Knowing the man was now bound, and with Tera nearby just incase, Tehr had little fear of this man.  Grabbing the assassin by the hair he yanked the man's head upwards.  Clad in nothing more than a loin cloth and laying on the floor of the stable, Tehr hoped his normally non-imposing figure would be a little more scary at least.  Yanking the hair upwards he spat his words out quietly but with venom, "You've attacked me, you've attacked my house.  By law I have every right to slit your throat and let you bleed out into the hay, and leave your body here with the horse excrement where you belong.  But I don't want to filthy my stable with your body.  You're going to tell me who hired you, and how much.  What your directions were."<br/><br/>Tehr saw the man's eyes go hard and he knew that he'd not done very well trying to intimidate the man.  So he threw the man's head down, letting go of the assassin and walking a few steps away to collect his breath.  Then taking a different tact he softened his approach and tried a different way.  "Look.  The fact is that this can go one of two ways for you.  You can work with me, tell me what I want to know, and maybe we can work out some sort of deal.  Maybe I'll grant leniency if you work with me.  Otherwise it's off to the courts for you, and i assure you that only means a short trial and a long time spent in a cage hanging from the tower bridge.  A long time in the sun, without food and water, till even the ravens are done picking over your corpse before you're cut down and your bones are emptied to make room in the cage for another fool.  Wouldn't you rather avoid such a long and painful death?  Tell me what I want to know."<br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">Not a very good roll, reflecting it in my post<br/>Roll Result: rhev rolled: 1d20, adding 5to the total<br/>Comment: Tehrs intimidate<br/>Result: 6, <br/>Total: 11<br/><br/>Roll Result: rhev rolled: 1d20, adding 9to the total<br/>Comment: Tehrs diplomacy<br/>Result: 19, <br/>Total: 28<br/><br/><br/>So at first he tried to intimidate, and it didn't work, then he switched to diplomacy.   11 for intimidate, 28 for diplomacy</div></div>
