I admit I castrated and harmed the goblins, but surely I don't deserve to be punished this harshly, do I?
It's not my fault I worship the King in Yellow! You took the medicine that made you dream of R'lyeh, so what does that have to do with me? If Nyarko is causing trouble, go find him. I'm a victim too!
And those great figures! Aren't great figures supposed to drive the progress of civilization? Why am I also responsible for their food, clothing, housing, and transportation?
Can't I get a reliable great figure to carry me to victory?
The world is already so dangerous. If I don't get savage, who's going to talk to me about civilization!
