The Threat Remains

Marquise DuRellion

The PC opens the door to Josephine’s office to find her arguing with the Marquis DuRellion.

DuRellion (to Josephine): The Inquisition cannot remain, Ambassador, if you can’t prove it was founded on Justina’s orders.

Josephine (to DuRellion): This is an inopportune time, Marquis. More of the faithful flock here each day.

The PC approaches them.

Josephine (to DuRellion): But allow me to introduce you to the brave soul who risked [their] life to slow the magic of the Breach.

Josephine: [Mistress/Ser] [PC Last Name], this is the Marquis DuRellion, one of the Divine Justinia’s greatest supporters.

DuRellion (to PC): And the rightful owner of Haven. House DuRellion lent Justinia these lands for a pilgrimage. This ‘Inquisition’ is not a beneficiary of this arrangement.

1 - Dialogue options:

Investigate: You own this land? [2]
General: Its followers need shelter. [3]
General: The Divine’s advisors founded it. [4]
General: We all have bigger problems. [5]

2 - Investigate: You own this land?
PC: This is the first I’ve heard of Haven having an owner outside the Chantry.
DuRellion: My wife, Lady Machen of Denerim, has claim to Haven by ancient treaty with the monarchs of Ferelden. We were honored to lend its use to Divine Justinia. She is… she was a woman of supreme merit. I will not let an upstart order remain on her holy grounds. [Back to 1]

3 - General: Its followers need shelter.
PC: People have been injured. You can’t just turn them out onto the snow.
DuRellion: And who benefits if they stay?
Josephine: Divine Justinia, Marquis. The Inquisition – not the Chantry – is sheltering the pilgrims who mourn her.
DuRellion: Why is the Chantry ignoring the faithful?
Josephine: Because it remains in shock. [6]

4 - General: The Divine’s advisors founded it.
PC: Interesting, considering the Inquisition was begun by the Left and Right Hands of the Divine.
DuRellion: I’ve seen no written records from Sister Leliana or Seeker Pentaghast that Justinia approved the Inquisition.
Josephine (to PC): If we won’t take her at her word, I’m afraid Seeker Pentaghast must challenge him to a duel.
DuRellion: What?
Josephine (to DuRellion): It is a matter of honor among the Nevarrans. Shall I arrange the bout for tonight?
DuRellion (to Josephine): No! No. Perhaps my reaction to the Inquisition’s presence was somewhat hasty. [6]

5 - General: We all have bigger problems.
PC: Demons are pouring from the sky, and you’re worried about land claims?
DuRellion: Haven is the DuRellions’ rightful property!
Josephine: Has Empress Celene officially acknowledged your possession of Haven?
DuRellion: The empress… has not yet had the opportunity to do so. [6]

6 - Scene continues.

DuRellion: (Sighs.)

Josephine (to DuRellion): We face a dark time, Your Grace. Divine Justinia would not want her passing to divide us. She would, in fact, trust us to forge new alliances to the benefit of all, no matter how strange they might seem.

DuRellion: I’ll think on it, Lady Montilyet. The Inquisition might stay in the meanwhile.

DuRellion leaves.

Dialogue options:

Investigate: Does the marquis own Haven? [8]
General: Sorry for interrupting. [9]
General: You handled him well. [10]
General (if you don’t Investigate first): Good riddance. [11]
General (if you Investigate first): So the marquis was bluffing [12]

8 - Investigate: Does the marquis own Haven?
PC: Do the DuRellions actually have a claim on this place?
Josephine: His Grace’s position is not so strong as he presents it. Despite their Ferelden relations, the DuRellions are Orlesian. If the marquis wishes to claim Haven, Empress Celene must negotiate with Ferelden on his behalf. Her current concerns are a bit larger than minor property disputes.
[Back to 7]

9 - General: Sorry for interrupting.
PC: I apologize for the intrusion. I didn’t realize you were meeting with the marquis.
Josephine: You did little harm. In truth, the debate was most beneficial as practice for those to come.
PC: You expect more people in Haven?
Josephine: Undoubtedly. And each visitor will spread the story of the Inquisition after they depart. An ambassador should ensure the tale is as complimentary as possible. [13]

