Wahy (Arabic for Revelation of God) found herself chained in a dungeon, with an angry, Shemlen Templar woman shouting at her. Wahy remained silent... who the hell does this Shemlen think she is? Another Shemlen female came it, who turned out to be Leliana, and revealed that angry Templar to be Cassandra. Apparantly, awful things had happened and they blamed Wahy. Of course, blame it on the Dalish Elf.
Leliana held the angry Templar back from raging on too much and when she had calmed a little, she took Wahy outside to show what was going on:
By Mythal! The sky seems to have ripped.
Cassandra led her further. The Mark on Wahy's hand gave her agonizing pains, and Cassandra explained that the breach in the sky was expanding, and every time it did that, the mark on Wahy's hands gave her these pains.. and it was killing her. Not good.
So Wahy decided to help, which seemed to please the angry Shemlen Templar woman. Good, cause the Keeper told her Templars really aren't that fond of mages outside of things the Shemlems call 'the Circle'... and Wahy happens to be a mage and barely know that this Circle was.
Wahy and Cassandra moved on, until a demon spawned from the ground. Cassandra told her to stay back, but soon another popped out of the ground and Wahy had to act. A staff was nearby and thus the demons were defeated.
They continued and soon after they reached two other people who were fighting demons. A dwarf and... OMG, AN ELF!!! Wahy could barely contain her excitement, almost forgetting there were demons to be defeated, when she noticed the Elf had no Vallaslin. Bah.. a city dweller. The demons though, they were defeated quickly. The other Elf took charge:
That was... MAGNIFICENT. This Elf without our markings might prove to be usefull and very, very knowledgeable. A little bit too knowledgeable, maybe.
The Dwarf turned out to be a guy named Varric. Wahy has no opinion of him yet, though he's giving off a general vibe of not being all too serious. Why he didn't escape the clutches of the angry Templar remains to be seen. There might be some good in him.
Soon after they ran into another rift. The demons were slaughtered, the rift closed and the doors leading to Leliana were opened. (how Leliana herself got past the rift... is a mystery). Behind the door we found her in somewhat of a fight with yet another Shemlen, this one apparantly part of the fake Shemlem religion. The guy was not very helpful at all, and wished us to retreat. Not gonna happen, Shemlen.
Then, much to Wahy's surprise Cassandra let Wahy decide which path to take next: charge in with the soldiers, or take the mountain path. Wahy took the mountain path.
There they fought more demons and saved some soldiers. Had we let the angry Templar have her way, these people would be dead. Time for some charm:
Then they finally reached the Temple, at just about the same time as Leliana and her troops.
Afterwards Wahy passed out, as the next thing that happened is her waking up in some house, with a really, really scared and nervous city dwelling Elf beside her. The poor thing.
Time to get up, dress up in her new, fancy armor, and see what the Shemlen have in store for her.
Tune in again tomorrow for the next episode of Wahy's adventures
p.s. This playthrough is going to take forever.

Eh, no. I have a premium account on imageshack which gives me unlimited saving space. (I have the best screenshots in there from 2 DA:I runs now, and 3 or 4 entire trilogy runs of Mass Effect
But why? Are they taking long to load? Cause that is because they are pngs, and not jpegs.

TODAY I FINALLY DEFEATED THE RAVAGER DRAGON AND THEREFORE HAVE VANQUISHED 10/10 DRAGONS!!! ![]()
(I haven't actually unlocked the achievement until I connect online again but I am still happy)
The dragon fight itself was very annoying. At the beginning, I got the dragon's hp to 0 and it didn't collapse to the ground. It was just frozen in a static position so I fast travelled away and returned to the dragon. The dragon's hp went back to full so I had to battle him twice back-to-back
. The dragon battle was another drawn out fight which lasted about 20 mins (but the background music was good so I didn't mind). The loot at the end gave me a new mask for my inquisitor to wear and is my favourite headgear so far. I have a save just before the dragon in case of a bug.
I then decided to meet Hawke and Stroud in a cave. It has been about 30-40 hours since I last saw Hawke so I imagined that they would be tired of waiting after all this time. I spoke with them and they told me to go the Western approach. When I got to the Western Approach, I thought to myself "oh no, Stroud is going to use his freezing time and space ability" but it went more smoothly.
Finally got to Adamant but I am way overpowered at lv 24. I even reckon I could give the attacking dragon a run for it's money. I finished playing after Adamant but I can't believe how slowly I am progressing for my second playthrough. I originally was only doing this playthrough for the dragon achievement but I have ended up doing all the side-quests again. This playthrough so far is around 70 hours

