>The party’s centurion seems to have an eye for men in need of a serious change of fortune and personally introduces himself to you, offering to buy you some wine
>As the night goes on, and you listen to the man’s continued promises of riches and glory, easily relaxed by the undiluted restina, you consider for the first time in your life military service
