No Event | Wounded Coast | Aphro possible?
The Wounded Coast was good for one thing, at least: finding work. It seemed there was always some kind of trouble going on out here-- bandits, blood mages, necromancers, Tal'vashoth, whatever the danger of the day was. There was always good coin in dealing with it.
Today, it was the Tal'vashoth. Ordinarily nobody minded the rogue Qunari out here, but people started to mind when they started knocking over merchant caravans and robbing people. The Arishok requested they be dealt with, though he didn't care by who or how. It seemed like a great opportunity to make some coin and impress the blunt Qunari leader all at once.
Though if they had planned the excursion a little better, Hawke thought to himself, they would have made sure to do it when the sun was out.
Dark clouds had been rolling in the moment they left the city, but those had soon turned into thunderheads and then a torrential coastal rainstorm. Water poured from the sky in sheets, the trail became slippery, and it was difficult to see more than a short distance away. Before long, Hawke had become separated from his companions. While he was more than capable of taking care of himself, he didn't especially look forward to facing down the last of the massive beings on his own. Even lower on his list was the prospect of walking back to town in this weather. He'd have to find shelter and-
Oh, there was a sword glancing just past his face. Hawke spun around, lightning shooting from his fingertips to force back the brute, helped along by the rain currently soaking the both of them.
"Back off, and I won't see if I can outdo the lightning," he yelled, though his smart remark was short-lived as a second attacked him from behind, knocking him to the ground face down, grabbing him by the back of the head and lifting him.
Oh, so this is what it was like to have your head bashed in on a rock. Hawke's usual luck would dictate somebody behind him in prime position to save him.
Or maybe his luck had just run out.
[ooc: This post is for lovingvambrace, but heck, I welcome any and all who would like to play with the setting! Canonmates are especially loved, but if you would like to have a jaunt with Hawke in the Thedas (generic fantasy world #143) feel free to tag. We can blur the setting however we need to. For porn.]
