  Summary

  Not many scourgers find their way into the Dungeon of Penance - they are quite good at what they do, after all, and those who weren't good enough to complete their mission and escape were usually good enough to take a bite into their nightshade capsule sewn into their uniform.

  it wasn't every day that the shadowhand got to interrogate a scourger.
