Finding herself alone except for a lone other patron, Tessa discovers the visitor is apparently searching for her and Marius. Marius passes out from exhaustion, and Tessa retreats to the tavern. After one particularly dangerous battle on a nearby farm, Marius and Tessa retreat to a village to recuperate. In the months following the breach, Marius and Tessa help fight off Demons spawning from the various Fade rifts while simultaneously attempting to evacuate as many civilians as possible. As they kill the last of the third group of assassins, who have tracked them all the way to the Frostback Mountains, the Breach opens up above them. Over the following months, Radonis sends several hit squads after them. As they argue over their course of action, Calpernia offers to use the Venatori to smuggle them out of Minrathous. She realizes that Marius will never complete the assassination, which will incur the Archon's wrath. They share a passionate kiss, which is interrupted by Tessa. As Marius is about to dispose of the final target, whom they have tracked to a bathhouse, he realizes that she is in fact his former lover, from the time when they were both slaves to Magister Erasthenes. Tessa kills the first target while Marius takes care of the second and third. They are given four targets, all powerful mages and leaders within the Venatori: Havian Sulara, Corinnia Crallius, Paulus Nimian, and Calpernia. She still suspects that Radonis will have them killed once all targets have been eliminated, to ensure that the assassinations cannot be traced back to him. Though Marius wishes to refuse despite the Archon's direct threats, Tessa convinces him to accept the contract to save their own lives. Radonis reveals that he wants to hire Marius and Tessa to assassinate members of the Venatori, a cult that seeks to restore the Imperium of old and therefore threatens his rule. Instead, they encounter Flavius, dozens of Tevinter soldiers, and Archon Radonis himself. Upon arrival, they find no trace of the children or the blood mages. They travel to the site of the ritual, some ruins in the Valarian Fields just north of Minrathous. Though he is not pleased at the idea of returning to Tevinter, where he was a slave himself, he accepts the offer. The Magister has learned of a group of blood mages who sacrifice children at the end of each month to fuel uniquely powerful blood magic rituals and pleads for Marius' help in taking them down. The elf introduces himself as Flavius, a slave in the service of Magister Illeneva. She returns to Marius, who is recuperating from the previous' nights injuries in an inn, cheerfully announcing her tail before turning to confront her pursuer with a loaded crossbow. The next day, after having safely returned Buckingham home, Tessa notices that she is being followed. While Marius battles the mage, and the arcane horror she later turns into, Tessa frees the hostage, a young man named Buckingham. They have been hired to deal with a maleficar in the Marcher settlement of Hercinia. Tessa and Marius are mercenary partners who specialize in killing mages, especially blood mages who use their power to hurt others. The plot follows BioWare's own canon, meaning it may not follow some of the player's choices in the games.
