Electric Eluvian Boogaloo Bash During the Grand Tourney, Alexandrie de Fontaine persuaded Guieffroy Loupe to give the Inquisition use of a fortress he owns in the Hunterhorn Mountains. While ordinarily of little use, it's at risk of soon being behind enemy lines, which allows for a disadvantage to be turned to advantage. Skyhold is asking us to do whatever is necessary to place an accessible eluvian in the fortress before movement through the region becomes impossible. This will give the Inquisition a backdoor to get behind enemy lines and serve as an experiment for the feasibility of using eluvians for faster transportation across Thedas in general.
To pull that off, the project will, obviously, need at least two eluvians: one to place in the fortress, and another to keep at the Gallows.
Team One: The Jailbreak Jitterbug WHAT: The call goes out to those who may be in possession of Eluvians, or the knowledge thereof, to lend their precious artifacts to the Inquisition's needs. Quietly. Very quietly. For this mission, you'll need to deliver the request to the following Inquisition members and supporters without being seen or overheard. Player-Characters will have their own opinions, but are members of the inquisition. Please ask Morrigan and/or Merrill to lend the use of their precious elven artifacts to the Inquisition's use for this endeavor, and do your best to convince them. You will be provided with a small discretionary fund to support these efforts and to compensate the Inquisition's eluvian-having allies for their assuredly temporary and not at all permanent generosity, which has a definite end-date, at some point. WHEN: Harvestmere WHERE: Kirkwall WHO: 1-3 people, at least one of whom ought to be a member of the Scouting Divison. Cannot be part of "Team 2"
Team Two: The Heist Hula WHAT: With success as a mandate, and on orders from Skyhold, native elves will use the Lights of Arlathan and the various underworld connections to locate and extract working Eluvians from at least one target for Inquisition purposes. Since this mission is of the utmost importance, we need to get those Eluvians quickly and by any means possible— if they can't be convinced to part with their prizes, they must be coerced, bypassed, or otherwise overridden. But, it's better to do this quietly, and without a fuss; possibly without even exploring the diplomatic option first. Use your best judgement and do not fail. There are two potential targets: Option A: A wealthy collector of oddities and self-proclaimed naturalist who has an Eluvian as a prized part of his extensive private collection. Option B: the estate of a Ferelden noble with too much money, too many dogs, and some real mean-spirited locks. He keeps his Eluvian in his private chambers. For some reason. WHEN: Harvestmere WHERE: The Free Marches, Northern Ferelden WHO: 2-4 People, at least one of whom ought to be a member of the Scouting Divison. Cannot be part of "Team 1." Please include your preference of heist target when signing up.
Team Three: Scoutin' Samba WHAT: This is a two-part mission. With at least one eluvian acquired and another identified as a potential target, a team will enter the first eluvian and attempt to emerge on the other side. They will enter the crossroads, experience the supreme weirdness of them, and deal with three (3) random terrors from a handy-dandy random encounter table. If and when they emerge victorious, it's time for the whole team to pack up and take a field trip to Orlais! Traveling in secret to a hidden fortress in Hunterhorn Mountains, along the way they will encounter a further three (3) random hazards from the random encounter table, and must cope with them while maintaining the integrity of the eluvian, the secrecy of the mission, and the timetable of the move. They will then need to hide the mirror and escape like the dirty sneaks that they are. WHEN: Harvestmere WHERE: Orlais, The Crossroads Between Eluvians WHO: 2-5 People, at least one of whom ought to be part of the Scouting Division. Can also be a part of either "Team 1" or "Team 2" Please include the results of 1 D4 die roll when signing up.
