War table/Dialogue

While working at the war table The Inquisitor's advisors, Cullen Rutherford, Josephine Montilyet, and Leliana engage in dialogue with each other.

Dialogues

(After Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts)

• Josephine: I have request for information on your lineage from a few interested parties at the Winter Palace.
• Cullen: Andraste preserve me! Feel free to use those requests as kindling.
• Leliana: No, I shall take them. I want to know who pines for our commander. We can use this to our advantage.
• Cullen: I'm not bait!
• Leliana: Hush! Just look pretty.

───────

(If Leliana was in a relationship with a female Mage Warden)

• Cullen: So you and, uh...
• Leliana: Yes?
• Cullen: Was she... I mean... did she ever...?
• Leliana: Are you asking for details?
• Cullen: I, uh, no! That would be, uh, inappropriate.
  ───────
  (If Inquisitor in a romance with Cullen)
• Cullen: Inquisitor, we were...
• Leliana: Eagerly awaiting your presence -- some of us more than others.
• Cullen: I wasn't... I mean, I was... We have work to do.
• Leliana: Of course.

───────

(Possibly a reference to Garrus, from Bioware's other game, Mass Effect, who would say he needed to do "some calibrations" when bothered.)

• Cullen: I should inspect the condition of the trebuchets. They must be calibrated to reach the proper range.
• Josephine: Again? How many times will you be doing that?

───────

• Josephine: You've styled your hair that way for ages now Leliana, why don't we do something new with it?
• Leliana: I'm used to the way it is.
• Josephine: What about our commander?
• Leliana: He does something with his hair already.
• Josephine: It does look very nice today.
• Cullen: I don't..
• Leliana: You mean it just gets that way on its own?
• Cullen: Not entirely.
• Josephine: Laughs

───────

• Leliana: Has either of you noticed a change in Morrigan? I fear for her.
• Cullen: Fear for her? Rather than fearing what she will do? You do care!
• Leliana: I would have concern for anyone who came into contact with that... thing.

───────

• Cullen: If you squint Lake Calenhad is shaped like a bunny.
• Josephine: Perhaps we should take a...
• Leliana: Oh, I think I see it.

───────

(If Cassandra is made Divine)

• Cullen: Is it me or is Cassandra more solemn than usual?
• Josephine: Lady Pentaghast only contemplates what awaits the next Divine.
• Leliana: You know Cassandra hates being called Lady Pentaghast.
• Josephine: I look forward to seeing Divine Victoria's reaction to the ceremony around her inauguration.

───────

(If Leliana is made Divine)

• Cullen: So Leliana, should I bow whenever you come into the room now?
• Leliana: The ceremony is not for a while.
• Josephine: It will be strange to see you and think, there walks Divine Victoria.
• Leliana: Then let us enjoy these moments while they last, as colleagues.
• Cullen: Or as friends.
• Leliana: What's this, a breach in decorum?
• Cullen: Perish the thought.

───────

• Josephine: Do you ever wonder what lies at the edges of the map, past the seas?
• Cullen: No.
• Leliana: I think we have enough to worry about on this continent.
• Josephine: Of course, but... sigh

───────

• Josephine: Inquisitor, you should know that your spymaster is an incorrigible prankster.
• Leliana: I don't know what you're talking about.
• Josephine: My, my things, in the courtyard.
• Leliana: The ruffles were very festive.
• Josephine: Leliana!

───────

• Josephine: It's a bit cold in here, don't you think?
• Leliana: We are in the mountains.
• Cullen: I'm more concerned about everything scattering when there's a draft.

───────

(After Champions of the Just)

• Josephine: Are the templars satisfied with their accommodations?
• Cullen: How fancy do you think rooms were at the Circle?

───────

• Cullen: You seemed to enjoy yourself at the Winter Palace, Leliana, or was that part of The Game?
• Leliana: Perhaps it was both.

───────

• Josephine: The city has agreed to send us five dozen guardsmen.
• Cullen: Not raw recruits? Well, with luck they'll know which end to grip a sword by.

───────

• Josephine: A pity about Ser Michel.
• Cullen: Pity!? The circumstances surrounding his death are a stain on this Inquisition.
• Josephine: The situation is... complicated.

