You explain that you have nothing to do with the people here, and that they are free to go. The prisoners waste no time in leaving. The tall man just looks at you and finally says, 'My name is Dugan Fritzpetter. I am a guide from Gideon who has gotten a bit too close to what they have hidden here. I owe you my life, but can only repay you with the little knowledge I have. I have heard that there are two exits from this place. Search carefully.'
