Well...maybe not illusions, per se, but we could still use magic without drawing attention to ourselves. [And Dorian gives Hawke a pointed look, because she has absolutely made fun of him in the past for it.] Necromancy can be a very convenient way to do this without attracting much notice. Just fill them with enough terror that they feel the urge to flee without really understanding why.

[Mages are tricksy bastards like that.]

If we don't have to fight, or leave behind a trail of bodies like bread crumbs, perhaps we should. I've a few confusion grenades if we need them that could make us less noticeable or cover our tracks.

[Because Dorian is all about avoiding injury if at all possible.]
