TRAP

somewhere in yet another abandoned warehouse...

Hawke: Alright, I've had about enough of these empty
warehouses, secret meetings, and random thugs jumping me as I'm traveling. Let
us just get what we came for and leave.. (hurriedly she approaches some stairs
not really paying attention in her rush)

Fenris: Occasionally they use these warehouses to store
things.. not just for secret meetings I'm sure.

Hawke:  I can't remember the last warehouse I saw that actually did store things. I would kill
to see that... (Hawke continues at breakneck speed towards the stairs, annoyed at the prospect of more thugs
laying in wait for her)

Isabella: Careful there is a trap!.. (she yells trying to stop Hawke before it is to late)

Hawke: (stops mid-stride upon hearing Isabella's warning. Looks down only to see the tip of
her boot placed precariously on the edge of a pressure plate) Bloody maker Isabella could you give me a TAD more warning than THAT!?

Isabella: And miss the chance to see that look on your face? Oh, I think not.

Hawke: Just disable this thing so we can move on.

Isabella: (approaching the trap with much gusto and a flick of her hair she begins to disarm the trap)
Your such a slave driver! (the trap clicks) There, you happy now?

Fenris: That's in pretty bad taste, Isabella. Even for you.

Hawke: A slave driver, Isabella? Really? Did you just equivocate me asking you to disarm a simple trap to the
oppression of  slavery? When Fenris is RIGHT HERE even. Really? (Hawke puts her
hands on her temples and rubs her forehead wearily) I swear Isabella, sometimes you really do have no tact. I should have brought Varric.

Isabella:  (just smiles broadly at both of them, winking
in Fenris' general direction) Oh please, as if you two haven't played the runaway slave and the mage master when your locked in your bedchambers. Get over yourselves.

(Hawke and Fenris exchange uneasy glances and quickly look at their toes)

Hawke: *ahem* We should get going, no more traps I take it.

Isabella: (Laughs heartily) I knew IT!... no more traps miss mage, but maybe you should let the runaway slave lead from now on... I enjoy the view better.

Fenris: I swear Isabella, the way you run your mouth makes me wonder how your still alive most days.

Hawke: (nods at Fenris to take the lead. He steps in front of the party
obliging.) At least she is right about one thing, the view is better this way.

Fenris: (lingers a stare at Hawke who winks reassuredly, grunting and
readjusting his sword on his back he starts walking ahead of them ignoring the
sharp whistle from Isabella.) Let us move ON...

 It's my first time...be gentle!  (Edit for grammar fail caused by in-box editing...)

Prompt: Swim

Along the Wounded Coast...

"This is it", Isabella murmured, comparing the line of the coast they'd been traveling to the somewhat improvised map.  The recent rains had hindered their progress, but Isabella had practically driven them all insane insisting that one of Castillon's caches was hidden near this particular inlet, in the face of the cliff. “Now we just have to find a way out there.”

"I'm going to have a look around. If I see any more giant spiders, we’re leaving." Hawke grumbled, peering at Isabella. The pirate snorted, and both Varric and Fenris hid grins. Aniya sighed, shook her head, and
slung her matched dueling blades back across her shoulders. The former mercenary worked her way toward what looked like a narrow game trail heading towards the rocky cliff. When she was something resembling out of earshot, all three burst into muffled laughter. Varric eased Bianca from his shoulders and moved to cover Hawke. He was still chuckling to himself as he settled into place.

Hawke heard them, and sighed to herself. Yes, the mighty Champion of Kirkwall is afraid of any spider she can’t step on, as if you lot would let me forget.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aniya quietly crept along the narrow strip of land leading out to the site.  The trail abruptly ended in a narrow ledge, but sure enough, there was an old, improvised ‘bridge’ created by a large tree trunk that lead out to another narrow path. It was suspended about twenty feet from the ledges, and at the end, she could see the cave opening clearly. There we go… 

She eased out onto the ‘bridge’, which was wet and covered with slime. Oh, great. At least there weren’t any tracks in the stuff; there surely would have been had someone been this way recently. Hawke was squarely in the middle, about 10 feet out, when she lost her footing. She tried to grab the log and hang on, but it was too slick. She lost her grip and plunged toward the rocky, shallow waters.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 “SSSHHHHHHIIIIII……..!” 

The exclamation ended in a shriek and a muffled splash that carried all the way back to the three companions. All of them leapt to their feet, and Varric cursed. “I saw her slip, but I didn't see where she fell.”

Fenris swore and charged down the path where they’d watched Hawke disappear among the rocks, with
Isabella and Varric on his heels. They all skidded to a stop at the end of the trail and searched for her along the cliff base.

“Hawke!” Fenris shouted down the cliff. “Are you all right?”

