Walking around the camp in Ostagar. Stumbling across the large group of soldiers who listen to that guy who tells them about darkspawn.

Guy who tells about darkspawn: "Their blood is pitch-black..."

I interrupt him: "No, it isn't. I've killed thousands of them, and it isn't..."

Guy: "Uh... what?"

Me: "You heard right... it isn't black."

Guy: "You... killed... thousands?!?"

Me: "Uh... I mean... eh... look at it!" I point at the genlock corpse lying in front of him. "It's red!" I poke at the corpse and red blood squishes out.

Guy: "Eh... well..."

Me: "The chantry wasn't telling you the truth about them... it's just a mutated dwarf..."

Guy:"How... do you know that???"

Me: "Don't ask... you don't... want to... know... all I say is: Eight boobs..."

I walk away.

They call that  "The Calling"... *laughs*

[Sialater]

And if you're captured instead of killed?

[Asante81]

They're not doing that. It was only the Architect in the novel. Wardens usually get killed

Hmmm... actually... you have a point there... They SHOULD decide to keep female ones as broodmothers. If they're capable of differing the genders when they're in berserk mode. I doubt that. As a female warden you just have to make them angry enough to kill you... I guess...

I know! Eau de ****** off Darkspawn!

Holy chantry symbols?
Or... wear Oghren's clothes... should do the trick too... to hide your feminine scent that is...

[Sialater]

I meant something to make them kill you faster instead of noticing what you are.



Frank The Glenlock: Uh-oh.... Broodmother's gonna be pissed, you killed another one!



Ted the Hurlock: I did not! They all look a like in those tin cans they wear!



Frank: She's still not going to like it. You know how she's been going on about how overworked she is and how ungrateful we all are!



Ted: I couldn't help it, it didn't smell like a female! All I smelled was .... ale! I thought it was a dwarf!



Frank: She's going to bite your head off.



Ted: <sigh> I know. You don't have to tell her it was me, you know.



Frank: I'm not taking the blame!

[Asante81]

*laughs*

Always blame it on the ogre!

[Sialater]

Of course! The Ogre!

[Asante81]

I wonder if Sten would consider ogres as qunari or tal'vashoth... *laugh*

Hmmm... interesting thought... Sten discussing the qun with an ogre... trying to find out whether he's qunari or tal'vashoth.

And Steve da Shrieker cannot be found... he's hiding in some shadow, giggling like mad...

What's the Calling and what novel? I mean, I've heard stories/fanfics about Wardens going to the Deep Roads when they're close to the end and fighting to the death. Is that it?

[Asante81]

"The Calling" is the name of David Gaider's second Dragon Age book. It's at the same time the "ritual" Wardens take when their "time has come". It is named by the fact that they start to hear the Old God's calling of the darkspawn. Which means they're close to transform themselves (the Wardens, I mean). So they go into the Deeproads to die there like the Legion of the Dead.

Hmmm... I wonder... did Fiona conveive only because she was close to the calling? Genevieve didn't turn into a broodmother though... must be the fact that they're an "inbetween" thing between humans and darkspawn...
Ah well... doesn't matter...

Most Grey Wardens are going to be around fifty by the time they head to the deep roads. At that point I doubt the women would make good breeders.

This is why Wardens can't have nice things.

We can have nice things.  They just have to be shiny swords and armor.

And I can have a puppy.  But they have short life spans anyway and have no grasp on politics.  Which is what makes Dog the best ever.

Dog is awesome.  But I feel so awful taking an animal in to battle.

I've owned a rescued Rottweiler who was just like Dog.  Entirely loyal to the pack, which included me and my husband, but willing to rip everything else to shreds.  Including the kids sometimes.  It was just his nature.  Unfortunately no matter how much training we gave him or how loyal and awesome he was to his owners, wanting to rip everything else to shreds really was the dominant aspect of his personality.  And he was so big.  He could have torn people to shreds, but all he did was snap at them.  The typical "It was just a warning, he could have taken a hand off."  He had to be fed by hand because otherwise he was too protective of his food bowl and would bite randomly anyone going near his toys or where he ate.  Even just where we put the bowl.  We had to keep the bowl off the floor and feed him on the porch because he was too territorial about anything.  Just too much protective aggression in his head.  A cat once got into our fenced in yard and he tore it to pieces.  Just a kitten.  Never had a chance.

We took him to endless training sessions including a two week "boot camp" for dogs intended to train them as guard dogs.  But he never managed to respond to voice commands if something was trying to run away from him.  And everything tried to run away from him.  Including my daughter's prom date.  Oh look, there's a guy in a tux running down the road with a puppy chasing after him happily and my daughter shouting "Hold still!"   He was kinda busted in the head and by the time we got him it was impossible to socialize him or train him away from his crazy ways.  We had to ultimately put him to sleep because he nipped at one too many people and his "nips" involved stitches.  Broke my heart, but I got a real insight into dog brains and learned how to win an argument with something the size of a pony with big teeth.  Usually involved full-body checks and me with my foot on his neck.  Then he'd sorta maybe listen.

It's kinda therapeutic to name Dog after my beloved brown-eyed-trauma Rottweiler and let him happily rip things to pieces.  I'd never take a labrador retriever into battle...but a Mabari or a Rottweiler?  Hell yeah, that's what they want to be doing anyway.  I have no doubt.

Well, I have a Labrador Retriever that's roughly the size of a Rott with the attitude to go with it.   I had to make very clear who was the boss when I first got her.  Including body checks and foot on throat.  But the second Lab is a fluffy teddy bear.  Go figure.  I know my oldest is the anomaly for that breed and the youngest is the rule, but wow, my first on my own dog and I get one with the attitude of a rottweiler.

I also have an abused Border Collie mix.  She was fun to rehab, let me tell you.  She's all better now, but she's still a bit nuts. 

Still would feel bad taking even a Rott into battle.

I'm sure it's a human error for breeding unwisely and creating an animal with that much aggression so that they suffer from it.

I feel bad for the necessity of battle any time anyway.  I'm a very Sun Tzu person.  If you have to fight, you've already lost. 

In reality when I got a rescued Rott...oh, not JUST a Rottweiler, a Rottweiler-Chow blend.  Might as well have bred a hyena to a dingo and tried to socialize the poor thing.  I didn't take him into battle and did my damnedest to keep him out, but he kept creating battle wherever he went.

In the game, I haven't felt a twinge of anything except love and "YAAAAY!"

Of course when I played Fable 2 it went differently and I cried for hours then too.

The most psycho dog I ever owned was a Shar'pei.  Believe me, they're only cute while they're little.  She grew up fast and was a one person dog.  ME.  When they're grown, they actually look a lot like a Mabari, just with a wrinkled forehead (and correctly positioned forelegs).  She was absolutely beautiful, but violent and territorial.  She was the reason I recognized what the Lab was doing when she was being dominant.  The Shar'pei had to be put down for ripping up a chihauhua.

[Sialater]

In my mage play-through, I was worried about that Mabari I healed till I ran into it on the road.
