Lambert's going to find it to be only increasingly annoying to get longer or even, in this particular case, real answers out of Childermass. It isn't a dislike for the man or anything that keeps him from answering a few of them truthfully, but that if there's information he won't be sharing with Strange, then it's only fair to leave everyone else out in the dark as well.
So to what he asked for, he'll say, "The location of a vast but very much lost treasure trove left behind by a pirate king. You wouldn't know him, but he died a very rich man. Secretive, too, as no one's found where he kept all he stole since his death."
It's utter bullshit, but the problem with that is Childermass has one hell of a poker face. Even if there is a hint of amusement behind it, he still manages to sound entirely serious. Though, since he's hardly given a true answer to that, he'll at least keep from turning the same question back on Lambert.
"You'd normally be trying to stop this, you said?" He'll finish drink number two and pour a third, not feeling any sign of a buzz or being tipsy whatsoever yet. Seems the necklace works after all. Good to know. "And you track vampires. Does most of what you do involve dealing with the supernatural?"
In a more violent way than his deal with the Ringmaster, of course.
