The Migration - Part 11: From A Blood Feather on FF.net
A snippet:
As it neared, it lashed across with the blade, but with the poor footing it had the blade she parried barely had any bite to it. Countering quickly she slashed at it, her cut crossed along its chest. It did no more than scratch the front of the armor it wore, but the cut was not meant to damage much. The darkspawn stepped back at the quick movement, making it hesitate. In that moment Kallian got a full whiff of the thing and tried not to wretch. It smelled like an outdoor knackery in the middle of summer. A sickening sweet rotted smell as the carcasses of animals laid out in the sun. It assailed the nose and made one's insides curl. She ended up hesitating as well and it moved towards her again.
A smarter sort might of continued to back away till they were on more even ground or even try to work their way around her. This one didn't think that far ahead. It tried to attack again, exactly in the same manner. She parried and countered as before, but when his arms were wide open she snapped her leg up and kicked it square in the chest. Off balance and with shaky footing, the darkspawn tumbled backwards down the steeper side of the hill. Knowing this had to be done with quickly, she slid on her feet down the hill after it.

I'm slow, but I keep going.
The Migration - Part 12: Ruffled Feathers on FF.net
A snippet:
Duncan answered as he looked at him, "Old treaties, if you're curious. Promises of support made to the Grey Wardens long ago. They were once considered only formalities. With so many having forgotten their commitments to us, I suspect it may be a good idea to have something to remind them with."
Daveth twisted his lip, "What? We have to remind people that if they don't fight the Blight, the darkspawn will destroy everything?"
"It may sound absurd," Duncan sighed and shook his head, "but time, politics, old hatreds, and Chantry given traditions tend to dilute such basic truths. These treaties are not strictly just to the King of Ferelden and his people. I had hoped that we would have Dwarves, the Dalish, and the mages here at Ostagar already." There was a furrowing of his eyebrows and something of an edge to his voice then, "But convincing people to comply to such a threat is turning out more complicated then it should be."
