Message: <blockquote data-quote="Voadam" data-source="post: 3345082" data-attributes="member: 2209">Upon seeing Forsythe move to flee Voadam does take a step to stop the unfortunate excuse for a man, but Arquesta's words draw him short before he shouts to the others. Forsythe could be telling the whole truth and this woman simply knows more about the situation. She could be a gypsy as he has known them and she has the Touch. It has been many worlds since he last heard the term gypsy though.Or Forsythe could be lying and this woman is an accomplice of some sort detaining Voadam to buy Forsythe an opportunity to escape. In any case Voadam figures that though it would be work, Forsythe could be tracked down again if need be (Voadam is kicking himself for not gathering some of the man's blood for later scrying purposes though), but the woman's statement "I am the one you want." is worth investigating while she is at hand and willing to engage."Indeed?" he says giving her his full attention. When she agrees to the meal he smiles broadly "Wonderful."  Voadam returns the smile and walks with Arquesta "The Copper Coin will do fine. And I am happy to provide for your retinue as well. Do they call young rats children here? I heard the term pups before but I'm no druid and have little experience with them outside of my time aboard ships."Voadam thinks that if she is a demon cultist distracting for Forsythe and attempting to lure him into a trap, it is better to use the ambush to find out about the other cultists. The paladin should be able to detect evil and Voadam expects the others to be up to a cult ambush. Voadam will not bring up the wand as they walk, though he will take note of the area Forsythe mentioned healing on her. He does ask friendly interested questions about her and her rats, though he is content to let the conversation focus on the rats or drift into general pleasant conversation. He will use wild empathy to be friendly/nonthreatening with the rats and knowledge nature in casually examining them to try and determine if they are normal rats or something more (druid animal companions, polymorphed people, etc.)He figures that even if this is an ambush he can at least enjoy a pleasant conversation with the attractive woman before she betrays him.Voadam orders a full meal of either some roast beast, local seafood, or wildfowl, depending on the menu and offerings. Voadam is mostly content to watch her interaction, wondering what she would be hiding and why she turned to the non-humans. Wererat? Without any silver weapons or significant magic among the party that Voadam knows about that would be an issue if this did turn to an ambush."Is there a need for them to hide from the guard? I am new to the city and not yet familiar with its politics. Is there a war between humans and either of their races?"</blockquote>
