PLOT: WTF is Happening in the Anderfels
PARTICIPANTS: Alistair, Ciri, Inessa, Merrill & Rachette
LOG: LOG & PLOTTING
PREMISE: After the situation with the Wardens of Weisshaupt went from bad to worse there has been little coming out of the Anderfels. Then what little information stopped altogether so it's time to find out just what is going on.

OUTCOME:

Upon arrival the group set up camp outside of Hossberg and took note + learned of the following:

— Corypheus' dragon circles the city pretty periodically but it does not seem to follow any set times. No sign of Corypheus despite the dragon.
— Wardens patrol the city in place of a proper city guard or rather in place of the former city guard.
— There are no obvious signs of mind control and no demons to be seen but there are no signs of any Warden mages.
— Tevinter has loaned some of its military out and they are visibly present inside of the city to "help" maintain order.
— First Warden Vidar now occupies the royal palace. His face is very punchable.
— There was riots at the dragon's first appearance but with the Wardens and Tevinter soldiers present the city, though tense, is calm for the time being.

They were able to scout the city, locate Hilde and make contact with her twice resulting in her handing over the ciphered papers. The group then decided to get Hilde out of Hossberg and out of the Anderfels by coming up with a plan that basically amounted to causing a huge scene.

Antivan operas are put to shame as Team Ruckus causes a ruckus. Stands are knocked over, people are punched and they basically get a big crowd going in the already crowded market space. This gives Hilde the chance to run from her handler while following the directions that the group laid out for her while continuing to cause distractions and cut off any followers.

Unknown to them, and even Hilde herself, the handmaid had been tagged by a magical enchantment that activated if enough distance was put between her and Junia causing an explosion to be set off. It isn't pretty.

They hide out in the city until shit can calm down after a woman literally explodes in the streets (while Ciri and Inessa wonder where everyone is back at camp) and it is here that they learn about the Prince from a rather drunk former servant. The servant also let's it slip about an old escape passage built into the fortress.

After one failure, they decide to go and try to steal the Prince back from the Venatori infested fortress using the old hidden passages they had learned about. This goes surprisingly well considering how things went with Hilde.

They also steal miscellaneous documents, letters, maps and whatever might look useful but without any real clue if it'll help or not.

On their way back to camp with one small child in hand they come across a group of Venatori, giants, Wardens and darkspawn with latter two groups standing around with glowing red eyes. Not a good sign.

The team gets the hell out the Anderfels as fast as they can with the Prince before anyone notices that he is missing.
