I've not had the chance to bring it up. However, a while ago I added some competitive programs to the training simulation room. They're meant to give people another healthy outlet for conflict and hostile energy as well as improve skills as matched by an opponent.

There are several games as well as the option to customize your own. There are also two settings. One "honest" where cheating will absolutely not be tolerated. One "deceptive" where cheating is so long as the AI referees don't catch you and you don't cause serious harm to your opponent. Surprisingly, both have their merits.

This is also a reminder that you can get hurt in there. It is possible, so ask a Med Bay staff member if to come along if necessary.

That said, I'd like to speak to someone on the medical staff if you have the time. At least I'll have a better idea of who people can request aid from while I'm at it. But I understand with recent changes you might have to wait.

Bears aren't so bad but then again, most of my contact has been after they've been brought in.

What exactly does the Inquisition do? Because in my historical context the word "inquisition" usually relates to movements that don't usually go very well.

[liberaltus]

Some of the bears were Fade touched, that makes them rather nastier than your average brown bear.

Well to put it simply, the Inquisition was originally a group of people who rose up to defend Thedas against magic and heretics after the First Blight. Creating an alliance with the Chantry the Inquisition was split into the Templar Order and the Seekers of Truth.

The current Inquisition isn't beholden to the Chantry necessarily, or to anyone else, because it needs to be free to engage and react to the current threats against our world without people saying "oh, you cannot align yourself with blah, blah, blah." Essentially the function hasn't changed, its purpose is to protect the world from cataclysmic threats.

[He knows he's no bastion of morality. He lost his right to soap box about anything other than pride and loyalty a long time ago. But he can appreciate that the intentions of the Inquisition were re-purposed.]

Have you stopped any cataclysmic threats?

[liberaltus]

Well in a way, yes. Given when and where I was taken I cannot be entirely sure that the world was saved from Corypheus. We did stop time from ripping the world to shreds...granted I helped to create the theory for time magic so it was my responsibility. We closed the main rift, temporarily. That's something.

[warandpeace]

I should get your help in making some programs on how to deal with magical threats, especially if you're not magically capable.

[liberaltus]

That might not be a bad idea, as useful as magic can be it would be remiss of me to say that it is not a real threat.

[warandpeace]

A blade is a threat. Depends if it's in the hands of a healer or a fighter. The blade isn't to blame. Neither can what you use.

[liberaltus]

[Dorian can't hold back a laugh here, not a mocking one, but surprised and intrigued.]

You're marvelous. I need you in Thedas, you can give that message to the Chantry and the loyalist who use the rhetoric "magic is dangerous just as fire is dangerous. Anyone who fogets that truth, gets burned." Not that I want to quote Vivienne, but it's the same attitude, some mages muck up and now the lot are rounded up in prisons and kept from the world.

Thank you.

[Sometimes it gets into his head as well.]

Neither can = Neither is in that previous tag. Good job, me. Good job.

[warandpeace]

I owe you one for the potions. The least I can do is put you in good spirits.

Speaking of which, are your flowers still doing well?

Ah, one of those days. It happens lol.

[liberaltus]

Sometimes I forget there is nothing wrong with a properly used tool, I've been in the south too long. Seeing your face always lifts my spirits Kazuhira!

Some of them are holding up, surprisingly. Fortunately elf root can grow anywhere so I won't be hurting for healing potions. Apparently those are really handy.

[warandpeace]

I have no doubt they'll be more handy in the future if we keep making enemies. It's a habit.

I'll try to make some more appearances. I got a little busy at the last outpost.

[liberaltus]

I'll continue to make more, though my supplies are limited. I can grow plenty of elf root, it's bottling that's the problem.

I think we were all a little busy there. How are you? I should have led with that...so many of our number were taken as slaves, hurt.
