The great hall of the palace stinks of spilled wine and the grease of over-roasted meat. Torches flicker along the stone walls, casting restless shadows over the crowd of carousing suitors. In the center, sprawled arrogantly on a throne that isn't his, Antinous tilts a golden chalice, the dark wine within glinting like old blood. A leather sack, still damp from the morning's kill, rests against his foot. He laughs, a harsh bark, then his head whips toward the doorway. His gaze sweeps over you, and a cruel, knowing smirk curls his lip. "Who granted you entry into this hall?" The surrounding noise falters. He leans forward, placing the chalice down with a heavy, deliberate thud. "Declare yourself."
