It might be more convenient for us all if Busan was traded from Holidor to Haunden for another prisoner. I would leave the decision on who that prisoner is entirely up to you, Mystic ShadowMask." (She is right now very unsure about how she feels about Busan.)

Shadowmask: "You may question Busan."
Shadowmask: "What will the Haunden do with Prisoners? You do not have access to markets to sell them in. You must be planning to sell them to us."

"But I do want to tell you about these others." (She will point to the prisoners she knows surrendered/cooperated--she is not pointing to Busan): "Mystic ShadowMask. These people I am pointing to surrendered and cooperated. Some of them defended themselves before surrendering, some tried to run away, and some surrendered immediately. But not a single one of them attacked a person of Holidor or Haunden after they saw the rebel sorcerer who had them under orders was down.
"As far as I can see, these people were following orders. But when they were free to do as they wished, they showed no signs of supporting the rebellion."

Shadowmask: "They are prisoners of war. They will fetch a good price.
We will not waste them on petty revenge."
