I'm getting the feeling you just made it up to confuse us...

No... here's the solution.
Spoiler: The Answer!
Simply point at any of the three paths, and ask "If I were to ask you which path leads to the truth-tellers' village, how would you respond? Think about it! If whoever is talking to you is a liar, it would cancel out ("I wouldn't respond no), and if it's a truth-teller... well, nothing would happen.


Okay, now here's on I found online...

"You are the ruler of a medieval empire and you are about to have a celebration tomorrow. The celebration is the most important party you have ever hosted. You've got 1000 bottles of wine you were planning to open for the celebration, but you find out that one of them is poisoned.

The poison exhibits no symptoms until death. Death occurs within ten to twenty hours after consuming even the minutest amount of poison.

You have over a thousand slaves at your disposal and just under 24 hours to determine which single bottle is poisoned.

You have a handful of prisoners about to be executed, and it would mar your celebration to have anyone else killed.

What is the smallest number of prisoners you must have to drink from the bottles to be absolutely sure to find the poisoned bottle within 24 hours?"

This one's actually quite easy; if you think about it carefully.

None of them. Just look for the bottle that's opened.

:objection:
Spoiler:
The truth-tellers would say that they would say their path leads to the truth-tellers (ie, they are the truth-tellers).

Suppose the liars would lie by saying that the truth/lie-tellers are the truth-tellers; then saying that they were truth-tellers would be a lie (as they're saying they would say that they are the truth-tellers, but they would say the truth-lie tellers are the truth tellers).

The truth/lie-tellers can say that they are the truth-tellers too in the same way, if they lie when you ask them.

Therefore, it is very possible that if you ask that question, you'll get each one to say "Our path leads to the truth-tellers".



Anyway, you need 10 prisoners to check 1000 bottles.

Yeah, you got it. However (I should have been more specific, sorry) you can POINT at a path, and ask if it leads to the truth-teller's village.

Steven amd Carol are walking to the store. They hear people screaming, and see people running away. They get nervous, but keep going. When they get to the store, there's a murderer there. He pushes Steven and Carol to the ground next to the other 15 hostages. The murderer is going to kill Steven and Carol first. But he is a fair murderer, and tells the two that they have 5 minutes to escape. If the doors are locked, and Steve and Carol only have a glass fragment and a screwdriver, how can they escape.
Here's the map:

Obvious answer: Pretend to be fiddling with the locked door near the murderer to aid escape then BOOM! IN THE NECK WITH THE SCREWDRIVER/GLASS SHARD! Heroic praises for them both

Other answer: Glass shard from a window? Use the screwdriver to poke out extra pieces of glass and escape cut free.
