[@Sophrus] I mean, you're probably right. The one guy being down doesn't help Lucius in his immediate situation, but it's probably made it somewhat less perilous for him by removing one individual from the equation. Sorry if I sound like I'm being a jerk for no reason, basically, to you and to anyone else; I'm apparently bad at handling failure on my part in ways that don't involve being angry about it.

[@Wraithblade6] Lucius is "trying not to be pro-Chaos" as far as alignment goes. That doesn't necessarily imply being pro-Imperium, but for now, it's close enough to the truth. As for them talking, Lucius is not particularly inclined to trust anyone, let alone people crazier than him, and especially not people who pose a threat to his well-being that he can't realistically control or eliminate.
