Re: Sutherland and Company Missing mission not popping up on war table
Unfortunately you can do too much in the Storm Coast zone and it results in them dying. I believe the issue arises in that after rat shows up, Sutherland is now in trouble and the next time you go to the Storm Coast you have to rescue them. It is an actual quest you get when going to the Storm Coast, not an operation. Your group must physically go to them and save them.
However, if you talk to Iron Bull and his personal quest to help the Qunari is initiated, then the next time you go to the Storm Coast you MUST do Bull's quest. This means by the game's logic you went to the Storm Coast and ignored Sutherland and returned to Skyhold, leaving him to die. So you have to do the Sutherland quest before Bull, and for many people these quests tend to pop up around the same time.
