“Perhaps,” Alaria agreed distantly. Her pale face and glassy gaze made it clear that the Tanarian had not yet fully recovered from her encounter with the demon. “I will sit down. Just for a moment. To catch my breath.”

Do you usually eat lunch at the cafeteria or in the park?

In the dining hall, as Alaria recovered a bit.

In that case, I'll assume that at least all the NPCs have gathered there by now.
Falis called for everyone to calm down.
— Forgetting about the silver coins at the disposal of our greedy companion, I believe that, in the absence of other options, we should use the services of the girl we saw in the room to the right of the chess hall. No matter how absurd it may seem, right now it seems to me to be the only correct course of action. At the very least, we need to gain the goodwill of the owner of the house, as there is a high chance that there may be useful, and possibly even life-saving, information there.
— I agree," Sir Nisse Totentanz supported him, "but in addition to that, I want us to pay attention to two important points. First, given what happened in the south wing, we should refrain from exploring this complex in small groups. And secondly, we need to act together and share all our findings and any information, even the most insignificant. Otherwise, we all face an unenviable fate.

Reimian Empire: Ultimate Despair

-Yes, that sounds quite reasonable,” Elrina agreed after a moment of silence. “I’m not sure how many different… rooms there are in the southern dungeon, but judging by everything, if there is anything valuable there, it is guarded by dangerous and aggressive individuals with weapons, and besides, there is a demon trying to feast on your hearts. We barely managed to avoid death. As I said, exploring the south without weapons is not the best idea. As for the last point, as far as we can tell, only representatives of the faction designated for their wing can proceed further… past the entertainment rooms. Otherwise, intruders will lose consciousness and lose their life force. So, if we want to get out of this place, we need to distribute the resources evenly between the female and male groups. That’s all we were able to figure out.” Having finished her explanation, Elrina gave the others a chance to consider what she had said and, perhaps, offer some ideas.

“So, that’s how it is…” Falys pondered. “This isn’t very good. If the situation with the distribution of sectors in this complex based on gender is indeed true, and if we accept the ‘rules’ of this place and everything it offers, no matter how absurd and silly it may be, then it turns out that one half of the guests will not be able to help the other, and at the same time, without each other’s help, we will not be able to explore everything necessary.” “Whoever came up with this is a real sadist,” Beretta exclaimed. “Perhaps, but that’s not relevant right now. This division into groups also tells us about two important points. First, whatever rules are established in this place, we must follow them, regardless of whether we want to or not. And secondly… This means that the female half will not be able to trade with that strange girl from the medical room, nor will she be able to ‘help’ them if necessary.

-I don't quite understand which "girl" and what kind of help you're talking about, but it's probably that. The problem is also that it's very difficult to navigate in that dungeon right now. Perhaps the plan was that we could simply run away from all the monsters, or maybe a map would have helped. However, right now, I don't see any way for us to figure this out without taking a risk.

I'm going to sleep

“We need money,” Agam concluded, slamming his fist on the table.

Ples, Heroist, why didn't you let us kill Agam? I'm not arguing, he's amusing! But it would have been the most sensible thing to do; we could have bought something, and also looted him.
Since Aretz and Alex didn't reduce Agam's stats while they still could, I won't give my stats either.

Ples, Heroist, why didn't you let us kill Agam? I'm not arguing, he's funny! But it would have been the most reasonable thing to do; we could have bought something, and we could have looted him.

Because it would be a huge target on our backs (if anyone else finds out about Hastur). There's no guarantee that he won't be useful later. There's no guarantee that he won't buff some boss. And the loot might just disappear.

I won't give up my stats, just like Aretz and Alex didn't reduce Agam's stats while they could.

Nah, the girls won't have to sell their stats. We can't physically get to that shop.

Oh yes, you're right.

/ I can easily sell charisma, but it's not much money. Only 14 coins. You can also sell something else to get to 16-20, but anyway, the exchange rate is quite bad, so I wouldn't rely on it too much.
The good thing is that after buying a card for 50, you can ignore it and sell it for 150.
-- It's also worth remembering the room with the lever in the male part. And the room in the female part. The Vampire Prince has something important planned there. As for the possibility of exploring, we currently have two people who are armed and both are male. So, it is their responsibility to earn money for the women. We can also agree to the healer girl's offer, but again, only men. She can weaken us and give us silver for it. I would help a little, but I won't be of much use, even as a bargaining chip. We need someone else.

— If we collect six coins from each of us, it should be enough to either buy a map or a greeting, or basic equipment that we could switch between groups. — Sir Nisse Totentanz suggested. — And what about the females? — Agam asked. — Will they just sit around and enjoy the fruits of our efforts and sacrifices without contributing? That won't do... They should contribute something too.

-- For women to give something, they must first receive something. Your short-term strategy, Agam, hindered them in this. We'll have to supply them again; what can we do?
