Project Sashamiri: Peculiar Weather We're Having

[overharrowed]

WHO: Alais, Sawbones, and Aleksei, guest starring Julius
WHAT: A team resumes looking into the freak weather for going on five years in Emprise du Lion.
WHEN: Various points in August
WHERE: Mostly Emprise du Lion
NOTES: OOC post here; no warnings for now.

Julius is apologetic, when he briefs the group, that he is giving them relatively little to go on. Whether it was a sparse report or simply the lack of anything relevant to include in it, earlier attempts to get at what is keeping Emprise du Lion's weather unnaturally frosty have turned up nothing actionable. He gives them a fair amount of leeway, with the gentle reminder that Riftwatch is currently trying to shore up its reputation for helping Orlais. It's hard to say what will constitute success when even the project leader isn't quite certain what they're looking for, but he suggests that even a solid idea of where to look will be appreciated.

"It does," Alais insists — a bit more primly (the know-it-all's assertion of dominance). "Who'd like to fetch the explosives?"

And who's helping her rope some ice. She spreads her palms apart, and the cord lifts, coiling between them as a snake.

"I will lower the ice, if you toss it up to me."

Which leaves the Chantry sister to get the explosives. If the picture is strange, Aleksei doesn't seem to register the humor in it.

"Maybe we try for a very small explosion. Are we able to control the size or is it all or nothing?"

The real question, Aleksei realizes, is whether or not they're concerned with salvaging whatever is inside. Perhaps they aren't going to transport the lyrium, but if there is anything in with the lyrium, Enchanter Julius might wish to look at it.

Aleksei has some mild curiosity, but that's neither here nor there. It sounds like nothing they'll find is going to be easy to sell.

"Reckon they won't give us enough for a large explosion. We just need to make the hole big enough for us to get through anyway."

Which will be easier for her rather than the other two, but she'll still high off to get some explosives. Because this is a reasonable enough plan considering it's freezing and they don't have the time to make a production out of this.
