Bloody Handed

This past feast- a time for reserved for celebration and community- I received more requests from towns members to perform sanctioned "interrogations" on detained individuals than ever before.

What you were asking me to do was torture bound and helpless victims.

There is sometimes an unfortunate need for torture, especially when the information concerns the safety of the townsfolk and the realm, but those times should be a rarity as opposed to a common practice. For the future, unless its the most dire of sanctioned circumstances, please don't disturb me with requests to put down my books and pick up the skinning knife. Heros of the common people shouldn't need to resort to torture so often.

Bolton,

You are correct. I, for one, regret my part in adding to your business in that area. I can't say that I am proud of myself due to last feast, quite the opposite. No excuses, no "buts". Thank you for saying this.

By the way, Waters, expect a missive from me by the middle of the night tonight.

Bolton,

I heartily agree with your sentiment. Are there not more civil methodologies of extracting truth from criminals? Can we not authorize our legendarily qualified mages to simply pluck the needed information from suspects? Regardless, while violence can certainly prove an effective methodology, it has often proved costly in regards to time, citizen morale, and absolutely ruined garments.

Since Master DuMourne is no longer willing, I would like to offer my services. I can't vouch for the validity of any information gained through my methods, but I would be happy to torture anyone the town sees fit.

I was going to say that you would be replaced quickly but I see someone has already filled your spot. How Delightful.

It truly warms the cockles of my heart to see individuals so zealously eager to do what must be done.
