Received from: reading the message on the Chanter's Board [Hightown - Order Courtyard]
To activate the quest you have to enter an interaction with the Chanter's Board which can be found at the yard of the Order in Hightown #1 (M3, 17). Read the message titled Sketchy on the Details #2 and click on Accept to start the task and eliminate the assassins hunting a Mage.
To find the first group of assassins go at night to localization Hightown - The Square in Hightown. You will meet your enemies near the stairs leading to the Viscount's Keep #1 (M4, 10). Watch out because in this area there are many group of hostile sisters, not connected to this quest. Start attacking the avengers from Denerim, attack the archers first #2.
No go to the localization [Lowtown]. Head towards the elf meeting ground and by the stairs leading to this place you will be attacked by antivian assassins #1 (M12, 17). There won't be many of them but I suggest to be careful as they are good at attacking by surprise #2.
The next destination is [Executioner's Room]. Check the southern-eastern part of the yard and you will come across an elf running away from Qunari death troop #1 (M33, 9). You don't have mind her safety, just start attacking hostile troops #2. As Qunaris are very resistant it is worth attacking them one by one.
Now head to [Darktown]. Go to the south part of the area #1. Here you will be attacked by bandits from Carta (M23, 10). Be careful because among them there is assassin from Carta #2. He can attack by surprise so it is crucial to kill him fast.
At the very end head to the localization at night [Lowtown - The Hanged Man]. Check the main corridor in the western part of the inn (M16, 6). Here you will also meet a female elf running away from bandits #1. Start attacking legendary beards from Rivaini #2. You have to be careful again because you will fight with the assassin. After winning the battle you will get information in character's notebook stating you know the localization of Sketch's hiding place.
At night you can go to the localization [Docks] and head towards the western area of warehouses #1. Sketch is in the same place where Mrs Selby was during the day #2 (M20, 11). Talk to him for a while and you will get a reward of double Sketch's stick.
