When I say I know Nothing

The various techniques of information extraction across the lands are all very similar. I mean they all try and intimidate you at first usually by implication (ugly dungeons, suggestive sounds, torture implements near by). Then they move on to being your buddy, they really want to help you, you just have to help them. Lastly of course is the actual torture during which any information you provide is useless, but I'm sure it makes someone happy (whoever that sick bastard may be). So with all of that in mind...

"All of your compatriots are dead, you are alone and you will be joining them shortly." Short stocky, nice purple robe (royal color) no hair on his head, not threw shaving like myself, looked like early onset hair loss.

"Well that certainly makes me feel more talkative." I'd been there for less than an hour, it was definitely a new way of doing an interrogation. Immediately killing everyone and just telling me I'm next kind of hurt my feelings though, there was no artistry to it.

"You are to be publicly executed, unlike your friends who were just gutted in the room next to you."

"I do like working for an audience." Its true I'm a crowd pleaser, just ask all the dead people (that part of my joke I did not say).

"Where did your weapons go Mr. Lorentino?" So it was to be a real interrogation.

"Weapons? You know I thought those crates were loaded with Hanlon's new portable shelters. I had no idea there were any weapons in them, alas I was robbed recently."

"Lying will do you no good."

"But I'm so good at it." Except when I admit that I'm lying.

"If you think the rebellion will suceed, they will not."

"Buddy if I thought anything that would be one more than I've currently got."

"Enjoy your execution Lorentino." And with that he left. I wasn't magic shackled, which told me my enemies knew little of me other than I'm an arms dealer and revolutionary (sort of? I still dispute this). The room I was in was also just wood, I had no idea where I was, but we hadn't traveled long to arrive at it, so that was a hint that we were clearly not very far from where we'd been picked up. I also hadn't heard a lot of people, so it wasn't a very well manned location either (implication, but people move around make noise, it becomes apparent when they are around or there are a lot of them). Also I was pretty sure he was lying about gutting people the door over, I'd have heard that. All the same I patiently waited for my execution. Because there was no point in trying to break out of a location I couldn't make a clear getaway from (see I've learned some stuff). Also was kind of interested to see how they'd kill me, I admit I'm vain like that.
