Following Tony Stark's announcement and its glimmer of slightly insane-sounding hope, there's work to be done. The magic/science, of course; anyone with the ability to help construct a dragon-blood-powered time machine may be enlisted into that effort.
For everyone else, there are fetch quests: everyone collect three Stormheart and five Volcanic Aurum. Swiftly negotiating for raw materials or for jewelry or weapons that can be melted down—or stealing them, because whatever, there will only be consequences if this doesn't work—requires venturing out of Kirkwall to track down miners, merchants, and collectors. And then there's the dragon blood.
In the meantime, keeping things afloat and planning contingencies remains necessary. For now, this remains only something that might work. If it doesn't, this is still the world and the war they're stuck with, so keeping it from getting worse in any avoidable way would be ideal.

no subject
As soon as he sees the dragon, he has a second thought. In fact, he has several second thoughts; third thoughts, even. He feels himself pale, and he swallows loudly. Chances are he is not going to come out of this unscathed. Or even alive. But no matter. However terrified he is, he can use that fear; he can help. Rushing into danger is what he does, and if they succeed in getting the blood they need, all of this will be worth it.
Peter has some jars and rags, carrying all of them in a bag that reminds him of one of his own bookbags back home, except made from a much sturdier and more reliable material. He keeps said bag close as he watches the dragon, waiting for his moment to sneak in close and grab as much blood as he can.
The dragon is smart, he notices; she knows how to listen for their movements and breathing. This feels like tempting Jaws, except Jaws is a giant ass dragon who knows how to move and isn't confined to the water.
When he sees a wound open up from one of the attacks from their group, Peter rushes over to that wound, jar held out as he aims it for the blood dripping from the wound. He manages to fill the jar half-way before the dragon notices him, and, oh fuck, that sure is fire coming towards him.
He ducks, rolls, and just narrowly avoids being turned into a Kirkwall Fried Spider, though he definitely didn't avoid collecting some burns from the way his skin cracks and burns as he moves. He winces.
Unfortunately, the dragon anticipated this move, and before Peter has time to move out of the way, his Peter Tingle still acting up, he finds himself with a face full of dragon claw.
Welp.
