[OPEN] Smoke and Mirrors: Perendale

[minrathousian]

WHO: OPEN!
WHAT: The Inquisition's forces fight against the Venatori to prevent Corypheus from seizing power in Perendale.
WHEN: Early November.
WHERE: Perendale, Nevarra
NOTES: Violence.

On the edges of Corypheus' territory, Perendale is the site of a major Venatori offensive--a push by Corypheus' forces to take control of the city and push his influence further across Thedas. The Inquisition's forces have rallied to answer the Nevarran governor's desperate plea for support. The battle for Perendale will decide the fate of hundreds within the city's walls.

Courage is fine, preparation better, but neither sinks or soothes the certainty of danger. Why should it? The brave, the prepared — they die too. That’s just how a battle works.

Eventually there’s nothing left to sharpen, no joints or plans to check and double-check; no reason to tread the ground any further to mud. She finds her way to Teren, drops down to sit a short distance beside.

"Some good the future does," Her hands fold, fingers knit on reflex (can’t fidget if they’re locked in place). "When it only changes on you."

It's been on her mind, that final flight to Haven. To mark by that place, everything should have gone wrong by now. Everything might have already.

At the moment Teren is oiling all her belts and straps, the holders of her many smaller blades and lockpicks and emergency potions. She's a little surprised to see someone sit beside her, but once she sees it's Wren, the surprise goes away.
"Best that it does," she replies without looking at Wren, "it's nothing I'd care to repeat."
