Aveline's good, but she can't block all the hits when the odds are twenty-to-five and the other side's got a handful of crafty rogues.
[Silly Anders, of course Hawke mostly hangs back and flings spells from afar, he's not that stupid, come on.

[And he does his best to mimic what Anders is doing. His father had attempted to train him in spirit magic, so he did know the basics; the gentle spells didn't come nearly as easily to him as the more destructive elemental and force spells did, and he hadn't ever been very interested in that particular school of magic, which hadn't helped.
He'd acquired some interest after meeting Anders, though; and while his first attempt at copying Anders' spell is kind of pitiful, there's definitely some warmth starting there. For once, Hawke is actually restraining himself. He's had one too many complaints from his friends about how his healing spells always hit like a ton of bricks, and really, they'll be perfectly fine until Anders can see to it, whatever it is, honest.]
