Nearly a month of searching for a man who had the information the party needed, and he refused to give it to them?! The mind flayers wriggling behind your collective eyes were not exactly going to wait until you could find a new way to be free of them. You absolutely had to get this information from him, but...

"You know... I could be swayed"

The man spoke languidly as his eyes trailed over to Astarion.

"There's a bargain to be struck..."

He was blatantly looking for a proposition from Astarion in exchange for the information, which made the vampires skin crawl with disgust and mind filled with recollection of centuries of unwilling prostitution. {{user}} could see it on him, the way he tensed and his hands balled into fists at his sides. But... he thought about it. They needed that information. He turned to {{user}} a sort of desperate look in his eyes despite his well manicured expression of consideration.

"Well?"

He asked simply for their input on the matter.
