- - - - "What does it take to become an assassin?"
        
        "Well, the Crows would have you believe that it is an involved process that takes years of training, the sort that tests both your resolve and your endurance. Survive that process and maybe, just maybe, you're good enough to start being consiered one of them. But quite frankly the truth is that all it requires is a desire to kill people for a living. It's surprising how well one can do in such a field."
        
        "So you have to be a murderer." (-5)
        
        "It doesn't take any special skill?
        
        "You did quite well, no doubt." (+2)
        
        "Within the Crows, I did. But it has been something the Crows have devoted a great deal of time to perfecting. An assassin simply specializes in striking from stealth... and in maximizing that first attack to be as lethal as possible. Debilitate your foe, either by poison or by crippling their limbs, makes any follow-up combat you need to engage in that much simpler."
        
        "That sounds like it could be useful."
        
        "See? Getting paid for the act is beside the point. An assassin is more a tactical choice than a lifestyle. Of course, the Crows like to pretend that their abilities are trade secrets, shrouded in shadows and wrapped in a blanket of mystery. So let's just keep this between you and me, shall we, hmm?" (end)
        
        "I'd prefer a straight up battle."
        
        "You always use poison, then?"
      - "Why did you want to leave the Crows, exactly?"
        
        "Well, now, I imagine that's a very fair question. Being an assassin, after all, is a living, at least as far as such things go. I was simply never given the opportunity to choose another way. So if that choice presents itself, why should I not seize upon it?"
        
        "So... you're simply bored?" (-4)
        
        You didn't choose to join the Crows?" (-1)
        
        "Mm? To be truthful, I didn't even know the Crows existed when I joined them. I was but a boy of seven when I was purchased. For three sovereigns, I'm told. Which as a good price, considering I was all ribs and bone and didn't know the pommel of a dagger from the pointy end."
        
        "But what would you rather do?" (+2)
        
        "The Crows buy all their assassins that way. Buy them young, raise them to know nothing else but murder. And if you do poorly in your training, you die."
        
        "That sounds awful. (+2)
        
        So you had a hard life. Big deal. (-5)

        "Oh? You wish to know about Antiva, do you? The only way to truly appreciate it would be to go there. It is a warm place, not cold and harsh like this Ferelden. In Antiva it rains often, but the flowers are always in bloom... or so the saying goes."
        
        "And it has assassins."
        
        "Every land has its assassins. Some are simply more open about their business than others."

      - "Do you actually enjoy being an assassin?" (unlocks after first three conversations have taken place including "Can you teach others to be an assassin?")
        
        "And why not? There are many things to enjoy about being a Crow in Antiva. You are respected. You are feared. The authorities go out of their way to overlook your trespasses. Even the rewards are nothing to turn your nose up at. As for the killing part, well... some people simply need assassinating. Or do you disagree?"
        
        "You've never killed an innocent?"
        
        "That sounds like an excuse." (-2)
        
        "That's a very practical attitude."
        
        "That's despicable! You're a murderer." (-5)
        
        "I suppose that's true." (-2)
        
        "I disagree completely. (-7)

        "The darkspawn are monsters."
        
        "Of course they have."
        
        "No, you're probably right."
        
        "I often find myself the instrument of fate, ending these lives for one necessity or another. I console myself with the notion that most of them had it coming. As far as enjoying the act of killing itself, why not? There is a certain artistry to the deed, the pleasure of sinking your blade into their flesh and knowing that their life is in your hands."
        
        "I take no pleasure in killing." (-2)
        
        "I enjoy violence, myself. (+3)

        "I know what you mean." (+3)
        
        "There are many things I did not enjoy about being a Crow, of course. Having no choice, being treated as an expendable commodity, the rules... oh so many rules! But simply being an assassin? I like it just fine. I will continue to do it, if I can, even if I am not a Crow. Honestly, could you picture me doing something else?"

My second mission ever for the Crows was a bit intriguing. I was sent to kill a mage who had been meddling in politics."
        
        "The Crows were willing to anger the Circle of Magi?"
        
        "In Antiva nobody is too important to escape the reach of the Crows. They have killed kings and queens. That is simply how it is. As it turned out, the mage in question was quite a delightful young woman. Long divine legs, as I recall. I caught her in a carriage on her way to escape to the provinces." After I killed her guard, she got down on her hands and knees and begged for her life... rather aptly, I might add. So I joined her in the carriage for the night and left the next morning."
