Changes: The Verchiel March

Revision as of 23:16, 29 October 2019

The Verchiel March is a companion quest for Sera in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Sera says there's trouble in Verchiel. She's asked for an Inquisition presence—a few troops to march through town—to spook the nobles pushing around her people there.

Acquisition

After Skyhold receives its first set of repairs, talk to Sera at her new location, on the second floor of the tavern.

Walkthrough

Sera got a tip (not from a Jenny) that a land squabble between some nobles in Verchiel is getting little people beat up. So she wants the Inquisition to march through town to spook the nobles, which could get them to deal with each other in a way that keeps the normal people from being stuck in the middle.

Agree to look into it and the operation A Battalion for Sera and Verchiel will become available at the war table. Once the operation completes, return to Sera and she'll say it's time to collect the reward. Sera will be a locked party member.

The party arrives in an isolated section of the East Side Hills region of Crestwood. After some dialogue (no approval changes), the party is forced into battle with a small group of mercenaries. The quest technically completes at this point.

After dispatching the mercenaries, a voice calls out saying he wants to talk things through. Speak to the noble and he identifies himself as Lord Pel Harmond. The Inquisitor learns that Harmond was only trying to draw out the Red Jennies, and has no desire to become an enemy of the Inquisition. He eventually offers a partnership:

Harmond: If you are willing to recognize an opportunity, we could be exceptional partners.

[Investigate.] - no approval changes for asking any of the four questions
(Nobility Knowledge) You'll serve the Inquisition. (scene ends) - Sera Approves
Just kill him, Sera. (Sera attacks) - Sera Approves
I'd like to partner with you. (scene ends) - Sera Disapproves
Just get out of my sight. (scene ends)

The Inquisitor can investigate through dialogue before making a choice. After asking a question, Sera will tell the Inquisitor to stop talking to him. The Inquisitor can ask Harmond two questions safely, but after asking three of the four possible questions, Sera will lose her patience and attack Harmond on her own. If she attacks him, whether ordered to or not:

Sera: What?!

(Mad) I wasn't done with him! (if Inquisitor asked too many questions) - Sera Disapproves

No approval changes for remaining options

The scene moves back to Skyhold. The dialogue exchanged will vary greatly depending on how the quest has played out to this point, but the dialogue choices follow a precise structure.

Part 1

Sera: one of five possible opening lines

This was your fault, too. (go to Part 2) - Sera Slightly Disapproves
Don't question me!/No more mistakes, understand? (go to Part 5) - Sera Greatly Disapproves
You're right./Unpredictable but worth it. (go to Part 4) - Sera Greatly Approves

Part 2

Sera: You're sure as piss not putting me next to him.

You put your people in danger. (go to Part 3) - Sera Disapproves
Your plan provoked him. (go to Part 3) - Sera Disapproves
Never mind, I'm dropping it. (go to Part 4) - Sera Greatly Approves

Part 3

Sera: You'd rather do nothing than try to make this better?

You don't help anyone! (go to Part 5) - Sera Disapproves
It's about the greater good. (go to Part 5) - Sera Disapproves
Never mind, I'm dropping it. (go to Part 4) - Sera Greatly Approves

Part 4 (ends scene)

Right, what do you mean, because I am really not used to that... acceptance thing you're doing right there.

(Romance) It's simple. I like you. - Sera Slightly Approves ( Sera Approves for qunari and dwarf)
I want us to be friends. - Sera Slightly Approves
It's business. I need allies.

Part 5 (ends scene)

Sera: line varies depending on total amount of approval/disapproval with her

Get out. (Sera leaves the Inquisition forever)
Watch yourself. (Sera stays with the Inquisition)

Results

Sera will stay with, or leave, the Inquisition through dialogue choices.

Red Jenny Attends a Party operation becomes available at the war table, regardless of how the scene ended (and as long as Sera is still around)

Rewards

1025 XP, 400 Influence, Power: +3

Notes

To avoid confusion, it should be noted that neither entering into a deal, nor telling Harmond he'll serve the Inquisition, has any practical effect on the game, other than dialogue during the following cutscene. He cannot be recruited as an agent.
Completing the quest will earn a location in Crestwood discovered if none have been discovered previously, even if the region hasn't yet been unlocked on the war table.