10 - General: You handled him well.
PC: I’m so pleased the marquis isn’t tossing us out into the cold.
Josephine: His Grace is one of the first of many dignitaries we must contend with.
PC: You expect more people in Haven?
Josephine: Undoubtedly. And each visitor will spread the story of the Inquisition after they depart. An ambassador should ensure the tale is as complimentary as possible. [13]

11 - General: Good riddance.
PC: Let’s hope ‘His Arrogance’ doesn’t return.
Josephine: Even should he leave, the marquis will share his thoughts on us upon his return to Val Royeaux. Every guest we receive – and we will receive them – will spread the Inquisition’s story. An ambassador should ensure the tale is as complimentary as possible. [13]

12 - General: So the marquis was bluffing.
PC: ‘His Grace’ was all bluster, then.
Josephine: Even should he leave, the marquis will share his thoughts on us upon his return to Val Royeaux. Every guest we receive – and we will receive them – will spread the Inquisition’s story. An ambassador should ensure the tale is as complimentary as possible. [13]

13 - Dialogue options:

Investigate: How did you become ambassador? [14]
Investigate: What’s your background? [15]
General: I’m glad you’re here. [16]
General: Having you around can’t hurt. [17]
General: These politics are ridiculous. [18]

14 - Investigate: How did you become ambassador?
PC: May I ask what brought you to work for the Inquisition?
Josephine: Sister Leliana approached me. We’ve been acquainted for quite some time. For better or worse, being the Inquisition’s diplomat has become as interesting as she promised.
[Back to 13]

15 - Investigate: What’s your background?
PC: What sort of dealings have you had with nobility?
Josephine: For some years, I was the royally appointed court ambassador from Antiva to Orlais. The nobility of Thedas is a rather singular sphere. Those I’m not acquainted with, I know through reputation.
[Back to 13]

16 - General: I’m glad you’re here.
PC: The Inquisition is lucky to have you as an advocate, Lady Montilyet.
Josephine: Thank you. Let us hope so. Thedas’s politics have become… agitated as of late. I hope to guide us down smoother paths. [19]

17 - General: Having you around can’t hurt.
PC: I’m glad for your help. I have a feeling the Inquisition’s going to need it.
Josephine: I do believe you are correct. Thedas’s politics have become… agitated as of late. I hope to guide us down smoother paths. [19]

18 - General: These politics are ridiculous.
PC: If every noble wandering by is as stubborn as the marquis, what good is it talking to them?
Josephine: Every kingdom is subject to its lords. The Inquisition will require their goodwill to survive. [19]

19 - Scene continues.

Josephine: But please excuse me. I’ve much work to do before the day is done.

Scene ends.

Champions of the Just/In Hushed Whispers

Ire of the Chantry

The PC approaches in Haven’s Chantry. Josephine is speaking with a dwarf.

Josephine: The Inquisition appreciates your assistance in this matter, Lady Korpin.

Korpin: And my miners appreciate your business. You’ll have your lyrium by the end of the week. I should tell you, Ambassador, the Chantry raised some fuss when they learned about our arrangement.

Josephine: The Inquisition must certainly seem an audacious idea to the grand clerics. We hope to convince them it is a necessary one as well.

The two see the Inquisitor, and Lady Korpin turns back to Josephine.

Korpin: I’ll take my leave. Good day.

She leaves.

PC: Who was she, Ambassador?

Josephine: A merchant. I thought we should reach out to the dwarves to secure lyrium for the Inquisition’s (mages/templars). According to Lady Korpin, it’s raised the ire of the Chantry.

PC: How?

Josephine: Access to lyrium makes us rather more formidable than they anticipated. We are becoming a challenge. Sadly, the remaining grand clerics appear to be consolidating the Chantry’s power instead of comforting the masses.

