@KoP - Would you rather I learn how to spell Arcturus? I can try, but can't promise I'll get it right the name's not in front of me on the screen. And another great Derp btw... that scene is always a good one for lol's.

Ack!  ToP!  

More kingmaking derp.  There's just so much material to work with during these scenes!

No no, I don't mind Archie. I like it in fact lol

[Wulfram]

I tend to think of the Archdemon as Archie

Well Arcturus is going to be the Archdemon's dad technically

[Tigress M]

@KoP - Oh good. Otherwise I'd have had to have a sticky note on my desk with Arcturus written on it.

@Wulfram - I know! I was like that too when I first saw that, but after hanging out here for a few months the Archdemon is now AD and Archie is KoP's canon.

Which reminds me, where is Ejoslin's Loghain fix again?

It's in her latest version of Zevran Dialog Fix. It's an optional file though, so if you want you can only download that file and ignore the rest of the mod, though I don't recommend that as the mod fixes way too many other things.

Also, about the Extra Dog Slot mod, if you intend to surrender at Cauthrien's estate, make sure that you disable the mod before surrendering, otherwise some issues will occur when selecting which companions come to rescue you. You can reenable it after the quest is over.

The other issue with the EDS mod, during the final battle, make sure to send Dog away (with the whistle) before starting the mini-quest where the companions you left behind defend the gates. Once that quest is over you can call Dog back with the whistle.

@ Zjarcal

Thanks for the heads up and the link!

So what mods are you using at the moment KoP?

Tmp's awesome mods (propertion fix, less effects on weapons, blood, pants..etc), dog slot, Morrigan's robe, IA (though I removed lots of things from it), winter forge though I didn't use it extensively yet, metagaming items that I don't use, Leliana's SA armor, Terra's Morrigan restoration and I think I've missed a few.

Which reminds me, where is Ejoslin's Loghain fix again?

There's only one item in the metagaming mod that I use, and I use it in every game.  I forget what it's called.  Ring of Rebirth?  It's the ring that allows you to respec.  I like it so much more than the Character Respec mod because you don't have to find a raven everytime you want to replace your respec potion (Character Respec allows you to carry only one 1-use potion that you have to get from ravens that are placed in different areas throughout the game).  I usually respec all my companions as soon as I get them.

Zev Dialog Fix restores some wonderful party banter scenes that were missing from the game.  There's also a wonderful set of weapons that I use often, but gah!  It must be brain-sieve day.  I can't remember what it's called.  It's the mod with the beautiful writing engraved into the blades.

tupp, Elvenhan Weapons?

EDIT: KoP, I also highly suggest this one before you reach the Dalish camp. It changes the appearance of the Dalish to look more realistic in that they are under siege, not just milling around like nothing is going on. The author just released this today, and I have already tested it to see that it works. (working with the author the past few days on how to manipulate utc files)

"In a perfect world, we never would have met." ...Or would they? Unlike with the other stories, these two weren't actually together in canon, either, but they were friends.


The door opened.
 
“Where are you going?” King Cailan asked curiously as he quietly slipped into the room.
 
Prince Alistair, dressed in splintmail armor, reluctantly pulled his foot back through the window. “Escaping.”
 
“Escaping,” Cailan repeated, sounding amused. “From what, exactly? The palace is hardly a prison.”
 
“There are certainly enough guards to staff one,” Alistair muttered.
 
“Oh, they’re just there to make sure everyone knows who we are and to carry out our orders,” Cailan said easily. “Well…and technically also to protect us but I’ve never found myself in much need of protecting and you can certainly take care of yourself. Still, it’s nice not to have to.”
 
“I will concede that they are important,” Alistair acknowledged. “But how am I supposed to see the real Denerim if they’re always following me around and making sure everyone knows that a ‘royal personage’ is coming?”
 
Cailan laughed. “The ‘real’ Denerim? And where, exactly, do you think we are now? The secret fake Denerim?”
 
“It might as well be for all that it compares with the rest of the city,” Alistair declared. “I want to meet the people and the guards, regardless of their intentions, get in the way. They won’t let me out by myself and so I’m escaping.”
 
Cailan rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “You know, as your king and elder brother, I feel like I really should put a stop to this reckless course of action.”
 
“But you won’t, right?” Alistair asked hopefully.
 
Cailan laughed again. “Oh, go have fun, Alistair. And flirt with an elven girl for me. Anora never lets me have any fun…”
 
Alistair thought about pointing out that since he was married, Cailan wasn’t supposed to be having that kind of ‘fun’ so Anora’s attitude on the matter was really quite reasonable but decided that it would just be a wasted effort. His brother had a happy talent for never seeming to notice anything that would inconvenience him. Instead, he nodded his thanks and took off for the tavern.
 

 
Ahria Noromin tapped her foot impatiently as she waited for her cousin to join her. Shianni had been increasingly busy since Valendrian had decided on Shianni as the future hahren of the Alienage. They had all been rather…concerned about Shianni’s brash and outspoken nature but, though she would inevitably step on some toes, leading the Alienage would call for that at times. Her mother, who had been a bit of a rabble-rouser herself back in the day, had always insisted that Shianni would turn out fine and now it looked like she was right. Still, they had been planning to go out for drinks just the two of them for weeks and Shianni had better not have forgotten.
 
“I’m sorry I’m late!” Shianni cried out as she ran towards her cousin. “There was a discrepancy with the one of the accounts and-”
 
Ahria shrugged. “At least you’re here now.”
 
