The Scouting Division encompasses traditional scouting, tracking, and reconnaissance work, along with more espionage-focused tasks like surveillance, intelligence-gathering, and cryptography. Their overarching goal is make sure that whatever the Inquisition wants to do next, they have the information they need to pursue it as efficiently, safely, and successfully as possible.

SUBJECT: salt the earth
PARTICIPANTS: legolas, yngvi
DATE FILED: minutes before any ic deadline if there is one
STATUS: complete?
SUMMARY: Legolas and Yngvi travel to the warfront, going behind enemy lines to a section of forest that has been reported to have a great deal of wildlife and medicinal herbs. They are tasked with removing both from the area via any means possible but run into a Snag.

REPORT:

[in exactly neat and perfunctory handwriting with a hint of a scrawl that comes from someone who just Doesn't Write A Lot. makes you wonder how many poor sheets of paper were wasted getting to this point.]

To Scoutmaster Beleth of Clan Ashara,

Master Yngvi and I have returned from our task, though I do not deign to call it grand success.

We have interfered with their goods; beasts and creatures of all usually edible manner have been driven out. I have sent what I could to the front of our own forces, assuming they remember what I have said about where to go. The druffalo with elfroot tied to his back is especially sweet in temperament (for a druffalo, I hear!) and would make a good draft creature, I think. I do not know much of the matter of farming. He will be good for eating, in any case.

Yngvi has pointed out many of the medicinal herbs I am unfamiliar with; we have brought back those as well, and sent to the front what his beast of burden could not carry. I hope that they will be of much use, I hear they are used to make tinctures and potions.

Unfortunately we were only able to cover half of the ground (it is a lot of ground! But, it did make for a very pleasant walk, or several walks, if one's walk generally includes chasing off indigenous wildlife and ravaging the land) before we were spotted, which I believe is very unobservant of them, but I suppose that is the way of the Mannish folk. We should maintain an increased watch of our own supplies, lest the same happen to us (and that would be very, very embarrassing, I think). Being that we were but two people and a magnificent steed, a confrontation would have been sorely unwise, and we were forced to let the matter be as it was.

I pray that this is sufficient for the purposes of the task, and I regret that we were not able to do more damage, short of burning it all down. I am not very fond of grand fires.

With Respects,
Legolas Greenleaf of Mirkwood

P.S. I have attached flowers. I think they smell lovely. I do not know what they are or if they are dangerous, but if you have not heard news of my illness by the time this report is received, I believe they should be harmless (perhaps! I do not know how the constitution is of elves of this land compared to my own).

They taste of redberries.

NOTES & LINKS: log. attached to the report is a sprig of flowers, unnamed, because i don't know dragon age flowers. he ate some.

SUBJECT: N/A
PARTICIPANTS: Hanzo, Benedict, Helena, Kostos
DATE FILED: Post-Battle
STATUS: Complete
SUMMARY: Shimada Venatori approached Kirkwall with the intention of assassinating Hanzo Shimada. They were apprehended.

REPORT:

Scoutmaster.

Venatori assassins were on the outskirts of Kirkwall. They came while a scouting party was investigating the area around the city as part of scheduled routines. They came because they wished to carry out an assassination on Hanzo Shimada, myself, former Magister of the Shimada household.

It has been revealed to members of my projects that I held a position in Tevinter before my arrival. I was the leader of the Shimada family before their involvement in the Venatori and their alliances with Corypheus. I am the former Magister, but I left my post ten years before now. That is the reason why the Venatori decided to send assassins for me: with my return to Tevinter rumoured due to my visit to Minrathous they fear that I might return and take control of the family. There are many that would follow me still due to my blood connection and the lack of viable heir.

Myself, Benedict Artemaeus, Kostos Averesch and Helena were apprehended outside Kirkwall. Two Venatori agents were taken down. Some information was gathered about Tevinter, but nothing that we did not already know. I will pass on that information to the Scoutmaster personally.

If there are any further queries on the matter I am able to discuss them. I will accept any punishment for the delay in informing the Inquisition about my true heritage and my connection to Tevinter. Please consider this document an official report on both my position and the assassination attempt.
