[KAUAI]The Rod of Seven Parts: Of Hexes and Gems

[Voadam]

Voadam considers, scowling, then nods, lifting the short sword from his threatening stance. "Fine. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt then. But if I find out you lied and are demon sworn then know that I'll hunt you down like a mad dog. Go now and take your shadow from my sight. I have other work to attend to."

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Cheal is off like a shot, but casts a look of venom at Lewit and fear at Voadam on his way out the door.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Both thugs lie unconscious on the floor of the Cockatrice. Left behind by Cheal and Voadam in possession of their items, the two men are bruised and battered from an unfortunate meeting with the blunt end of Gamad's quarterstaff.

 

[Voadam]

Voadam refills the pitcher and steps up to the unconscious thug who wore the hook necklace. "Now for a quick confirmation." Once Voadam dashes the water into this man's face he doesn't let him stand up but let's him know his situation at swordpoint, then asks about what happened with Cheal, his knowledge of the wand, and the fish hook.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

The man who bore the fishhook pendant wakes when dashed with water. The tip of the sword held by Voadam inadvertantly nicks the thug in the shoulder as the man sputters and tries to sit. Finding himself in an untenable situation, and facing an angry Voadam and surrounded by other vehement characters, all of whom are armed, the thug lays back down on the floor. "Don't slit me throat!" The other of the pair of thugs lies unconscious on the floor.

We may rp this if you wish, but I don't mind dropping that the man is worried that Cheal isn't around, knows nothing of any wand, and doesn't even notice that his necklace is missing until Voadam brings it up. Feel free to ask him something specific, if you like.

"He's not with us anymore, I am. I've got some questions for you." Voadam questions him about why they were here (whether they planned to go after the wand before they came in or if Rancid's conversation caught Cheal's attention and they backed him up), the hook pendant, and how many men Cheal commands.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

"Cheal's got six. We're here ever'day." The thug looks around and, spotting Brakkus, points at Brakkus. "Seen that bloke nigh ever'day for the last months. He can say as much, if he cares to. Vaja lets us in, our book making rap's good for business. Folk come to wager and stay for a drink. I mostly run messages round the city. Couldn't say anything 'bout no wand. You mean like a wizard's wand? There was one here?" The man shrugs at Voadam's mention of his necklace. Putting a hand to his throat where the pendant used to hang on its cord, the thug says, "Me cousin give me that yahrs ago. Made it hisself, outta whale bone, he said. Said it'd protect me while I were running cherrywine down the coast." The thug eyes Lewit and Voadam. "Look, you lot seem like good folk. Like I said, I mostly just do the running about town for Cheal. E'en so, I don't think the employ's worth me skin. Lemme out and I won't come back, I swears it. I'll find new employ. Cheal ain't gonna be too happy with me for yakking."

 

[SlagMortar]

Brakkus nods at his words. "We should be moving on as well."

 

[BRP2]

When Cheal runs out Lewit looks around at his allies and says without sarcasm "What a nice fellow. I think we connected very well."

He is very passive with the rest of them. He only asks the newest interviewee his name and that he shouldn't leave Cheal's gang.

(OoC: Who is currently in the bar besides Voadam and Lewit, need a confirmation).

 

[Voadam]

Voadam tosses the second thug his necklace back then and nods for him to leave. He douses the third thug and tells him the Watch will be around shortly, if he wants to take off before they get here he'd better hurry. Once he's sure he's not leaving the owners with possibly dangerous thugs in their establishment he will go with the others.
