 _partner_say Yes, what question do you want me to ask your prisonner? 
 _self_say I want to know where they took the gold from the church heist. Be as brutal as you require. 
 _partner_say Is this course sanctioned by the bishop?  I need to know if this is the command of the church, or "off the record" so to speak. 
 _self_emote wink 
 _self_say It is off the record, of course. You know I'm a powerful man, you will be paid graciously if you keep quiet about this. 
 _partner_say I shall, you will have the name within the hour . . . though there is a chance he will not survive the questioning. 
 _self_say I do not care about that. I'm in a hurry, make it half an hour and you will receive an additional gold pouch.
