WHO: Bellamy, Church, Clarke, Cosima, Fenris
WHAT: Orzammar asked for the Inquisition to come fix Thedas' very first underground rift, and our brave heroes are just the heroes for the job. The Inquisition has also asked our heroes to heroically take the measure of those controlling the Inquisition's lyrium contract, in hopes of softening them up to renegotiate for a better price. And then there's that dead dwarf....
WHEN: vaguely Justinian
WHERE: Orzammar
NOTES: at least one dead body

starters for each piece of this mission are in the comments!

[Church is not here for doing deals. He'll accompany them and maybe even pick up some knowledge about 1) how to deal with these underground dwarves, since that's apparently different than aboveground dwarves, 2) lyrium, more than he already knows, and 3) the sort of deals already in place and into the future. He doesn't suspect he'll use that knowledge, but still, good to know something.

No, he's mostly here to close rifts and kick demon ass and maybe impress some impressionable dwarves. He normally covers his sharded hand with a glove to block out the light, seem like normal, but this trip underground, he's mostly left it off. He's easily identifiable that way, and nothing will get in the way.

But with all the demons after a tight passageway squeeze, he can't even get at a good angle to start closing it. Church dodges aside rather than rushing ahead, putting up the mystical shard of a shield when a rage demon raises a burning appendage to lash out on him. He'll worry about building heat in the room if they don't get this dealt with quickly, and he slashes with his sword.

Maybe Bellamy makes him miss the crossbow, but he knows it wouldn't do him any good if he'd brought it into close quarters combat like this.]

Watch the scary ones!

[He's super helpful, guys.]
