Additional Question: So if we had a devil guide along, no matter who went there, we would be fine?: Yes.
Additional Question: What means is used to detect non-devils?: The magic Duke Malphas placed.
Additional Question: What's stopping some loser minion from triggering the defenses out of spite to get rid of an enemy with one of those torture chambers?: Nothing.
Additional Question: No review of it, either? So that cornugon we know of could keep on triggering it on and on until it starts getting ignored?: Unknown. It does not relay with the alert system, though our source suspects Gathgorian may be alerted, or another devil.
Additional Question: Hey, now that I think of it, were there any recent cases where the alarm got triggered? As in, do we know what happened for real instead of in theory? Does Gathgorian keep on rushing back every time?: Twice and he did not. Once was a mistake by a cornugon. He was punished for incompetence. Another was due to a renegade devil attempting to break into the keep. It was exterminated.

5a: What active defences (guards, patrols, fortifications) does the subject know of for the site: Three shifts of 33 cornugons on active patrol and 66 at rest at any given time. They follow a regular, precise pattern. 11 on the outer walls, 11 patrolling inside and 11 on flights above and around the Peak.
Additional Question: Is invisibility in any way viable, here?: No. The cornugons are all trained to see with their minds. Superior forms of invisibility or stealth are required.
5b: What activity is taken in the case of a large scale assault: All the cornugons take defensive positions, while alerts are sent. In the event of a serious attack, Gathgorian is to be notified.
Additional Question: Describe the defensive positions in more detail: "An outer wall 99 feet tall, with cannons that can channel and fire boiling adamantite. The courtyard is meant to hold serious assaults, with more adamantite cannons and defensive fortitifactions. Past that, the keep is constructed to have many choke points and defensible places, as well as one-way secret passages to allow troops to flank invaders that penetrate in that far.
Additional Question: How thick are the walls: Nine foot thick.
Additional Question: So what's a serious attack: Any demonic incursion, sight of outsiders above a stage 3 threat, mortal intruders or other forces that outnumber the defenders or penetrate past the courtyard.
Additional Question: What is a stage 3 threat: A stage 3 threat is an outsider above the station of a trumpet archon, an astral deva, a ghaele, a kolyarut, a green slaad, a nalfeshnee or an arcanaloth.
5c: What activity is taken in the case of an intruder being detected: An alert and immediate capture and interrogation. No more than 11 cornugons reply to any alert, unless more than 9 are dispatched.
5d: What are the response times for defences to engage an intruder after the first alert: Immediate.
Additional Question: Do the defenses count dead cornugons, or would anyone sent into slumber be counted as well? And are they in constant telepathic communication, or it's more like the Aurora's defenses?: Confirmed kills or incapacitation.
Additional Question: So things such as charm may work: They may.
Additional Question: How far does the teleportation ward extend from the Peak: 999 ft in all directions.

6a: Describe the layout of all site locations known directly: More information is provided in other documents. (Go see DM Nagging for maps.)
6b: Describe the layout of all site locations known indirectly:

7a: Does subject have any knowledge of pixie 'Ilsenine':  Yes.
7b: Describe source of knowledge: My spy within the Peak.
7c: Describe any interactions taken with regards to said pixie: She is held within Gathgorian's personal chambers. She is bound within the room by unknown means. Only Gathgorian is allowed in, and 33 of the 66 cornugons at rest are instructed to be at rest around the entrance to his quarters.
7d: Where is said pixie being held: See above.
Additional Question: Does he know anything about those personal chambers: There are nine interconnecting chambers for his personal chambers. It is believed that she is held in the third chamber. More details are unclear - even the cornugons are not often allowed into his chambers, and never past the third.

Additional Question: This guy mentioned attempts at indoctrination, so what was that all about: If Gathgorian can be brought to serve the True King of Hell, he is to be done so immediately. He is to be shown the infernal truth if viewed to be receptive. Analysis is currently ongoing. If he is not, at the proper time, Gathgorian must be eliminated so he is not an obsticle to the True King of Hell.
Additional Question: Is that 'infernal truth' something we can show devils: The Infernal Truth is the truth of who shall and must rule Hell, and tear down the false rule of the False King. Any right-thinking devil can and shall be indoctrinated. All others will be rent asunder.
Additional Question: Let's ask him about his anti-devil defenses for his demiplane, and how to make them for the Aurora! Or, I dunno, if we can make them mobile and use them to sneak into Gathgorian's place: (Note: Additional mental force was required for an answer.): My Master...I have studied it. It is...a ritual. I will write of it.
