What if in Dragon Age Origins there was more than just one hero? The first battle against the Darkspawn was won and the king survived? This is all about new and different events that will cause a far different game.
You are one of many conscripted to undergo the rigorous trials of iniatoin into the ranks of the famous Grey Wardens as the threat of another Darkspawn invasion is imminent with the confirmation of a Archdemon made by the skilled and lucky scout, Reylan. His efforts allowed for the many races to prepare although the elves and dwarves believe that they will fare better to fight them on their own. King Cailan gathers his army with the new Grey Warden in hopes to quickly kill the Archdemon. Can you find glory in the midst of battle or will you fall as so many have before the evil Darkspawn?
Character Sheet: Name: Age: (Must be somewhat young) Race: (Elf, Human, Dwarf) Gender: Background: (High-class, middle-class, low-class)
There also may be a Darkspawn race when we get to the DLC parts and I am open for any suggestions but I am limiting the numbers of Grey Wardens to 10.
A few wolves emerge from the forest line, most of the animals having fled the approaching darkspawn forces. The Wolves charge the darkspawn however they are no match for the brutality of the darkspawn but take down quite a few attacking Feron but the rest of the darkspawn are surprised by the attack but quickly cut down the wolves. This creates a nice distraction and allows for a quick advantage allowing Alistair, Balgrin, Elissa, and V'las to cut threw a lot of darkspawn. Tiashi takes care of the majority of darkspawn archers. Kiviord and Lyali shoot at the darkspawn and lessen the numbers surrounding Feron and this gives him the chance to take care of the rest as the volley of arrows creates confusion among the darkspawn. Delinar sees that Lyali and Kiviord are handling it so he focues fire on the rest. Valtair and Satel are busy launching fireballs and casting other spells at the darkspawn. Feron fights dodging and blocking their blows with surprising speed and agility and as he stabs his sword into the last darkspawn and bashes it in the skull with his sword he gives a quick nod to Lyali and Kiviord. before returning to the battle. The darkspawn have stopped coming and now victory is yours with the majority of the darkspawn group dead or running. You have just earned a breather and the warriors including Tiash regroup with Lyali and Delinar with a Alistair sighing in relief with his ususal smile "That was really something. I see now why you were all recruited." he says catching his breath then waves his hand forward "Come on then. The darkspawn should be thinned out enough that this should be a nice peaceful walk." he says and Delinar turns and smiles at you "That was amazing Lyali, some of the best shooting I have ever seen. I'm glad you have my back out here." he says just as Feron approaches in his menacing armor "I agree. Your aim was very adequate." he says plainly but his eyes read "Thank you." even though his helmet shields his face.

"Thanks but my skill with a bow is only second to mine with a dagger." Lyali humbly says with a smile. She then looks to Kiiviord. "Good work and smart thinking with calling the animals."

Lyali smiled as she nodded to Kiviord's thanks and kept up with the group.
You begin to see old ruins jutting out of the swampy land indicating you are getting very close to the old grey warden outpost. The darkspawn has mostly fled the area and you have collected enough vials of blood for each of your party. It's when you pass a ancient row of arches that you see on top of a large hill the crumbling structure. "There it is. Be careful, there are more darkspawn at the tower." Alistair says. Ahead of you is a barricade most likely built by the darkspawn, which is covered in blood, that is blocking your path up to the ancient tower.

I put some oil on a arrow aim it set it on fire then shoot it towards the wooden parts.

Lyali tries to spot some of the darkspawn that are hiding in the area.
Kiviord's flaming arrow lands in the middle of the barriacade, sticking into one of the main beams of the barricade but it does not catch fire for a minute or so until finally it goes up in flames and this of course has alerted the Darkspawn who gather at barricade including a Hurlock covered in war paint carrying a wooden staff and a very large Hurlock with a horned helmet covered much of its face except its deranged eyes. Its armor also appears much heavier and it must be the commander as it seems to be giving orders to the other darkspawn. He charge through the center of the barricade, smashing a hole in it. He stares Alistair down and as the rest of the darkspawn gathered around this 'alpha', he commands them to charge then running shortly after the rest. Alistair, V'las, Elissa, Feron, and Balgrin takes positions in the front while Delinar hurries over to a raised rock and climbs on top to begin sniping off the gunlocks. The mages Valtair and Satel move right behind the warriors with staffs ready. Tiashi vanishes from sight maybe to get behind the darkspawn. They only have a few archers of their own but this darkspawn mage as well.

I attempt to summon the animals in the forest that are left and sneak around to the mage.

Lyali quickly found some high ground and started firing at the darkspawn. Her main target was the mage.
The darkspawn fail to notice Tiashi or Kiviord as they sneak around. Kiviord's summon manages to call only a few wolves but suddenly the trees around the battle begin to fall when charging through the trees comes a large brown bear. The bear grabs the attention of almost half of the darkspawn as they fight to take it down. Meanwhile as the hurlocks and gunlocks charge, Satel and Valtair shoot cones of fire at them, filling the air with the smell of cooked darkspawn. As soon as that is finished, the warriors charge the remaining darkspawn grunts. Delinar fires carefully, shooting a Hurlock in the back as it tries to attack Balgrin from behind. Tiashi by this time has taken care of the few archers the darkspawn had, smiling devilishly at her handiwork. It is then that the darkspawn alpha comes charging in but V'las manages to react just in time to defect what would have been a fatal blow but the alpha then strongly kicks him in the gut and his bones can be heard breaking as V'las lays on the ground gasping for air and coughing up a little blood. The other warriors move to save V'las but the darkspawn that were fighting the great bear had come and confronted them, the great bear now red surrounded by dozens of darkspawn. The wolves as well lie dead on the ground. The mage sees Tiashi and aims for her, casting bolts of magic that she desperately tries to dodge but that is when Lyali's arrow flies straight through the emissary's chest, wounding it great and causing it to take the time to heal itself. The alpha moves in for the kill, raising its great axe as V'las weakly raises his shield...

I make a run for the alpha and throw one of my short swords at the alpha.

Lyali fired at the mage again not wanting it to heal up and help the other darkspawn.
