^ Damn, I didn't even notice that. CAN'T UNSEE.
As for the fire being like Sera's tempest ability, Dorian is the one who sets Marius on fire, not the potion.
That's what I mean though. We have potions that allow you not to burn in Inquisition they just also set you on fire. I imagined it was just something similar that a non-Tempest could make up.
DAI-period may have it so only the Inquisitor can close Fade rifts that large..
but I'm pretty sure I got the sense that the future will have a field of study that will include the eventual ability to close rifts, even if not to the same ease as the Inquisitor obtained and did it.
Now if it's anything other than this I will be very disappointed.No, it doesn't. It just reduced the damage from fire.
This is obviously the same gambit used in The Princess Bride at the castle gates. The Dread Pirate Roberts ... uh, Marius ... takes no survivors!
Maybe Sera drinks the charcoal tasting potion off screen first then smashes a Flask of Fire on herself?

Nah, it's explained while discussing the specialization with the trainer, Kihm, and The Iron Bull that your armour is coated with something alchemical that stops you from being burned. Whether that is in the Tempest flask itself or separate is unclear, but you don't drink anything.
Bit of a bump to remind that issue 4 is releasing on March 16, 2016 (next Wednesday!) 
Already read the chapter. I found it dull, but if fans like some of the cameo appearances from DA: Inquisition, then they might like it. (They're just not the characters I get excited about.) Not much happened and it ended very abruptly, which I didn't like.

Mostly it was just treading familiar ground; Tessa and Marius are literally just mopping up after the Inquisitor. Definitely the weakest issue thus far.
Was the whole "drawing a bath" thing was an invitation for sexy times, or am I dense?
I also thought it was boring, but it was sorta nice to see the Chargers actually IN action. Beyond the initial Bull recruitment combat sequence, we don't see them do much during Bull's quest, and all of the other times we just read war table reports.
I thought the cameos were rather superfluous, and Dorian's sole reason for being seemed to be to tell the reader what sort of slave mage killer Marius was, with the fancy Tevinter term -- perrepatae -- and all that.
Finally, I agree that the Charter bath remarks seemed like Tessa has a thing for her, or that they have some sort of fun flirtation going on.
[edit]
The continual teasing of the Inquisitor doing this, saying that, and so on is starting to really IRK me. F off with my character during DAI. If you want to say they did whatever after the game, then I have no control over that, but leave the in-game iteration alone. (My personal perspective, obviously.)

Didn't buy issue 3 , reading comments guess I'll pass on this one too.
Bet they're going to stumble in Orlais somehow.
It was...um...I forgot. I read it...but...I can't remember what it was about! Uh...well...
Just read it, gotta say I'm getting annoyed with the plot spinning its wheels so much. We're getting a lot of silly cameos (apparently just to establish these two characters in the world) and not a lot is actually happening. The action was actually pretty good in this one though.
This basically is the plot. Magekiller is a series of side stories with Marius and Tessa as the connecting thread.
Which is an OK approach for a continuing series, but I wonder if it was the best choice for a limited run.
I like the whole Charter and Tessa thing and I hope it continues as Tessa not getting any from Marius, when they do Dragon age 4 I would like to see all three in it
So far it's just "Hey, look at these previously unmentioned characters and how they were totally involved in the Inquisition storyline without you knowing!" But that isn't enough, it isn't adding anything and we aren't learning anything interesting or new (Aside from one new word). That's why it feels more like we're still establishing character backgrounds.This basically is the plot. Magekiller is a series of side stories with Marius and Tessa as the connecting thread.

More tactics being employed here than all of dai tbh.
So anyone actually want to tell the plot of this issue?
Marius and Tessa get sent to the Hissing Wastes to report on renewed Venatori activity there (After the Inquisitor's visit), and find about a sizable Venatori presence. They get reinforcement in the form of Dorian and the Chargers. Marius drinks a fire resistance potion and has Dorian set him on fire as a distraction while the others free the Venatori's slaves and set charges along the cliff the Venatori are camped under. They detonate the charges and drop the cliff face on them, Bonding with Dorian ocurrs. Marius and Tessa return to Skyhold where Leliana tells them that the Inquisitor needs them. End issue.
Did they mention what was so all fired important about the Hissing Wastes? If the Inquisitor had already been there, then that means we had already cleaned out all the old dwarven tombs, nothing of which I would have thought was of interest to Corypheus or the Venatori even though that is what they were investigating when the Inquisitor arrived. So it would seem that after we had destroyed the main Venatori base in the region and all their outposts, they then thought it worth their while to return on mass and take up residence again. What for?
I agree with whomever said Tessa and Marius are literally just mopping up after the Inquisitor. Magekiller is rather boring right now.
