cyrano | Dragon Age--Trades (Reply)

Last session I traded in my dog for a crazy Joan of Arc. Today I traded crazy Joan for a homicidal murderer.
See, Leilana had this thing where she kept dashing off into the thick of combat and getting herself corpsified. I tinkered with her tactics, and I checked in with her frequently. The way to keep her alive was to ride shotgun constantly, which I wasn't prepared for just yet.
I finally figured out where the Chantry board missions were located, and that in fact I'd already completed one of them. Yay! And I explored camp and talked to *everybody* although Morrigan is still all frosty. I'd hoped that doing the one thing that she'd insisted we do (no, not throwing Alastair to the bears, finding a way to get Sten out of the cage) would make her a little happier. But if she was, it wasn't happier with me.
I think I'm ready to leave Lothing now.

EDIT Oh yeah, I also hit level seven (Why is everybody in the party a higher level than I? Even the *dog*!) and discovered that you have to do something *besides* hit level seven to take a prestige class.
