As Orchid reached for the goblet of the man chatting with them, Krets slammed his hand on top of it, forcing the half-orc to contest him for the ownership of said water if he really wanted to get into it. Which, in the investigator's honest opinion, would be nothing but a mistake. But since the green brute did not seem to relent, Krets eventually made the decision to be the civilised half here and snorted disapprovingly as the interrogatee did as he pleased. At least they gave an answer to the question before vacating the table, leaving the old druid and the investigator alone for the time being. Krets waved the cult member attending to their needs back to the table and requested another water for himself and began lighting up his pipe again. Why did all of these newcomers do their best to get on his nerves?

Torag's story, on the other hand, had strictly nothing to do with the question asked. It told something about the man's supposed motivations, that it did. But it did not exactly convince Krets of the devotion of this man. It was as if he was trying to ram it down his throat. Granted, that was this camp all together and many of those who interacted with him, trying to impress him. Krets liked the cult leadership for this reason: They didn't do shit like this. He drew in a deep breath from his pipe and breathed out slowly, letting the fumes tint the air before his visage just slightly. The new water arrived just in time for the toast, to which he would nonetheless join. "And for the hoard to befit the Queen's return", he added, holding his pipe on the side as he drank.

Well, he was rather sure of the results he had by now. He stayed for a while longer, long enough for Orchid to return and catch Krets and Torag exchanging a few pleasantries before he would be given the stink eye and Krets would excuse himself, to head to Tiamat only knows where next. The party was left alone for a few hours now though. Long enough for the sun to settle beyond the natural walls of the camp.

For better or worse, you are freed of active pestering by Krets, the investigator. Please detail your chosen actions for the time to come. If waiting for nightfall to free the Monk you came here for was the plan, assume that we will move on to the realisation of that plan by my next post. You are welcome to do multiple posts if you want to interact with one another, as I will check with everyone before we move on. Unless we hit the day limit, of course.