“I think so. I hope one of you remembered some rope because I’m not the best swimmer!”

Isabella ran back up the trail, and came back with a coil of rope. She handed one end to Fenris,
then dropped to her belly to look as far over as possible. Hawke was treading water, and didn’t seem in any immediate danger.  “Here it comes!”  She tossed the coil over the edge. Hawke grabbed it, and climbed back up. She grimaced the whole way, but finally made it to the ledge. Isabella grabbed her hand and helped her over the edge, back onto solid ground.

She looked for all the world like a drowned rat, right down to the shivers as the wind kicked up. She obviously knew it, too. 

"Not. A. Word. To. Anyone!" Hawke growled. She tried to glare threateningly at them from under her sodden hair, but the effect was far more comical than alarming. She couldn’t help herself, and her face puckered with the effort not to grin.

All four of them burst into laughter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They now had no real way to get to the cave, but if it stopped them, no one else was getting out there either. The companions retraced their steps and made camp a decent distance from the ledge. Hawke wasted no time settling in front of the fire they'd decided to risk. It was the best she could do, since they hadn’t planned on getting stuck out there.

Fenris had been aware of her shivering and trying to hide it since they first pulled her from the cliff. He untied her blanket from her pack, draped it over her shoulders, and sat down beside her.   The fire flickered off of his armor and the Amell crest on his belt.

“I think we’re likely to forget about the spiders now, Aniya,” he said, grinning at her. Hawke smiled back at him. Hearing him use her name warmed her as much as the fire did.

There's one thing I never quite understood. Fenris can phase through people/armor Kitty Pryde-style without any problem. Why couldn't he do the same thing to locks?

Hawke: Hey! It's a locked chest! Let's open it!

Varric: (Removing a set of lock picks from his pocket) Madam, it would be an honor for me  to indulge your kleptomania. I'll just be a minute.

Fenris: We should move on. (phases hand through the lock, breaking the mechanism) There it is done.

Hawke: Thanks Fenris.

Varric: (muttering to himself) Note to self. Add lock picking attachment to Bianca.

So that's why the Coterie was interested in hiring Fenris...(I remember seeing a reference to him signing on with them at some point.)

I wondered the EXACT same thing. Especially since a few times I forgot a rogue. I was like "well, I have Fenris why can't he just phase through the chest and loot the goodies for me!?"

I even took him up to a locked chest once just to see what would happen... LOL. Not much unfortunately.

Long time lurker, delurking...

Love it. Love Fenris. I just romanced him, a second time. I was going to attempt to romance Anders but, well, just couldn't stay away from the broody elf. Yay!

Funny story...

I decided I would romance Anders during my most recent PT, a snarky rogue type.  So I flirted a bit with Anders, things are good to go, but I'm purely miserable.  Anders constantly whining about how he's going to break my heart is just wearing away at me.  And then I get to Act 2. 

Now you have to picture this right.  I'm playing on my laptop, in the living room, perched on one end of the couch with my hubby on the other end.  He's playing WoW on his laptop, with the sound turned off, but my game is merrily playing along, with all the conversation and sound effects blasting aloud to the whole room.  Hubby always seems to find this a pleasing way to cuddle with me, actually, so no making fun about the both of us spending time together on two seperate laptops, hehe.

Okay, so I get to Act 2.  I decide I'm going to visit Anders and I take my Hawke and her group down there.  Group, mind you, includes my favorite elf.  So they all enter the clinic and there's Anders, whining some more about how much he's going to crush my little Hawke's oh-so-snarky heart.  So then Anders does that grabby-kissy move on my Hawke.  I confess, until this PT, I'd only seen the kissy move via Youtube, okay?  I didn't realize he did the kissy move after only a couple flirts.  I was just plain caught off guard, thinking, "That's it?  The guy's that easy?"

At that moment, my husband looks up at me.  He's confused, asking me what's wrong.  So I look back at him, and say in a bewildered tone, "Anders is kissing my Hawke."  Hubby starts laughing with gusto.  He says, "You should see the look on your face.  You look totally violated.  Geez, hon.  Just break the poor guy's heart and go sleep with the elf again."

I love my husband so much.

Me and my husband do the same thing with the different laptops too funny.

That's actually a relief somewhat.  One of our friends came over at one point and laughed himself silly looking at us sitting there, each on our individual laptop, saying something caustic about "modern families" and "quality time".  It kinda hurts when people are overly judgemental.  But hubby and I game together; silly or not, it works for us.

It still feels good knowing we're not the only ones, lol.

@Phyfreblade LOL love it! My husband and I, well, are similar to you and your hubby. He plays on the desktop, while I play on my Xbox but they are in different rooms so, in order to talk we text. Yeah, in the same house, playing different games and we are texting. Sick! LOL

I wanted to romance Anders but every time i try, I just can't. Ever since my first play through and he blew up the Chantry, well, I don't like him but I want to like him. I liked him in Awakenings and want to see that Anders but it's just not working.

