Helping Bull

Today, you find yourself handling a peculiar request from Bull. One day, he suddenly said to you: "Hey boss, need your help to dismantle a red lyrium smuggling operation in the Storm Coast. My comrades in the Ben-Hassrath informed me of this."

"Alright, I can help you with that," You replied to him, "As long as it stops the Venatori from getting anymore. But what's the catch on this one?"

"Don't worry Boss, the Qun were well informed of your craving for women and they promise to send some of the finest Qunari specimens after we finish this request. Never say that the Qun back down on their promises," He said confidently.

And so, here you are standing on the freezing hill of the Storm Coast, subject to constant snows and rains year-round. For this mission you gather help from Sera and her friends, along with Dorian and a handful of inquisition soldiers. You have them scout the Storm Coast to check for any traps and ambushes and secure it for when the Qun representatives arrive.

Meanwhile, Bull already had his Chargers with him and helping the Inquisition soldiers, leaving you only the need to meet with a Qun's agent stationed there, an Elven man named Gatt.

"Ah, this must be the famous Inquisitor Hissrad's been reporting about. It's a pleasure to meet you, Inquisitor; Hissrad's reports say you're doing good work more than the previous one," He said with a bow.

"Likewise for helping us whenever your people can, Hurim," You said, "Now let's get down to business; what is the plan?"

"Straight to the point, I see," Said Gatt, "Very well, here's the situation; the Venatori's shipment of red lyrium is about to arrive in a few minutes. I need people to take care of the watchpoint over there and silence the garrison, so the Dreadnought can catch them unawares.

He pointed towards a lone spot on the nearby hill, bearing a single beacon you surmised was used to guide in the Venatori ships to the shoreline.

"Bull, can you take care of that?" You asked, "I suspect it won't be an easy fight, however."

"Don't sell them short; they'll be able to take over that watchpoint," He said.

"Alright, but take a few more men with you just in case. Sera, take the archers and wait in the treeline. Dorian, Bull and the rest of you are with me," You ordered, "They're on the defensive and this is a massive shipment, so make sure you watch yourselves!"

"Aye!" They chorused.

"Then I wish you all good luck," You said, "Charge!"

As if a signal had gone off, Bull and his Chargers were first up the hill, smashing into the Vematori garrison like a sledgehammer as befitting of their namesake. Not more than minutes later, and they send the signal of their capture of the watchpoint. With their comrades silenced, the Venatori ships are smashed apart by surprise as the Qunari Dreadnought opens fire, their wooden hulls crumbling under the power of iron shot and blackpowder.

The Red Templars on the ground are alerted too late and taken completely by surprise, and panic start to engulf their ranks as they struggle to mount a counterattack.

"Shit, where are they attacking from!?"

"The ships are on fire! We have to stop that Dreadnought!"

"Where's the signal flare when we need it!?"

Let it never be said, however, that the Venatori are fools; every faction, no matter their alignment, has their own fair share of talented and sharp officers, and the Venatori commanding officer quickly pointed towards the watchpoint where Bull's Chargers were occupying.

"Looks like we've been exposed," You said, "Signal Sera to start the attack first and divert their attention."

Once the signal was relayed, hails of arrows peppered the Venatori down below like porcupines, and many died in the opening salvos. Several Venatori magi cast protective spells to shield their soldiers as some of their archers returned fire. With the forest providing cover and protection, however, they could not pinpoint Sera's forces as their shots went wide, and the magi themselves had their hands full in maintaining the barrier.

"Hehehe! You smart-asses can't shoot a coin in the air!" Sera taunted, causing some Venatori to froth at the mouth in irritation.

With the Venatori distracted, you ordered another signal sent to Bull's Chargers to run down the hill and engage them as well, catching them in a pincer movement that locked down their movements. Swords clashed against one another, arrow flying everywhere and heads rolled on the ground in a cacophony of chaos and bloodshed in the ensuing brutal melee that followed.

The Venatori, on the other hand, put up a savage and ferocious fight despite being outnumbered, but they were losing momentum. In no time at all, the Venatori were cut down to the last man and no survivors remained in the aftermath, with few casualties to your own men. After a brief moment of respite, your soldiers begin to secure the area and confiscate any useful information they could find from Venatori records and hidden caches.

Apart from smuggler contacts, though, they could find little else of worth.

"That's the last of them. Daresay they'll think twice before doing something like this again," Bull said.

"And I have to say, not only did we suffer few losses, we even managed to eliminate an entire regiment's worth of Venatori troops in the area and severely hampered their Red Lyrium smuggling operations," Said Gatt, "We'll definitely have to fight them again, but thanks to the contacts you retrieved we should have an easier time eliminating them. Thank you very much for your help today, Inquisitor."

"No need to mention it," You said, "Though if I'm honest..."

You quickly lean in and whisper into Gatt's ear, "How are Qunari women in bed?"

With a mischievous smile, the Elf said, "Oh I'm telling you, they're far better than most here in Thedas. Spend time with one, and you'll hardly ever be satisfied with women from other races the rest of your life."

"Really, now?" You said.

"Oh yes," Said Gatt, "Married one myself, and I don't think I can satisfy myself with Elven pussy ever again; I heard they have ways of making our cocks as massive as that of their males."

Hearing how satisfied Dorian was with Iron Bull, though, you weren't surprised.

"I'll be eagerly awaiting my reward," You said with a wink.

"Look forward to it," Gatt replied.

With all tasks done for the night, you retired to your tent and collapsed onto your bed roll, though not before having a round of raunchy sex with some of the female Inquisition soldiers.
