Dragon Age: Redemption

[Tallis voice-over]

Struggle is an illusion.

This will make you talk.

[Screams]

Stop the prisoners!

Come back!

He has escaped!

[Tallis voice-over]

The tide rises.

[Fighting sounds]

[Tallis voice-over]

The tide falls.

Amateurs.

Saarebas?

You escaped?

Our cell was lonely without you, Yevven.

Did you divulge your secrets?

No. I told them nothing.

But you will tell me, old friend.

You will tell me everything.

[Screams]

[Tallis voice-over]

There is nothing to struggle against.

[Tallis voice-over]

Victory is in the Qun.

Victory... is in... the Qun!

Athlok...?

Hey, Athlok?

Heh.

Two weeks, still don't respond.

She dim, yeah?

You're one of us now, Athlok.

Like it or not.

Assassin of pigs now, ey, knife ears?

Watch who you call knife ears.

Someone gotta be taught

how it works down here.

Oh, I know how it works.

Looks like a pig.

Smells like a pig.

Squeals like a pig.

My job is to carve it up.

You've been called, elf.

Follow.

What now, privies need cleaning?

You've been made Tallis again.

Really? Were my skills missed?

There's a task,

you've been given another chance.

Don't waste it.

There's been a breakout

at the Chantry prison.

Our mage, the Saarebas,

has escape with a group of prisoners.

Retrieve him, alive.

Do not stray from your mission.

You know the consequences for failing.

Again.

Uhm.

[Screams]

Where do you think

you're going, Tinker, uh?

Haha. There's nowhere to run.

[Screams]

Can you not hear me?

- I hear you, I hear you...

- Can you hear me?

I heard you! I heard you!

Never mind, I'll carve it out of you.

[Screams]

Pardon me, plate mail,

but I've been tracking this one.

He's mine.

My name is Cairn, and this criminal

is being apprehended by the Chantry.

Well, I don't need him forever.

Be a good Templar and give us a moment.

Then he's all yours.

You were travelling with a mage

after the breakout, a Qunari.

Where is he headed?

How do you know that? Who are you?

Athlok.

No...

I'm Tallis, and I work for the Qunari!

Your lover is the jealous type, uh?

The mage Saarebas is our prisoner.

Leave by the authority of the Chantry!

Alright.

I need to know where that mage went!

Tell me, and I won't have

that Templar haul you back to prison!

Damn you, elf.

All I know is they're searching

for some Dalish camp somewhere.

Now lemme up!

I'll do better than that.

You're God here

is called Andraste, right?

Yeah. She's brave and beautiful.

Sounds like we'd get along.

Say hello for me!

Elf!

Defend yourself, elf!

You just murdered my prisoner!

He was wearing a ear necklace.

Tacky.

Tell me what he said!

I command you,

- ...in the name of the Chantry!

- The Chantry?

That church pulls your strings

like a puppet, doesn't it, Templar?

And you're Qunari,

a half-step above darkspawn.

From the tracks there's at least

a half dozen with the mage.

It's funny they only sent one of you

after such a prize.

I'm enough.

Oh, confident too.

Tell me what he said!

Almond?

Go on, take one.

It's the only thing you'll get from me.

If I see you again,

I will kill you!

I don't consult with the enemy.

It's too bad, I'm a great consort.

[Tinker]

Not safe in the forest anymore.

Brigands... ruffians, coming at you,

from every direction

I'm gonna open up a shop.

Open up a shop selling spoons,

'cause everybody needs a spoon...

- Hey!!

- [Screams]

Remember me?

I saved your noisy hide, so...

You owe me.

OK!

I'm looking for a Dalish camp...

[Crying]

You are not welcome!

Go, Templar!

I'm tracking an apostate mage,

what happened here?

The Dalish solve their own problems.

Leave, or die!

It's alright.

He's with me.

I was just waiting for him to catch up.

What do you mean waiting for me?

How did you beat me here?

You followed the mage,

but I went where the mage was going.

Hoped to get here ahead of him.

Sadly, I didn't.

What happened here?

Did the apostate do this?

It was near dawn.

Our lookouts were the first

to be murdered,

so we didn't hear them

until it was too late.

How many attackers were they?

A dozen.

No, half that.

The mage was nothing

I had ever seen before.

I have thought he was a demon.

Laughing as he torched us.

They were headed here for a reason, why?

The Keeper's wagon was ransacked.

They were searching for something.

Fina is gone! They took her with them.

She's gone Maerwynn! Kidnapped!

Josmael, there are many burned bodies,

she may be among them.

No, no...

She can't be dead,

we're to be married next solstice!

You are first to the Keeper!

Act as such.

Show me the wagon they searched.

Where is your Keeper?

I would speak with him.

He was taken, months ago...

By Templars.

I found her hair ribbon

outside the camp perimeter.

That means she's still alive, right?

That's deductive thinking...

We were 'trothed.

Soulmates, they said. We were born

on the same day, promised at birth.

What a beautiful coincidence!

You have to help her!

I don't have to do anything

but accomplish my task.

Which is to retrieve the Saarebas.

I clean up messes, but yours

is not mine to clean, little elf.

I made that mistake before,

I can't do it again.

Got it?

So what where they looking for here?

Did they take anything?

Yes. A Dalish artifact.

The golden mask of Fen'Harel,

the God of nightmares.

I know who Fen'Harel is.

I may be Qunari,

but I was raised an elf.

The elves are all one people.

Adorable.

So, what magic does the mask contain?

Only the keeper knew. He was taken

by the Chantry before he could teach me.

But I know it is very dangerous

and I would give my life to protect it.

But it's gone and you're still living.

Fina was in danger!

Isn't she gone too?

I was torn...

I... I just froze.

Not even a goodbye?

After I saved your tin ass back there?

Thank you for your help,

but I have work to do. Don't follow me.

Better idea!

Let's work together.

Saarebas and his thugs

took some kind of magic object

from that camp back there.

Who knows what they're gonna do with it?

Now... You could track the mage,

that's what Templars do, right?

And... I've already proven

that I'm smarter than you, so...

Oh, and I have this collar...

That once snapped on the mage,

it will render him powerless.

Docile.

We Qunari know how to treat our animals.

How did you become a Qunari?

They forced you to convert, is that it?

No intelligent being could...

Before them I was nothing!

I was a slave.

My parents sold me into it.

The Qunari gave me refuge,

a purpose, and a name...

Tallis.

What does it mean?

To solve.

We'll capture the mage

and we'll deal with his cohorts.

In the end, we duel for him.

To the death if we need to.

Deal?

Deal.

- But if you betray me...

- I'm not without honor, Templar.

Odds are we won't even get that far.

Two against that group is...

Three will be better.

They have Fina, I know it!

I can't live unless I find her.

Take me with you.

Sorry youngling, we have no nanny

to nurse you while we do battle.