Dialogue options:

General: The Chantry’s incompetent. [1]
General: It’s needed more than ever. [2]
General: It’s been this way for years. [3]

1 - General: The Chantry’s incompetent.
PC: The Chantry couldn’t solve its own problems when it had a Divine.
Josephine: Yet many people continue to bear it great love. We will not benefit from its decline. [4]

2 - General: It’s needed more than ever.
PC: The Chantry should be a place of hope, not anther group scrambling for answers.
Josephine: That must be its strength again. The Chant did much to bridge nations. [4]

3 - General: It’s been this way for years.
PC: Mage Circles started falling years ago. The Chantry was troubled even before the Divine’s murder.
Josephine: Yet many people continue to bear it great love. We will not benefit from its decline. [4]

4 - Scene continues.

Josephine and the PC move into the makeshift office.

Josephine: Little but the Chantry ties Orlais, Nevarra, Ferelden, Antiva, and even Rivain to a common cause.

The PC takes a seat on a nearby bench.

PC: Has the Chantry truly promoted such peace?

Josephine: Andraste’s Chant is familiar across kingdoms, a source of many shared customs. That is the crucial point. Common ground is the start of all negotiations.

Dialogue options:

General: I can see the importance. [5]
General: You make it sound easy. [6]
General: And the start of many fights. [7]

5 - General: I can see the importance.
PC: I suppose a shared faith can be useful when talking with strangers.
Josephine: Precisely! And these similar interest are merely where we begin. [8]

6 - General: You make it sound easy.
PC: So if everyone listens to the Chant, things will be smooth as silk?
Josephine: I did say commonality is merely a beginning, but it’s an important one. [8]

7 - General: And the start of many fights.
PC: Are you sure? Families often fight the hardest.
Josephine: Having grown up among four siblings, I conceded your point. I’ve found, however, that the only time two parties cannot negotiate is when they cease to speak. [8]

8 - Scene continues.

Josephine: We must learn to think beyond our own wants to secure peace in Thedas.

Dialogue options:

Flirt: You sound too good to be true. [9]
General: That’s an ambitious notion. [10]
General: That’s a tall order. [11]
General: That’s not our job. [12]

9 - Flirt: You sound too good to be true.
PC: How did someone so lovely and selfless go into Orlesian politics, Lady Montilyet?
Josephine: Well. That is—Really, you give me too much credit. While you’re here, I do have a question. [13]

10 - General: That’s an ambitious notion.
PC: Planning to steer the history of the world, Ambassador Montilyet?
Josephine: I believe the Inquisition is already charting that course. Which brings me to a question, if you have a moment. [13]

11 - General: That’s a tall order.
PC: The Inquisition will have plenty of time for that between finding the Divine’s murderer and sealing the Breach.
Josephine: Busy as we are, I do have a question for you, if you’ve a moment. [13]

12 - General: That’s not our job.
PC: The Inquisition is only here to deal the Breach. Nothing more.
Josephine (sided with mages): We’ve become more than that by helping the mages. The powers have taken notice.
Josephine (sided with templars): By declaring ourselves on the side of the templars, we became more than that. The powers have taken notice.
Josephine: Speaking of which: I have a question, if you’ve the time. [13]

13 - Scene continues.

Josephine: The remaining grand clerics sent a missive inquiring about evens at the Temple of Sacred Ashes. They demand to know whether the Inquisition officially claims that Andraste saved you from the Breach. If it were up to you, how would you reply?

14 - Dialogue options:

Investigate: How will you? [15]
General: That Andraste chose me. [16]
General: I don’t claim to be holy. [17]
General: I don’t know. [18]
General: That’s private. [19]

15 - Investigate: How will you?
PC: Will my answer change your reply to the Chantry?
Josephine: If Leliana, Cassandra, Cullen, and I could agree on our official stance, I could answer that. We should decide soon. The revered mothers don’t seem to know what to make of you.
[Back to 14]

16 - General: That Andraste chose me.
PC: I’d tell the Chantry that Andraste herself shielded me from harm.
Josephine: I’d truly like to hear the debates that would raise in the halls of Val Royeaux. Thank you for your thoughts. A good day to you. [20]

