Certainly, though the more interesting question is where you found one.
They're rare, these days.
[ There's the sound of what... must be Asmodeus drumming his fingers on the desk. You're on speakerphone, it seems ]
Assuming this not to be hypothetical, psychological attacks work better than physical. They shrug off anything less than torture, though they're loathe to throw the first stone. Find what they believe in and convince them the best way to serve it is to . . . see it your way.
I realize this must come as a shock to you, but I have a low amount of trust in people who have orchestrated my murder on multiple occasions. And as a rule, I always expect traps as a real possibility.
[ Cool, cool. Starting to scan the room for any vents or other openings he might fit into, and trying to recall if there were any vents or windows in the hall. Do the ceiling tiles lift up, etc. Any potential exit will be considered!! ]
So, black "light" and color that it cannot overtake. I take it this is a jail in Hell? Should we have blindly trusted you after all?
[ He says, light the way his hand on your shoulder would be. A gesture that would be meaningless, except for the fact he bothered to say it at all sign-posts it as a warning. There's no reason for the gesture to be affectionate, right now. ]
If you don't trust something, don't take it unless you can deal with the consequences. Crying to me is not that.
[ The elevator deposited him directly into the phone booth.
The room is the same sort of black unlit setting as the cell, but it's far too shallow for that to be all their is of the floor, unless the elevator cell is attached to a building that is smaller than the elevator. The surface the phone is attached to is glossy and opaque, but there's a groove that indicates the phone is capable of moving where it is anchored on the wall, up and down to adjust for the size of the occupant in the room. Currently, Talon does not see any vents.
There was a stained glass window in the cellevator, but there are none he has seen in the phone booth ]
I know. I was commenting on the decor in this place.
[ Fuck that's right this is a terrible tiny room. He's focusing hard on keeping his breathing steady thanks to recent trauma surrounding being trapped in awful tiny spaces!!
Running a hand along the wall on either side of that groove, looking for any kind of panel to access the mechanism that must be there. ]
And I would hardly call this crying. I'm not asking for a rescue here. I prepared as much as I could, and now that something I didn't expect has happened I've turned to a... To the most reliable source of information I have available so I can get myself out of here.
[ A pause ]
I could always try The Liar if you'd rather not hear from me.
Giving the room one more look for anything that looks like an obvious security measure. Camera, alarm lighting, fire sprinklers... ]
I'm afraid that I'm running low on time now, so unless there's any other vital information you'd like to share with me then I think I have what I need.
Look forward to hearing from me again in that case.
[ And with that he's going to take one of his invisibility potions just to be safe and pry the phone right out of the wall, trying not to break it but bracing for an alarm or some other effect to trigger all the same. ]
[ NOTHING HAPPENS. The runes don't flare up, the phone is pried from the wall.
There's a hole Talon can stick his hand in, it looks like, to get into the guts of the machine that controls the dimensions of the room and the phone. ]
[ How user friendly is this! Can he figure out how to make the room bigger from examining it? Otherwise he's going to do some very cautious fiddling one step at a time to experiment with this. ]
[ It depends how good Talon is with technology! This is the inner workings side, not the user-interface side, so it's not labeled so the lay-man knows what each part does. If he is fairly familiar with machines though, he should be able to work out what adjusts and moves what. ]
[ Talon once re-built a teleporter to the super space station for fun, so. He can at least make the room bigger.
But unless that reveals some new part of the room he can take advantage of he isn't going to be especially impressed. Any new vents or more reasonable exits like doors or windows? ]
[ As he moves the wall back, he'll see deep grooves in the floor that the wall moves back and forth in. Tall stained glass windows set in the wall reveal themselves as the wall is cranked further and further back. They're narrow, but not so much you couldn't fit through them— though if something was large enough to require the room being adjusted to this size, they definitely couldn't get through.
It sounds like the wall hasn't hit a wall on the other side, but more like it just ran out of groove to move through ]
[ With that revealed, he's going to try heading back down to the holding cells while his invisibility's still intact. It's time to get the hell out of here. ]

So, trick them. I can work with that. But if it does come to a physical fight, do they have any known weaknesses?

Killing your fellow prisoners? Fight them on desecrated ground, but if you're in jail you're already doing that.
