I have only played MoA through once so far so I may have not taken in everything I should but it occurs to me that may be that scroll was a plant. After all, in order to guard against theft of their gunpowder receipe, they made an alternative to look like the real thing and then were even willing to sacrifice a few soldiers in order to make it seem worth stealing. Now I was under the impression that Tallis wasn't exactly "in the loop" regarding what was going on and operating somewhat under her own initiative but then again perhaps she did and realised that the list being given to Duke Prosper was a forgery, so if he acted on it then innocent people really would die. Hence her apparent doubts.
The other thing that strikes me as a bit odd is that if Tallis believed the list to be genuine, why did she even tell Hawke what was in it? To some extent Hawke didn't really need the scroll because the important information had been divulged, that the Qunari have a number of sleeper cells throughout Thedas. It stands to reason that the scroll would not have every single person named because that is the way spy networks are managed. If someone is captured/turns traitor, etc, the damage they can do is minimal. It doesn't take a mastermind to figure that many of those sleeper cells are likely to be among alienage elves - since it had already been demonstrated that the message of the Qun had a great deal of appeal to them - and the biggest alienage is in Val Rouyaux. So Hawke has no scrupples about innocent lives, they could just go to the Empress with the information and every other ruler in Thedas. After all, just because Hawke helped Tallis, it doesn't automatically follow that you did it for altruistic reasons and it would seem the planned worked. Now Varric has apparently spilled the beans to Cassandra - do you suppose she will pass the information on? If there are suddenly a large number of purges in the alienages, you know that she did.
Incidentally, given the amount of fire bombs going off, I'm surprised the scroll made it through anyway.
Was that piece of paper really so special?
