Extort Prisoners
This mod allows you to talk to imprisoned nobles, they will bribe you cats asking you to keep them alive, fed, uninjured. This can be repeated every 48 hours if you leave the Noble alone and undisrupted. When you click on the noble and he or she says, "If you keep me alive, fed, and healthy, then I can get you money." You can then speak to the noble immediately afterwards to repeat the extortion dialogue. They will initially offer you 500 cats, which you can intimidate up to 10,000 depending upon luck and whether your character is stronger than it.
If you have multiple imprisoned nobles, you can extort from each of them without it locking you out from extorting the other ones. This serves as an alternative way to make cats for bandit role-players. The vanilla "Noble prisoner" dialogue which has no effects has been locked to prevent it with conflict with this mod.
The current list of NPCs that you can extort are anyone with the Npc Noble Basic dialogue package (Emperor Tengu, Generic Empire Nobles, Lady Kana, Slave Masters and Slave Mistresses, Lady Merin, Lady Sanda, Lady Tsugi, Lord Inaba, Lord Nagata, Lord Ohta, Lord Shiro, Lord Yoshinaga).
Potential updates
Additional dialogue lines for more NPCs that can be captured and extorted for cats and/or items.
