Find Lucanis
Rook arrives in Treviso. The city is burning.
Antivan Crow: Listen! The dragon. The Antaam brought it here somehow.
Worried Crow: They’re fighting Crows and saying the dragon will break our “meaningless resistance.”
Antivan Crow: Bastards!
They take a zipline, and the dragon flies past.
(Dragon roars)
| Crow Rook | Non-Crow Rook |
|---|---|
| Rook: Oh, no, no, no! What’s it done to my city? | Rook: It’s worse than I thought. How do we fight this? |
- Bellara: We should look for Lucanis.
- Davrin: Let’s find your Crow friend, then make a plan.
- Harding: We have to find Lucanis. If we can.
(Dragon roars in the distance)
Rook passes another Crow.
Worried Crow: Please. Someone has to stop it.
They enter a nearby building, where they are attacked by antaam.
Antaam: You think Crows can win against a dragon? It fights for us! It flies for the Antaam! That beast in the sky will tame this city for the Antaam. All you will be is dust!
They defeat the antaam and exit the building into a courtyard. The dragon flies by again in a burst of flame.
- Bellara: That dragon isn’t slowing down! We need to kill it!
- Davrin: We have to kill that dragon. Treviso can’t take much more!
- Harding: The city can’t take any more!
Teia: Rook! Over here!
| Crow Rook | Non-Crow Rook |
|---|---|
| Rook: Teia! She’s all right. | Rook: It’s Teia, from the Crows. |
Rook runs up to where Teia and Lucanis are standing.
| Crow Rook | Non-Crow Rook |
|---|---|
| Lucanis: Rook. Good. We could use another Crow.Teia: Even though killing dragons is not exactly our specialty.Rook: Time to learn. | Lucanis: Rook! You’re just in time. |
Lucanis: Where the dragon attacks, the Antaam soon follow.
Teia: It is strong, and fast. You must get its attention, then lure it onto the ground.
Rook: We’ll figure out a way.
Teia: Draw up your courage. We will need it.
Rook continues on, to find Ghilan’nain standing among the rooftops.
Ghilan’nain: Despair. Ignorance. Mortal confusion. Yet this city offers nothing better than a pawn of the Dread Wolf.
Rook: Ghilan’nain!
Ghilan’nain: Your patron could not stand against us ages past. He will not help you now. Give us the Dread Wolf’s dagger.
Rook: Come get it.
Ghilan’nain: Retrieve the knife. And whatever else remains of these mortals.
The dragon flies in from behind her and swoops down to fight. Eventually, the dragon is injured and flies off.
Ghilan’nain: That is enough. We have urgent need of your strength elsewhere. Come. Return to me.
Rook: It’s going!
- Bellara: We did it! Sort of!
- Davrin: That was a close one.
- Harding: Thank goodness.
They find Teia again.
Teia: You fought it off!
Lucanis: If Ghilan’nain hadn’t called it away…

- Sarcastic: Makes me nervous. [2]
- Stoic: This isn’t the end. [3]
1 - Affable: Matters more Treviso’s safe.
Rook: It’s more important that it stopped attacking the city.
Teia: Everyone with a home that still stands will agree.
2 - Sarcastic: Makes me nervous.
Rook: She’s probably going to fix it up even better than it was before.
Lucanis: Let her plan. It won’t escape next time.
3 - Stoic: This isn’t the end.
Rook: It’ll be back.
Lucanis: Next time, it dies.
4 - Scene continues.
Rook: That thing was tough. It’ll be hard to put down for good.
Lucanis: What happened to Treviso would’ve been worse if you hadn’t arrived when you did. I cannot imagine how much worse.
- Bellara: What about Minrathous? And Neve? Maybe there’s still time to help.
- Davrin: Still have to help with that dragon in Minrathous.
- Harding: And now we have to go to Minrathous. There might still be time to help with their dragon.
Rook: Let’s go.
A City Devastated
Rook finally arrives in Minrathous. Neve and Tarquin stand over the Viper, who is laying injured beside them.
Rook: We’re here. What’s the situation?

Neve: Where were you?

Neve: This is your city! I thought—(Steadying breath) Forget it.

- Affable: I was going to come here. [1]
- Stoic: I thought you could handle it.[2]
- Sad: It was a hard decision. [3]

Rook: Yes, I’m a Shadow Dragon. And I thought the Shadow Dragons could handle this. Neve: The Venatori? Elgar’nan and his blighted creature? All at once? Scene continues. [4]3 - Sad: It was a hard decision.
Rook: I’m sorry, but I had to choose. Neve: And you did. Scene continues. [4]4 - Scene continues.
Return to previous tree.Neve: The Venatori took large parts of the city while we were fighting their dragon.
Neve: We lost people. And Ashur…
The Viper: I’m fine.
Tarquin: You are not fine. He took a claw to the gut. A claw from a blighted dragon. Think about that.
Rook: The blight’s in his blood. But that means…
Neve: A slow death.
Tarquin: You’ve brought nothing but trouble since you came back.
The Viper: It’s not Rook’s fault. I chose to engage it.
Tarquin: Because it was going for a safe house! Because half of us were already dead!
The Viper: I’m fine.
Tarquin: You are not fine. No one is fine.
Neve: Look, I’m sorry. I don’t think there’s anything you can do right now. I’m going to be here a while. You should… just go.
Neve: Look around. I don’t know where to start. Treviso’s all right? Lucanis?

- Affable: It could have been worse. [1]

Rook: They’ll pull through. I asked about Minrathous. Scene continues. [4]3 - Stoic: Dragon got away.
Rook: Dragon got away before we could kill it. I won’t make that mistake again. Neve: But you hurt the one in Treviso? At least that’s something. Scene continues. [4]4 - Scene continues.
Return to previous tree.Neve: The Venatori had a clear shot at the palace while we faced a dragon we could barely hurt. The Viper drew it away from a safe house and took a claw to the gut as thanks. A healer could fix the wound, but the blight’s already in him.
Grey Warden Rook:
Tarquin: Rook’s a Grey Warden, [aren’t they]? Do something. Or are you only good for bringing bad news?
The Viper: I’m not going to the Wardens. I need to be here. In Minrathous.
Tarquin: You are going to die.
The Viper: Ever the pessimist.

Rook: You’ll die without our help, and even if we intervene, there’s no guarantee you’ll live.
7 - Sad: I’m sorry.
Rook: I’m so sorry. Tarquin: I don’t care how sorry you are. Do something.
8 - Scene continues
Return to previous tree.The Viper: I said no.
The Viper: I know of magic that may slow the corruption. That’ll give me some time.
Tarquin: This is all you. The risen gods. The blight. The dragon. Now the city’s lost to the Venatori—
The Viper:Rook isn’t to blame. It is what it is.
Tarquin: (Frustrated groan)
Neve: Tension’s a little high. You should go for now. I need to be here a while. See to things.
