I Need a Lock Picked

Haven only

PC: I was wondering if you could look at some locks for me.

Sera: What, the doors under the Chantry?

PC: You know about them?

Sera: Places have doors. I just wasn’t interested in poking through some sister’s breeches. Whatever floats you. Consider them open, yeah?

Why Did you Really Join Me?

Skyhold only

PC: So, you like to have fun. The Inquisition seems an odd fit. Why are you really here?

Female PC if flirted before Sera (Qunari PC): I like ‘em tall, apparently. And to help people. Sera (dwarf PC): You’re too ducky to refuse? And I can help people. Sera (Dalish PC): Maybe you’ll be fun, yeah? And to help people. Sera (human PC): Sera: I’m here for you. And to help people.

Sera: What do you mean? To help people.

Dialogue options:

General: Seems like there’s more to it. [1] +Sera slightly approves
General: Are you really sure of that? [2]
General: I don’t believe you. [3] -Sera slightly disapproves

1 - General: Seems like there’s more to it. PC: It’s starting to sound like you’re looking for something more. Sera: It is. Mostly. Okay, fine, there’s talk, and… I want to see. PC: See what? Sera: I don’t know! I just… I’ve got all this Chantry stuff in my head, and it makes sense, right? [4]

2 - General: Are you really sure of that? PC: : We both know that’d be easier to believe if you were a totally different person. Sera: Not everything is easy to believe! And maybe that’s it. There’s all this Andraste stuff going on and seeing it should help, right? [4]

3 - General: I don’t believe you. PC: You’re mostly a criminal. Helping is only a side effect. Sera: So? Some people don’t even help by accident. I’ve got questions, right? And all this stuff is going on with the Chantry. Andraste. [4]

4 - Scene continues.

Sera: But it’s… fuzzy. I want to see if it’s all really real. I just don’t know if I want to really know. So, I’m selfish. It’s all for me. Count yourself lucky, I guess.

Tell Me About Your Background

PC: Tell me about yourself.

Sera (female PC if flirted before): Oh yeah? Interested, are you? Sera: What about me?

1 - Dialogue options:

General: Where are you from? [2]
General: Who trained you? [3]
General (Dalish PC): It’s nice knowing other elves. [4]
General (non-Dalish PC): You’re different for an elf. [5] -Sera slightly disapproves
General: Goodbye. [6]

2 - General: Where are you from? PC: How about the basics. Where are you from? Sera: Ferelden? PC: I got that from the accent. Where in Ferelden? Sera: All over? Okay fine. Denerim for a bit. South. North. Wherever I want.

Dialogue options:

General: No ties worth mentioning? [7]
General: I can make evasive jokes, too. [8]
General: Don’t keep secrets. [9] -Sera slightly disapproves

7 - General: No ties worth mentioning? PC: There are no connections you want to mention at all? Sera: Nope. [10] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 8 - General: I can make evasive jokes, too. PC: Oh, you’re from Wherever? I’m from North Wherever! Sera: What? PC: North Wherever. Oh, we had fun on Street and/or in Local Tavern. Sera: Oh, har-dee-har. All funny, you. [10] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 9 - General: Don’t keep secrets. PC: I expect more direct answers than that. Sera: Which of this lot gave you straight answers? Not as many as you bloody well think, I guarantee. Look, I’m not from anywhere. No home, no castle, a few friends. [10] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 10 - Scene continues. ㅤㅤ ㅤ Sera: It’s complicated. I don’t like complicated. Let’s leave it at that. Maybe. [back to 1]

3 - General: Who trained you? PC: You’re skilled. Who taught you how to use a bow? Sera: No one. PC: That seems unlikely. Sera: What? I picked it up here and there. Mostly it just makes sense. It’s not like that for you?

