Def I don't know how to stealth. (Also from now on I'll refrain from tackle-hugging you in Origin/Steam because apparently most of the times it's actually Phil, not you xD)
Ah, that moment... priceless
*snickers* Okay, so apparently it wasn't a big thing per later posts, but when I first read this I was just thinking of Stormy's beau panicking and going, "Honey, I swear, I didn't do anything! This crazy lady just hugged me out of the blue and... I didn't do anything!
GUYS GUYS GUYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

ergh a group is going to replace the thread. crappy. I don't join groups, I'll just hold the fort here. This place has my sulking corner for my going on 2 weeks depressed mood.

It's not going to replace the thread at all. I can't visit groups at work and we need to keep this thread in the Master category.

Paragon's runner (a Dwarf - yeah that's right Beren, a DWARF) steps into the Herald's Rest. He looks around confused at apparently the Iron Will sobbing amidst a pile of memos and shakes his head momentarily to clear his mind - he has a package to deliver. He tucks a large box under his right arm and squints at some notes scribbled on his left palm.
'So', he mutters to himself. 'I'm looking for a cranky Storm Mage and a scowly Dual-Wielding Rogue that more than likely have blue paint in their eyelashes.' He peers around the bar. Drawn more by the smell of ozone and the sound of a dagger repeatedly scoring through wood than appearances, he locates Ash and Verse muttering darkly together in a corner.
'Excuse me Inquisitors Ash and Verse?' They look at him suspiciously, glance at the box he is carrying, look at each other and then nod assent to the Dwarf.
'Excellent, I have a package for you'. The Dwarf carefully places the box on the table in front of them.
'Oh, and a letter,' he places the letter - smudged with blue paint - on top of the box. 'From Paragon'.
As soon as the words are uttered he knew he had made a mistake. A crack of lightening erupts from Ash's eyes and in one deft move a dagger flies past the Dwarf's head landing in the wall opposite, the haft quivering. His eyes widen and he backs slowly towards the door never taking his eyes off the two Inquisitors, even though ripped memos like snowflakes are showering down on him amid muffled sobs and curses. He reaches the door and bolts into the courtyard.
'They don't pay me enough for this sh*t', are his parting words.
Verse checks the note and box for traps and gives the all clear and Ash opens the letter. It reads:

To: Inquisitors Ash and Verse
From: Inquisitor Paragonsluster
Location: Classifed (well I'm in the Hissing Wastes, grave robbing but I digress )
Dear Losers Ash and Verse
I would have delivered this myself but I've got word that IR is on the verge of a breakdown and I don't want to add to her stress over the big Opening, so I used my Dwarf runner - be nice to him he's new (and cheap).
You were formidable adversaries my dear friends, and in respect of that I enclose gifts for you both. An Antivan leather bridle for Ash's Smokey (a noble beast) and a dual blade halter made of dragonskin for Verse. I also enclose a cake that I personally baked - don't worry I checked it on a raccoon first, it still lives - and a small bag of likes. Of course I haven't handed them all over, what kind of prankster would I be if I just rolled over and showed you where the money is? Oh sorry about the blue paint not really, but just so you know, Sera gave me the idea
Signed - Paragon
PS What did you think of Nogarap? It cost me 200 gold to get a Mortalitasi to knock that up for me - it was so worth it
PPS Can you show Beren this letter as I'm interested in hiring some of his Templars as bodyguards
Ash and Verse glance at each other again.

This right here is a good example of why this thread will not be abandoned. DQ head canon happens here. Drinking from forum threads is brought here. Oh Paragon.

Acceptable. It did happen just before. I was ready to snap at anyone that disturbed me while ploughing through those memos. Even sent Solas running.

Well sure, it makes sense that dwarf would have a dwarf runner.

I quite understand. I'm assigning three of my best (better than me, that's for sure!) who have all undergone extensive lightning resistance training at the Temple of Pride. They are very devout and have been told to obey your word as though it were the word of Andraste herself.
