Find Source of Darkspawn Attacks

Find Source of Darkspawn Attacks is a war table operation in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Acquisition[]

Available after completing war table operation Protect Val Gamord from Darkspawn.

Note: The decisions the Inquisitor makes, as they progress through this series of five war table operations, will affect the number of Grey Wardens at their disposal. After each operation, the results text stated in the series will change to reflect the Inquisitor's deployment decisions and the status of the remaining Grey Warden forces (which determines how many subsequent operations can still be unlocked and "potentially" completed).

Operation text[]

Inquisitor,
The darkspawn at Val Gamord have been slain, but it remains unclear what brought these creatures to the surface. There is no obvious sign, and I am concerned that they might still pose a danger. Marquise Bouffon has made clear her wishes that we now depart, which leaves me even more suspicious, as most would welcome further help in these dangerous times.
The Grey Wardens have volunteered to assist with the investigation of this mystery in whatever capacity the Inquisition deems most fitting. We await your orders.
Yours,
Lieutenant Suzanne Cloche-sec

Someone may have been mining the area and freed the darkspawn that way. Let me examine the finances of nobles nearby.

Leliana - 0:15:00[]

The blight is many things, but it is not subtle. My scouts can easily track the corruption to its source.

Cullen - 0:12:00[]

Let the Wardens spread out scour the area. They'll find out where those darkspawn are coming from soon enough.

Results[]

The following results text will vary based on prior decisions made in related operations.

Josephine[]

Inquisitor,
Ambassador Montilyet's advice was sound. We discovered that Marquise Effiloche Bouffon has been mining the area illegally, which freed the darkspawn from beneath the earth. When discovered, the Marquise attacked us with mercenaries. The Grey Wardens fought off the ambush. Marquise Bouffon has fled into the Gamordan Peaks.
The Grey Wardens have taken losses, but their morale remains high, and their loyalty to the Inquisition is undisputed.
Yours,
Lieutenant Suzanne Cloche-sec

Leliana[]

Inquisitor,
Sister Leliana's advice was excellent. Her scouts located a mining operation Marquise Bouffon had started in secret, which must have freed the darkspawn from beneath the earth. When discovered, the marquise sent mercenaries to attack, but the Grey Wardens were well prepared and easily cut down all resistance. Marquise Bouffon has fled into the Gamordan Peaks.
The Grey Wardens remain in high spirits. They seem proud of this opportunity to redeem their name in good faith, and losses so far have been light. It is an honor to fight beside them.
Yours,
Lieutenant Suzanne Cloche-sec

Cullen[]

Inquisitor,
The Grey Wardens scoured the area as requested. Unfortunately, this left them unprepared when mercenaries working for Marquise Effiloche Bouffon attacked by surprise. It appears that Marquise Bouffon has been mining the area in violation of local treaties, which accidentally freed the Darkspawn from beneath the earth. Marquise Bouffon has fled into the Gamordan Peaks.
The Grey Wardens have taken losses, but their morale remains high, and their loyalty to the Inquisition is undisputed.
Yours,
Lieutenant Suzanne Cloche-sec
