If it's just the hezrou, the fort can maybe handle it with some casualties but no serious operational consequences, but hezrous are only mostly solitary and you can't rely on demons doing what they mostly do.

And suddenly she's the song-sorceress he's familiar with again, smiling broadly. "Wow. You're very good at that." She suppresses a shiver.

She nods. "That makes sense, yeah." People are wildly differently susceptible to - buying into framing devices like that for harsh lectures, even in places where Actual Literal Torture isn't a common punishment. "I assume you would do - different variants, based on the infraction?"
