Tazskan, having listening to the young scout asks a question.
"Why, did you want to you want to kill your father, and what work does he do, at the stronghold,"?
Tazskan, also pulls up a chair in the same room.
"Guys we don't need his whole life story, geez," Perry complains as he presses his palm to his face. "Listen guy, what's the cult up to here? Why are you guys committing such a large force to this tower? What are the details of your forces and are there any dragons coming?"
Perry looks to the others for input on potentially useful questions.
"The wizard's supposed to have something, some kind of weapon I think, that could turn the tide of the war."
"Just what you can see that I know of, there was the great one, Anata, but something brought him down, I don't know how to describe it. I don't know if any other great ones will come."
Poljen says, "What are your orders if you come under attack? How do you communicate with the mages you've sent into the maze? Do they come out periodically? How long have you been here, and how long since they first entered the maze?"
The boy continues woodenly, eyes darting with panic as he keeps spilling secrets. "We are to retreat to the fortifications and follow the lead of our officers. The mages found a way through the maze just two days ago, they haven't come back out since. Our officers have been getting updates from the commander who is with them, but I don't know how."
"So, how many of you have retreated back to the fortifications, now"? Tazskan asks.
"How many mages are there in the maze,"? He adds.
Velon chimes in with a few more questions after hearing of the boy's father and his employment.
"Who did your father work for? Tell me of the wizard who owns this tower. What did your father tell you about his place of work during his time there? Defenses? Entrances? How do we navigate the maze? How did your father get to work with the maze in the way?" He continues to pry for all the father's boy would have told him related to this place.
Before they are done, Velon has one last question for the boy, as he fears the choice they will have to make regarding him. "What will you do if we let you go? What would you have your future be?"
