This document provides instant reference for what each named NPC knows, will reveal, will lie about, and doesn't know. Use this when the party suddenly decides to interrogate, bribe, or magically compel information from someone you weren't expecting to interview.

BARRON WHITEHALLOW

- He is terminally ill (lungs scarred, body failing, time running out)

- He intends to become a Lich through ritual during the September 5 eclipse

- He plans to possess the Albion boy king's body and rule the empire from within

- The true nature of his relationship with Kiraline (he seduced her, earned her trust, is exploiting it)

- Diplomatic necessities and peace negotiations (with strategic omissions)

- Sympathy for the party's dangerous position

- His intentions toward Kiraline (he will insist they share genuine romantic bond)

- Why he recruited Olivia (he will frame it as merciful opportunity, not strategic placement)

- Why he recruited Jack (he will minimize the importance of Jack's lycanthropy)

- His true endgame (he will never reveal his intention to become a Lich or possess the boy king)

- The timeline pressure (he'll suggest there's still time, even as the eclipse approaches)

- His manipulation of Kiraline (he will maintain the pretense of romantic balance)

Doesn't Know:

- Whether his agents will remain loyal once the conspiracy is threatened

- Whether the ritual will actually work (he has faith but not certainty)

- What happens to his consciousness if the ritual fails mid-transformation

- Whether Kiraline suspects him (she doesn't, but he worries she might)

Interrogation Notes: Barron is trained in resisting interrogation. He will admit to small crimes to establish credibility, then deny larger ones. He speaks with calculated sincerity. Direct confrontation without overwhelming evidence will produce excellent lies rather than confession. Magical compulsion is possible but he has some resistance.

- The full scope of what's being planned

- Barron's true identity as the conspiracy's architect

- The eclipse timeline

- That she's been manipulated since her arrival in Kormor Kirak

- The true purpose of the Hallaset Fields

Interrogation Notes: Olivia is honest and logical. She'll answer direct questions truthfully unless she has specific reason to lie. She responds well to presented evidence. Under magical compulsion, she cannot help but tell the complete truth as she understands it.

Doesn't Know:

- Barron's true plan

- The scope of the conspiracy beyond his own assignments

- That Varga is also a werewolf

- Whether the party is actually safe

- The eclipse timeline

- Barron's true motivations

Interrogation Notes: Jack is trained to resist interrogation. He won't break easily, and he won't betray those he's sworn to protect without significant cause. He will admit to combat killings without shame. He responds to direct questions with truth unless operational security demands otherwise. Magical compulsion works but he can fight it.

- That her mother is a vampire (she suspects, but doesn't know for certain)

- What necromantic working is truly being performed

- Whether her mother intentionally killed the Gawky Model or permitted it to happen

Interrogation Notes: Szeret is young and inexperienced. She cannot easily lie and doesn't have extensive training in resistance. She responds well to kindness and terribly to threats. Magical compulsion extracts truth, but she finds the experience painful. She will protect Olivia and Jack even under pressure if she can.

- That her lover has been using her trust as a weapon

- How much of the cult's inner conspiracy Barron has redirected toward his own rise

- Whether Barron will betray her or not

Interrogation Notes: Kiraline is an apex predator and will not respond to conventional pressure. Torture amuses her. Threats against her power enrage her. She will admit to actions she's proud of. She cannot be magically compelled without significant magical power. She is best negotiated with rather than interrogated, and she respects strength and intelligence. She will lie when it amuses her to do so.

- Details of the conspiracy's structure beyond what he's observed

- Whether the Man with the Clockwork Arm serves him or acts independently

Interrogation Notes: Koss is trained to resist interrogation and will reveal only what serves Terrassian interests. He is pragmatic rather than loyal to any specific person. Magical compulsion works but he can resist for a time. He cannot be tortured effectively because he's trained past such responses. He is best approached as a negotiating partner rather than an interrogation subject.

VARGA

Knows:

- He is a werewolf with an involuntary curse

- He is working for Barron under promise of a cure

- He murdered the previous tax collector

- He stole treasury gold and helped transport it

- Barron's direct orders and operations he's conducted

- That Barron's timeline is approaching something significant

- The identities of party members and their locations

- That Jack Mackie is also a werewolf (he's sensed this)

- His knowledge of the conspiracy's true scope

- His willingness to continue serving (he will express more certainty than he feels)

- Whether he's hurt people

- His real motivation (he will never admit how desperately he wants to be human again)

Doesn't Know:

- Barron's true plan (lichdom and possession)

- Whether the cure actually exists

- The eclipse timeline or its significance

- The full scope of the conspiracy beyond his assignments

- That Barron may be lying about the cure

- Whether other agents will remain loyal

Interrogation Notes: Varga can be turned if offered a genuine alternative cure. He's dangerous and unpredictable because his loyalty is conditional on false hope. Under magical compulsion, he reveals operational details but will resist questions about the cure. Torture hardens him because he's already suffering. Negotiation regarding his lycanthropy is the key to flipping him. He is most dangerous when he believes he has nothing left to lose.

ROZITO VALLIKOZO

Knows:

- He practices necromancy

- He is performing rituals in Hallaset Fields

- Whether he understands what the necromancy is truly for

- The extent of his knowledge about Barron's involvement

- Whether he wants to be doing this work

- His confidence in his position

- Whether he's killed people himself (he will admit to some murders if confronted with evidence)

Doesn't Know:

- That Barron has become the cult's secret leader and is redirecting its work

- The true purpose of the necromantic work

- The eclipse timeline

- That his work is preparing the fields for Barron's transformation

- Whether Kiraline actually permits his practice or tests him

- That Barron sent him in the first direction

- How much of the Lich Cult's work is genuine cult doctrine and how much has been bent toward Barron's ascension

Interrogation Notes: Rozito can be flipped if offered protection or alternative direction. He's performing dark magic partly from fear and partly from genuine magical compulsion (the necromancy has some hold over him). Pressure regarding Kiraline's opinion is effective. Magical compulsion works but he tries to resist. He is most valuable as an informant about necromantic practice itself rather than the conspiracy's structure. Offer him a way out and he might become an ally.

- His knowledge of the conspiracy's true nature

- His complicity (he will frame it as following orders)

- Whether he suspects Barron's true agenda

- The extent of institutional protection he possesses

Doesn't Know:

- Barron's true plan

- The eclipse timeline

- That he's been used as an institutional shield for the conspiracy

- The full scope of what the stolen money funded

- Whether he's ultimately expendable

Interrogation Notes: Wooster is comfortable in corruption and won't break easily under standard pressure. He believes institutional cover will protect him. Offer immunity and evidence of exposure, and he might flip. Magical compulsion works easily on him. He is most valuable for financial information than operational details. He is cowardly beneath his eccentric exterior.

She is best approached as a source of wisdom rather than information extraction. She will refuse to help if doing so threatens the old world or those she's sworn to protect. She is trustworthy within her own framework, but her framework includes loyalties that might not align with the party's.

- Whether the fire Feeney set accomplished anything

Interrogation Notes: Nero is direct and relatively honest. He responds well to straight questions. He will provide practical information freely if he trusts the questioner.

Notes: Her death serves as evidence of Kiraline's true nature and her willingness to use necromancy on those she loves. The discovery of her body is a turning point in the investigation.