Dialogue options:

General: Not typically. [11]
General: Only when I’m boasting. [12]
General: Are you serious? [13]

11 - General: Not typically. PC: Usually it takes considerable discipline. Hence my question. Sera: Hence? Look, I work at it. Practice. A little. [14] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 12 - General: Only when I’m boasting. PC: Oh, certainly, not a day’s effort for the naturally gifted like us. Sera: Well, it’s not like that. It takes work. A bit. [14] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 13 - General: Are you serious? PC: Seems like there’s more to it. Sera: Well, yeah. I practice. Some. [14] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 14 - Scene continues. ㅤㅤ ㅤ Sera: Not like Cullen and his pets. I mean, you miss, then you don’t. Is it that hard to see when it’s wrong? ㅤㅤ ㅤ PC (Dalish PC): Well, it’s not like that for other elves, I know that. PC (non-Dalish PC): Is it an elf thing? ㅤㅤ ㅤ Sera: (Laughs.) Most I know couldn’t find an arrow sitting on it. Right, maybe I just make it look easy in shite company. Fact still is, no teacher. Where would I find one in alleyways anyway? Pfft. [back to 1]

4 - General: It’s nice knowing other elves. PC: I’m just interested in talking to an elf like me. Sera: Mmm, don’t think so. PC: Why not? Sera: Well, maybe you’re all right. But most elves are too… elfy. Like that Solas, right? “Never be as good as we were.” Well, who’s we? I’m just fine. [15]

5 - General: You’re different for an elf. PC: You’re not like most of the elves I’ve met. Sera: Thanks, right? Or was that an insult? Suppose I could go barefoot and whine more. Like that Solas, right? “Never be as good as we were.” Well, who’s we? I’m just fine. [15]

15 - Dialogue options:

General: There’s no value in tradition? [16]
General: You’re saying “get over it”? [17]
General: Just throw it all away? [18]

16 - General: There’s no value in tradition? PC: There’s a lot of tradition there. Should it just be thrown away? Sera: Your great-grandfather’s dead, why aren’t you dead? You’re throwing away tradition. PC: That makes sense to you? Sera: None of it does in the city. That’s why I’m not “like an elf.” [back to 1] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 17 - General: You’re saying “get over it”? PC: I think there’s more to it than that. A few thousand years more. Sera: Hey, someone wants to be angry about old debts, be angry. Be a terror that never lets an enemy forget. But if you’re digging it up so you can wear it, that’s just weird. ㅤㅤ ㅤ Sera (Dalish PC): I mean, you Dalish don’t really know. You have stories, but that’s all they are. It’s all fancy dress, not history. [back to 1] Sera (non-Dalish PC): I mean, the Dalish don’t really know. They have stories, but that’s all they are. [back to 1] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 18 - General: Just throw it all away? PC: There’s nothing to learn from any of that history? Sera: Yes. “Don’t do that.” What? “We” lost so bad, there was nothing left. You figure out what they wore on their deathbed, you wear it. Waste of time. [back to 1]

6 - General: Goodbye. PC: We’ll talk later. Sera: If you say so.

Tell Me About Your Friends

Available before The Verchiel March

PC: You apparently have a lot of “friends.” Tell me about your network.

If asked before Sera: Again? It hasn’t changed.

Sera: It’s not mine, right? I mean, it is, but it’s also everyone. Everyone who wants to shove it to nobles who hide behind gold and silk. And hats, I guess.

1 - Dialogue options:

Investigate: Was there ever a “Red Jenny”? [2]
Investigate: What does your group do? [3]
Investigate: I expected people from you. [4]
General: That’s all. [5]

2 - Investigate: Was there ever a “Red Jenny”? PC: Is Red Jenny real or was she always just you and your “friends”? Sera: Dunno. PC: Don’t you care? Sera: Not if it works. I mean, “red” is scary because… blood. And Jenny is… look, nobody fears the “bunch of people who do random stuff.” And besides, it’s easy. Nobles want a bogeyman, because they need to believe normal people can’t get at them.

Sera (female PC if flirted before): Numbers, yeah? An even spread is all it takes. Sera: Numbers, right? It don’t have to be so complicated.

