Line 800:
* In the event I capture someone who appears to be a civilian, I will carefully monitor the heroes to see if one them is missing or is acting suspiciously out of character. That way I'll be able find out if the "civilian" is actually one of the heroes.
* I will regularly ransom prisoners to the heroes. There will be no correlation between the "value" of the prisoners and the value of what I ask for. Furthermore, I will not limit myself to asking for things that are valuable and/or powerful.
** Whenever prisoners are exchanged for ransom only half of them will be brought to the exchange site. I will then have a competent minion verify that the hero'sheroes have kept their end of the bargain (i.e. they have given us the requested items, and said items are not trapped). If they have the other half of the prisoners will be released. If the item is fake or trapped I will either release the remaining prisoners (lulling the heroes into a false sense of security), or publicly execute them.
* As good slaves are hard to come by I will ensure slaves are well fed and hydrated and properly clothed for the environment they are working in. If financially feasible I will make their living conditions better then what they were prior to becoming a slave. (Assuming they don't put undue value on their freedom).
