Dragon Age 2: Act 2: Ser Varnell patch 1.03: Nightmare Level Mage.

Still no sign of his Mummy, he's all alone facing a different kind of woman and its not looking good for Varnell..
Post patch 1.03, With Upgraded Chain Lightning now being all but redundant following the nerf to warriors Stagger capability and mobs being generally stronger and dealing more damage, Chain lighting was dropped entirely from Hawkes abilities, some Haste was required instead.
Once Hawke returned to the mansion, Oddjob was denied his evening bone, biting Avelines butt during combat was not proper proceedure.
The accompanying music got faster too.
As ever no Blood Magic was involved in this production.
