- But what about... what about half of our squad? - Gion was worried. - We... you definitely aren't a threat to Anuzish.
- Quite the opposite! - Beata scoffed. - All sorts of hopeless dragons and crazy guards are a much bigger threat!
- A priest wouldn't hurt us, - she said, summarizing. - Just a normal one, like Eugene. Who won't chase after half the squad with a censer.
- We definitely need mages, it's not good to put all our magical needs on Kilika alone, she could use a partner! And besides... we could use a musician, a psychiatrist, or a biologist. The musician will inspire us in battle with his music, the psychiatrist will help us get to know new acquaintances better, and the biologist... what if, like with Gion, we end up somewhere in the middle of nowhere with our luck.
It would also be worth taking care of the survivability of our squad, I would enchant the working armor of our front-line fighters with health regeneration. Buy some medical supplies...
Beata thought that it would be nice to organize a small circus performance to lift the spirits of the townspeople, but she decided that she didn't have the strength or time for it, and she became discouraged.
- What's wrong? - Gion asked.
- Never mind... I'm just being silly again.
- Beata...
- I decided that since the theater is destroyed, maybe we should organize something similar? An improvised theater or circus. People need to rest and have fun... But I probably won't have time, and I'm a terrible organizer.
- That's a very worthwhile idea! Art is very important! Even if we don't do it now, we should definitely plan to restore the cultural life of Margel in the future!
- If you think so, - she smiled.
- Unfortunately, in my world, we haven't heard of such a type of undead. So I can only rely on local information from publicly available sources. We know that Monogat was a powerful spellcaster in life, and therefore this type of undead is also appropriate, inaccessible to ordinary mortals. My experience with one extremely unpleasant warlock confirms this. He said that he "would be perfectly suited to become a lich." We also know about Monogat's nickname - "Many-Faced." In the context of my knowledge of dark spellcasters, I dare to suggest that our "lich" is able to jump between the bodies of his puppets, and even more. We also know that he is able to turn people into undead, snatching them from the cycle of souls. That is, to some extent, you are right, and manipulation of souls does indeed take place. It is logical to assume that the nature of the lich enhances his magical abilities. At least in this area. The problems arise from how we can overcome such a potentially immortal opponent. Perhaps some way of catching souls would help, preventing him from escaping into a new shell? In any case, even if my assumptions are correct, I doubt that the Stone of Akonia will jump between bodies with him. This means that somewhere there must be a "main" body - Monogat's vulnerability, which he must hide somewhere. But all my assumptions about him are based on assumptions. I believe that Her Majesty may be able to tell us more about this opponent.
-- Sounds interesting, I agree with many of the assumptions. I would really like to know this: does such an opponent really need to "jump" his soul between puppets, or can he just be in all of them at the same time? Also, the vessel of the soul must be conditionally "alive", or are objects also suitable? The worst-case scenario may suggest that a truly powerful lich is practically invincible, because we will never find all of his vessels, scattered across the face of Anuzish.
-- The main vulnerability, as usual in such cases, could be a priest? I think, as suggested, we will eventually agree to recruit one.
- Continuing the topic of Neferia. As far as I know, the miasma created by Monogat covers the entire territory of the kingdom and turns anyone who enters his territory into a walking dead. Protection against curses and diseases seems to be something critically important for confronting such an opponent. Our patroness probably has some ideas about this, but that doesn't mean we should sit around and wait for something to happen. It's better to be safe than sorry.
- And now let's discuss the common types of undead

Alaria finished her lecture with stories about the methods that were used against the undead and necromancers in her native Thanaris. Any knowledge could be useful in the upcoming conflict.
While the others were discussing the undead, Klin also filled out a test.
-- And Alaria is our colleague-commander. I bet you had to take responsibility in the past?
