🔥 Иказкан -> Тезот

During a rather long journey, the trio bypasses numerous traps on their way to the headquarters of the "Fire of Civilization" Community and eventually finds themselves in a well-fortified settlement – it was surrounded by a wall from floor to ceiling, as well as a "moat" (chasm) – thus, the only way to get inside was via a drawbridge. In addition, the underground rock itself had strategically placed recesses for crossbowmen, who were ready to turn both people and wild monsters into Swiss cheese.
- Well, welcome. - said Hat, giving the new comrades a moment to appreciate the rare sight in the underground world. - Now this will be your new home.

- Hmm... Last time there were... two Sords. More precisely, two and a half. One is sitting there, eating. The second... who knows where... As well as half of him...
- Two Elms. More precisely, an Elm and an Elm-female. One just left, and the other is having fun somewhere with a half-Sord...
- A cripple with a "bandage"... Not the best "escort"...
- And a brain-crusher with a head injury and a confused one. He has already "chosen a side"...
- There was also some kind of ugly guy... I don't know where he is now... And a pumpkin-headed gardener.
- And a mutantophile here. He promised to help me with the books, but where he is now... who knows...

- So, it turns out, we have... approximately no options... Well, if you don't have any acquaintances in mind, then all that remains is to wait... I definitely won't find a dozen "souls"...

- We can look for the gardener; as far as I remember, he was interested in helping the cats, which means there is a non-zero chance of convincing him to accompany us. But Ikazkan does not limit himself to this group.
