(I mean, nothing she’s done is overtly hostile? And he’s an authority? So I don’t think he’d be at “attacking us”. Maybe “telling us to fuck off”)

He draws his shortsword. “Is this some kind of ambush? Cultists coming to finish me off?”
He stares at you. “You won’t find any mercy for killing an officer of the Watch, you know.”
(I think it’s cool but potentially disastrous)

“…very well.” Drakor sounded skeptical, but he moved away from the guards towards Wanderer. “Where are the tracks you would like me to look at?”
Wanderer doesn’t like this situation. He had planned on doing an investigation of the man after the fact. Now he’s on guard.
Can’t change that.
Gotta do something now.

“Big. Bigger than anything we’ve got in this village, even the temple. And painted white all over, but a little dirty.”
He pauses as if he’s done, before remembering that actually you asked a second question. “The servants seemed — stressed, maybe.”

Paprika frowns a bit. “Don’t do that. It’s not a crime to tell somebody to leave. I’m not a cultist and I have no intention of harming you – I’d have taken the less experienced officer if I were to do that. I’m merely curious if you have anything you’d like to tell us.”
She spreads her arms, showing her empty hands.
(Oh)
“Uhm.”

“Haaah. No. I was going to tell you that this guard here was a liar. He knows more and gave it away with that shite reaction to the room being empty.”
He claps his hands.

“I’ve told you everything I care to.”
(your impression is that this is true, in the sense that he sure does not want to tell you more things,)
He’s got an expression on his face like he’s trying to think through a puzzle.

(what does your character Want To Know)
(well ideally she wants to know why he keeps vanishing. practically she’ll take anything related to him, his current habits, etc or actionable further leads)

“Can’t exactly be subtle now.”
Wanderer looks toward the man.
“We can do this through a truth spell or we can just be honest. What I want to know is your affiliation with the cult. If you helped them clean it up, you can give up information now and we don’t have to delve deeper. If you’re part of them, well…”

He levels his gaze at you, lips curling into an unpleasant smile. “I’m no cultist. I’ll testify to that under Abadar’s Truthtelling, if you’d like — I don’t worship Flauros or any other demon lord, and I never have. Of course, I’ll certainly be telling the Watch about your… competence.”
(to be absolutely clear, it is very obvious from his tone that he’s threatening to imply you suck at your jobs, not that he is offering to praise your competence)

“That much is true.” Paprika smiled a bit, then let Wanderer speak.