“There is that,” Shianni agreed. “Let’s hurry before Soris decides to tag along with us.”
 
“Why didn’t we invite him again?” Ahria asked as the pair began to make their way towards the tavern.
 
Shianni rolled her eyes. “Maker knows I love my brother, but whenever we go anywhere he keeps trying to set me up with people. He claims it’s because he wants to share the joy of matrimony with me – especially when Valora’s around – but I think he just doesn’t want to have to help pay the dowry or risk losing me to Highever.”
 
“Well with your future all planned out, I think there’s very little risk of that happening,” Ahria decided. She had been secretly donating some money to Shianni’s dowry fund because, though she knew her cousin wouldn’t appreciate the ‘charity’, she didn’t want her to have to marry anyone that wasn’t worthy of her.
 
“I notice you didn’t invite Nelaros, either,” Shianni pointed out.
 
“True,” Ahria admitted. “But he’d be kind of a third wheel since the point is to catch up with you. Besides, it’s not as if I didn’t see him all day, anyway.”
 
“You really lucked out with him,” Shianni noted. “Being an elven merchant isn’t easy but since he smiths all your goods for you, you really don’t have to worry about finding a supplier.”
 
“Well, you know what I always say,” Ahria deadpanned. “If you’re going to be forced into an arranged marriage, it might as well be a good one.”
 

 
Alistair was standing at the bar when the redheaded elf walked up to him.
 
“Where’s the bartender?” she asked him.
 
Alistair gestured to the room behind the bar. “He actually runs this service for some of the shadier elements in Denerim. ‘Favors for certain interested parties’ and whatnot. He’s meeting with a nobleman right now to work out the details on one of these ‘favors.’” It wasn’t that Cailan didn’t know about this (Alistair had considered it his brotherly duty to tell him about it), it was just that he found it charmingly roguish and was content to let it be.
 
The elf’s eyes widened. “Is he really? You’d think he’d find somebody else to watch the bar.”
 
“I’m Alistair,” Alistair introduced, offering her a hand.
 
“Ahria,” Ahria told him, shaking his hand. “So what are you here for? Not to drink your sorrows away, surely? If nothing else, when you collapse drunk it would be much more comfortable if you weren’t in armor.”
 
Alistair laughed. “Oh, no. I just…needed to get away for awhile and I always love the atmosphere here. You?”
 
“My cousin and I are just here to have some fun,” Ahria replied. She paused. “And since I’m an elf, I feel it might be a good idea to add that by ‘fun’ we do not mean ‘threesome’ and neither of us is looking to go home with anybody.”
 
“Got it,” Alistair told her. “Although my brother did ask me to flirt with someone for him…can I tell him this counts? It’ll save me the embarrassment of trying to find someone else to flirt with. You used the words ‘fun’ and ‘threesome’ and everything!”
 
Ahria smiled. “Oh, why not? While watching you try might be fun, I’m in too good of a mood to be that mean. Hey, do you have a table?”
 
Alistair shook his head. “Not yet. I was waiting for the bartender to come back and get a drink first so I would look less pathetic sitting there by myself.”
 
“Why don’t you come sit with me and my cousin?” Ahria suggested. “We could wait together.”
 
Alistair brightened. “You know, I think I’d like that.”

Really nice touch Sarah. Shows just how small the world can be.

[Tigress M]

@Sarah - That's great! To think the two of them could have met and possibly become friends despite the whole darkspawn thing NOT hanging over their heads is wonderful!

[Maria13]

@Sarah really like it, so do they fall for each other or just spend a nice evening?

[tuppence95]

@Tigress - I really enjoyed your story.  It did a very nice job of filling in the blanks of how the female warden and Alistair might have felt during the rest of that night.

@Rage - very nice interpretation of this prompt with pictures.  I love that sad pic of Alistair.  It's so sad, but it also cracks me up.

@Sarah - Wow, really interesting!  So ... was this just a brief encounter and then they both went their separate ways?


I have a bad habit of starting characters and not finishing them.  Min Brosca is on hold now because I just don't like where her story is going.

Meet Penelope Aeducan.  Her father taught her the games of politics, she's a skilled fighter and talented rogue, but she's incredibly spoiled.  I don't have the right dialogue choices for her though.  When the wounded soldier crawled up to her in the Korcari Wilds, she wanted to say, "Alistair, why is this man speaking to me?  Get rid of him for me."  She's got a lot to learn.

[sylvanaerie]

Its Derp day YAY.  This is always a neat scene.  For my submission, Dog/Alistair/Roland derp in the tower of Ishal.  Brothers in arms!

She's married and I don't think he, with his Chantry notions on the matter, would start something with a married woman. It's hard enough to convince him to stay with a Warden when both of them are unmarried and they're already in love when he becomes king.

I think that if they have a nice enough time, though, they would still get together on occasion when Alistair escapes the palace.

Thanks, good to know they may have [chaste] funtimes, as someone else said to me "Sad Alistair makes me sad" though I do like sad stories too...

[Merilsell]

Great take on the prompt, Sarah. Sorry for my lousy feedback, I'm bad in that ...which is why I rarely review FF's even though I read them. *whistles*

Okay, okay...we had our fun. I fixed mine.

Just thought I'd let you all know that photobucket apparently didn't like censoring the sandbag, it has no problem with the uncensored version, though.
