Spoiler

She's really going to regret that comment really soon.

 

For some reason going to the Bone Pit triggered this quest with Merrill.

I mean, sure.

Spoiler

Spoiler

I was just about to say, but then you did for me.

Also wow you fuckers are fast three posts while I was working on that.

 

This fight is honestly not that interesting, it is mostly Hawke periodically resurrecting the party.. except for -

periodically the dragon flies up there (the sky is NOT supposed to look like that)

and summons, just, a huge amount of bbdragons.


There are also moody teen!dragons


Two of my party died, but luckily Cutscene!Hawke took over at this point.




LOOK AT MY MIGHTY WINGSPAN AND RUN AWAY!!

 

Cutscene magic does not seem to have a huge amount of relation to gameplay magic.

 

Amongst other things, we've got ROBES OF THE CHAMPION THE ICONIC HAWKE ARMOR YEEE

Spoiler: Codex - Longbow of the Jackal

There once was a bard from Montsimmard, whose tongue was made of purest silver. His name was Corsa the Jackal, and he was famous for enchanting emperors and empresses by knowing exactly what to say to please them. This often got Corsa into trouble!

One day, Corsa was traveling to Val Royeaux where he was to press his silver-tongued words into Empress Necessiteuse's ear. As he walked and rehearsed, a mighty storm blew in. Rain washed away the path, and Corsa became hopelessly lost. Chill set into his bones, so he took shelter in a cave.

But the cave was home to a big brown bear! Corsa drew his longbow, but the bear seized it. "I was just about to go out for dinner," said the bear. "Nice of you to drop by!" He looked at Corsa and began to drool. "You shouldn't do that," replied Corsa. "I am old and stringy and not at all good to eat. Let me share your cave, and in the morning, I will gather honey and berries. You shall have a feast fit for kings!"

"Agreed," said the Bear, "but go no further into the cave. You won't like what you'll find there."

Corsa warmed himself by nestling into to the bear's thick fur. The bear fell asleep, but Corsa was kept awake by what lay further in the darkness. Finally, he could no longer endure the mystery.

At the back of the cave, Corsa found a huge room. And in the middle of that room? An enormous dragon! "Mmm," said the dragon. "Food!"

"Wait, wait!" cried Corsa. "I am old and stringy and not at all good to eat. Let me leave, and I will bring you the bear."

"I think not," said the dragon. "That bear promised me breakfast!" And that was the end of the Jackal.

Spoiler: Dragon's Blood

Collecting dragon's blood is extremely difficult, even for the most accomplished dragon hunter. First, one must locate the increasingly rare creatures. Second, one must bleed it. However, I believe that at the moment of death, the blood loses something special—a certain fiery essence, perhaps. Of course, bleeding a live dragon is quite tricky.

Dragon's blood has wide variety of uses, both magical and culinary. It's an important component of rune-crafting and those like my great-grandfather enjoy a sprinkling of the powdered stuff to their food at the dinner table.

Oh, a Pentaghast! They're dragon-slayers, you know.