Emerald Graves, Take III!
Sullastine and the crew tackled a little place called Chateau See My Dead People first thing on the agenda. They were thinking about ignoring the place, but they got too many complaints about how the house seemed to be prone to "swallowing" unwary treasure hunters. So she, Cass, Bull and Grumpy Elf traipsed up to the empty old manor and proceeded to give the possessed little girl a spanking and stern admonition to stop playing possessed head games with random strangers. Obviously, it got messy and the little girl and her demon friend got forcibly separated which put a rather permanent solution in place. However, the Chateau won't be showing off its dead people to anyone else any time soon.
Then, Sullastine decided it was finally time to go take down that dragon. The first time they went up to the high plateaus, the fighting was just too messy. There were more giants and brontos than anyone could shake a stick at, and BELIEVE ME THEY TRIED. At one point, Sullastine and Solas were busy with one giant while Cass and Bull got busy on another. Then, the brontos attacked and it just get very messy, very fast. When the dust finally settled, it started to look like they'd added in the whole bronto population of the Emerald Graves, but then they found a few clinging to life around the dragon's den ... Yay! just what every dragon fight needs - bronto adds. Well, the dragon fight didn't last long though because it chuffed off a breath ball at the group and they discovered that Harding's initial reports on it were just wrong. It wasn't an electric breather. It was an ice breather, and they were kitted up for electric. Oops! Back to camp for new potions to handle that.
So, a long trip through the Emerald Graves later, and we're back at the den of the Mistral. This time they got into the fight before Sullastine stopped to think that Solas was maybe not the best backup mage for the job with his three ice spells ... for an ice dragon. But they were committed! It was the dragon or the team, and at least Grumpy had a fire staff. Many minutes later, the Mistral gave it up and breathed her last. Predictably, Bull was the only one who needed any reviving, but at least everyone was prepared for that. Dorian will get to play nursemaid later on.
Sullastine was all set to finally leave the creepy elven forest when ... She noticed those last few icons on her maps. There were some Dalish nearby and, of course, she hadn't bothered to finish dealing with all of Fairbanks crap. It would look sort of bad if she left the creepy elven forest without even finishing the business that brought her there in the first place, but she was sorely tempted. So after one more trip to Skyhold to ditch Solas for Varric to unlock some stubborn doors, they wrapped it all up in a final flurry of errand running and dungeon crawling. Sullastine was finally able to root out the last of the Freemen/Red Templar collusion and prove that Fairbanks is a noble, but since she left that information in his hands, she expects a lecture from Josie about it when she returns to Skyhold.
But, on to Emprise du Lion by way of a small pit stop in the Exalted Plains to tell Hawen his clan members got themselves massacred.

I have just connected my xbox one to the internet and an achievement did pop up. It was for "Belle Of The Ball". I looked at the dragon achievement and it just said 60% achieved.
My internet connection is very slow so I will give it some time or try again tomorrow. I hope it unlocks though as the only save I have is before the Ravager dragon. This would mean I have to defeat the dragon another 4 times ![]()
I am in shock at the moment!!!

