As a prisoner in an attemped assassination, Thompson has no rights by law. Of course, asa member of the lower class, he has practically no rights by law anyway. AndByrons_Ghost has the situation correctly in mind. If he’s turned in, he’s dead. If the PC’slet him go, the theves guild will torture him, then kill him and use his corpse as a warningto anyone else who is thinking of betraying the resistsance. So it seeems very likely thathe’s going to want a deal for safe passage in exchange for his information. About his onlyother hope is that the remaning members of the ‘violence now’ faction will break him out.And much better to get out of the lion’s den first.So, he’s trying to play it cool, but he’s a bit jumpy. He’ll let some of the basics of thesituation slip (hired to leave the window open and the rope out for the assassin. Decidedto help take a potshot at the Duke’s son as an act of rebellion) pretty quickly, even underindirect or super open questions like “So murder, that’s pretty fuh huh?”Thompson had a family in the town and worked as a guard before being pulled into somesoldiering for a year. He comes back, his family is gone. He blames the upper class forthat. So if they seem at all sympathetic, he’ll try towing that line to see what he gets.If they’re willing to resort to violence, after a couple of broken fingers, he’ll be willing tospill everything. I doubt they’ll do anything that focused though. Other info he’s willing to drop:Where he left the money for the assassin,Who gave him the money for the assassin,The goals he was told would come from this “Revenge and the beginning of a bloodyuprizing”.Where his stash is hiddenWho else in the orginization he thinks is involved with orginizing the assassinationThe party doesn't have access to many spells that aren't of the 'wide swath of destruction' type. The investigative PC does have a ridiculous sense motive and a custom ability that's like a limited detect thoughts. So that might be enough.I'm still tempted to just write this down on 3-4 sheets of paper, ask for an intimidate roll and hand over one or more based off of how well they roll. Thanks for the help!</blockquote>
