Persuaded by Leliana's distress and fear for her, Marjolaine agrees to return to the palace and retrieve the document, foiling the mission. That night they return, with difficulty, to make it right. Once the document is stolen back, Leliana and her companions make with difficulty for their intended meeting place with Marjolaine. However, Sketch and Tug are assailed by guards and Leliana is is betrayed by her bardmaster: stabbed and left to the mercy of Commander Raleigh, who has no love of Orlais.Īfter days of torture and terrible abuse at the hands of Raleigh's men, Leliana is roused from her cell in the Arl of Denerim's dungeon by a mysterious voice urging her to keep fighting and to let the need of those who cannot fight be her strength. Leliana reluctantly follows this advice, taking the items left for her, and begins searching for her companions. She finds Sketch, and a Ferelden trapped in the dungeon for poaching named Silas Corthwaite. Unfortunately Leliana is too late to save her friend Tug, who has been slain by the Raleigh's men while attempting to protect Sketch. Taking his weapon, Tug's Edge, Leliana-with a heavy heart-continues on with Silas and Sketch to escape her prison. There she has many opportunities to free innocents from their own torture, including the city elf Warden's mother, Adaia Tabris.
