The Threat Remains

Guards


Guard 1: Stand weary, guardsmen! The inquisition is here… along with the “Herald of Andraste.”

Dalish PCDwarf PCHuman PCQunari PC
Guard 3: They say they found the knife-ear covered with the Divine’s blood.Guard 3: I hear that dwarf was found covered in the Divine’s blood.Non-mage:
Guard 3: They say they found the Free Marcher covered in the Divine’s blood.

Mage:
Guard 3: That’s the mage they said killed the Divine?
Guard 3: They say that horned thing murdered the Divine.

Guard 1: Let [them] pass. The Inquisition is the templars’ problem. And they’ll fix it.


Guard 1: We know about your Inquisition. Val Royeaux has no time for heresy. The templars will be our voice.


Guard 1: The templars didn’t even touch you?


Dalish PCDwarf PCQunari PC
Guard 1: I’ve never seen the Dalish stand for the Chantry except to fire a bow at it. My eyes are on you.Guard 1: I’ve seen your kind use the Chantry, but you never believe in it. And I don’t believe in you, dwarf.Guard 1: I fought your kind years ago, Qunari. You don’t belong here.

  • Guard 1: The Lord Seeker may not think you’re a threat, but he’s not here right now.
  • Guard 1: They say you’re scratching for power. Not on these streets, understood?
  • Guard 1: This is bullshit.
  • Guard 1: You trouble anyone, we’ll see how mortal you get.

  • Guard 2: You just… stay away from me. I don’t know what you are.
  • Guard 2: Go back to your own, elf. This city doesn’t need your “Inquisition.”
  • Guard 2: Leave me alone, and I’ll do the same, dwarf. My city doesn’t need this joke played on it.
  • Guard 2: Templars let you walk. Templars! What in the blazes?
  • Guard 2: Just don’t give me a reason, heretics.
  • Guard 2: They say a lot about you. Can’t believe any of that.

Guard 2: The city is closed to you: except for the Chanty and our templars—they’ll certainly take you.


Citizens


Citizen 1: The templars will help us, as they always have. We’ve no need for an Inquisition.


Citizen 1: They left us. The templars left us to the mages! Chantry liars!


Citizen 2: May as well keep walking. I don’t deal with heretics.


  • Citizen 2: Our templars left? The Chantry promised they’d defend us!
  • Citizen 2: Ever since our Divine was murdered… toothless old fools are lost without her. What are the grand clerics doing while the mage circles lie empty?

Nobles


Noble 1: The Inquisition? We don’t require that sort of thing in Val Royeaux.


  • Noble 1: There’s a war on, and the templars… just left?
  • Noble 1: This cannot stand. How can it stand?
  • Noble 1: What is the Grand Cathedral thinking? We must have a new Divine. She will show us the way.

Noble 2: It seems that powers align against this “Inquisition.” A pity, as you are the only ones who appear to care about the hole in the sky. But the Chantry is insistent.


  • Noble 2: Well, that was a change of affairs. You might find friends among the stunned and reeling.
  • Noble 2: The Chantry has just shown themselves helpless. Who will fetch their templars back, I wonder?
  • Noble 2: It seems change is on the wind. I wish your leaders well.