───────

• Josephine: I'm sorry about Natalie.
• Leliana: She bought in on herself.
• Josephine: Did you find what you wanted at Valence?
• Leliana: Yes, everything thanks to the Inquisitor.

───────

(If Loranil is recruited as an agent)

• Cullen: That Dalish elf who joined us is eager to say the least.
• Leliana: The Dalish possess great knowledge. We should be honored to have him with us.

───────

(If the Inquisitor did not romance Blackwall or Josephine)

• Leliana: You have an admirer.
• Josephine: Shh, *laughs* not now.

───────

• Cullen: Any new of rifts beyond the reach of the Inquisition?
• Leliana: Yes, and it is not good.

───────

• Josephine: Are you alright Leliana?
• Leliana: Are you?
• Josephine: I suppose not. Haven was trying.

───────

• Leliana: Letters are pouring in from all corners. Congratulations, pledges of loyalty, conversions to Andraste.
• Cullen: All premature until we deal with Corypheus.

───────

• Josephine: Have the supplies reached out people in the Arbor Wilds?
• Cullen: I made sure of it. Too many strange plants there. We don't need stomach cramps sweeping the army.

───────

• Leliana: Really, you did not notice?
• Josephine: I had no idea Lady Beverly was one of your people. You might have told me before I embarrassed myself.

───────

• Cullen: Anything yet?
• Leliana: It is difficult to know if the lyrium in Redcliffe came from Kirkwall. The herald only saw it in the future.

───────

• Leliana: Your soldiers seem energized lately, Commander.
• Cullen: Templars set high standards for discipline. They set our recruits a good example.

───────

• Josephine: I didn't even know Envy demons existed.
• Leliana: Nor I. Hiding in plain sight. Some must be impossible to find.
• Cullen: Not entirely. Envy is never satisfied with a single face for long.
  ───────
• Josephine: I found the money. The Inquisition will compensate the families of those we lost at Haven.
• Cullen: Thank you.

───────

• Cullen: We cannot neglect our soldiers' training.
• Josephine: Can we neglect roads? Our allies cannot take the same route through the mountains we did.

───────

(After In Your Heart Shall Burn)

• Cullen: If it was abandoned when we arrived, who named this place Skyhold?
• Josephine: Skyhold does seem more secure than Haven.
• Cullen: Only if we have the numbers to defend it.
• Leliana: Solas says it changed hands so many times, the original builders can't be traced.
• Josephine: I read the house of Armitage once built a fortress in the vicinity five ages ago, but the records are lost.

───────

• Cullen: Is all quiet in the Hissing Wastes?
• Leliana: Any remaining Venatori are stragglers. I imagine their failure has set heads rolling.

───────

• Josephine: I'm still surprised you put such effort into staffing a fortress in Crestwood, of all places.
• Leliana: The village has a strategic location, one that few would suspect us to hold so tightly.
• Cullen: A place like this serves no purpose without enough people to make the running worthwhile.

───────

• Leliana: It was interesting to see how much has changed in Halamshiral. And so little.
• Josephine: Madame Eprise is a fixture. The sun will grow cold before she retires.

───────

• Josephine: If you require any help finding this woman who leads the Venatori, I do keep contacts in Tevinter.
• Leliana: Thank you, but I must involve as few people as possible. Calpernia has a gift for ferreting out spies close to her door.

───────

• Josephine: (Hums.)
• Leliana: You're doing it again!
• Josephine: Oh! I do apologize.
• Cullen: Now that's going to be in my head all day.

───────

• Cullen: So, the Ben-Hassrath.
• Josephine: We will need to handle this... carefully.
• Leliana: I will.

───────

• Cullen: The darkspawn have been driven back on the Storm Coast.
• Leliana: Let us pray they do not return.

───────

• Josephine: Is Knight Captain Rylen satisfied with his post?
• Cullen: It's not an easy assignment, but if anyone can handle the Approach, it's him.

───────

• Leliana: Crestwood has had no further trouble with the undead.
• Cullen: After what happened, it will take time for the village to recover.
• Leliana: My scouts report no signs of danger in the pass nearby.
• Cullen: I will arrange patrols to ensure it stays that way.

