At first the old man hunches himself even more into the shell of his own making, muttering rasping sounds to himself in vain defiance.
But, as you wait patiently, he starts to open up somewhat to you. "You think you're on the right track ? Sojourners ? Pah! Sod joiners more like it! General Dynamical tricked you into following him has he ? Ha! You'll be let down, you'll be hurt."
He continues in a rasping, bitter tone,"I once had the zeal you have. Once I was like you, joyfully expectant of the wonderful destiny before me. But, I grew wise through experience. Friends became enemies. General Dynamical deserted me. Riches turned to bondages, and here I am, moping in a pit of bitter dispair!
What will you do ?
- Draw your sword and prepare to put him out of his misery.
- Drag Rettib out of the rocking chair and force him to go with you.
- Use something you have on you.
- Stop listening to him and look around the mansion.
- Hit Rettib hard in the face, hoping it will bring him to his senses.
- Take what he says to heart and give up your quest!
- Run out of the mansion just to stop hearing his nonsense!
