[Well, now James's concern is rocketed through the roof.]
Merrill, did it seem like the mage was being ... controlled? Did he seem dull-witted, slow to answer you?
[Maker's breath, he should have gone with them. He'd studied the effects of blood magic for years. His next words were terse.]
The rest of the Inquisition can handle their recovery. Should I be gathering up all the Templars I've found, telling Seeker Pentaghast and heading up there after you?
I- yes. Like he was speaking through a fog, trying to think through it, too.
It's a long journey, and I'm certain many of those Templars need to rest -- I don't know if you'll make it in time, because I'm certain they'll do something if they find out more Templars are coming, and we can't really just- invade the Grey Wardens. But- you should tell the advisors what I've told you, yes. If something goes wrong, or if you don't hear from me...
All right. Then he'll know what you're talking about when I tell you, if you get into a tight corner with the Wardens and you need to find a way to get to the heart of your particular problem ... tell him Norrington said, Frilly Pink Bonnet.
