- Well, what the heck, where did I even step in this? - Goran grumbled, wiping the sole of his boot on the door of the barn, cleaning it from animal excrement. - What are you doing? Don't you have any shame? You'll have to clean the door later. You could have gone to wash it or at least wipe it on the grass, - Mironega began to scold her nephew, seeing what he was doing. - Oh, come on. There's crap everywhere, and this... it will dry and fall off by itself. Besides, there are more important things to do. They say we're going on a mission soon. - Look at you, all business. Missions don't excuse you from household chores, you live here too, just like everyone else. And they go on missions too. Goran just sighed hopelessly in response. - Okay, okay, don't sigh. Did you at least drink the potion? - Of course! I did it this morning. - Good, at least I don't have to remind you about that. The couple exchanged a few more phrases, after which Goran proudly strode along the path, and Mironega remained near the barn, perhaps to clean up after her careless relative.
I wouldn't fully rely on the Serpents. The Sun and Hand skills are definitely needed. Fog is interesting, but a 15% failure rate is too high. And I would still check Nal'iar's stats, you can take 50 gold from my stash.
/ Alex, quite the opposite. It's better to check those you trust _less_ more thoroughly./
Well, then, we conduct a full reconnaissance of the specified Clans.

Equipment Flawlessness (saber) Damage: 75 (123) Two additional attacks. Armor piercing. The character can parry any negative actions.
The red hand and the sun look like good options. The former pays more (75 gold versus 45), but the latter has no hidden drawbacks or inconvenient information. And, if desired, you can try hanging out with the bloodthirsty guys and get blueprints for gardens, extra experience, and another 15 coins. But I don't trust their leader. Burtharg is shady and pays little. The experience isn't impressive either. No other rewards. Two quests. But he is very dangerous, of course. And I don't think he will betray us outright. However, I fully expect some unpleasant ultimatums.
If you refuse quests, you won't earn money, experience, or build points.

Why not eliminate him before he eliminates us? Attack 3, wealth 100. Revan specifically added this option so that you can quickly accumulate starting capital and begin building. Since he is so formidable and intolerant, no one will be upset if he dies. Besides, he's evil.
Putting aside the obvious role-playing aspect, it's unlikely he'll personally greet us. And even if he does, he'll definitely be surrounded by a crowd of guards. But we'll need at least five attacks to take him down. Moreover, even if we kill him, he probably doesn't carry money with him. And the clan won't cease to exist; we'll just make new enemies. In short, let's stop drooling over his gear...
