>What do we know about Adustus in the hypothetical question exists? How did we plan to subdue it and remove the scales?
>Who was the client and did we know anything about what their goal was?
>How did we get into this prison?
>What did we do while waiting?
>What was our original plan?
>Was anyone helping us with this plan? Do we know anyone in the dungeon who would be a potential ally or who might know anything?
>Do we know who the boss is? Do we know or recognise these two guys?
>It was a fire-breathing wyvern that terrorized several villages in the southern regions of the kingdom roughly two decades ago. Two villages and a squadron of knights lost their lives as the king felt that the issue could be handled without the help of that generation's hero.
>Eventually, the king asked the hero for help and the wyvern was captured. It was then brought into the dungeon to be studied by the king's researchers.
>The king, not wanting the people to realize that his pride had caused him to waste both lives and money spread misinformation regarding the wyvern until it was considered to be a simple fairy tale.
>The wyvern itself was not particularly powerful when compared to dragons and the like, what made this wyvern special were its scales. Grey in color, nobody, barring the previous generation's hero, has managed to find a way to reliably damage them.
>There should be plenty of samples from the wyvern in the research lab located at the entrance to the labyrinth. Given that some of the people who work there owe you much more than simply their lives, taking a few scales from them doesn't seem too difficult.
>You had seen the client multiple times, clinging to
that mage, but had never dealt with her directly until that point. She was considered to be his most talented pupil, despite her lazy demeanor and refusal to do anything resembling work or study.
>You do not know what her goal was but something at the time told you that the end result would be amusing, profitable, or both.
>In order to get into the labyrinth, you asked for a favor from one of your old friends, N.
>N, or Nuri, is the head of the Black Talons, a mercenary group few have heard of, and helped to smuggle you into the prison.
>There wasn't much to do other than wait. You had already organized everything with your secretary regarding your absence beforehand.
>The original plan was to simply get into the prison, wait until you were freed, then take a short detour into one of the monster research labs before simply walking out.
>Other than N, who helped you to get into the prison and should also be helping to get you out, you have not involved anyone else in this plan. It's a simple and short one, after all. Your secretary should be more than capable of managing your business for two weeks.
>Of course you know who the boss, N, is.
>You've seen the red haired man delivering messages to N on occasion, you think he might be an instructor of some sort.
>The blonde haired man is unfamiliar to you.