17 - General: I don’t claim to be holy.
PC: I’d tell the Chantry I was saved by circumstance, not divine intervention.
Josephine: Yet, as rumors you’re Andraste’s Herald grow, the grand clerics may not believe such a humble reply. A difficult situation, and I thank you for your answer. A good day to you. [20]

18 - General: I don’t know.
PC: I don’t know if a miracle from Andraste saved me any more than they do.
Josephine: Yet, as rumors you’re Andraste’s Herald grow, the grand clerics may not believe such a humble reply. A difficult situation, and I thank you for your answer. A good day to you [20]

19 - General: That’s private.
PC: I’d rather not say.
Josephine: Ah. I quite understand. A pleasant day to you. [20]

20 - Scene ends.

From the Ashes

Unpresentable

The PC approaches Josephine in her office.

If never spoken to in Haven:
Josephine: Inquisitor. I wish we could have spoken earlier, under better circumstances. I’ve just finished a tour of our new locale.

If spoken to in Haven:
Josephine: Inquisitor. I was just inspecting our new headquarters.

Josephine: Foundation cracks. Nesting animals. And miles from any center of civilization. The staff must make it presentable if we’re to receive any visitors of distinction.

Dialogue options:

General: Our allies will be forgiving. [1]
General: Yes, let’s keep up appearances. [2]
General: They’ll have to cope. [3]

1 - General: Our allies will be forgiving.
PC: The people coming must know we just survived Corypheus and a dragon.
Josephine: And they must be confident we can do so again. [4]

2 - General: Yes, let’s keep up appearances.
PC: It certainly wouldn’t do for the Inquisition to appear overly shabby.
Josephine: We’ve only just now convinced everyone we are precisely what Thedas requires. [4]

3 - General: They’ll have to cope.
PC: Our allies shouldn’t expect luxuries when they sign on to fight the first darkspawn.
Josephine: There is a difference between luxury and a building with no holes in the walls. [4]

4 - Scene continues.

Josephine (templars allied): The templars came from far to fight with us. They need to feel secure here.
Josephine (templars conscripted): The templars will be scrutinizing your leadership. They should feel secure here.
Josephine (mages allied): The mages are showing great trust in you. They need to feel safe here.
Josephine (mages conscripted): The mages will be gauging the Inquisition’s fortitude. They should feel safe here.

Dialogue options:

General: And you don’t? [5]
General: If they don’t, I can’t blame them. [6]
General: Our own safety comes first. [7]

5 - General: And you don’t?
PC: Do you not feel safe here?
Josephine: I’ve had… difficulty forgetting Corypheus’s attack on Haven. [8]

6 - General: If they don’t, I can’t blame them.
PC: After that battle with Corypheus, how could anyone not feel perfectly safe?
Josephine: I can’t stop dwelling on the day he attacked our camp. [8]

7 - General: Our own safety comes first.
PC: I’m more concerned about reinforcing Skyhold in case Corypheus attacks again.
Josephine: I’ve had… difficulty forgetting his assault on Haven. [8]

8 - Scene continues.

Josephine: Do you know who first leapt to arms? Our workers. They were so proud of our cause. Corypheus simply cut them down. So much screaming after that first blast of fire. So many people turned to ash.

Dialogue options:

Stoic: I won’t let it haunt me. [9]
Sad: I wish we’d saved more lives. [10]
Anxious: I’m troubled by it as well. [11]
Angry: We’ll have revenge. [12]

9 - Stoic: I won’t let it haunt me.
PC: I cant permit bad memories to influence the job we must do.
Josephine: A proper example to set for those still alive. [13]

10 - Sad: I wish we’d saved more lives.
PC: We lost far too many good people to that monster.
Josephine: I’m sure they’ll find rest with the Maker. [13]

11 - Anxious: I’m troubled by it as well.
PC: I keep feeling that fire’s heat on the back of my neck, too.
Josephine: Indeed. But you’re the one who lead us to safety. [13]

12 - Angry: We’ll have revenge.
PC: Corypheus will pay when I face him again.
Josephine: I dearly hope that happens soon. [13]

13 - Scene continues.

