"Meepo think questions... Who sent? Where take? What know about curse?" He looks to the others. "Meepo wonder if leave other questions to respond what learn from first three."
"Add to it "who are they". And not sure they call that thing on you "cure", they kept yelling "marked one", so, maybe ask "what this mark is" and all they know about it."
"Such forced answers can be evasive and annoying, specially if you are not precise. It may not be a who that sent them, it could have been a what. A prophecy or omen. Perhaps ask 'Why do you seek the marked one?' instead?" Ketch would offer. "Perhaps 'What is special about the marked one?" as well. I personally could care less about where they planned to take you, at least right now. If there is more of them there, we don't want to go there unless something about the precious answers give us reason to. So I would stick with those first two questions and formulate the rest based on the responses..."
"I could create a zone of truth, though I know not if it would have a chance of effecting the answerer of your questions... Though as I believe you can only compel answers and not the truth, it could possibly be useful..."

Thinking on it, Ketch departs the hut and goes to look about the battlefield for more enemy skulls. Preferably at least one each of a giant and an elf. He will then return to the hut, giving Laffa a sideways look as he does, and continue his rest.
Meepo will look like just a stranger, maybe the barkeep at the last inn or something like that. He doesnt' want to be someone the elf would have known in his life, or be someone the elf fought recently.
"Meepo nods to Ketch with a glance to the elf's corpse. "Meepo no can make tell truth, so zone of truth likely good plan." He glances to Mordekai. "Want cast illusion Meepo?" He will use Ketch's suggestions for the questions to ask for starters.
Ulthan goes to sit outside with the cat near the guy that led us here. He offers him a berry and he eats one as well as well as offering it to the cat. (goodberry). "hrmpfh not expected hrmpfh" he nods as if agreeing with his own comment... he scratches the cat's head and strokes its fur.
Within the sphere, Meepo casts zone of truth. Then Ketch casts Tongues on Meepo. Then Meepo casts Speak with Dead. With the spells cast, the dead body in front of him animates. As the creature is granted enough semblance of life to answer the questions, Meepo can feel that the thing somehow doesn't get caught up in his zone of truth. Perhaps it's not alive enough for the magic to take hold? Perhaps the spirit is speaking from beyond this world? Regardless, the tongues spell at least allows him to communicate, and you all recognize the words being formed are Sylvan, the common language in the Feywild. He proceeds with the first question, "Why do you seek the marked one?"
The corpse responds, "The Queen of Air and Darkness sent us from the Feywild to slay the marked one and steal back The Scrivener’s Tale. The Queen demands it, and so we respond."

(Ketch is the one that does Zone of Truth. Trickier correction, he doesn’t have Tongues available til after a long rest… so unless Meepo has? Didn’t someone have so we could speak to the army?)
(So, can anyone speak "fey" (aka Sylvan)? If not, I think it's "long rest" time! Speak with dead does not require concentration, and comprehend languages won't help it understand you.)

(Didn’t the elves speak common? Thought just giants spoke only Fey. But I could easily be wrong… no To gues til after a long rest. Though Ketch is gathering other skulls of available.)
Meepo follows up with the next question, "What is special about the marked one?"
The corpse responds, "The marked one will be compelled to release the Princess of the Shadow Glass from her prison to free themselves from the mark. The Queen of Air and Darkness seeks the marked ones capture, the books destruction, and the death of the marked one to ensure the Princess of the Shadow Glass is not released."

"Local politics". Lionel sighed. He expected something like this but would be happier if his expectations were subverted. "Do you think we can convince that Queen to work with us? Something like waiting fully prepared by the Princesse's prison ready to re-capture her as soon as we free Meepo from the curse? Would be so nice of her..." He did not believe, though, that was possible. "Meepo, can you ask where to find the Princess's prison? And maybe "how to free her" too."
"The princess is trapped within an extradimensional prison."
With that last, rather unsatisfying answer, Meepo's spell ends. It's been a very long rest here in the sphere, and despite the rather quick appearance of these assailants upon your arrival to this place, no further enemies have come seeking you while you rested. Meepo does pull up his shirt to check out his wounds from the battle and notices that the writing on his scales has crawled up to his midsection. He also feels a creeping sensation in his mind...and self-realizes he has a new power. Meepo can now Message at will, no components required.
Ready to resume their march to these ruins, following the map you have....you drop the sphere and get ready to move...leaving behind the dead bodies of the enemies...well....most of them. Two of the elves are now standing around waiting for Meepo's orders. Their flesh is withered by the powerful spell of death used to slay them.
As Meepo glances at them, a voice in his head speaks, "Suitable outcomes for supporters of the Queen of Air and Darkness. She is the tyrannical ruler of the Gloaming court and must be unseated. Only I can unseat her. Free me....and I will destroy her. Then you will have a powerful ally in the new Queen of the Gloaming court. An ally that....I think you may need. I am not the only power using you."

Who is Meepo going to look like for the questioning? First question or first few questions?

Meepo frowns. "Will queen send others to capture marked one?" Meepo asks his next question.
“Yes. She will never stop hunting the marked one.”

"hrmpfh maybe find out who queen before talk hrmpfh" says Ulthan at some point in time later.
"Would you attacked if known marked one wants destroy princess?" Meepo asks the dead elf.
"A marked one can be swayed by the princess, they could not be trusted."

"Meepo no swayed." Meepo grumbles half to himself. He considers, then asks his final question... "Where princess now?"
"The princess is trapped within an extradimensional prison."
