I thought Wynne's crisis was destroying the ashes, same as Leliana. Since you can side with the templars and even get her as a party member as long as you don't decide until you talk to Greagoir at the end.

Agree with Cullen when he begs you to kill them all and, even if you totally were lying and save them, Wynne will attack you before you can up to the Harrowing Chamber.LupusYondergirl wrote...

Hm...maybe when Anders shows up, he offers to stay behind to 'protect' Petra and Wynne gets all prudish and disapproving and stays behind instead?

Knight-Commander Greagoir broke off his explanation about the situation with the mages when his ees fell upon of the members of the Warden’s group. “Anders?”
Anders blinked. “ ’Oo eez zhis ‘Anderz’ zhat ’oo speak of?”
Greagoir rolled his eyes. “That is, by far, the fakest accent I’ve ever heard and I regularly have to hear Carroll’s attempts to sound Antivan.”
Anders, who had had to deal with Carroll when he first got the idea to develop an accent way back when the templar had been guarding him in solitary confinement, thought that that was rather unfair. He may not have the most convincing accent but he wasn’t at Carroll’s level. He cocked an eyebrow at Greagoir skeptically.
“And that’s the fakest-looking mustache I have ever seen,” Greagoir continued. “It’s not even the right color and one side is falling off.”
Automatically, Anders hands flew up to check the status of his mustache. What did you know, it really had been falling off. Of course, since he had checked to see if it was then Greagoir would have been tipped off regardless. Reluctantly, he removed the fraudulent facial hair.
“You were reported dead at Ostagar,” Greagoir said accusingly.
“Was I?” Anders asked innocently. “I certainly did nothing of the sort.”
“”There was a hysterical elven woman who waxed poetic about your tragic final moments for over three hours,” Greagoir said reprovingly. Ah, good old Namaya. She never let him down.
“How strange,” Anders remarked offhandedly. “Was she absolutely certain that it was me?”
“She seemed pretty sure,” Greagoir confirmed dryly. “No doubt it was an honest mistake.”
“I wouldn’t know since I never faked my death in front of any elven girls…well, not within the last year or so at least,” Anders amended. “But I’m sure that’s exactly what happened.”
“Right,” Greagoir deadpanned. “But regardless of what happened before, the fact remains that you are a mage whose reason for being away from the Circle is no longer valid and who has returned to us so-”
“You’re not going to suggest that he stay here, are you?” Angélique Amell asked, scandalized.
“I wasn’t about to suggest it, no,” Greagoir agreed. “I was about to demand it. We can’t have mages just wandering around free, after all, and the law is fully on my side here.”
“But…the Tower is under attack. Something tells me that throwing Anders in with the other mages would be kind of a bad idea,” Angélique told him seriously.
Greagoir gave a long-suffering sigh. “That is why we won’t be putting him with the compromised mages. We can surely keep an eye on one mage while we’re waiting for the Rite of Annulment to show up.”
“But what will happen after everyone gets all annulled?” Angélique pressed.
“Oh, that would make me the most trusted mage in Ferelden, wouldn’t it?” Anders asked brightly. “Would that make me First Enchanter? Staying at the Circle would be horrible but having Irving’s job would almost make it worth it. I’d need to leave someone in charge whenever I escaped. Oh! But as First Enchanter I could just assign myself positions outside of the Tower!”
“No, you couldn’t be First Enchanter,” Greagoir snapped, looking like he was beginning to regret starting this conversation and yet strangely determined to see it through. “We’d import someone from Orlais first.”
“Well, I’m not going to stick around here then,” Anders declared, crossing his arms stubbornly.
“And just how do you propose that you can manage to walk out of here with dozens of templars right here in this room?” Greagoir challenged.
“Well, I’m sure that I can do nothing to stop you,” Anders freely admitted. “However, the most gorgeous woman that I have ever met might be able to do something.”
Angélique, recognizing a reference to her when she heard it, beamed. “I’m so sorry to have to do this, Greagoir, because you know that I heart you almost as much as I heart Irving and would like nothing more that to just watch you two bicker for hours but…I am totally conscripting Anders into the Grey Wardens. He’s very attractive, great in bed, and properly appreciates me.”
Anders coughed. “And I’m great at fighting darkspawn and the Grey Warden treaties require mages to help the Wardens and I’m the only mage available.”
“Right that,” Angélique agreed, nodding. “Plus, if you’re going to be mean and try to take Anders away then I won’t kill my way to the bottom of this mystery.”
Greagoir began to get the same pounding headache he always got when he spent more than five minutes in Angélique’s presence. “But the Grey Wardens can only have one mage at a time,” he protested.
“That’s a stupid rule,” Angélique said bluntly.
“It doesn’t matter, that’s Chantry policy,” Greagoir said firmly.
“Then they can lodge a formal complaint,” Angélique said dismissively.
Greagoir clearly had nothing to say to that.
“So now that that’s all been settled,” Anders said cheerfully. “I suggest we hurry up and go deal with this problem before Alistair gives in to his clear urge to just side with the templars.”
Anders blinked. “ ’Oo eez zhis ‘Anderz’ zhat ’oo speak of?”

