"Don't be so aggressive, I came in peace, and I can help you, but with what?" - I address the tree...
-With nothing... leave here in peace... while you still can!!! My branches remember the echoes of time; one more barbarian won't change the fate of the world....

It's evening, and you, the one who decided to discuss the attack strategy with the squad commander, enter his tent.
- May your beauty be as gentle as the emerald foliage in spring! - The Elf greets you (his name is Silioen).
- And to you, eternal youth. I came to discuss tomorrow's assault... perhaps you can suggest something?
- I don't know; I have little experience in taking cities... we mostly fight in the forest. But I have something to offer you ;) - He winks conspiratorially.- The fact is that my brothers have been fighting against the spawn of Urgash in this area for a long time. My squad and I, by order of the Elven King, are responsible for maintaining peace in this part of the Irrolan border. We went on a reconnaissance mission, and I and 5 of my companions fell into a demon trap. Fortunately, the forest protected me and two of my comrades; we managed to kill several demons controlling the trap and wanted to escape, but they sent their hounds after us... unfortunately, you can't hide from these sensitive creatures behind a tree :) and that's how we met you. So, I'm telling you all this because not far from here is the camp of my squad of Rising Sun border guards. And they will gladly join us in your noble cause. What can they do to contribute to the success of the operation? (There are about 2-3 dozen elves in the camp, a quarter of a day's journey from you).
-Oh! This is wonderful!!! I thank you very much! We have a plan, and your squad will be a great help to us...I begin to explain the assault plan to the elves and their role...
-Oh! Now I see that we didn't meet by chance! Undoubtedly, the demons are strong, and we will do our best to help you!!!
Then we need to send a messenger to your friends... I think it should be one of you - they won't believe the others.
-Oh yes, certainly...
-And also - is there a healer among you? As you have heard, my friend was wounded, and we cannot understand who or how he did it...
-Oh, don't worry. - exclaimed one of the elves. - Our herbs will quickly restore him! Let's go....
An hour later.
Viz is still feeling bad... he is delirious.... The elven remedies helped him, but it's as if something is tormenting him... Once again, I look at him - yes, this is not just a wound... Someone is interfering with him... Someone's strong influence on the brain of my poor friend does not allow him to find peace...
I must definitely help him! I concentrate... nothing happens... I put in more and more effort. Finally, words begin to form in my mind.
-Cancel the assault... Retreat, lord... Retreat...
Yes, someone's magic is very strong... Poor Viz... but I'll help him... hold on!
I whisper a prayer from an ancient ritual of Exorcism... May his consciousness be freed!!!!! I am as if creating an invisible barrier around him... now no one, not even the most powerful mage, can penetrate his consciousness... Gradually, he falls asleep peacefully.
But I am almost at my limit... I have very little strength left; tomorrow is the assault - I need to save my energy!
I ask the approaching dwarf for water - it will help me... Indeed - just a few sips - and I feel much better!
But it's time for me to rest too... at dawn (and there is very little time left until it) - we set off!
