Right, we can't allow the prisoner to die. Caras indicated it was rare to find an uninfected Shellman. We need to get intelligence out of him. I don't want to bring a doctor in though, because he's likely to object to healing a patient just so the patient can be exposed to more torture.
As far as I can tell, the Baron of Subterran Maggots appears to be useful for mainly spy techniques rather than digging techniques. As such, I'm not sure we need his help to build tunnels around our borders. I would in fact prefer to do this without his help.
[x]Hmm. Has Virmire gotten him under a blanket, or fed him at any point? Possibly the Shellman just needs basic care. He has been subjected to cold water for hours on end, unable to sleep. Perhaps he is hypothermic.
[X] Talk to Caras about the viability of building a tunnel network along the Shellman border. Digging a tunnel network under all our lands might be too expensive, but digging a tunnel network only on the border would be cheaper and would allow for better intelligence on any Shellman incursions during the day. The tunnels could also be collapsed under an incursion, if necessary.
-[x]Also, traps. Now that you know a bit more about the territory, you need to talk to Caras about defenses that don't require the presence of soldiers. You are quite certain pit traps, at the least, should be a viable option, and so far as you know Caras has taken no such measures.
Pretty much the greatest problem for Caras in this conflict is sunlight. You can make traps in the night, and with nigh untiring workers... could help a LOT.