Josephine: Well. Before I return to my duties, allow me to congratulate you on your appointment as Inquisitor, my [lord/lady]. I will now bring diplomatic issues to your attention, and I’m more than happy to help with any situations that arise.

Dialogue options:

Flirt: Would you care to go for a stroll? [14]
General: No need to be all business. [15]
General: Such as a week’s worth of bathing? [16]
General: Carry on. [17]

14 - Flirt: Would you care to go for a stroll?
PC: I’m loathe to part from such pleasant company. Would you care to walk the castle with me?
Josephine: Oh. Well, a tour, then? Let me fetch the steward.
PC: That… isn’t precisely what I was hoping for.
Josephine: Well, do let me know if you change your mind. Now, I must find someone to prepare the guest quarters. Until later, Your Worship. [18]

15 - General: No need to be all business.
PC: You don’t have to be so formal just because I’m Inquisitor now, Josephine.
Josephine: Our allies and guests should see you treated with every courtesy, Inquisitor, especially considering the newness of your office. Fortunately, after your courage at Haven, it’s no difficult task to do. Until later, Your Worship. [18]

16 - General: Such as a week’s worth of bathing?
PC: I’d be delighted if you could conjure up a marble bath within the next hour.
Josephine: I’ll attempt to add that to the list. Until later, Your Worship. [18]

17 - General: Carry on.
PC: I will. Thank you, ambassador.
Josephine: My pleasure, Inquisitor. [18]

18 - Scene ends.

Here Lies the Abyss

A Petition

The PC speaks to Josephine after returning from Adamant.

Josephine: We’ve an interesting development, Inquisitor. A petition from the citizens of Val Royeaux. They… wish to know what Andraste said to you in the Fade.

PC: They think she spoke to me?

Josephine: Even Leliana can’t trace the rumors’ origin. It may be expedient to respond to those asking for Andraste’s words.

1 - Dialogue options:

Investigate: But I never saw Andraste. [2]
General: Say Andraste loves us all. [3]
General: Tell them I do speak for her. [4]
General: Tell them it wasn’t Andraste. [5]
General: Tell them nothing. [6]

2 - Investigate: But I never saw Andraste.
PC: It’s not Andraste who saved me.
Josephine: Few people outside Skyhold know it was Divine Justina who delivered you from the Fade. You could attempt to tell Val Royeaux’s citizens the truth, though it may not be as inspiring as they hope.
[Back to 1]

3 - General: Say Andraste loves us all.
PC: Tell these petitioners Andraste said she cares for us, always, as she walks by the Maker’s side.
Josephine: A fine sentiment. We will have it proclaimed in Val Royeaux. [7]

4 - General: Tell them I do speak for her.
PC: Tell the petitioners Andraste said her Herald’s word is as her own.
Josephine: That will certainly make the Chantry take notice, but we shall spread the word. [7]

5 - General: Tell them it wasn’t Andraste.
PC: Tell them the Inquisition’s position is that the Divine saved me from the Fade. Not Andraste.
Josephine: Very well. Some of the devout will be discouraged, but it will placate the Chantry. [7]

6 - General: Tell them nothing.
PC: The Inquisition won’t answer their petition.
Josephine: They will be disappointed, but rumor will eventually fill in the words for us. Let us hope they stay… within reason. [7]

7 - Scene ends.

Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts

The Game

Josephine: How bracing, to be in the thick of the Game again! The last time I was at Halamshiral was Countess Letienne’s wedding. There were a dozen affairs, five secret alliances, and a duel between two chevaliers over the vintage of an Antivan port. But until the duchess was unmasked, I’ve never seen the Winter Palace in shock.

