☀️ Arselia and Akonia Auto-translated

I'm fine with consuming charisma. I want to finish reading the books as soon as possible.

4 hours on Wednesday working in Chronos. It’s better to have 12 rem than zero.) But that’s not the main reason. Erephir is not only showing Quant that she’s alive and well, so he doesn’t have to worry, but she’s also trying to catch up on her work, and in her free time, she discusses a new modification of the Chainsaw with him. She wanted to finally create that legendary weapon, and the cosmic ore from Amamus could be very helpful in this, but she needed some advice from a mechanic on certain details.

– How are things, boss? Should we come up with something for Evgeny, or should he recover first?

Right now, Erephir will figure out how to make him a Darth Vader costume out of space ore, so he can get Kripov back in action right away.

- What should we get him, by the way? Some kind of protection? I think that would be a bit insulting. - A self-propelled knight's armor with a life support system! So he can get back into action right away! And some kind of menacing mask for the helmet! - Beata, are you serious? - Well... - I'm not sure if that's even possible... - But I believe in the boss's talent! - Me too, but he has reasonable limits. - Buzzkill... But the idea of protection is good, we could make some kind of amulet, or just a souvenir from all of us. I would forge him a cold iron one. - And then say, a tentacle. - No, a tentacle is for Brone," Beata said to Guion in a whisper and grinned lewdly. He just rolled his eyes.

- How are things, boss? Should we come up with something for Evgeny, or should he recover first?

-- Yes, I want to. But I'll need some consultation and possibly a little help!

- What should we come up with for him, by the way? Some kind of protection? I think that's a bit insulting.
- A self-propelled knight's armor with a life support system! So he can get back into action right away! And some kind of menacing mask for the helmet!
- Beata, are you serious?
- Well...
- I'm not sure if we can even do that...
- I believe in the boss's talent!
- Me too, but he has reasonable limits.
- Buzzkill... But the idea of protection is good, we could make some kind of amulet, or just a souvenir from all of us. I would forge him a chillblade.
- And then a tentacle.
- No, the tentacle is for Brone, - Beata said this to Guion in a whisper and grinned lewdly. He just rolled his eyes.

-- A self-propelled... Ta-da-da-da-da, -- the redhead immediately started sketching something in her notebook, and then abruptly stopped.
-- No, let's not do it now, maybe later. I already have a ton of unfinished projects, and the Patriarch wouldn't like it, he's clearly not into that. We need something heartfelt, something that would rekindle his love for Anush. Something that would make him believe in his own strength. Something that would remind him why he lives. That's why I need your help, as representatives of the faith, tell me about your symbolism, advise me on it. This item doesn't have to be a weapon or armor, I was thinking more about an accessory or a piece of decor. The latter would be especially stylish: imagine the Holy Father waking up from a severe, painful sleep and seeing something next to him on the nightstand... Warm, pleasant, filled with gratitude. What could it be? Maybe... a globe? A highly accurate replica of Anush, which can be held in the palm of your hand, it is so great and powerful, it carries everyone on itself, but at the same time it is so fragile and every person is responsible for it: isn't that a symbol? I would be touched, but maybe you think otherwise, or are there any religious restrictions on such images? Maybe there are other ideas? Tell me.

Beaya and Gillon rummage through their memories, trying to recall suitable religious symbols.

Basically, I'm investing 300 experience points into charisma. So, in the new phase, I'll have +2 Action Points, but I'm changing the banner to a figurine, which gives me -1 Action Point.

A self-propelled suit resembling a Frost Elemental.

You could also suggest a composition where Risha and Rinze are playing volleyball on the beach, tossing a ball over the net. Only the sea is cosmic, and the ball is Anuzish.

- If I needed someone's approval to overcome such doubts, the matter would be resolved in an instant, Shinpu. After all, Ravenage Lord, who surprised you so much, was the first person who tried to dispel my despair after this terrible revelation. Ironic, isn't it? Everyone is constantly complaining about him, and yet, he does something as humane as I would expect from you, for example," Miko smiled. "No, this is irrelevant. The last doubt I had when I came here, regarding my path and my place in the world, you have already dispelled. If my spiritual activity is not an administrative or paradigmatic problem for you, then this is the most I could dream of, I don't need anything more. The problem lies elsewhere. I didn't want to talk to you about this so as not to spoil your mood, but you are looking so intently into my soul that I can no longer avoid this issue. And perhaps you are right. As the new patriarch of all Welferna, you must be aware of what was left to you by your predecessors, don't you?

After a pause, which a simple person might consider dramatic, but in reality, she was just gathering her thoughts, she continues in a voice loud enough that no one but her direct interlocutor could hear:
- On the territory of the empire, there is a cult called the "Coven of Passion." It is engaged in summoning souls from other worlds and subjecting them to torture, inhumane experiments, and other perversions that I cannot bring myself to name. Where does such a scenario of the existence of aliens in Anuzish fit into your dichotomy with Bruno? This is not a trick question, it's just rhetorical. I cannot go into details, but I will say that my friend was their victim, and she only managed to escape by a miracle. In the coming days, we, and a few other people, intend to raid it, put an end to it, and punish the guilty. I know that this will not be easy, and there is a high chance that we will perish there. But even if not... Its location is, presumably, not too far from the capital - somewhere in the Risser zone... lang? Is that what the city is called? Geography is not my strong point. By the most modest estimates, it has existed for at least several decades, and most likely much longer. Among its supporters are Wizards, wealthy and noble people, plus the very possibility of constantly summoning aliens implies a certain scenario. Do you understand the depth of this rabbit hole? Where was your "heretic hunter" in the last half-century when his presence was really needed? I don't believe that an operation of this scale, so long in duration and so close to the capital, could have existed all this time without the attention of the church or the top officials of the state. If we succeed in what we have planned, I cannot predict the possible catastrophic consequences. If not, and this leads to the death of these people, or my friend ends up back in the clutches of these demons forever, then it will be even more tragic. But it is also impossible to ignore this, there is no other option. Therefore, as a colleague to a colleague, and as a person to a person, allow me to ask one more rhetorical question - am I obliged to feel peace and joy in my soul, knowing what awaits us? No matter how sincerely I strive for it? This is the source of my skepticism.

And I'm reserving the Baldur's skill for 3800 right away before I get too slow, 156 OP should remain.

Which of the two?

Scout

The character is invisible to the enemy.
Camouflage check: character's agility*2 versus enemy's perception.

The character can spend a turn to restore the camouflage status.
- Saboteur
Attacks from stealth deal triple damage.

Path of Air

Yes, I didn't expect to see the title I dropped.

Let's keep it without timers for now.

Beaia and Ghyon rummage through their memories, recalling suitable religious symbols.

There is a banner, but there are no personal or interior symbols. From the perspective of the Encyclopedia, there is no point in such things, because people are already surrounded by Anuzish.

Lol, yeah, I just remembered about the banner.
