(—he remembers the chill of the frost and snow biting at bare skin, its usual pure white now tinged a horrid pink from the blood on his hands. He's far away from them now, the danger and the pain and everything else, but the blood will forever be on his hands no matter how much he tries to wash it away. His father had been right all along. He truly was a monster of the greatest kind.)

QUEST: THE ASHES UNDERNEATH HIS NAILS (PART I) The message had come swiftly, the letter itself hastily written with a shaky hand. The request itself was simple; a plea for help from a village at the outskirts of Emprise du Lion, whose people have been mysteriously disappearing over the last few weeks. Considering the ongoing civil unrest that's still transpiring in Orlais the Inquisition made its decision to send out a team of agents to look into this message and see exactly what was going on. The eight agents tasked with the mission were given enough time to prepare for the trip ahead. They would all meet up first at the Inquisition camp set within the Emprise and from there travel for about a day until they reached where their destination was - Fromage, a quaint little village that rested at the outskirts of the area. From that point on, it was up to the agents of the Inquisition to solve this ongoing mystery. The mission: to discover the truth behind these disappearances - and to stop it, if possible.

INTO THE SEEKRIT CAVE

[OOC Note: Main investigation will have their own separate threads for left and right side respectively down below! This is just for... setup... yes. Feel free to just thread whatever you feel is appropriate in here.]

With all the guards being taken of now, the cave seems to be especially quiet when the agents finally step in. At first sight there doesn't seem to be anything inherently special with this cave - there isn't any sudden cache of lyrium or things that would usually catch one's eye. But what is clear is that this cave seems to be part of a network of some sorts; at the back of cavern they're in are two separate paths, the cave itself apparently having diverged at that point. The left path seems to be better lit as opposed to the right, although from where they look its easy to make out the entrance of another cavern not too far down the right path. Either way, it seems like there is something on either of the paths. It's probably for the best if the agents split up to cover more ground - especially when its hard to tell just how deep this apparent network of caves runs.
