Yes... You're right, of course. I have no leverage. Destroying your guild in Bthuangthuv would end nothing. Like mushroom after rain, a new guild chapter would appear to take its place. But you forget one thing. You murdered Dervara Diron. A true son of Resdayn would never surrender to a murderer of his native kin. You may very well kill me, but I will gladly die for vengeace.

You... you would use my own reasoning against me? Damn my tongue. I talk too much, indeed. You're right, of course. I have no leverage. Destroying your guild in Bthuangthuv would end nothing. Like mushroom after rain, a new guild chapter would appear to take its place. You have no reason not to kill me here and now. So, in order to save my life, cowardly though it may be, I accept these new terms. I will go to Fort Ancylis and face justice. An Imperial jail cell is better than death.

Trying to use my own words against me? I reject your proposal. The terms stay as they are. Now, do you accept the new truce or not? Give me an answer.

Hmph. The terms stay as they are. Now, do you accept the new truce or not? Give me an answer.

Why would I ever do that? I might agree to a life in prison, if I was without any other option. But I'm not. Remember that I hold your thief friends in Bthuangthuv hostage. I could have them all killed and destroy your guild for good. That's plenty of leverage.
