{ CLOSED } a daring rescue

[serannas]

WHO: Ellana Ashara, Merrick Ashara, Araceli Bonaventura, and Jamie McCrimmon
WHAT: O Brother Where Art Thou (Part II (A)) aka Spying on the Avvar in order to rescue the missing scouts.
WHEN: Backdated to before the big scouting missions in Orlais.
WHERE: the Fallow Mire
NOTES: Violence, maybe?

Now that all the clues on the missing scouts' whereabouts have led to the ruined castle in the south of the Mire, the group decides to check it out. They split up before getting too close, with Korrin, Zevran, Walker, and Krem heading west and Ellana, Merrick, Araceli, and Jamie heading east. It would be suicide to just run in and attack with no information on numbers, so after a quick discussion, the east group decides to climb up to the roof top of the castle and look down through the gaps to see how many Avvar are inside.

It's almost like being on an adventure with the Doctor again, only instead of being told to go creep down a corridor and see what beastie lurks at the end of it, there's a group of them creeping over a rooftop. The end result is much the same either way, giving them a chance to get a bird's eye view of the warriors - and maybe if they're lucky, figure out what their plans are, as well.

So far, it's going well enough. He knows Ellana, and is comfortable with working with her. The other two - Merrick and Araceli - he's not as sure about, but they do appear to know what they're doing, and he lets them take point, concentrating on keeping moving as quietly as possible. He knows well enough making noise could be a real problem, and he's more than happy to not utter a word until they can actually get to a place where they can settle in and get an idea of the numbers they might be facing.

One of them'll likely have to use the crystal at that point to get in touch with the others, anyway, and likely any plan they're going to come up with will happen then. Until that happens, though, he'll just still to following everyone else's lead.
