I remain in awe of your unrivaled self-esteem and your utter confidence that trekking into an enemy lair by yourself is a sound strategy. I would warn you, Mister Istrad, that in this instance it seems to be you who is set on blithering on.
This matter is settled. The Council will brook no further argument, and no further disrespect. Should you have a complaint, you are more than welcome to take it up with the Guildmaster. I wish you luck.
