Once Gwennid relays this, the tooth fairy monarch strokes his very long, thin moustache and then holds up a finger. He speaks at length to Gwennid, who in turns relays in chunks what the prince says.

"Since we won't pay him directly, he says we can pay in a 'small task,' instead. He says that his mother, Queen Carnassial, refused to honor his rightful claim as ruler, so the prince confined her to the castle’s upper level. She has been causing problems, however, yet it is not dignified to commit matricide. If the PCs eliminate her instead, the prince will grant us the passage stamp we seek. He will give us the key to the door to that area."
