to follow. We try to keep the recipes simple anyway, so they can be done at any Inquisition camp you find.

[kartereo]

I'm mostly interested to see the differences anyway, aside from having something to do with my hands that's on the technical side of things.

[gatheringstorm]

I'll tell you about mine, you tell me about yours. Fair? Not that I'm volunteering you for lessons, but comparing is always fun.

[kartereo]

More than fair, and just pretend I've written my name on the sign up sheet for lessons in all capital letters.
