[ The tactic wasn't strategic, but Iorveth sure did bank on it (literally) working. As Thentavva tests the gold to see if it's legitimate, Iorveth turns on his heels with all the unwarranted confidence of someone who is going to get the fuck out of here with the boots on his feet and in Astarion's hands.
"Wait," Thentavva starts to say, to which Iorveth responds: ] Come, let's go.
[ More underhanded tactics on Iorveth's part－ he picks up the tiefling girl in her sweet little slippers and puts her squarely in the shoemaker's potential warpath, then puts what looks like her brother (another small boy with horns) beside her, making a child-shaped wall. Clearly, this is a man who has experience doing some truly heinous shit to survive.
With that done, he tugs Astarion briskly in the direction of the exit. ]
