"Dream pastries!" shouts the old woman with the pie cart, "Get your dream pastries here! Morgantha's dream pastries, one gold piece a pie!".
People are beginning to gather around the cart, getting out their money and giving it to the old woman.

Devious serpent folk devoid of compassion, yuan-ti manipulate other creatures by arousing their doubts, evoking their fears, and elevating and crushing their hopes. From remote temples in jungles, swamps, and deserts, the yuan-ti plot to supplant and dominate all other races and to make themselves gods.
Sylciss licks his lips and says, "Yes! Yes! They give me pleasant dreams! I saw tons of suffering and torment! It was delicious too!"

He also addresses Emre after climbing down the ladder, "I've never heard of a bird turning someone into a werewolf. Even if it did, how would you suggest we test for it?"
Taking on a bookish air, Emre explains. "Ah, yes, the word is a bit of a misnomer. The barbarian clans have a different word for each were-creature, but the less-informed 'high culture' from which we derive our Common tongue was initially only aware of werewolves. 'Lycanthropy' is thus the universal name for the curse, regardless of which animal hybrid is in question. So wereravens impart lycanthropy just as werewolves do, but there strain is particular to wereravens and they cannot propagate werewolves. At least, I don't think they can..."
Emre finally notices eyes glazing over at her exposition and turns to studying the links of chain in her armored sleeve.
"Even if that's the case, Emre, I think I'll believe it when I see it." Thpas smiles and looks at his finger. Licking his wound, he says "I don't taste any different..."
Then turning his attention back to the Imp "suffering and torment?" He poses his next question to the group "why would anyone want that? Let alone stand in such a long line and at such an exorbitant fee!"

OOC: Think about what Sylciss would want. He is a type of devil, after all.

Valanthe gives Thpas an impassive look, "You are assuming I'd allow that to happen."
She turns and walks towards the baker saying aloud, "If that devil of an imp likes the dreams these pastries give, they cannot be good for a normal person..."
Addressing the crowd, "... but should you all choose to suffer that's your prerogative, just know your dreaming devil approved dreams. More importantly, anyone know where the toy maker Blinsky lives?"
A man in a thick gray robe says to you, "Blinsky's toy shop is in the southern part of town. But I can't say I recommend going there." He shudders with a look of disgust on his face.
Valanthe then notices the old woman selling pastries take a squirming sack in exchange for pastries. She puts the sack inside her cart and hobbles off. The people who bought pastries return to their houses.

Valanthe seems disturbed at the sight of a squirming sack. She calls to her friends, "Hey they gave her something that was still LIVING for those pastries - that sack was squirming!" Curiosity piqued, Valanthe continues, "Forget the toy man for now - I want to know what they gave her for those pastries."

If the individual(s) who traded the bag to the old woman is(are) still around, Valanthe will approach very frantically and more than a little crazy (because sometimes crazy gets fast results), asking "WHAT WAS IN THE SACK?!?!?!"
If those individuals are nowhere to be found, she'll start following the old woman from a distance.

Thpas follows quickly after the woman. "Excuse me miss! I'd like another, but I haven't got the coin! Is there something else I can trade? My companion quite enjoyed it!"
In response to Thpas, the old woman smiles nervously and says, "Of course you can have another! Here, take two!"
With that she places two mincemeat pies in Thpas' hands.

"Those pastries seem to be quite the item! Look at all those people...She must be making a killing with so many customers."
"What do you say Sylciss? Are they as magically delicious as advertised?"
Sylciss licks his lips and says, "Yes! Yes! They give me pleasant dreams! I saw tons of suffering and torment! It was delicious too!"

Valanthe keeps up the chase and observes the old woman's reaction to Thpas' question.

While the old woman is distracted handing Thpas the meat pies, one in each hand, Valanthe literally reaches over and shakes the sack.
