"I'm not kidding!" The Imperial spat. "He's a maniac! No one even knows why they arrested him, it's that bad! You gotta get to him before he gets you, I'm tellin ya!"

"We're going on a mission to kill Goriyn," Dar'Zah explained.

Tullius grabbed his brandy and took a swig before belching. "No."

"Why not?"

"I'm in no condition for that nonsense anymore," He explained. "These old legs can barely support me anymore..." He nodded to his cane, propped up in the corner against the wall.

"Yeah well Hafnir wants to see you, so-"

"Tell him he can come down here and have a chat with me if he cares so damn much."

"He can't. He's off chatting with Macenus."

"Ha!" Tullius snorted. "What a waste of time that is, huh? Talking with Macenus, you can't talk to him! I learned a looong time ago, there's no reasoning with the insane. None. And that damn Imperial is insane. Sits high and mighty in this chamber, pretending everything is fine and that he's a god, while world around him goes to shit!"

"I ain't here to deba-"

"He was supposed to have put an emperor on that throne, but has he?" Tullius shook his head. "Of course not, that'd take his power! And god knows he can't lose his power. Else people would see him as weak!"

"That's great, but-"

"And all his cronies in that chamber are the same. 'Oh, Mr. Wise Macenus, what would ever do without your wisdom and bravery? Have a functioning military? The respect of people? Oh, who would want that! Thank you for keeping this place a shithole, old wise one!"

"Mhm, yes, now-"

"And then there's that damn rebellion he ain't done shit about! In my youth, I would've-"

"SHUT UP!" Dar'Zah finally snapped, banging his fist on the table. "You're coming with us, you old codger!"

Tullius took another swig from his brandy. "Give me one good reason why."
