Wirlpakura tells you that his mistress was Kara, maiden of the republic.  They were accompanied by Karl, her brother, a knight of the republic; Anders a huntsman; Tarin a cleric of Han~Sui; and a Gremlin named Vrik.

When was this entourage put together? What time period were you all adventuring together?

Rano asks Wirlpakura what it's capabilities are. If it lapses into Island, I'm able to translate what the words/phrases mean.

What powers do you possess?

How strong are you as a sword and what requirements must one have to wield you?

Can you penetrate the wild magic veil that covers this land?

Can you grant those who wield you additional powers or magic capabilities?

Does one require an Iottian ring to cast through you?

Do you require any general upkeep to maintain functionality such as magic components, blood sacrifice, or one's life force?   

Would you be willing to travel with us and allow us to utilize your abilities? (I tell it what we're here to do and that it's an honorable rescue mission of an innocent victim)

Does it know if these contagious creatures beyond the walls have any weaknesses?

Are there any additional entrances, hidden or otherwise, to this complex that we could use to rescue Taye?

What happens when you're infected by one of these creatures? How long does one have before turning into one of them?

I don't know exactly how long I've been here, nothing happens to let me know how time has passed.  But we left the republic in the summer of 816.

"Although I prefer Wirlpakura, you can call me Wirl.  Wind Streaker if you must. I'm not from Iott, so I don't' know a lot about the nation.  I can help you fly and defend you from attacks.  I can detect some dangers nearby.  Creatures of the dark earth and some lower planes are my main foes.  What skills do you have?"

"None in particular.  They are changed a but from when we fought them centuries ago, and even then they were formidable.  They don't regenerate, which my friends have always said is one of the greatest challenges to deal with when fighting beasts.  They can't be hidden from, they are extremely quick.  They can't be deceived by magic and their minds are impervious to telepathy.  They can climb like spiders, but they can't fly."

"We came in the main door here and never had the need or the chance to find any other entrances or exits"

I assume there is no rush to move on.  Wake ask Windstreaker if knows it ways through the prison.  Figment flies around and ask it questions interrupting people when he gets excited and being his general enthusiastic self.  Here are figment's questions if we get to all of them:

Do you ever get dizzy from being swung around all the time?
If you could pick your own wielder, would you choose someone stylish or someone strong?
Do you dream when you're in your scabbard? If so, what about?
If I tied a tiny cape around you, would you feel more heroic?
Can you taste things and I try to press food against windstreaker?
Do you like your current name, or would you prefer something fancier? Like Sir Stabbington the Soaring?
Do you get ticklish if someone polishes you too much?
What’s the silliest battle cry you’ve ever heard?
Have you ever been used for anything other than fighting? Like slicing cake?
Do you ever feel bad about cutting things, or is it just in your nature?
Are there other talking weapons out there? Do you all have a secret club?
What’s the weirdest thing someone’s ever said to you while swinging you in battle?

"It used to be longer, if I recall correctly.  But Kara and I had less than a day out here before..."

"No.  Do you ever get dizzy flying around?"

not usually but sometimes.  Figment does a figure skater spin in the air and the wobbles as Figment flies in around again.
