Memory - Yavana raises the dead for some questions

Isabela and Varric just saved King Alistair from Antivan assassins in a swamp. Isabela has just killed their boss, and been chided for killing him when Alistair wanted information. Swamp witch Yavana reveals herself claiming it's never too late. Varric's coming back from killing the Antivan extras. He's not going to play games of Chase the Dwarf anymore; he's useful for more than luring away guards while everything memorable happens someplace else you know. Isabela tells him he's just in time -- they're apparently going to have the opportunity to ask Claudio how it feels to be stabbed in the chest.

Yavana reanimates Claudio's body. She demands to know Claudio's master, and he says he cannot reveal it. She badgers him; he says "Aurelian Titus," and his body bursts into flame. The rogues are kind of disturbed; Alistair just figures out that Yavana initially turned them away so the party would draw out Titus' servants, a chance to try tracking him down. The party consults, and concludes between testing or screwing with Alistair, she was just screwing with him -- Alistair says he never passes tests. They go back to the grove, where Yavana leads Alistair away from the rest, forbidding the others to follow.

Yavana takes Alistair away for a few minutes and there are things with a dragon that the rogues don't get to be around for. Alistair comes back alone after having run her through. Time to go rescue Alistair's dad.

Isabela: I should ask for a second ship. Or a title. You DO intend to pay us to stick around...?
Alistair: Let me see what's left in the treasury.
