Time to salvage the wreck of the ＷＥＥＤ ＳＨＩＰ

 

It's 4/20, @blue. What better day to salvage from the Weed Ship?

 

... you know, that is a very good point. I'll get started as soon as I'm done with lunch.

 

>I'll help.

Spoiler: Codex: The Raiders of the Waking Sea

The Raiders of the Waking Sea—or simply, the Raiders—is the common name given to an association of Antivan pirates called the Felicisima Armada. These pirates were once little more than opportunists, based out of the coastal city of Llomerryn, that preyed on sea traffic. They were often targeted by Orlesian andFree Marcher cities that were bent on destroying the pirates once and for all. After each such effort, new pirates would appear to fill the vacuum.

During the New Exalted Marches, the nations of Thedas needed every ship they could muster against the massive power of theQunari dreadnoughts. The Llomerryn pirates were faced with a difficult decision: they had to band together under one flag and fight with those they had previously preyed upon or face conversion and annihilation by the Qunari.

Thus the Armada was formed. The pirates brought their knowledge of stealth and trickery to bear, plaguing Qunari supply lines and even launching seaborne invasions against the Qunari coast. For a time it was said the Armada was the premier naval power of Thedas, and after the signing of the Llomerryn Accord, they maintained their association rather than disband as many had hoped.

Wealthy merchants now often pay the leaders of the Armada rather than risking their ships commandeered and their merchandise stolen and sold on the black market. The Armada is hardly unified, and bloody battles between Armada leaders are frequent, but when faced with an attack by outsiders, the group instantly puts aside their differences and closes ranks; the raiders have thus become far more of a threat in the last century than they ever were before.

There is many a legend told about how dashing and romantic life aboard a Raider vessel is, but don't believe it. They are scoundrels and smugglers all.

—From The Dowager's Field Guide to Good Society, by Lady Alcyone

I forget, was I italicizing the Codex entries? Hmph, y'all will have to deal with inconsistent formatting. Just be glad I caught "Raider's of the Waking Sea" before I posted it.

 

Oh hey, let's drop in on Varric while we're here!

Hi Va- wait, who drew that stuff on your wall??

A griffon and... the middle one looks like the Arishok. Are the others Meredith and Orsino? They don't look like them.
[googles]
Ok, the internet seems to think the middle one is the Arishok and the left one is a Qunari mage, and the right one is stylized-Hawke as shown in some of the drawn-looking cutscenes. I don't know wtf the crouching figure in the lower right is, though. That's creepy.
Varric, who is responsible for this

Ok, I won't talk to him, then. (That crouching figure is creeping me out!!)


..?



Oh, come on, speed griffon guy suffered enough with one repeat of that conversation.

 

..said Fenris, dodging around Sparrow's mana bar.

..said Merrill, narrowly avoiding putting her bare foot down on her staff blade.








Yeah, it's a dangerous place full of protruding blades and game constructs.


He turns.


And gestures expansively.

How unique!

 

I think those crouched-up fetal-position artworks are meant to be slaves - Kirkwall was a slaver city under Tevinter, and IIRC there's similar statues in the Gallows and the harbor. Who knows why they're painted everywhere in modern-day, though.

 

Yeah, I've seen it in other places, I'm just like. why is it in the corner of a room. why is it lit like that. that's creepy, Varric.

>How unique!

Sparrow: takes things out of random crates five feet from the harbormaster and ten feet from a templar

Left-hand longshoreman guy looks like he's been sampling the cargo we're looking for.

 

>I have an inquiry.

Also,

reminds me of how today I nearly jaywalked across a rather wide street, not ten feet away from a trio of police officers.

 

> Not today

 

>I have an inquiry.



:|

Sure, he's very busy, and you have an untrustworthy smile.


Briefly ignoring the obvious fact that he wants a bribe - is there really only one shipment of cargo from ORLAIS, a HUGE EMPIRE, coming through Kirkwall on any given day??

Anyway, yes, returning to the obvious fact.
>_?

 

Is it just me or does he look a lot like Jowan?

>Funny how that works.

 

Funny how that works.

 

He does look a lot like Jowan! Wow, does that incline me to be more hostile to him. :P

>Funny how that works.


Thank you, helpful man, for this even less subtle hint.

The choices have the money icon, the red hawke icon, and the plot choice icon respectively.
