: Yeah, but don't you think Ares' premise (that they're
: willing to talk in exchange for valuable info on the
: outside world) is workable for this level? We're not
: talking about adding this to the Myth canon, or
: anything.
: Ares, get over here and defend your plotline! :)

I don't want to get all pompous here but I thought I'd make a few suggestions for how to make everyone happy with this.
Surely the problem is small enough that it can be ignored for plot purposes... well, okay, nothing on the Asylum is ever let to just slip by. But it seems to me that if the Bestiary apprentice in the comic can actually get an in with the Trow--at a time when they were enemies of mankind!--then we're talking about some seriously brazen gonzo journalists, the Hunter S. Thompsons of the Mythworld.
Maybe this follows some seriously high-powered diplomatic talks between Alric's emissaries and the Bre'Unor. I'm thinking of gunboat diplomacy here--Alric's guys move in with some dispersal dreams and some bows of furious incandescence, the Bre'Unor might put up some serious resistance but in the end they'll sit down to talk. There just aren't enough of them to stare down all the Fir'Bolg and all of the Legion combined.
If you don't like any of the above... maybe the tale is told not to a human apprentice but to a young Bre'Unor who's been away for some time, or is being initiated as the new Gor'Ash, or whatever.