───────

• Josephine: We've all seen the reports now, yes? Leliana - future Leliana - was frightening.
• Cullen: Wait. Is it... was frightening, or is frightening? Is going to be frightening?
• Leliana: I'm not her. I hope you all understand that.

───────

• Cullen: You read the report?
• Leliana: It was... unusual. Is he always so blunt?
• Cullen: (Chuckles.) Yes.

───────

• Josephine: I've arranged an accord between the Marquis and the Dowager.
• Leliana: Wonder of wonders. Perhaps they can be useful to us after all.

───────

• Cullen: The captain sent back sketches of the walls. Our experts say the look elven.
• Leliana: Interesting. Does Corypheus send scholars to find something the elves buried? Or something buried with them?

───────

• Leliana: I have not asked in a while; how goes the hunt for Samson?
• Cullen: We're close, I know it.
• Leliana: If I can help you any further...
• Cullen: Thank you. I appreciate it.

───────

• Josephine: You were saying something about... Cullen?
• Cullen: Hmm? I, ah- Yes. Haven has limited space for our soldiers to train. Perhaps we could set up something over here.

───────

• Josephine: Chancellor Roderick came to speak with me. Could you try not to antagonize him?
• Cullen: If I offend the man so easily, perhaps he should try leaving me alone.

───────

• Cullen: Has Cassandra spoken to you about my new recruits?
• Leliana: They are not your recruits, Commander. They are ours.

───────

• Josephine: We are garnering interest from the capital.
• Cullen: You're not pleased?
• Josephine: I am not convinced we are prepared for the full scrutiny of Val Royeaux.

───────

• Josephine: Have you kept in touch with our friends in Lady Esterly's estate?
• Leliana: Several bards will play for her tomorrow night. We will have names soon enough.

───────

• Leliana: I have something for you, Commander. The soldiers the Herald rescued from the Fallow Mire arrived an hour ago.
• Cullen: Thank the Maker. We need good news.

───────

• Leliana: Someone's turning into a bit of a dragon hunter, I've heard.

───────

• Leliana: How are the rescue efforts? Have they found anyone alive?
• Cullen: Excavation is slow, as you can imagine.

───────

(if Vivienne is made Divine)

• Cullen: Well...
• Leliana: Indeed.
• Cullen: The Chantry has yet to collapse on itself, that's something.
• Josephine: There will be guidance. No doubt Madame Vivienne will deliver edicts when she becomes Divine.
• Cullen: The people won't accept a mage.
• Leliana: We shall see.

───────

• Josephine: Any news on why Corypheus is sending people to explore elven ruins, of all things?
• Leliana: No. I suspect he keeps the reason secret, even from his inner circle.

───────

• Josephine: What have your ears heard, Leliana? Anything new we don't already know about?
• Leliana: No. Nothing. My scouts still comb the hills for clues about the explosion. I'll take what I can find.

───────

• Cullen: There's nothing to do with fairness. We simply can't accommodate them if they bring that many servants.
• Josephine: I will speak to the Duchess. She can be reasoned with, after a fashion.

───────

• Cullen: Master Dennet's horses are a fine addition to our stables. I will see they are well tended.

───────

• Cullen: Can you arrange what we discussed earlier, Ambassador?
• Josephine: Of course. Are you alright?
• Cullen: I'm fine.

───────

• Cullen: With rifts contained in the area, we can send in smaller groups to offer relief.
• Leliana: I agree. Are you well?
• Cullen: A headache, nothing more.

───────

• Leliana: How is Baron Edouard?
• Josephine: Cold, I imagine.
• Leliana: If the Red Lyrium continues to grow, the cold will be the least of his problems.

───────

• Leliana: Word is spreading that the Wardens were banished.
• Josephine: There have been murmurs, from some quarters. About what might happen if another blight comes.
• Leliana: (Sighs) What happened in Adamant is a shame.

───────

• Leliana: You're concerned.
• Cullen: The consequences of drinking from that Well... (Sighs.) Never mind.

───────

• Cullen: We'll post soldiers at a safe distance from the Temple.
• Leliana: Our best guess at "Safe" anyway.