Choice dependent dialogue:

Celene lived [1]
Celene killed [2]

1 - Celene lived

Dialogue options:

General: I don’t blame them. [3]
General: At least they weren’t bored. [4]
General: They should be shaken. [5]

3 - General: I don’t blame them. PC: You don’t see the Empress of Orlais almost killed in cold blood every day. Josephine: Not so brazenly, no.

4 - General: At least they weren’t bored. PC: No one can say the evening wasn’t memorable. Josephine: They’ve already begun composing songs about it in Val Royeaux.

5 - General: They should be shaken. PC: the nobility needed a shock. Corypheus played them all for fools. Josephine: I agree completely.

6 - Scene continues.

Josephine: The Game’s become increasingly insular in the past few years. Corypheus took advantage. It’s disturbing so few people in the Orlesian court were aware of the duchess’s machinations.

Dialogue options:

General: Celene knew. [7]
General: That surprised me. [8]
General: They are a selfish lot. [9]

7 - General: Celene knew. PC: The empress realized she was in danger. Josephine: She’s always in danger. Those loyal to her should have practiced more vigilance. [17]

8 - General: That surprised me. PC: You’d think the Game’s greatest players would spot a murderer in their midst. Josephine: As I said, insularity. Familiar rivals become the only ones worth sparring with. [17]

9 - General: They are a selfish lot. PC: The nobles of Orlais were worried about their own health, not the empress’s. Josephine: Some must have purposely turned a blind eye. There’s often room for advancement when the throne changes. [17]

2 - Celene killed

Dialogue options:

General: I don’t blame them. [10]
General: At least they weren’t bored. [11]
General: They should be shaken. [12]

10 - General: I don’t blame them. PC: They don’t see an empress murdered in front of their eyes every day.

11 - General: At least they weren’t bored. PC: No one can say the evening wasn’t memorable. Josephine: No, I should think not.

12 - General: They should be shaken. PC: the nobility needed a shock. Corypheus played them all for fools. Josephine: I agree completely.

13 - Scene continues.

Josephine: I must confess when was Celene was killed, my first reaction wasn’t sorrow—it was disappointment. How could the Empress of Orlais be taken in by the duchess’s plot?

Dialogue options:

General: I feel guilty about Celene. [14] General: She was only human. [15] General: She was reckless. [16]

14 - General: I feel guilty about Celene. PC: Celene trusted me, us, to help her. Josephine: She trusted she could use us. [17]

15 - General: She was only human. PC: Powerful or not, even an empress can’t know everything. Josephine: No. Evidently not. [17]

16 - General: She was reckless. PC: Celene sacrificed her safety for politics. Josephine: The blade at her back certainly proved sharper than the knives at her throat. [17]

17 - Scene continues.

Josephine: but let’s not lose sight of victory. Your actions at the ball have secured us allies and favors alike.

Dialogue options:

Flirt: Our dance was the highlight. [18]
Human Noble: The ball was a viper’s nest. [19]
General: I felt out place. [20]
General: It was very exciting. [21]
General: The ball was petty and dull. [22]

18 - Flirt: Our dance was the highlight. PC: My favorite moment of the evening is still our waltz in the garden. Josephine: (Happy sigh.) I could have danced with you for hours. We must do it again sometime. Scene ends.

19 - Human Noble: The ball was a viper’s nest. PC: Insular cliques, snide half-truths, everyone sizing everyone else up… It reminded me of home. Josephine: I completely understand the feeling, Inquisitor. Let’s hope the next ball either of our families holds is quieter than this one, shall we? Scene ends.

20 - General: I felt out place. PC: I kept dreading I’d drop the wrong spoon, or step on a general’s foot. Josephine: Well done. Feuds that spanned ages have sparked over less. PC: Really? Josephine: Inquisitor, never underestimate the enmity of those for whom outrage is a sport. Scene ends.

21 - General: It was very exciting. PC: Playing the Game was thrilling. We did just make history. Josephine (Celene killed): With Celene gone, I don’t know if it will be for the better or the worse. Although I do wish Varric would show a bit more restraint in his accounts of the evening. Josephine (Celene lived): Indeed. Tales of this affair have begun circulating in Val Royeaux. Although I do wish Varric would show a bit more restraint in his accounts of the evening. Scene ends.

