I think it was the leader of the mercenary guild, with the sword. Bartolomeo. The world can stand two weapons named Bianca, methinks And an epic crossbow > claymore.



They'll refuse to die until someone wins a drinking contest XD

[tmp7704]

Considering the stuff Isabela tells you in DAO I'd expect her either weasel out of the contest in the first place, or cheat -- after all why give yourself a pointless hangover when you can just part passed out fools from their money instead.

[Pseudo the Mustachioed]

But with Varric, it's personal. Her hedonist pride is at stake!

[tmp7704]

Well, she seems way too pragmatic for the pride thing. I mean if you try to step on her ambition about the Blight etc she plainly admits something to the effect she really doesn't care what people think of her, her personal well-being gets the top priority.

Besides isn't it plain funnier to scam and outwit a dwarf than try to compete with one ;s

[mellifera]

Yes, this is a matter of pride and such!

But isn't drinking with Varric fun? 8D

You have many good points, but I'm just being ridiculous to keep the thread alive~

yup pretty much the same

[mellifera]

What if they're both cheating? Then we'll never get anywhere either. I imagine both are good enough to notice if the other is anyway.

[tmp7704]

I expect dwarf to cheat but not at drinking contest. Because well, free drinks ;p

(different priorities, so to speak)

I imagine it's how they met. Both in a tavern in Kirkwall, not near each other, but close enough to be in each other's peripheral vision. Isabela notices Varric downing ale like it's water. She gives him a nod of respect and empties her own tankard. Not to be outmatched, Varric has his glass refilled and chugs it with a glare. Back and forth, until they pass out. When they wake up they introduce themselves and give each other a pat on the back for insane drinking skillz.

[tmp7704]

I'd imagine their first meeting to be in form of Isabela opening eyes around past noon and finding Varric between her thighs, bleary and giving her a puzzled "why hello there too, now where the heck am i?" look/gruff mutter.

But going by what Mary/Sheryl said, that's kinda out of question?

[Pseudo the Mustachioed]

LOL yeah I'd say so.

[tmp7704]

Maybe it could turn out to be a prank played on her by the crew. Find a drunk enough dwarf, put him in bed of their drunk captain. Watch hilarity ensue when they wake up... from safe distance

[Pseudo the Mustachioed]

"...whu... how did I end up here?"

"It happens more often than you'd think. Thirty seconds to clear out or I slay you."

"Uh... okay."

[tmp7704]

- Wait a minute, where is my crossbow. I'm not leaving without my crossbow.
- ... What, you think i'm hiding it somewhere?
- It happens more often than you'd think.
- ... you have now fifteen seconds left.

[Pseudo the Mustachioed]

Hahah XD



Poor Isabela ;~;

[Bruddajakka]

I've now got a mental image of Isabela in a drinking contest with Varric with Zevran as the prize...or if that doesn't do it for you Bethany. Or both.

[Pseudo the Mustachioed]

A pile of all the remotely attractive characters in the series between them, lines of empty mugs forming around each as they down glass after glass. Visual poetry.

So hey, I just posted this in the Isabela thread, but Isabela has a blurb page on the DA2 site now and it mentions a tavern called the Hanged Man. Could this be where Varric hangs out too?

Edit: eh might as well post the blurb here for the lazy.

Blurb!:

The Felicisima Armada is not without its female captains, and among
them Isabela is among the most notorious. Once captain of the "Siren's
Call", shortly after the Blight ended her ship was caught in a storm in
the Waking Sea. It was destroyed, and Isabela washed ashore at the
Wounded Coast, feeling lucky to have escaped with her life.

Now she's stranded in the Free Marches, spending most of her time in
the Hanged Man tavern while she attempts to find another ship to
command so she can rejoin the Armada. Those who speak to her in the
tavern will likely get a story of her adventures in Rivain when she was
very young, or the years she spent as a sailor in Antiva, or even the
time she spent masquerading as a priestess aboard an Imperial
freighter... how many of these tales are true is anyone's guess, and
Isabela's laughing smirk tells them that she doesn't care what they
think. She's a pirate and will one day be again, and all someone really
needs to know is that when Isabela's dagger is at their throat they can
let her do all the talking.

Heh i started to read that but then stopped half-way through.... don't want to spoil things too much for myself for the actual game.

[Pseudo the Mustachioed]

In the same place, eh?

Hawke: Can we... get a little privacy, maybe?
Isabela: Oh, it's just Varric. He's hardly paying attention. Right, buddy?
Varric: Did you say something?
Isabela: See? All the privacy we need.
Hawke: But... I wanted to talk about... you know.
Varric: Go on. I'm not listening.
Isabela: You heard the dwarf. So what did you want to talk about?
Hawke: ;~;

Hawke: but...but I can see your ear perking up every time I start to say something, Varric! ._.

[Pseudo the Mustachioed]

If Isabela is going to be doing storytime at the tavern... where will Varric be o____o



He's been uprooted!

[Anarya]

Or maybe there's more than one tavern in Kirkwall. But they're buddies...maybe they tell stories together? Or take turns?

So it seems we'd be meeting Isabela after the Blight? When would Varric come into the game? If we get Varric pre-Blight in the timeline, would they have time to meet each other before that? Then again, Varric could come in later too. BLARGH WHERE IS THE GAME GIMME SKJALDSA:DSLKFJ
