I dream of gardens in the desert sand

[sistertohermen]

WHO: Rachette Dakal, Salvatore, Dismas, Clint Barton, Fenris, and a couple of NPC redshirts
WHAT: Scout the Western Approach
WHEN: After leaving the Emprise du Lion group past the Frostbacks
WHERE: Western Approach, aka video game desert, near Griffon Wing Keep
NOTES: Violence, needless redshirt death (maybe), bickering


a. On the approach
Tracking the Wardens from the Highway to the desert, playing pretend as mere merchants and fellow travelers along the way. Possibly gaining some gossip as to the whereabouts of the Wardens. When they finally get there, it's clear Venatori are about.

b. Cave and cliffs
Setting up camp. A Tevinter palace in the cliffs! (Guarded by Venatori. Who wants to try and sneak it?) More Venatori behind an extremely suspicious and extremely unbreakable door in the cliffside. Hanging out in their cave and exploring it. Mines, resources, places to map and scout.

c. Griffon Wing Keep
Scouting it out. Watching the Wardens. Hopefully able to get close enough to get some idea of what they're up to without tipping them off. Watching them start to leave for the Fortress. Hmmm, suspicious!

d. Margot
A young Warden recruit on the run, stumbling on the group. Please let her go with you and away from all these blood sacrifices! (And possibly blow the mission by tipping off the Wardens!)

e. Scouting and trouble
Sulfur pits, ugh. Also, dragons. Or singular dragon. Look, there is a dragon somewhere around here, you're sure of it. Resources! Mapping! Getting food and water please it's a desert it sucks it's dangerous. Venatori stumbling on the group--what do?

f. Wildcard
For all your None Of The Above needs.

"Aren't you just a ray of sunshine."

Clint's not a big fan of Tevinter either; maybe it was something in the water up in Minrathous that seemed to make them insufferable, or the fact that mages were mostly insufferable by nature, but something rubbed him the wrong way about them. Evil mages just seemed to be so cliche.

"Easier would be an arrow to the neck."

Fenris cocked his head to one side, looking out into the desert at where there were most definitely Venatori hiding, then back at Clint. "It would be silent. Not as much fun as taking their heads off, but I could live with it."

He truly was giving it serious consideration.

[snarksman]

"Not as bloody, either, but sometimes you have to make compromise."

The archer shrugs, holding onto the limb of his bow, tugging it slightly against his chest. "We should be doing something instead of just waiting here."

[aggregiopavali]

Ah, nothing quite like fighting and ending up absolutely covered in blood.

"I agree," Fenris said, shifting slightly, shuffling on the spot. "Perhaps scouting to find out the camps?" Because then they could avoid them, of course. Not raid them later.

[snarksman]

Clint would rather kill a bunch of Venatori and raid their camps than spare them. They've caused way too many problems for his liking. "Scout their camps to find some decent food. Something the sand hasn't gotten into."

He's really beginning to hate the sand.
