Intervention: Session 8

In Session 8, the Heroes return to Kirkwall and get to know their new party members.

Plot
Free from Uldred's control, Liam reluctantly follows the Heroes.

The Heroes make their way down to the basement. There, they find red lyrium as well as dragon's blood, which Delwyn promptly takes. While there, Gwenhaël and Delwyn destroy the phylacteries in storage.

Back on the Tempest Dream, Radford succumbs to the pox. Gwenhaël describes his vision in the Fade of Evelyne and the purple smoke to the others. Delwyn suggests they make their way to Redcliffe to investigate at the next opportunity.

Lyeldan and Maelstrom discuss their strange circumstances, agreeing that they are likely related. Maelstrom opens up to him about her past and how the crew of the ship came to be.

Maximilian checks in briefly with Jodie, making sure she is comfortable on the ship. Afterwords, Gwenhaël and Jodie catch up. She tells him about her unpleasant experience with Dominique and the child that resulted. After the Circle sent the child away, Jodie left the White Spire.

Delwyn confronts Liam and the two argue about their choices of freedom and ideals.

The next day, Naythen recognizes Archer, but Archer leaves the room in shock.

Once in Kirkwall, Maximilian receives a heartwood shield, Honor's Call, from Wade. Wade begins working on drake scale equipment for the group.

Knowing that Gwenhaël and Jodie were good friends from before, Maximilian awkwardly asks him how he should approach her. Plimm is more helpful in suggesting breakfast. Delwyn then asks Maximilian for advice with the captain. He suggests a plaque for the crew to commemorate Radford.

Jodie and Naythen visit the latter's uncle in the alienage. Gwenhaël joins them and learn that the two have made their living as demon slayers for the past 20 years. Also there is Liam. Lyeldan spots him and the two bond somewhat over their shared faith.
