"Did you write the letter? Do you know what was in it?"
"No, it was sealed when I got it. I was only to deliver it when I'd found and taken the proof I was sent to find. I don't know what the letter said."
"If I learn you've lied to me, no god you pray to will grant you a quick death."
"I passed what I took to another man. Had a cloak on, his face wrapped. He gave me silver for the trade, then slipped away when your men grabbed me."
"Few are that cautious and powerful. That narrows my options...as it does yours."
"You came into my lands and sought to cause me harm. You live on borrowed time."
"Don't know. Didn't want to know. When they pay that much, you live longer if you don't ask questions."
"I was paid to do a job. Prove you killed [your commander/__________], slip you the letter, then trade proof for silver." You stare at him pitilessly in his cell.
