This Time it was Pirates in the Mists

Lachlan asks the Captain of the White Sword if there are any Maritime laws that must be observed/upheld when interrogating pirate prisoners

Godric stands guard while Laclan "interrogates" to make sure things don't go too far.

Yes, of course.  We don't torture prisoners.  Ordinarily, we would be taking them back to Icefia, where they know they would be facing a life sentence of hard labor.  As a result, most pirates are somewhat cooperative.  They're not the picture of steadfastness, pirates.  These pirates don't know that we will likely have to turn them over to the Horarians, who are far more lenient.  You could intimate we will give them to the Layraedians, who have the death penalty; but they may think that a better fate than decades in the mines or lumbering the far north.

Thinks it over for a minute.. isn't psychological tourture, still torture?

It only applies if there is a cleric of Celetal in the vicinity

I do not think intimidation falls under the Icefian definition of psychological torture. There are worse thing we could do to extract information from these despicable people. They certainly deserve worse.

The captain says Informing criminals of the potential consequences of their actions is not torture by any definition. It is actually an essential principle of the rule of law.

At first the pirates are disinclined to cooperate but they soon realize you are not naval officers and become wary. Godric s presence is unnerving and after a few attempts you are satisfied the rank and file know nothing. In fact they are angry that their masters sent them against a ship that clearly out classed them.

Your options for more senior crew include the leader of the marines (who Ruby knocked out), a cleric of Lavashki, who you fished out of the water, the only surviving officer from the frigate and the captain of the second sloop.

The majority of survivors were from the second sloop, with the second largest group from the boarding party.

Dylan elbows Godric " Ask them " pointing at the cleric of Lavashki, and the Marine leader " why they wanted us, "