Hehe, I hear ya, I really do!

This is the first time I managed to get a flirtation with Anders to Act 2, and I abandoned it right there, gave him the "broken heart icon" response to that kissy move thing.  I just can't seem to do it, I can't.  Every time I think about it, I think, "Terrorist!", and then any positive feeling I might have goes, "Ugh". 

Anyway, my rogue went off to complete a romance with Fenris, so life's good again.  Poor Anders, no more flirting for you, bub.  <pbbfftt>

[Tealsie]

So the typical cycle for some playthroughs seems to be:

Step 1: Start romance with Anders
Step 2: Try to resist Fenris
Step 3: Fail your resisting
Step 4: wave your willpower away and break Anders' widdle heart
Step 5: Something splendid happens with Fenris
Step 6: Profit!

That about right?
...  I seem to have been rather lucky. On my main Anders romance Fenris seemed to have no interest in her, so it was a bit easier to resist . The only playthrough so far where I didn't get far enough over one way or the other, and was forced to kill him.

I never have had to kill him (Thank the Maker - 'killing' him in the Fade was bad enough) - even in the unspoiled PT (Pro-Mage) I was able to get him high enough I could talk him into siding with me.  I have a feeling I will have to kill Merrill this PT - we'll see. If she's max rival, does she come with you if you go pro-Templar?

[Chugster]

just wondering if you guys prefer Fenris' interactions with a mage Hawke or non-mage Hawke?

Im planning on an all guy playthrough but im not sure whether to have Fenris with a mage or rogue

[Arquen]

I've actually romanced Anders to the point of dumping him on my doorstep. I do like Anders. In fact he is one of my favorite characters, but I just don't LOVE him.

I believe I had the same look as Phyre when the "kissy" scene popped up. The panting and the way he just attacks you does nothing for me. Also, he's a little "creepy stalker guy" in that he is going on and on about how he thinks of you every waking moment and your all.. umm.. that. is. uncomfortable.

I followed through and got him to my house but then he started going on and on about how Fenris was a beast and blah blah. I just kicked him out right there. I just couldn't hear it without thinking about the fen-romance and how now I'm going to be living with an insane mage. Even though I was rivaling Fenris at the time and did the whole rivalmance scene in act 2 then let him leave I just didn't want to lose the Act 3 romance. I just couldn't follow through with Anders after that. The way he just pushes himself into your life, "hey, lets move in! I've been thinking about you day and night for 3 years!" It is unsettling. Sorry, I tried. The farthest I got was right before the smexy times. 6 playthroughs... 6.. and Fenris each time. My boyfriend says I have a problem... I think he is right.

I like Anders. I'll support him even. I just can't romance him. It is as Tealsie says.

@Ursula: Yes, Merrill will side with you against the mages if you have her at full rival. I borderline hate Merill so I rivaled her on more than one occassion. I've sided with both Templars and Mages, but she will come with you on both. In fact, I've never killed her  On this playthrough I totally am going to though 

@Chugster: Fenris is great paired with a mage. I actually value that romance a bit more. I did mage on rival path and friend path. The friend path is much more to my liking. He tells you that your pretty much the exception to the rule, but doesn't waver on his belief that mages are "dangerous."

On my rogue, however, Fenris seemed to just like her more. Always staring inappropriately and seemed more relaxed and easy to befriend with her. He doesn't attack you when you first meet him as  a "viper in the midst," but instead says something like "magic isn't something for people like you and me." So I prefer the mage romance, but the rogue pairing is probably more cohesive.

The whole "laying awake acheing for you" thing was the most creepy thing.  really, Anders dear, that's... sweet and all, but you should probably keep that sort of thing to yourself.
... I did love him calling Hawke "little girl" and "sweetheart" at different times, though.  
Ahwell. Fenris romance is just more lovely overall, to me. There's not really any scene(like with Anders) where you facepalm, or giggle because it's strange... or get uncomfortable.

This comic pretty much sums it up about the Anders v Fenris, LOL. By ceruleancres on DA.

Oh, I can't imagine killing the elf.  My first PT, I ended up killing Anders after he came back around when I tried letting him go.   That's the only time I've ever had to kill a companion who came chasing after me once I'd made a stand one way or another.  I mean, I just gank Anders right after the chantry blows up, rather than wait around.  But Fenris, never.  I've had him maxed out one way or the other every PT, thank goodness.

How did you manage it?  I would've abandoned the entire PT right then and there, just plain started over from step one.  I can't even watch the Youtube vids showing Fenris being killed like that. You're a strong strong woman.
