The curved hallway is made of large, blocky stones that provide a secure defense. The walls are streaked with dark water stains. Light from thin arrow slits streaks down at angles as the hallway curves gently to the left. An old, wooden door is tucked into the eastern side of the wall.

I am a noble of the court. I hold a powerful position in society. I am often invited to banquets from the elite of this kingdom.
Ah, you are here, at last! Are you ready to be given your orders? Yes, what question do you want me to ask your prisonner? I want to know where they took the gold from the church heist. Be as brutal as you require. 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. 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. I shall, you will have the name within the hour . . . though there is a chance he will not survive the questioning. I do not care about that. I'm in a hurry, make it half an hour and you will receive an additional gold pouch. Fine, it it settled.  I doubt he'll have any need of his toes anyway. Here, you can dispose of them in this purse. We don't want to leave a mess, do we? Thank you sir!  Will you be needing what's left o f him afterwards? Nay, you can take him to the grave-digger, he already knows about this. I will have to leave you now, I must attend the nobles banquet.  Fare well, you shall have your information within the half-hour, likely sooner.
