"ENOUGH!" Addison shouts as he slams his staff onto the ground.
"There will be NO MORE threats of torture against our captive!"
All eyes turn to him in shock and surprise.
"Lady Galadria, regardless of your previous explanations, I cannot believe that your Order condones torturing helpless prisoners. She is NOT evil, hence your actions are not justified."
"As for you good ranger" (his voice drips with sarcasm) "I hope you are only trying to intimidate our prisoner. But whether you are or not is of no consequence. I will not stand idly by and allow more torturing of the druidess."
He then turns his attention to the captive.
"And as for you, nature worshipper. I know that you are withholding information from us. I suggest you tell us everything that you know, otherwise, your life will most likely be forfeit. You attacked us and we defended ourselves. There is no apology for that, and we will do the same again if need be. The only difference is that you most likely won't survive a second attack on us.
Tell us what you know and I will see to it that you are freed and allowed to leave without further harm. Refuse and I can offer NO such garuantee for your safety."
"One last thing, druid. If you prefer to keep your knowledge to yourself, that is your choice. But our mind-warrior here (nods in Kishin's direction) can probe your mind and retrieve any information we need with or without your approval. You literally have nothing to gain by withholding this information. The choice is yours."
