Walkthrough
Hubert at the Hightown Market will inform you of trouble at the Bone Pit Mines which you co-own with him. When you arrive at the The Bone Pit, you will find the camp in flaming ruins and the men all dead. The quest indicator is to the south and can be reached by following the first long trail on the right. The trail ends at a large open area. Just before you reach the pillars at the end of the trail, the cut scene and boss fight is activated. This is the High Dragon of Dragon Age 2.

In addition to miscellaneous armor, weapons, and accessories, loot from the High Dragon includes:
 * High Dragon Fire Gland - Gives you the Herbalist's Tasks (Act 3) quest.
 * The Arms/Robes/Warplate of the Champion - Best Chestpiece in the main game; matches your Class.
 * Dragon's Blood

After that quick fight, return to Hubert to inform him that the men and equipment were destroyed by the dragon. Your choice in this conversation has no results on experience, companion friendship/rivalry, or other outcomes.
