The next day saw the party heading for the mountains to the city where the dwarves city was. Alistair said that Arl Aemon would have been the better choice but Vlad said something along the lines of to much political backlash for right now. Rita wasn't to comfortable introducing the others to the paranoid dalish. Morrigan would rather kiss a drunken dwarf then go to the circle. So that left one choice.
The group immediately came upon another group that was trying to get in Rita managed to convince the men to leave without much incident no doubt this Logain is a prick.
"Alright we're in but we still need to know what is going on so we'll have to split into two groups Vlad go with Morrigan and Sten and try and figure out what the political situation is. I'll take Lelianna, Alistair, and Wrex with me to the Tavern to learn whats what around town." Rita grabbed everyones attention.
"Alright might as well see who exactly is trying to grab power with the amount of security as it is my guess is it's a shit show." Of course Vlad was right there were barely any guards around the front gate hell you could charge an army in here and they wouldn't know until it was to late.
"Vlad whatever you do try, try not to cause to much trouble here this isn't the same as it is back home for you." Rita was actually pleading with him.
"Who me you have absolutely nothing to worry about Warden trust me this will be very entertaining if all goes right." Vlad was being nonchalant.
"Entertaining is exactly what I am afraid of at the moment I would prefer we things boring WE have enough to deal with, without trying to piss to many people off."
The party exited the great hall of Paragons and were greeted with a brutal display two factions of dwarves argument led directly into a confrontation of blades.
Vlad was more interested in the large coliseum that was right in the middle of the great city than what two bickering factions wanted. 'Maybe I'll more if I compete in there couldn't hurt and I'll make some extra coin along with valuable knowledge too.' Making his way over he was stopped by Morrigan of all people.
"I do believe the Warden told us to figure out what the politics are, not to go off and cause trouble." Morrigan's trademark Sarcasm was hard at work.
"And we are by competing in these games we'll gain knowledge about who really is the better one of the two powers to go after make some money oh and keep our skills sharp." Vlad managed to even smile a bit more excitedly than Morrigan would have liked.
"It seems like a sound plan we'll be able to after the stronger of the two once this is over I like it." Sten hadn't thought the dark elf this clever.
So they made there way to the large Metal doors that were the proving grounds. If only Rita were able to stop them.
