Damnation! Sloan is proving hard to break, refusing to confess. I first administered the Test by Water, forcing Sloan to retrive a golden ring from the bottom of a cauldron filled with boiling water. Three days later, his arm was scaled, thereby proving his guilt, yet despite my promptings, he has not confessed. He has been in the torture chamber for 4 days now, and still he denies the truth.
