"Well, honestly, I don't know what the Society's beef is with the Torenescu, but it's a real feud for sure."
The man ponders. "Lucia Vorloi's murder could have been a Society hit. I'd guess it was and done to frame the Torenescu. But that ain't more than a guess.
I don't know anything about kobolds. Little dog-men, right?
Well, the meeting's tonight. And it's a formal one, so all the high-up's'll be there. So that's all I got. Deal or no?"

Rezak had had enough. He launches at the man drawing his dagger and putting it up under his scraggly chin.
"Ye will be gettin' nuff'n shiny frum us but dis! Ye bag of chicken bowels!" the rogue says in a serious tone.
"Since I been 'ere, dees veiled men has been pushin me's around. Well it ends now! Ye tell me were I can a 'inds em or I will be use'n me gold tae pay a priest to be ask'n ye dead corspe!"
[sblock=OOC] Well unless he is level 5 and has a WIS of 20 (or some other combo there of) I think that Intimidate should get us what we need. [/sblock]

ooc: intimidate
The man is visibly shaken by Rezak's threat, and his shoulders slump.
"In that case" he says "I'm a dead man either way. If I tell you and can't skip town, they'll catch me soon enough. Might as well get it over with now, that way at least the priest'll get some gold out o' you."

The opponent will not "give you information you desire" if that is an action that will endanger him. That's why I quoted the SRD.
This is obvious from the spirit of the situation: The opponent always acts in the interest of his own goals. If you intimidate him, he will likely believe that it's in his interest to cooperate by telling you information. If he believes that doing so would endanger him, that can over-ride his interest in cooperating, especially if his real attitude is hostile to you.
Like the real-world Mafia, the Veiled Society has a strict code: betray them, and they'll target you. So he has reason to be afraid. That's why he didn't just talk even though he was already friendly to Barek due to the charm spell.
Don't try to rules-lawyer this one, HM.
Roleplaying always trumps dice. If you can persuade him that he's better off by talking, then he will. He won't if he believes he's dead either way.
You really didn't do it that way, so I went with more of the demoralize effect, but it wouldn't have changed the outcome.[/sblock]

[sblock=kinem] Then Rezak will attempt to slit his throat. Since the blade is already there and he only has alittle HP left he should fall. So you can post Rezak taking the dagger blade across the man's throat and him falling to the ground. I have a great RP responds to that. OR you can roll init and have whoever wins init roll an attack. Although Rezak is armed and he is not. Either way this guy is going to die as an example that Rezak isn't a goodie goodie to be messed with. [/sblock]
Before Rezak can try again, the man attempts to withdraw from the situation and flee.
ooc: Rezak will not get an AOO on the fleeing man, but others could. I'll assume that Caridoc and Barek are close enough, though they might prefer to let him go. What will you do?
PCs then to act.