22 - General: The ball was petty and dull. PC: At least all this tedious maneuvering got us something. Josephine (Celene killed): Tedious maneuvering caused the death of an empress, Inquisitor. I fear we won’t fully see the outcome of this action for years. Josephine (Celene lived): You have navigated it well. the Inquisition’s reputation is now far more formidable in Orlais. Although I do wish Varric would show a bit more restraint in his accounts of the evening. **Scene ends. **

What Pride Had Wrought

The Final Battle

Josephine: It comes swiftly, this moment that will be spoken of for ages. The day the Herald of Andraste challenged a darkspawn that thought itself a god. Defeat him, and you’ll be more than a holy [person] to the people. You’ll enter legend.

Dialogue options:

General (claimed chosen): I pray I deserve it. [1]
General (not claimed chosen): I didn’t do this alone. [2]
General (claimed chosen): It’s the Maker’s will. [3]
General (not claimed chosen): Of course I’ll defeat him.[4]
General: I hope history’s good to me. [5]

1 - General: I pray I deserve it. PC: If it’s true, may the Maker judge me worthy of the honor. Josephine: And there is the modesty people have come to respect. [6]

2 - General: I didn’t do this alone. PC: I couldn’t have come this far without the Inquisition at my back. Josephine: And there is the modesty people have come to respect. [6]

3 - General: It’s the Maker’s will. PC: I was marked for a purpose. The Maker wants everyone to know I’ve fulfilled it. Josephine: And there is the fire we follow. [6]

4 - General: Of course I’ll defeat him. PC: When I defeat him, Ambassador. Not if. Josephine: And there is the fire we follow. [6]

5 - General: I hope history’s good to me. PC: Now, that sounds more dangerous than anything we’ve done so far. Josephine: And there is the wit that reassures us. [6]

6 - Scene continues.

Josephine: People joined the Inquisition after hearing you were blessed, but they stay because of how you lead. I wanted to tell you that I share their sentiments, Inquisitor, and… well, I suppose I just did.

Dialogue options:

General: You’re a good friend. [7]
General: Don’t act like it’s over. [8]
General: I should think so. [9]

7 - General: You’re a good friend. PC: You’ve always been there for us, Josephine. And for me. Josephine: It means much to hear you say that.

8 - General: Don’t act like it’s over. PC: I hope you’re not going anywhere after I stop Corypheus. Josephine: Far from it! If you’ll have me. There’s so much more the Inquisition can do.

9 - General: I should think so. PC: I should hope my ambassador holds me in some esteem. Josephine: I meant every word.

10 - Scene continues.

Josephine: Farewell my [lord/lady]. When you face Corypheus… may you walk in the light.

If spoken to again Josephine: Everything’s in place. Corypheus now waits on you to approach the Temple of Sacred Ashes. A swift journey. And good luck.

Romanced

Josephine: We must plan for you to fight one last duel, my darling: this time for all of us. Once you find Corypheus, I suppose we must… wait.

Dialogue options:

General: You’ll be in my thoughts. [1]
General: Don’t worry about me. [2]
General: I only want to return to you. [3]

1 - General: You’ll be in my thoughts. PC: I’ll be thinking of you every step past Skyhold. Josephine: Flattering, but you have my permission to think of your battle. [4]

2 - General: Don’t worry about me. PC: Corypheus failed at the Temple, lost us at Haven, and couldn’t even kill me with an Archdemon. My record is phenomenal, if nothing else. Josephine: Let’s pray it remains so. [4]

3 - General: I only want to return to you. PC: I just want to see your face again once this is over. Josephine: I’d be happy to arrange that.

4 - Scene continues.

Josephine: Please be sure to… I hope that you’ll… Maker, I wish you didn’t have to go.

Dialogue options:

General: You’re everything to me. [5]
General: That makes two of us. [6]
General: You’ll see me again. [7]

5 - General: You’re everything to me. PC: You mean the world to me, Josephine Montiliyet. Josephine: Then please return to me safely.

