Into the DANGER ZONE

WHO: All Rifters + the 7 natives who signed up
WHAT: Searching the ruins of Haven for survivors, an Inquisition crew finds something strange. And demons. It's kind of scary that the demons aren't the strange thing.
WHEN: Third week of Harvestmere, 9:41
WHERE: Haven
NOTES: We've broken rifters and rescuers (or "rescuers") into two groups. This log has an arrival comment for each group--you can start smaller subthreads beneath those rather than try to have an eight- or nine-person log, just incorporate surrounding chaos/fighting--and a third top-level set for the whole group's journey back to Skyhold


You were asleep-- deeply or fitfully, for the last time or just resting your eyes for a moment-- and then you were not. And wherever you were was not, anymore, replaced by nothing but the sensation of falling, tumbling into endless, bottomless nothing. If this were still a dream, you would wake before you hit the ground. You can't die in a dream, they say. In some worlds.

But there's no waking here, just a flare of green-white light and a jarring impact, barely softened by snow that lies a foot deep with an icy crust that cracks beneath the force of your landing. The wind is biting cold, the sun is bright, and you are not alone. Others thud to the ground nearby, as bewildered as you, and others run up who look no less confused for having their feet beneath them.

You are also not as you were: in the palm of your left hand there glows a narrow splinter of light the same sickly green as whatever brought you here. It aches, a bone-deep pain that gnaws even through all the distractions. Like that you're being attacked by monsters, some tall, spindly stick-things with too many eyes, some hunched and hooded with no eyes at all.

Welcome to Thedas!

The barrier was very, very welcome, especially since that demon was quite literally barrelling towards them. As soon at the barrier was up, Gavin grabbed Peter's arm and then threw himself down to the ground, dragging Peter with him as the demon clawed through the air right where they had been a second ago.

He hit the ground hard, but since he'd done it on purpose, it hadn't winded him, and he was already pulling an arrow free to shoot from his new, lateral, position.

The demon screamed with anger as the arrow embedded slammed into it, exploding with enough force to send the demon to the ground a few feet away, and give Gavin a chance to get back to his feet, dragging Peter up with him.

Peter is more than willing to keep the barriers coming and be moved around like a rag doll. If he had a full moment to take in the situation, he'd probably be making a rapid escape towards a more defensible area- such as a hole in the wall only a rat could fit in. But as this is a group affair, he'll leave the offense to the elf and keep the defense up as best he can while being pulled towards safety.

"T-there's people down there- new people. Did you see?"

"I saw," Gavin replied, trying to focus on killing the shit out of the demon before it got back up and killed them - but luckily, the next arrow he launched was the last one required, and with a scream it tore up into shreds of the Fade and disappeared. Gavin let out a breath and got back to his feet, pulling Peter up with him.

"They - they came right out of the rift. You'd know better than me - are they demons?"

Peter's gaze snaps to Gavin, a protest that no, guys, really he didn't associate with demons right on his lips- and, oh. No. Just the mage thing in general. Right. The brass ring demons where eternally reaching for. And he swallowed it down and shook his head.

"They don't normally- usually demons looking human is more a one on one thing, I think. Look how you want them to look so you'll do what they want. Someone desired....unless they've, er, possessed a corpse or something."

Which...maybe? Peter looks at Gavin with a helpless shrug.

"I'm just an apprentice."

"Well they don't look like corpses, at least," Gavin said. That was good. He tried to imagine corpses shuffling towards him, and--

And decided he really did not want to imagine that.

"We should probably help the others," he said looking back. "Creators, but this was supposed to be an easy afternoon's guard duty--"