The journal says 10/10 and I got a war table mission afterwards about dragon research.
I am hoping it is just a delayed reaction because of my slow internet speed but I will try again tomorrow. ![]()

[2 days ago]
I got this cutie angry.
Then nearly got eaten by a dragon.
Dragon got angry too.
Then meet a big bad one, got nearly killed, escape, nearly frozen but saved by Cassie & Cully.
Then find a ruin, I wonder what it is actually? And how does he knows about it at all? Hmm...
What?? The shems are crazy... They want me to do what??? They don't know what awaits them...
[yesterday]
Got to meet this other cutie. He changed a bit (dyed his hair?) since 10 years ago, but still as charming as he was.
[today]
Looking at two Grand Master apparently not so good player doing chess battle. Play with one of 'em & let him win... (since I'm good at heart
)

Emerald Graves, Take IV
Why? WHHHYYYY?!
They just won't let go ...
Sullastine thought she was done and ready to leave the creepy elven forest, but just as she and her crew were mounting up to head to the Exalted Plains, Cullen manages to catch them at the portcullis.
"We've managed to lure Carrol out! He'll be at the Lion Pavilion, and I'd appreciate it if you make it quick. I used to know him ..."
Well, as the crew battled a host of Templar Shadows, and Cass, of all people, took her first ever dirt nap (They all did really, one on top of the other. It was a bit like that hand stack game you play as a child where the hand on the bottom gets pulled out to stack on the top. Well, just as the person on the bottom would get revived, POOF! the person doing the reviving would keel over. That went on until we started popping third tier focus abilities to get everyone back up again.), Sullastine started to think they might not ever get back to Skyhold again. It was looking grim, but they finally managed to down all the stabby crystal-handed bastards.
Sullastine distinctly has some uncharitable thoughts about that fight who made what quick, and she fully plans for Cullen to hear about it later, too.
Then they delivered the sad news to Keeper Hawen in the Exalted Plains before riding back to Emprise du Lion and Sahrnia and discovering that no one is dressed appropriately for the weather there.

It's time.
Yes. Unless...
I mean, I could go after those last four shards in the Hinterlands, trying to sneak past Frosty the whole way. It was kinda cool to collect obsidian in that fashion. But, ehhh, I dunno. I haven't been to the Forbidden Oasis yet, either. I could go there and have a look around. I'm only about 680 experience away from level 12, so that idea has some merit.
Thing is, I've done everything else I can do for now. The Hinterlands -- apart from Frosty's home -- have been just about completely explored. The Storm Coast? The same. As much as I can, anyway. The Fallow Mire? Complete. There are no war table missions left for me, other than to gather coin. Cullen approves of this, but I'm sure that by now most of his troops don't, heh. None of my companions have anything new to say to me, and everyone is outfitted in the best gear I could get/make for each of them...
No. The Forbidden Oasis can wait. It is time.
Time for...
In Your Heart Shall Burn.
Squeeeee!

Apart from every scene that has Morrigan in it, In Your Heart Shall Burn is probably my favorite part of the whole game. In a game filled with a lot of great moments (for me anyway), it is epic. Not just the attack, but everything that comes after it, right up to arriving in Skyhold.
I do love to take screenies. Haven't done too many for DA:I yet, but I have had -- stupid reformat without backing up d'oh! -- thousands for the ME trilogy. I may have to get FRAPS running for this part, heh.

Lyell and his merry band of miscreants (except for grumpy pants Dorian) have now taken on 3 dragons. Gone is the one killed for Frederic. Gone is the Crestwood one and gone is the one on top of the tower near Judicael's bridge. ****** takes off and flies around shooting ice balls. They are cold. They hurt. Could have been ice-cream balls, then after we could have had a party. ![]()
Fairbanks will now be Ser Fairbanks - let's hope he keeps up his good works.
There is one thing however that (actually two things (and no! I am not going there)) baffle him. One is why on the Maker's green Thedas does the Inquisition insist on pitching camps right on top of red lyrium when they know its effects? And the second thing is not so much bafflement as concern. There is a large presence in Skyhold of both chantry and Orlesians. He has a sneaking suspicion that both are going to make a play of owning the Inquisition once this is all over.
Let them slug it out. Lyell's running away with Dorian.
Also very entertaining is listening to IB chatting up Cass. Lyell and Dorian just keep smirking at each other and snickering behind their hands. ![]()
