Kroft wants to probe him about his plans for a variety of contingencies - or, perhaps, spur him into creating them -, so they can hopefully avoid a repeat of what happened in the mansion, or something which looses a shadow.

Togomor too would like to avoid a repeat of the tragic tragedy that tragically occurred in the mansion, which was the scene of so much tragedy. Surely, though, her time would be better spent lecturing Toff Ornelos to that purpose? 

She's spoken with him already.

The wheels of justice spin swiftly! 

Sure. And on that subject: what's Togomor's stance on being charged and probably tried for manslaughter? She's aware that sufficiently powerful wizards can't really be charged with crimes they don't want to be, but it's corrosive to the law to let them get away with them uncontested. 

Paying restitution to families is probably well worth calming the Vault and not having Kroft as a foe.

He could get the latter benefit with a fifth-circle spell...

Under Toff Ornelos's own hooked nose?

Togomor can go ahead and try. 

Grumble grumble grumble.

Maybe Lord Arkona will help foot the bill, since you saved his life?

Oh ho ho, no no no.

When Togomor calls on his favor owed by the Hakima Rakshasa, it won't be money that he asks for. 

Good and noble officer, in light of its tragic acid-solubility, this wizard would be honored to fully comply with your adorable legal system. 

She appreciates that. She really does. 

Thank you for your cooperation, and for all your services thus far.

And now she needs to speak with Archbishop Ornher Reebs. 

Thank Asmodeus, it's the Field Marshall. He wanted to reach out to her anyway, now that the Church of Asmodeus is far and away the most powerful one in the Vault, the moment he had a minute free - it wouldn't be accurate to say that Ornher Reebs is still digesting his new personnel. He hasn't gotten that far: rather, he's still trying to fit them in his mouth.

Is Kroft here to trade liasons and or maybe him supply magic scrolls or tell him who he should supply magic scrolls to (the Church of Asmodeus gained a number of multiclass wizard/clerics, so they can make divine scrolls if they can prepare spells) and to improve their processes where she finds places to in passing and to talk about how they can work together on shared goals?

He's pretty much got the shape of it. What's Reebs currently struggling with?

It's a shitshow. 

Return him to his parents.

His parents practically threw him at me.

They didn't want anything more to do with him. And he isn't the only one, just the very youngest.

Oh.

Or take this shadow.

Again, empowered by Asmodeus. It's still under one of his cleric's command and there's no plan to change that - but what does she make of that?

By the books this means it (he? she? Reebs hasn't asked) is an Inquisitor now, with rights and responsibilities etcetera etcetera, that's all fine. What's less fine is that there's another shadow, bound by a wizard not one of his clerics, which - what are even the options there.

1) Leave the Asmodean priest slave to the non-Asmodean wizard, 2) ask the non-Asmodean wizard to send a priest who she's ruling the mind of to Reebs so it can do its religious duty, 3) try to get the priest released from mental control on the grounds that the empowered Inquisitor is sure to be within a step of Lawful and there's no such guarantee for the wizard?

But it's a shadow. Reebs doesn't like any of these options. What would Kroft do if it were one of her people?

Oh, wow. She... does not have a cached answer for this. 

She doesn't have cached answers for any of this. Uh, probably what's best is to leave the shadow where it is for now? That's her ignorant zero-context opinion, mind, although it is informed by this: she's worried about anti-Asmodean backlash from the Asmodean church gaining too much power too quickly.

...And in the interest of full disclosure, because he assumed that she was here as his ally and because she hates false pretenses, she is not herself thrilled about Asmodeus's influx of manpower and perceived moral authority.

nand, I have eleven ranks in bluff and eleven in sense motive. I'm wearing a Handband of Inspired Wisdom and a Circlet of Persuasion.

Can I borrow one of your character models to plan what I say next?

If you're quick about it, sure.

What if he implies that, even as he's sad for his loss of a reliably Abadaran trading partner who he's always been happy to (mostly) interact with in her customary Abadaran style - even while paying the tax of her uncertainty while he built a personal reputation -, he's also, in his capacity as Archbishop of Varisia, proud of Cressida Kroft's spiritual growth?

Either that's true (be sure to factor the -10 penalty for a far-fetched lie when you roll bluff) and she's less conflicted about treating with him like an Asmodean, or it's false and she's less conflicted about treating with him like an Asmodean.

PS: Reverse psychology will not endear him to her.

Different tack:

He did assume she was his ally, yes, because they want the same thing: the safety and well-being of the Korvosan people.

Increasing the influence of Hell in the Vault can only improve Korvosan well-being - if you take a longer view than the next five minutes of Prime Material life - if it's necessary and sufficient for them to survive the shadows with only a minority becoming damned.