6 - General: That makes two of us. PC: You know how much I’d rather stay here, if I could. Josephine: (Laughs.) This does not seem to make things easier.

7 - General: You’ll see me again. PC: I’ll come back from this fight alive, I swear it. Josephine: I’ll take you at your word.

8 - Scene continues.

Josephine: (Sighs.) I must attend some tasks before you draw out our enemy. Do go before I begin to cry.

If spoken to again Josephine: Everything’s in place. Corypheus now waits on you to approach the Temple of Sacred Ashes. Still… do be careful. Please.

Post-game

Choice dependent dialogue:

Leliana Divine [1]
Cassandra Divine [2]
Vivienne Divine [3]

1 - Leliana Divine Josephine: Leliana knows the Game. She’ll move the Chantry forward while quelling the fears of the faithful. And I only feel pity for those who might try to depose our former spymaster by force.

Dialogue options:

General: Does she need our help? [4]
General: Who’d make the attempt? [5]
General: I don’t. [6]

4 - General: Does she need our help? PC: Should the Inquisition offer Leliana its protection? Josephine: It’d be more imposition than useful. Or misinterpreted as a struggle for power. It’s best Leliana arrange things herself. [7] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 5 - General: Who’d make the attempt? PC: Is anyone stupid enough to send assassins after her? Josephine: Any initial opposition will be subtle, but I doubt it will last. [7] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 6 - General: I don’t. PC: Dealing with one dean Divine was difficult enough. Josephine: We shouldn’t overly worry ourselves, Inquisitor. [7]

7 - Scene continues.

Josephine: After so much warring, even the most seasoned players of the Game yearn for change. Sister Leliana will bring about interesting times. Scene ends.

2 - Cassandra Divine: Josephine: So Lady Pentaghast will take the Sunburst Throne. Cassandra will guide the Chantry back to what she considers its roots, curbing its worst excesses. She will be an unusually forthright Divine, however.

Dialogue options:

General: She’ll do what’s right. [8]
General: This’ll be fun to watch. [9]
General: We need action. [10]

8 - General: She’ll do what’s right. PC: Cassandra wants what’s best for the people and the Chantry. Josephine: There have been Divines far less suited to the position, and few can deny the conviction of her faith. [11] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 9 - General: This’ll be fun to watch. PC: I can’t wait to see how Cassandra takes to leadership. Josephine: I’ve no doubt she will lead, Inquisitor. [11] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 10 - General: We need action. PC: The Chantry needs a leader who can crack the whip like she can. Josephine: There have been Divines far less suited to the position, and few can deny the conviction of her faith. [11]

11 - Scene continues.

Josephine: I wish her well. She has no easy task ahead. Scene ends.

3 - Vivienne Divine: Josephine: Elevating the first enchanter to the throne of the Divine was a bold decision. If she can quell unrest, Lady Vivienne will hold more power than any mage in southern Thedas. May I pass on an observation?

Dialogue options:

General: Always. [12]
General: That is why you’re here. [13]
General: I can handle Vivienne. [14]

12 - General: Always. PC: Please do. [15] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 13 - General: That is why you’re here. PC: It’d be foolish not to listen to my ambassador. Josephine: May that serve you well. [15] ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 14 - General: I can handle Vivienne. PC: Our new Divine remembers the Inquisition it a force to be reckoned with. Josephine: Indeed she does. [15]

15 - Scene continues.

Josephine (high approval with Vivienne): I realize you and Madame Vivienne had become friendly, Inquisitor. But I wonder how she’ll reshape the Chantry. You may recall her views are somewhat… conservative, on these matters.

Josephine (low approval with Vivienne): Despite your clashes with Lady Vivienne, it is obvious that she respects you. Do not mistake that to mean she fears you.

Josephine (neutral approval with Vivienne): It would be judicious to remind her that she acquired the mantle of Most Holt through service to the Inquisition. Gratitude in Val Royeaux only extends so far.

Scene ends.
