We tried using a torch to see through the fog while we were at the pyre and it really didn't help. [so yes, agreed.] Maybe someone has a power that can provide a brighter light? Or even one that can see through the fog at all.
As much as I don't like it, this may be something we just have to wait on. Like giving it enough time that the answers are easier to give without causing more problems.
Right? I mean we apparently fell out of the sky and might solve their problem via sacrifice. [:unamused:] But then again we've seen some things come through without having to do much. Like our boxes from the swamp. Maybe something else will happen like that for us.
I think a lot of this goes beyond humor... [there is nothing funny about this, she thinks.] Don't tell me this isn't your first time dealing with cults though.
I'm starting to become less and less shocked by how common this is for some of you. [are you guys okay? are your worlds okay?] Were you able to stop those ones...?
Maker, no. Some are simply in for the money and power. Some believe what they preach and want to convert everyone. Then there's the bit who'll deny to their dying breath they're not a cult entirely but honestly, they're not fooling anyone.
[ you know, normal ye olde nonsense ]
Lucky for me, most of them didn't operate within Kirkwall but you do often hear about it through the ports gossip chain. Like old maids, some of them.
Better to know about them than experience them firsthand without an idea. [just a mild thought.] But still...most of them still implies some of them are within Kirkwall.
The Qunari is technically considered its own religion but given how their methods range from 'you can join on your own' or 'we will simply take over your city and force you to comply or die' it's a little questionable.
You know...[just a thoughtful little pause.] Everything about this continues to sound a little concerning. But I can't say a compromise is a bad thing. As long as it's not actually doing more harm to yourself somehow?
Usually, by the time they're bellowing, it's far too late to do much else, quite honestly. More than likely I've already said something that's upset them enough to start casting fireballs.
[ hawke don't aggravate the bad guys challenge failed immediately ]
Though in the case of the Arishok, that was a direct challenge so even if I wished to quiver in my boots, it'd have to be done in front of an audience.

That would be bloody useful. If only there was an easier way to ask these things.

Though it certainly would be nice if the solutions simply fell out of the sky and solved our problems.

As long as it doesn't require anything too ridiculous, I'm all for it. Cults always seem to have an odd sense of humor.

I could start listing them all if you'd like.

The latest ones at least. They're a bit like weeds, honestly. If you turn around for long enough they'll pop right back up and in triple the numbers.

It's fine though, we compromised.

If you're sure! You'd probably know how to handle something like that better than me anyway.

I suppose if you count bellowing right back at a fellow when he's trying to be crude...?

You have a tendency to act more than strategize, don't you? [she does not say this like it's bad.]
no subject
[ more like she forgets that's important until someone is yelling 'HAWKE, NO!!!!' behind her. as you do ]
I'm a great believer in figuring it out when we get there.

You sound like you'd get along pretty well with a couple of our friends in that case. They're pretty good at figuring it out on the fly.
