Peranza thought that Cayden Cailean might intervene for her. Threatened that Cheliax shouldn't hurt her lest it break their collaboration with Cailean. It seems entirely plausible that this is the whole of Cailean's plan, what He was purchasing with everything else; that the girls would believe, correctly or at least with justification, that Cailean would intervene on their behalf, that they'd recklessly betray Cheliax on that assumption, remembering Tonia finding herself outside the fortress, believing that could be them. The greatest threat to the project at this time, in his view, is defection. If they can hold onto the girls, they can win everything; if they can't, it will all come crashing down. It does not seem worth it to him to make any concession that makes it easier for the girls to believe Cailean would help them. In fact, if Pilar returns to the fortress un-cursed, and everyone learns that the Project at last broke with Cayden Cailean over whether Peranza should be tortured to death, that seems good for Asmodeus, so good for Asmodeus that it's hard to imagine some benefit of not torturing Peranza beats it. (Though it'd be hard to conceal from Keltham; he's not aware of the current state of the contingencies for that.)
