Sophos is sent off to Brimedius without enough soldiers and counts on Gen to provide him with more help when he makes his final stand at Oneia against ten thousand Medes. He breaks the truce at Eisa, kills an unarmed man, and shoots an ambassador. If you accept that most of what happens in these chapters is due to the plan Gen and Sophos dreamed up in the wine shop, how is this plan, compared to all the other stupid plans? Let’s review…
Stealing the king’s seal, bragging in a wineshop, getting sent to Sounis’s prison Depending on a fallen tree bridge you’ve constructed in order to escape the queen’s soldiers Sneaking into Attolia’s megaron just because your queen asked you to Sneaking back into Attolia’s megaron after she’s cut off your hand Sneaking into Attolia’s bedroom while she’s sleeping and leaving her presents Kidnapping the queen and getting her to accept your marriage proposal when you didn’t really think about being king Demanding an answer from the gods Jumping over atriums 4 stories up, just because Taunting a member of your guard into slugging you, in order to change the mind of the man next to him (and reduce the guard by half) Jumping around on crenellations when you’re drunk Agreeing to fight the entire king’s guard when you have a hangover and want breakfast
