OOC Discussion about an Emergency Meeting in Response to The Abomination
Civil War & Rifter Investigations
Meanwhile, Cassandra immediately made her way across Skyhold to the War Room, where she was joined shortly by Leliana. Anyone in the Great Hall at the time with good hearing and no moral objections to eavesdropping would have heard a few moments of silence, then angry shouting by the Left and Right Hands before they were joined by Cullen and Josephine. Those with exceptionally good hearing might have made out words or phrases among the shouting, concerning such subjects as rifts, elves, mages, paranoia, imagined crimes, safety, and the good of the Inquisition.
Inquisition soldiers have continued to escort rifters and shardbearers to Cassandra's office - now not only limited to those who were present to close the rift in the courtyard. Meanwhile, Galadriel has been conspicuously absent from her usual haunts. Anyone brave enough to go to the dungeons to investigate will be allowed a short visit, though not without supervision by Inquisition guards.
The Right and Left Hands of the Divine have not been seen in each other's presence since. There are (unsubstantiated) rumors that they communicate only through runners, delivering ever more snide and cutting remarks.
Assassination Attempt
A few hours before, some truly terrible poetry was distributed around Skyhold, where just anyone could read. Eventually theories start to circulate that the poetry has something to do with the attack on the Left Hand.
Some rumours are as follows;
That Zevran Arainai of the Crows was involved in her poisoning - a Crow and quick arrival to the scene, with ample opportunity, but what motive? Vengeance, perhaps?
That Morrigan, Arcane Advisor to the Empress, might also have orchestrated it has been another rumour- but what might benefit the Empress about seeing the Inquisition's spymaster fall? It is suggested that she has been haunting the Spymaster like a shadow, with some saying she is waiting for a chance to finish what has been begun.
It is confirmed that Dorian, Zevran and Josephine were the first to arrive, and that Josephine's shrieks were heard in the library (although initially assumed to be the result of a raven being monstrous by some, apparently.) There are those who suggest that perhaps there is some sort of sordid romance situation involving any of the three who found Leliana in various combinations and with various partings being spurned and vengeful... but it's just a theory. Rumours are particularly enthusiastic regarding the Tragic Love™ of Dorian and Leliana, doomed by jealousy and... well. Antivans, apparently.
Also confirmed: Anders and Adelaide were the medical personnel called on to assist, and whom have been keeping her alive.
Later on rumours also pick up that two separate groups have left, reportedly on missions related to the Left Hand, but what exactly?
Shardbearers & Venatori
A second team (Adelaide, Bellamy, Bruce, Ciri, Korrin, Merril, Sabine & Teren) was deployed to close the second rift and rescue the missing first team if possible.
Different rumours circulate, including Venatori investigating shards, undead, blood magic and gold mines. One rifter supposedly freed dome slaves? Who knows.
A number of people from the mission have been in the medical tents for (regular) lyrium detoxification and varying degrees of injuries. One rifter, Ruby Lucas, has banished herself to the dungeons, wrists shackled, since their return.
Re: Shardbearers & Venatori
Would you be up to having Solas come down and "check on" her?
