A Murder of Crows is a quest in Act 3 of Dragon Age II wherein a man claiming to be an Antivan noble tells you that he is pursuing a dangerous assassin. He says he has been attempting to bring the criminal to justice but that his quest has become personal since the man has killed several of his subordinates. When asked why he has come to you for help, he says that the assassin is an elf and is blending in with the nearby Dalish tribe so he needs someone more familiar with the Dalish to track him down.

Acquisition

Talk to Nuncio outside of The Blooming Rose.

Walkthrough

Go to Sundermount and speak to Variel, she will direct you Mountain Cave. Upon ascending the Sundermount and fighting a Varterral you come across the assassin, who is actually Zevran. You can choose to take him in or let him go; in the process, you can flirt with him. If you let him go, he runs off; there should be a new camp on the marshes map. Go there, the man who "hired" you attacks you and Zevran shows back up to help you fight him off.

Helping Zevan will cause him to return the favour by assisting in your battle against Meredith.

Notable Items/Rewards

Bring a rogue since there are chests and traps you need him to unlock/disarm.

If you loot the cave, you can get Boiled Leather Plates - Upgrade for Isabela, Righteous Rain, a bow, and Ring of the Shadow Hunter.

After defeating Nuncio, you can loot the camp for Proving Battle Tunic. If you choose to let Zevran live, he will also give you Finesse.

Note

If you have Isabela in your group and allow Zevran to go, she asks him for sex before he takes off. Zevran will agree and you are given the option to join them for a threesome and Zevran will comment "The more the merrier". If Aveline is in your party, she will say that she just threw up in her mouth a little. If you are in a romance with Isabela and do not flirt with Zevran during the dialogue, you may still receive this option.

Bugs/Glitches

Due to unknown reasons, introduction dialogues might trigger twice, before letting Zevran go and after dealing with the Crows. Also, quest might stay active in the journal even though it is finished.

Loading a save file from before the Varterral fight will possibly fix this. May have to do it several times before it actually resets. (Only tested this once) --Kayden

This mission will occur even though you import a saved game from Dragon Age: Origins where you kill him.

Zevran's dialogue (and codex entry) are written to differ for a romanced Warden and for a romanced Warden who did the Ultimate Sacrifice (he will turn down Hawke and/or Isabela's propositions). However, as of the current release Zevran's dialogue is bugged to the non-romanced state.[1]
