Journal Entry

[lavellanfadewalk]

So, guys, a simple question: What in the Void happened to Meredith?!

First she's praying with Leliana, then she is almost killing the Hero of Ferelden and now she is missing in action. For a bunch of heroes, we're quite unable to keep track of things happening just right under our noses, aren't we?

Whoever is willing to, let's go find her.
I'll be able to get some sleep after the crazy templar is in the Dungeons.

Preferably, non-magical people.
I don't want her jumping over us right from the start.


Leliana: Is her sword somewhere safe? Please, tell me it is somewhere safe!


Dagna: I know it's tempting, but DON'T destroy her sword like we did to Samson's armor. Just don't. We still don't know the consequences of our little time here and not even how this can affect the Time.

Aye Inquisitoralness, leave it to me!

I'll find a way to keep us safe from the Red Lyrium blade, at least until we can go back to our realities.

[fereldans_king]

Where was she last seen? The woman is the most determined bitch commander I've ever had the unfortunate experience to meet. She makes Anora look tame in comparison. She may have decided to hole up and lick her wounds while she planned her next move?

[keelah_selai]

I am getting the impression that this Meredith woman is incredibly dangerous. Anyone want to fill the off-worlders in?

[heromiyuu]

Yes, you're right, she is VERY dangerous.

Meredith Stannard used to be Knight-Commander of the Templar Order, in Kirkwall. The Gallows were under her watch, but she held a large piece of the political power in the city. Her Templars hunted down apostate mages like no one else and stories about abuse of power were very common inside the local Circle. She pushed the 'better safe than sorry' to another level by using said power to bound and leash all mages under her watch or to just silence the ones who didn't agree with her methods. She is very pious and truly believes she is the one thing standing between this world and a full invasion from evil mages and their demon pets. Red Lyrium drove her utterly insane and granted her a ridiculously dangerous power and in the end, even the Templar Order in the Gallows stood against her, under Cullen's command.

Couple hours ago she was fighting against a purple woman, biotic as you guys say. She won the fight against Meredith and saved my life, I believe. Things are stil a little numb. But Meredith's body was nowhere to be seen, but I don't think she is dead. We must locate her immediately and keep her away from her sword.

[nightingale_fadewalk]

"Purple woman" you say?

Perhaps our off-world friends can help us contact her.

[keelah_selai]

....It is times like this that I wished the Normandy was up and running. With a little work, I could probably hack some our equipment to make biotic-damping shackles. They wouldn't have the same effect on this Meredith (unless she suddenly develops biotic powers keelah, what a horrible thought) but they'd also dampen emotional reactions. They might have helped to keep her calm.

[nightingale_fadewalk]

And how about locating the last person seen with Meredith?

[keelah_selai]

Who was she last seen with besides Neria? And I hope Neria at least knows where she is!

[lavellanfadewalk]

I saw a purple woman just earlier, in the Great Hall.
Not the most friendly person, I must say.

Don't know where she went though.
And definitely, no Meredith with her.

[heromiyuu]

Inquisitor, this is dire!
Creators save us from the consequences of Meredith being dead!

If she is not there to fight against the mages in Kirkwall, who knows what will happen to our reality! No templar x mage war, no apostates or rogue templars raiding Ferelden, no need for the Conclave! You would NEVER be the Herald of Andraste, there would never be the need for a Inquisitor.

[lavellanfadewalk]

...

Ok, now try it again, but make her death sound actually bad.

[heromiyuu]

Inquisitor!

[lavellanfadewalk]

Fine, fine!

Time paradox, I get it!
We don't know how this could affect little things, a stone causing the water to ripple, etcetera.

If there is no Conclave for Corypheus to strike, then there is no Breach, no death of Divine Justinia. Of course there is still the problem with the Grey Wardens, but without the Breach maybe this could give them more time to snap out of their 'following-a-magister-seems-a-good-ideia', since Corypheus would need more time to plan and to act on it.

Think about it.

[keelah_selai]

Wait, purple? Oh bosh, you met Aria. Please tell me no one is smeared across the ceiling or the walls? Please tell me she hasn't stolen that awful throne for her own...

[heromiyuu]

Well, she did try to crack Meredith's armor open with her power and I believe she did manage that, in some degree. The ceiling actually fell over us but no, no people painting the walls with their innards.

[keelah_selai]

Well, that's a relief. Umm...Aria is not as crazy bad as this Meredith but she's not...very nice. Just a heads up for anyone that comes across her.

[heromiyuu]

She seemed very... stern?

Well, I'll keep it in mind.

[lavellanfadewalk]

...

You dare to speak ill of my throne?

Really?!

[keelah_selai]

Of course not, ma'am. At least Joker's cockpit had leather seats. That just looks uncomfortable.

[lavellanfadewalk]

The Inquisition's throne is not about comfort, is about power and how I want people to see me as Inquisitor.

I only use that shit to judge people.

[legacyofhousepavus]

Never mess with time, or things that should have happened, even if they're bad. Of course, from the sounds of things, you aren't the one I should be saying this to.

You're a mage, yes? Next chance you get, meet me in the library. I could use a study session of putting some minds together to figure something out. I've been very busy, and I think I may have a teeny tiny hint of where to start.

[heromiyuu]

Better meet in the Mage Tower.

The Library is a little... charred.

[legacyofhousepavus]

Why would anyone--

Mage Tower it is.

[heromiyuu]

Don't. Ask.

[nightingale_fadewalk]

The sword is safe, rest assured.

Once we find Meredith I'll take it to Dagna.