Dialogue options:

General: Do you share the blame, too? [6]
General: That seems too casual. [7]
General: Someone must be in charge. [8]

6 - General: Do you share the blame, too? PC: Doesn’t this mean people think you’re guilty of more than you actually do? Sera: I suppose. Does it matter? PC: Shouldn’t it? Sera: “Important” people kill over imagined insults. I’ve made more than enough real ones, so no, I don’t suppose it does. [back to 1] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 7 - General: That seems too casual. PC: It seems like it should be more complicated than that. Sera: That’s why you’d be bad at it, and why I’m here. You don’t want to play, don’t play. That’s simple too. [back to 1] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 8 - General: Someone must be in charge. PC: So, do you take turns leading or something like that? Sera: There’s nothing to lead. Put a few favors in, take a few out. Stop, and you cut yourself out. Other than that, we stay out of each other’s way. Probably best. Some are right arses. [back to 1]

3 - Investigate: What does your group do? PC: Are you just about pranks and revenge, or is there more to it? Sera: Well, it’s a weave, right? I grease a ballroom, so a wyvern-chasing git has to hunt sprained. Strangely, handmaids leave his vault open. His heirlooms pay off someone else. Maybe clean streets in Kirkwall, so someone else gets something else. Pish, pish, pish. A lot of people eventually get help or a laugh. Or maybe someone dead, if they deserve it.

Dialogue options:

General: You pretend that’s moral? [9] -Sera slightly disapproves
General: Good to know. [10]
General: So you’re also killers. [11]

9 - General: You pretend that’s moral? PC: So who decides who deserves it? You? By what authority? Sera: Look, “dukey” cuts a stableboy’s finger off for snagging a biscuit, he’s eating an arrow for tea. Deserves it. Most times, it’s just fun. And embarrassed’s the same as dead for some. Anyway, assassin’s a bard’s job, innit? [12] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 10 - General: Good to know. PC: I’m glad I met you before someone decided what I deserved. Sera: You’re no hateful arse. So far. I’d just get you with a pie or something. Anyway, assassin’s a bard’s job, innit? [12] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 11 - General: So you’re also killers. PC: So you’re vandals, thieves, and murderers? Sera: If the mark’s a right arse, yeah. But maybe pantsing and clearing his vault do the trick. Embarrassed’s the same as dead for some of them. Besides, assassin’s a bard’s job. [12] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 12 - Scene continues. ㅤㅤ ㅤ Sera: No fun, that lot. They might plonk a noble, right, but only to raise another. Plus, I’m shite at singing. [back to 1]

4 - Investigate: I expected people from you. PC: Where are all the people you promised? Sera: If I knew, they wouldn’t be much use. That’s sort of the point. Look, unless your baddies are rocks or trees, they have people they use. Cooks, squires… wipers. Yeah, I know. Wipers, right? You better believe the ones with wipers deserve it right in the… Well, anyway, the little people will be there when you need them, in a million little ways.

Dialogue options:

General: Do they even know what you do? [13]
General: So it’s strength in numbers. [14]
General: How do you get anything done? [15]

13 - General: Do they even know what you do? PC: Seems like there’s no way the people who contribute could even know what they’re helping with. Sera: Don’t need to. Maybe some ask for a target, a note like. But maybe they plant something just to help mess with things. “I did something, and something happened.” That’s a wish for some people. Probably not Heralds. Anyway, sometimes I don’t even do anything, and people think I did, because something happened anyway. That’s good, too. Free payday. And free blame, right? But whatever. [16]

14 - General: So it’s strength in numbers. PC: So lots of little contributions add up in the background, like snowflakes that snap a branch. Sera: What? Uh, sure. Like snow. I guess. Anyway, it just works. Most of the time. Friend of a friend and little hints. Mind you, you still have to be smart. Don’t bet your life unless you’re into that.

