2E 479-481

After you destroy Terminas village you search for survivors that might give away some information to help fight against Termina.
You find a few and begin to interrogate them.


  Captive:  I will not betray my country! I will tell you nothing!
  You:       Foolish man! We are going to win this war anyway! Why not tell me and save countless lives! I will make to a deal. I will spare your life and set you free in exchange for information. Of course we will have to prove that it is true first.
  Captive:  You would do this for me? Well, if it helps save lives I don't see why not...
  You:       Go on.
  Captive:  Well lets see...
  You:       Just tell me where your nearest iron ore producing village is!
  Captive:  Ah! I can do that; and much, much more.
  You:       Tell me soldier!
  Captive:  Alright, there is an exit on the other side of this cave, which leads to a valley. A large valley and on the other side of this valley is another cave. That cave, which is called Dead Drop Cavern, is used as a secret way to get to our castle. Our castle as an entrance on the other side of that cave. It should be easy to take if you use this advise. Also, we use both Shadowstep and Dead Drop Cavern as secret routes to get large caravans to our castle, so you may find plenty of them to raid.
  You:       This is great information, I will send scouts to see if this is the truth. Is there anything else?
  Captive:  Yes, you said that you wanted to know where our nearest iron mine was. Well, this valley I spoke of has lots of iron in it. Taking this will weaken my nation considerably.
  You:       You do not honor  your country, soldier.
  Captive:  Maybe so, but I just want to get back to my children and my wife.
  You:       You will see them soon enough. [You turn to your scouts] Scouts! see if what this man says is true! Oh and throw this man in the stocks until we know he was truthful.

When the scouts return they tell you that the captive was telling the truth, but left out one important piece of information. The valley is heavily guarded and they admit that they failed to be unseen by the enemy and they may have stirred up a Colovian army. They also report that there is a small village that is willing to join you, but Termina is sure to learn this soon. You must hurry to their aid!
