ooc: for those whom I have not previously messaged, you can tell nothing different about Trapp's demeanor, other than he still seems a bit skeptical of the conversation he is having.
Trapp's eyes narrow as he looks at the Warlock critically. "You are quite the fool, to name certain names in the middle of the street. At any rate, it is no business of yours with whom I meet. If you must, tell your "bigwigs" that I remain loyal. And try my patience no further."
Dekket decides to try it himself, trying not to lose him.
"Now now... let's calm a little bit, shall we? " he says smiling and doing a little reverence as salutation to Trapp " My collegae here maybe it's a little bit... blunt and... indiscreet, but he just wanted to probe to you that we are in the same boat. I think that you misunderstood him. You are meeting us. We have been sent to recover whatever information you have for our mutual pratons. The streets have so many eyes as someone of your intelligence sure knows, and they cannot risk to come themselves, so that leaves us, the weekest link in the chain, so to speak, to come here and talk to you. So why don't do this quick and discrete? Give me the information and you we all could be paid as promised."
( Persuasion?: ( Don't F*** me Gil... ) 17
Deception? : If you want to use the same roll as above just subtract 2 from it. If you want a separate roll: 19)
Jun is waiting patiently from the shadows to see how this plays out.

"Oh come on...do you really think they told us all that what's happening? And frankly, I don't want to know. If you don't know it, you don't have to lie about it. "he approaches Trapp in a confident way and lowers a little bit his voice, beign very close to him " but let me tell you a little secret. I overheard a conversation and it seems that Dalakar's was compromised so they needed us to come meet you. I am not sure where the gnome is, but I believe he is in big trouble. Better to make this quick and continue with our lives until we received further instructions from the bosses.. " he says with a wink and extennding his hand for Trapp to give him the information.
( I am using the information we gathered from the real note, wich was written by someone named Dalakar and the imp told us he was a gnome. If I misunderstood the imp then Dekket will not use "the gnome" but "he" in the above sentence.
Also... I need a magic object that cast enhance ability to CHA, to get advantage on this kind of rolls ;)
Deception: 6 If it persuasion just add 2 to the roll )
"I will tell Farnok where the gnome is. Not you." Trapp does not drop into combat, but his stance gets more defensive. "One more chance, if you do wish to 'continue with your lives'."
"What are you talking about??! What do you want? to get us all "he points him, the elf and himself " in big trouble? Listen " Dekket sighs and speaks to him a little bit slower " I know you got your orders, but we got ours now, and we are telling you what your new orders are. Now, I can see why they trust you, you are stubborn and loyal, two qualities I can tell you our employers value, and you have my word that they will knew about it. Now, what we can do to prove you that we are your contact? Come on, don't be shy... we must hurry before attracting attention..."
(Deception: 12 If persuasion just add 2 to the result)
Tensions are running high enough here that I am declaring initiative. This does not necessarily mean combat, in case somebody still wants to try another way, but it does mean aggressive actions are going to go in order. (Orynn did declare something, so, if Trapp does make the first move, that readied action will go off, and Jun, at least as far as he knows, is still hidden.)
Initiative Rolls:
Valas Trapp: 13
Cassie: 21
Dekket: 13
Jun: 21
Orynn: 11
Arvel: 9
Also, keep in mind that even if you are not aware in character of the specific spells, you do know from tonight that Trapp has countered one spell of your, and summoned and bound a devil, both of which are powerful abilities.)
Hope those of you in USA had a happy Thanksgiving weekend! If there is no further talking by tonight I will start calling for further talking or other actions in initiative order.
OOC: Still here, just been a busy week for multiple reasons. Unfortunately I don't have time for a lengthy post right now, as I have to head off for work. Just assume that Cassie is starting to get really nervous about this guy, especially after seeing him counterspell Arvel's attempt to charm him.
Trapp looks back and forth between the people who have accosted him in this alley, and says "I have had enough of this nonsense." He does not run, but he begins walking again towards the corner, and around the alley to where you had seen earlier, where he presumably knows the original meeting was scheduled.
OOC: Since he did not run, I am not taking this as triggering your readied action, but he is also still right there with you, for the time being, simply attempting to walk past you.

“C’mon buddy” says Dekket moving himself to put in Trapp’s way, not meneancing him but definitely in his way “ There’s no need for this. You don’t want them to think that you have betrayed them, don’t you? They aren’t the kind of people that you want angry against you... “
The mouse conductor smiles and says "No. No, they are not. You...in fact all of you...are welcome to accompany me to Farnok, where we can all see for ourselves." He drops his arm in an unmistakeable "after you" gesture.
Cursing his bad luck Dekket smiles back to the mouse trainer and starts to walk in front of him, trying to think fast and ready to act if the rest of his companions decide to follow other way to obtain the information from Trapp.

"The meeting place is not this alley. Where is Farnok?," Trapp replies.

As Trapp takes a more defensive stance, Orynn draws an arrow, prepared to strike if things continue south.
If Trapp attacks or tries to run:
Longbow attack: 14; Damage: 11 piercing damage
Sneak attack: 6
It's catching!

Yes, can't fault your approaches, but the number of not just low rolls but straight Nat 1s has been astoinding.
Hope those of you in USA had a happy Thanksgiving weekend! If there is no further talking by tonight I will start calling for further talking or other actions in initiative order.