Sera (female PC if flirted before): Risky, yeah, but you like a bit of a tease. [16] Sera: To be clear, I’m not into that. [16]

15 - General: How do you get anything done? PC: This doesn’t seem like it would produce much in the way of results. Sera: It’s working for you. What, is every follower of yours a giant, who does all things and knows your every move? Not your team of doers. I mean the people gathering. Is that normal because it’s religious? Seems like that should make it weirder. [16]

16 - Dialogue options:

General: Well, as long as it works. [17] +Sera slightly approves
General: I still don’t get it. [18] -Sera slightly disapproves
General: Sounds like a con. [19] -Sera slightly disapproves

17 - General: Well, as long as it works. PC: I can play along if it works for you. Sera: You have a choice? Hail the Inquisition. (Laughs.) [back to 1] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 18 - General: I still don’t get it. PC: Nope, still not making sense. Sera: Doesn’t have to. Take it or don’t. Imagine you’re looting random crates if you like. You seem to find that satisfying enough. [back to 1] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 19 - General: Sounds like a con. PC: I think the whole thing sounds like a scam. Sera: So, feel free to complain every time I point you to a hand up, because you’ll still take it, right? Right, you will. [back to 1]

5 - General: That’s all. PC: We’ll talk another time. Sera: It’s all good, innit?

You Don’t Fit the Inquisition

PC: Sera, I don’t think you’re fitting in the way we need.

Sera: Not fitting? Are you daft? You’re fighting holes in the sky, and you’re getting rid of people? No, not people. Just me. I get it.

Dialogue options:

You’re right. You should stay. (Sera stays with the Inquisition.) [1]
You should leave. (Sera leaves the Inquisition forever.) [2]

1 - You’re right. You should stay. PC: When you put it that way, it’d be a mistake to make you go. Sera: Bloody well right it would be. End of the world, maybe don’t shoot for “just enough.” Don’t need me? Whatever. I bring everyone. Scene ends.

2 - You should leave. PC: No easy way to say it. You should just leave. Sera: That so? Well it’s easy to say you should lump it. You can’t kick me out, I quit! In fact, I was never here. A Jenny in the Inquisition? She’s with the people. Always was. Piss up a rope. Sera leaves the Inquisition.

Solas Romance

Sera: So, what’s going on with your face? You go off with Solas, and now your elfy dealies are gone.

Dialogue options:

General: I don’t want to talk about it. [1] -Sera slightly disapproves
General: Solas explained what they are. [2]

1 - General: I don’t want to talk about it. PC: I don’t want to get into it. It’s personal. Sera: Personal. You change your face, and it’s personal? PC: Yes. Drop it. Sera: All right. Your face—that everyone can see—is off-limits. Understood. Scene ends.

2 - General: Solas explained what they are. PC: They weren’t what I thought. Originally, they were slave markings. Solas told me how they were misinterpreted. The meaning changed.

Sera: (Snickers.)

PC: What are you laughing about?

Sera: The Dalish. They don’t know anything. (Blows raspberries.) I mean, you know now. But they put on all this “real elf” stuff, and I knew it—it’s all just fancy dress. Nobody knows anything about “real elves” except they’re gone.

Dialogue options:

General: We should look to the future. [3]
General: I agree. It’s pretty stupid. [4] +Sera approves
General: You made your point. [5]

3 - General: We should look to the future. PC: A mistake doesn’t mean it’s worthless. We can remember, but also choose to grow. Sera: There’s that “we” stuff again. “We” means “us against them.” But I like “them.” [6]

4 - General: I agree. It’s pretty stupid. PC: Well… no, you know what? It actually is pretty stupid. We need to do better. Sera: Well, good for you, yeah? Learning and stuff. That’s why you’re in charge. [6]

5 - General: You made your point. PC: Yes, yes, history is dumb, and everyone is dumb. Now leave it be. Sera: Fine, fine. I’m done. [6]

6 - Scene continues.

Sera: (Chuckling.) All those faces. That’s just funny.

Specialization: Champion

Sera: You’re a Champion now or something? Great. Special. Don’t be a shit about it. I’m watching you.

Investigate: Worried I’m a champion now?

PC: Is there some concern you have about me becoming a champion?

Sera: No, there’s no “concern I have about you becoming champion.” I’m worried you’ll be an arse. You know what they’re like? Well, not champions maybe, but their rubbing cousins, the chav-liers? They’re shit. Some people get full of themselves when they think they’re better, right? That bunch get it on a flag.

PC: It’s a standard.

Sera (romanced): Not helping. I know you’re better than that. Because you’re better for me. Sera (not romanced): That’s not better!

