Varric and Isabela retreat into the Silent Grove and find Yavana again, seeking assistance. They offer to strike a bargain for her help - which Yavana takes up, without setting the terms and conditions (as cryptic as ever - seems like a condition of being a witch).
At Claudio's camp, he reveals that he fed Alistair information in order to get the king to inadvertently lead the Crows to the Silent Grove. Maric had apparently been more difficult to manipulate, and Claudio hopes that Alistair will be more cooperative.
Suddenly, Isabela and Varric ambush the camp. Isabela faces off against Claudio, who is revealed to have been her abusive late husband's business partner. Claudio had loved Luis like a brother, and sneers at Isabela for pretending to be meek and obliging and then refusing to 'entertain' her husband's guests. Isabela says she has changed a lot since then, and then thrusts her blade through his heart.
Alistair is distraught - Claudio had had answers about Maric after all. However, Yavana shows up, stating that 'the truth is never out of reach'.
