Many of us were in the middle of something quite important. That seems to matter very little to this 'lord'.
Though your weapons are blunted, they need not be useless. I cannot begin to understand why he would leave us them, unless perhaps he did not wish us to be entirely defenseless.
As to your other questions, I'm afraid I so far have very little answers as to why we are here or how we can escape. I can warn you that this place itself has its own dangers. There are deadly creatures in the forest, and strange things seem to happen here. Most recently, an outbreak of an illness that caused victims to turn into what was called a 'zombie'.

I have so far found even blunt weapons to be of use on a number of occasions.
[There's a pause on his end as well, as he checks to be sure he's gotten the word correctly.]
Yes. That is what I was told they were called, at least, though I had not heard of them before I came here. Quite a number of people were affected, either by the illness, or at the mercy of those who were. But it seems to have resolved itself.
There, there. A blunted weapon's not half bad. Have you ever complained about a blunt club? 1
1 - There's an old debate about the broadsword being an iron club that a warrior polished a mite too long. It's all a lie, of course. The first broadsword was only a toothpick old Jabor used after he inflated himself and ate a half dozen war-crazed tribes. Trust me. I was there.
Indeed. I'm often putting proof in the pudding that you can be sharp without something as inelegant as a weapon.
Far too large to make his post-chieftain belching tolerable. 2
2 - As I recall, his flatulence that day was no less pleasant and actually felled an entire forest. Mind, his essence paid the price for it. A djinni cannot stretch itself that far without consequence. In Jabor's case, he reinforced it with the absorbed humans, but between the work and indigestion, he was unfit to summon for two centuries.

I'll consider it lucky that I arrived afterwards then.

Is there anyone we can talk to around here to get answers, then?

Just about everyone around here has some answers. There's staff too but I don't know what they know. Don't really talk to them much.

Guess I'll have to ask around then. Would you happen to know where I could get some food?

Who is Jabor and how big was he that his toothpick could be used as a broadsword?

I feel a bit silly asking this, but what is a djinni?
[Just listen to her butcher that word terribly. She's never been the best at folklore.]