1 - Dialogue options:

Investigate: What do chevaliers do? [2]
Flirt: I would never disappoint you. [3]
General: I’ll live up to my own title. [4] +Sera slightly approves
General: Different title. Stop worrying. [5]
General: It isn’t up to you. [6] -Sera slightly disapproves

2 - Investigate: What do chevaliers do? PC: Why are you worried? What do they do? Sera: People to them, little people, aren’t anything. Not even slaves, because slaves are worth something, yeah? They want your food, they take your food. They want your wife, they take your wife. They’re shit. So please stay better. [back to 1]

3 - Flirt: I would never disappoint you. Sera, I couldn’t be like that. Not and disappoint you. Sera: Oof. Give me the shivers, you know? Yeah, you know. All right. It’s all fine again. Scene ends.

4 - General: I’ll live up to my own title. PC: I’m not like that. I’ll be a Champion of the people. Sera: That… sounds really stupid. But all right, I buy it. For now. Scene ends.

5 - General: Different title. Stop worrying. PC: I’m not whatever it is you tried to pronounce. It’s fine. Sera: Sure. Right. Fine. Everything is fine. Let’s keep it that way. Scene ends.

6 - General: It isn’t up to you. PC; It’s a title, and it’ll help. You don’t get a say. Sera: Right, sure. Good start. Watching you. Scene ends.

If asked again Sera: Covered it, right? Don’t be a shit like a chav-alierer. You’re better than that.

Specialization: Mage

Sera: Getting serious about mage stuff. Magic. Things. How about… how about not so much? Just asking. For… not so much magic? Great, yeah?

Investigate: Concerns about my magic use?

PC: Do you have any worries about how my magic is developing?

Sera: Really? You have to ask what’s so bad about the magic stuff?

Choice dependent dialogue:

Knight-enchanter [1]
Necromancer [2]
Rift mage [3]

1 - Knight-enchanter Sera: I mean, that weirdy talking about knight-whatevers? PC: Knight-enchanter. Battle magic. [4]

2 - Necromancer Sera: Necro-whatever. “Necro” doesn’t mean “Sera happy.” PC: Necromancer. The manipulation of spirits. [4]

3 - Rift mage Sera: Rift-whatever. You know, like are tearing up the world? PC: Rift-mage. So I can understand Fade forces. [4]

4 - Scene continues.

Sera: Not helping! I don’t understand that stuff. It’s scary to anyone smart enough to think for a second.

Sera: I don’t want you to be scary. Sera: You shouldn’t be scary. You’re the Inquisitor.

5 - Dialogue options:

Investigate: Why are you frightened? [6]
Flirt: I would never disappoint you. [7]
General: It’s a burden I must bear. [8] -Sera slightly disapproves
General: Not even a little? For fun? [9] +Sera slightly approves
General: Our enemies should be scared. [10] -Sera slightly disapproves

6 - Investigate: Why are you frightened? PC: What has you so scared? Sera: You really don’t know? Most people are scared. I mean, there’s lots of mages here, but most never see one. Never. You’re weird. And I know you, so you’re not scary. But lots of people don’t know you. I don’t want you to be just a scary mage. [back to 5]

7 - Flirt: I would never disappoint you. PC: Sera, I couldn’t be like that. Not and disappoint you. Sera: Oof. Give me the shivers, you know? Yeah, you know. All right. It’s all fine again. [11]

8 - General: It’s a burden I must bear. PC: This is what I am. I have to embrace it. Too much depends on me. Sera: Right, now you’ve gone and made me feel bad for being frightened. Fine. Whatever. [11]

9 - General: Not even a little? For fun? PC: Don’t be silly. I’m not that scaaary. Sera: Oh, ha ha, real funny. Fine. I’m fine with it. Be scary and a shit. [11]

10 - General: Our enemies should be scared. PC: I want to scare some people. Our enemies. Sera: It’s not an arrow. You don’t get to point it. Be careful. All right? [11]

11 - Scene continues.

Necromancer PC Sera: Just so we’re clear though? That corpse stuff is frigging weird. (Shudder.)
