>>>>>[Sodium-pentathol and phenobarbital? My my, someone's a fan of the classics. Didn't think people still used that combo except in places where they couldn't get modern alternatives or Magic to do the job. Back in my army days, my squad's "Information Specialist" preferred a cocktail of concentrated doses of Bliss and Zen, combined with some simple illusion spells. After she got the information she needed, she would sometimes allow the person to walk free, and arrange for a government controlled supplier to cater to their new addictions, flipping the asset more permanently.

And that's a lesson to you younger kids. Pain is quicker, but you run into problems when people tell you whatever they can think of to end the pain, whether it is true or not. And there's the problem of people who, through stubbornness, devotion, or training, dig in their heels under duress, and refuse to say anything in the face of the most horrible tortures you can think of. Pleasure is slower, but it is much harder for people to lie when they are high as a kite and an illusion makes you look like their best friend in the world. Of course, there are people who are trained to resist interrogation under such circumstances as well, but they are far rarer.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Magic and modern psychotropic software have rendered pretty much every older interrogation method obsolete, along with most of the things that can be done to train someone to deal with being interrogated.  Only reason we even bothered with nonsense like simulated drowning was to sort out which ones were actually worth going full speed into.  Everyone who hasn't actually had any sort of capture preparation training expects all of it, and shrugging off something paltry gives them a little bit of a boost.  By making them a little bit stronger, it's that much more complete when they shatter.

Then again, anyone who'll talk just because you've subjected him to 20 minutes of pledge hazing won't know anything important anyway.]<<<<<

>>>>>[My apologies for not being back sooner- Wolfgar, I know you sent me some messages I haven't responded to, my apologies sincerely. If there is anything you are still willing to pass my way, I will be most grateful.

Aside from some extended life quality improvement, I decided to undergo the preparation for and undertaking of an Arcane Navjote (initiation), which required me to divorce myself from material matters for some months. How are you all?]<<<<<

>>>>>[Actually guys, this is actually one of the things i used to do for a living. Questioning and getting people like him to the point they really couldn't be questioned. So i know how to break him slowly. The only problem is that this way actually takes quite a while so its going to be slow going. Chemicals, simsense, magic, the whole nine yards. But the real trick is, just like keeping from being able to be broken you have to work through stages to break through this kinda stuff.]<<<<<

>>>>>[FINE !!! I just want answers mon. He messed with my family eh. And dis part of history is long buried with my father. An he goes and DOES THIS!!!! YOU WOKE DE BEASTY RANGER DUDE EH. YOU BETTER HOPE MORG N DE OTHERS CAN KEEP ME CALM. OR YOU BE FEELIN DE BEASTS TEETH MON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Ahem ---looks around and nods---- right get started]<<<<<

[Jian]

>>>>>[That's not a good state to be in, Marak, if you are well, forcefully interrogating someone. Wolfgar, Vice, and Iceblade have their points, it's a fine art (though I shall not call it "art"). I can understand history being a touchy point- the life management, to be honest was my dealing with unsavory types attempting to intrude into old matters I prefer to keep buried.

The issue is the same as now though. I took the absence and extended time devoted to this issue because I wanted to handle that problem with care. Marak, you have to stay calm or you'll botch the job obviously.

And Wolfgar: do let me know if you have anything worth going my way- I've developed some additional spells during the process of the Navjote.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Just be sure you know what you're getting in for when you embark on a mission of revenge. And if you're going to do it, eliminate everyone, down to their last friend or family member, even the young and the elderly. Otherwise, you'll likely have people seeking revenge on you in turn. Or upon your children. Last time I went hunting for vengeance, I showed restraint. I only killed the people directly responsible. And here I am, almost a decade later, still having to deal with their friends and family who want revenge on me for what  I did. If you are going to go for vengeance, finish it.

Now excuse me, I have a new statue to put in my garden, the first of my own works. It is a lovely ice sculpture that won't melt so long as the spell holds. Took some  work to get the pose right, but I think I captured the subject's passion nicely. I'm making this one into a fountain to replace the one that she broke when she was trying to kill me just now. Such a bother.]<<<<<