@Sarah oh, too perfect! And Angelique and Anders together would give poor Alistair apoplexy.
Wynne: Young man, I do not think your mind would be on "protecting" anyone.
Petra *flutters eyelashes*: I certainly HOPE not....

I heart Angelique stories!
Seriously, this makes me so happy. The beginning had me cracking up, from Anders attempting an accent, to Carroll pretending to be Antivan, to the fake mustache.
I think the mental image of Greagoir having to listen to Namaya in hysterics for three hours is the best part, though.
And the one mage at a time rule strikes again. I bet they were regretting including that line when they wrote Awakening!

By the way, that dialogue SO made me realize how much Wynne reminds me of Growing Up Cullen's Edward.

No, in Origins. If you talk to the guy cleaning what will be Duncan's room before going to talk to Irving he mentions that the Wardens only ever have one mage at a time, and in the blood mage confrontation if you claim it's "secret Grey Warden magic" or something Wynne will bring it up as well.
I just mean they must regret including it there since they blow it all to hell in Awakening. You can end up with three mage Wardens at once if the PC is a Warden, too.

I don't think there is. It's just mentioned several times in Origins and when you get to Awakening you can have yourself, Anders, AND Velanna as three mages in the order.

Ooh, I never talked to the help! classist me! And none of my mages are ever blood mages in Origins because I have too much fun making Wynne one. Seriously, nothing funnier than getting her to do her "he is talking of BLOOD MAGIC" convo with that Tevinter slaver dude while she's still got the blood haze around her from casting blood wound on everyone in the room...
I enjoy tormenting Wynne. "Does it have Griffins in it?" makes me laugh every time.

Anders and Morrigan having off to the side conversations is a disturbingly awesome thought.

OMG! Mustache. *dies*

Miri: the blood magic confrontation only works if you have a mod to restore the scene installed, since they pulled it from the game. The problem was, unless you had a decent coercion score, you could lose both the templars and the mages for the final battle.
I can't NOT take the griffins options in that conversation, it's just too much fun to fluster her.

Jumping back a few posts - that thing about one mage at a time? I remember seeing a discussion about that - someone suggested that they told that mage that because they didn't want to recruit him. I'm not sure the Wardens worry that much about upsetting people's feelings but ya never know.

I can't see the Wardens not wanting to recruit them but the Chantry might spread the rumor or only allow one mage at a time without conscription and Duncan doesn't want to step on any toes when it's not Alistair or a Blight.Avilia wrote...

I can't hate Edward in it because he gets so worked up over everything that I really feel that he's suffering enough. Emmett is totally my favorite Twilight vampire now. I love how he's the only one disturbed about Jacob/Nessie and how he keeps chastising Jasper for his racist backstory.Miri1984 wrote...

I just can't go near Twilight any more. I truly, truly hope my daughter never reads it. If she wants to I'm going to require her to read Mark Reads Twilight at the same time. Even with all the swearing in it. But I'm definitely getting rid of my copies in a ritual burning at some stage...

Just that mage in particular I mean. The old fellow cleaning Duncan's room. He's the only one who says anything about one mage at a time isn't he? Or is it more generally known?
The other theory I've seen posits the rule might have something to do with the events at Solider's Peak.
Anders thinks they should recruit all the mages in the Tower! Well all the pretty ones ;-)
(Ooh that's on topic for the Prompt! Anders in Origins camp.)

I read Twilight senior year because all my friends were reading it and I wanted to be able to hate it objectively (I already decided it was bound to suck after some of my more, um, intellectual friends informed me that they hated it and my less-so friends loved it) and I had to stop, like, twenty pages from the end when Bella thought she had to get a prom dress to be murdered by her boyfriend without telling her dad or anything of the like. I do like some of the characters, though, and there's some nice fanfiction out there about them.
@Avilia: Apparently it's also mentioned in the cut blood mage confrontation.
