Glad to see things are going well. Man, you totally outwitted the Duke and Duchess--awesome.

Not entirely sure "going well" includes "Corel feels its perfectly alright to torture an unarmed and defenseless Sidhe woman to get information."

Corel has clearly been watching too much 24

This is the sidhe who was delivering the payment to the assassin, correct? Corel's methods do seem to be getting increasingly extreme and dishonorable, but most of the time the victims probably deserve it. He is perhaps finding that in order to defeat an enemy who has no moral scruples and no honor, it is necessary to become more pragmatic and abandon certain principles. This campaign seems to be an interesting examination of the moral questions surrounding justice and battling insurgents. In order to defeat monsters, is it necessary to become one?

Yes, that was her.

From a purely OOC standpoint, in this case, Corel's methods were overkill. The pooka solution works regardless of whether or not she was so harmed. That being said, there's the ethical question of such pooka use, as well, still.
