So, what are the final suggestions? We wait for the merchant from the police, buy the forum, sell items, pay him for the prison, build an outpost, scout (?), and then go on a mission (where?).

Why don't we move the discussion to a private chat?

exploring (?)

I don't see the point. Unless someone is still hoping for the traveler's quest.

going on a mission (where?)

We're helping Sharron again. 57 coins and a lot of experience, not to mention the continuation of the Heckel storyline.

Ah, I have a feeling that our storyline will end in neutral lands with some fun little snakes.

Why don't we move the discussion to the Dark theme?

Translate it)

While planning the finances at the "Iron Hearts" base, a business-looking Yarliyan arrived, carrying a briefcase and armed (it was a sniper arquebus).


Having secured an audience, the newcomer got straight to business.
-- My name is Albert, and I am here representing the interests of a certain individual named Tiril. As far as I know, one of the representatives of this organization, Alicia, should be acquainted with her. To avoid any doubt, I have a letter from Tiril addressed to Alicia, -- Albert took out the letter and handed it to those present. -- In general, the letter contains minimal information, but I would still like to convey everything verbally.

Tiril, according to what Alicia might remember, was a young and utterly insane Freshian girl who could never stay in one place. Tiril was associated with all sorts of wild stories: how her parents drove entire armies of forest traders out of Freshia, drowned vampires in ponds, stuffed Visterians into hollow trees to eat them during the hungry winter and gain their power—and Tiril herself acted in many similarly crazy ways. But the fact remained that she was quite skilled with a weapon—a two-handed one. This was atypical for Freshia, as if something from those Visterians supposedly eaten by her parents had indeed been passed down to her.

-- To get to the point. Due to certain life circumstances, I am responsible for this Tiril. It was my duty and my promise to a certain person. However, Tiril has gotten into trouble in Boria, which I personally cannot resolve with the resources available to me. However, both I and the aforementioned Tiril possess certain skills. I have skill in trade, as well as, to a lesser extent, firing firearms. She is a melee fighter, and if I understand correctly, Alicia can vouch for that. I offer you a contract according to which both she and I will work for your organization, but I need a sum of money to get her out of prison. 8 gold coins. Of course, it's not a small amount, but this is the first installment, which we will compensate from our earnings until it is fully paid off. In exchange, I will perform financial operations for you free of charge and participate in combat if required. So that you can decide right now, here is more detailed information on the two of us:

	Origin	Skills	Beliefs	Perks	Stats	Inventory
Tiril	Freshia +6 to movement speed, +2 to evasion for each unit of agility	— Demonic Cleave — Moon Strike — Special Technique — Thousand Winds	(+agility)		Strength: 50 Intelligence: 5 Will: 5 Agility: 50(+25) Perception: 5 Wisdom: 30 Charisma: 5	— Two-handed sword — Money (held by Albert)
Albert	Yarliyan Republic Merchant or Weapon Master perk, +10 to charisma, +2 to accuracy for each unit of perception when using firearms	Special Technique — Sniper Arquebus Medicine — Trainer + Massage	(+perception)		Strength: 30 Intelligence: 5 Will: 5 Agility: 5 Perception: 50 (+25) Wisdom: 5 Charisma: 50 (+10)	— Sniper — Briefcase with a bunch of letters, recommendations, business information, and so on — Money for two

-- My plan is simple. With the funds available, I will travel to Boria and pay the bail for my ward. Then we return. You may doubt my honesty; however, I never break contracts. I hope these letters of recommendation (with the address of traders in the Yarliyan Republic specified therein) will dispel some of your doubts. I also find it fair if an escort—one or several—accompanies me on the mission for control purposes. Although I would also understand if you decide not to spend time on this "mission," and I will accept a refusal. In this case, I am not haggling; I am making a concrete offer with concrete consequences, and the decision is entirely yours. I hope it will be positive.

If anything is wrong from a gameplay perspective, Revan can correct it.

Should Tyril be a dwarf with mutant proportions?

Well, it's just a drawing; it's simply the style...

It's not a style, it's just bad design, pal. The guy can't handle proportions.

I don't know why you're so attached to the gray font. Besides making it easier to distinguish between role-playing and non-role-playing information, especially when both are present in the same message, it doesn't have any other purpose.

Yes, Ment, the girl's proportions aren't very good.
I'm also willing to spend money on buildings, if needed.

Ment, would you mind if I roleplay that I know your guy? My boyfriend seems a bit bored.

After all these events in Heckelia, Jert was glad to be back at base. He felt comfortable and at ease there. Although, he wouldn't mind staying if Relhiras agreed to the new position.
The news that a certain Jarl named Albert had approached the "Iron Hearts" somewhat cheered up Jert. The young man felt that this might be someone he knew, so he went to find out what could have brought his fellow countryman there. The young Jarl's assumptions turned out to be correct; it was indeed someone he knew who had visited the "Iron Hearts."
Jert had known Albert for a long time, as the latter had collaborated with the Kaiser family on several occasions. In addition to simple business cooperation, Albert often visited them to chat with Jert and his father, as well as to enjoy the excellent dishes prepared by Ulrika.
The young man arrived just as Albert was explaining his request to give him money for bail for his acquaintance.
-Albert, my friend! - Jert greeted his guest with a friendly pat on the shoulder. - I'm glad to see you! What happened to your acquaintance that she was arrested and with such an exorbitant bail?

In short, for the future, here's what I'm happy to give money for: buildings, helping allies with something important (including buying extremely necessary items), and necessary expenses of the "need to urgently buy a map or a great book, etc." type.
What you shouldn't spend money on without me: hiring half-pokers for 5-6 gold, gambling, lottery.

For the most fun things.

I agree, they're fun. But they're never advantageous.

-- A sacrifice? Hmm, -- Albert seemed to recall something, noticing a familiar warlord in the "Hearts" gang. -- I find this a fortunate coincidence. Didn't he start his own business? And how are his parents doing? As for the acquaintance, it's simple – a minor dispute, a quarrel on the border. In normal countries, it would be two or three days of administrative arrest. But we're talking about Boria.

- With my parents... - Jert hesitated for a moment. - Well, everything is fine with my father! But as for my mother... you know her character. Recently, she wanted to arrange my marriage to some daughter of one of her friends, what was her name again... - The young man pondered, trying to remember which family his mother wanted to match him with. - Well, in short, it didn't work out. But imagine, I recently went hunting and shot two huge wolves. It's true that they, along with their friends, almost turned me into their dinner, which made me almost soil my pants, but those are just minor details of life. But you should know how soft the fur of these creatures is.
Unfortunately, Jert didn't bring the prey with him, so Albert had to be content with just hearing about it.
-And regarding business, that's exactly why I'm here. We're planning to expand the Kaiser enterprises, so my father and I decided that I need to look for places where we could open a subsidiary. At the same time, I'll avoid any dubious marriage arrangements. In short, I'm combining business with pleasure.
The information that Albert's friend is in prison in Boria somewhat discouraged the jarl. Who would think of getting involved with those crazy people? However, he didn't have a prejudiced attitude towards all Borians; after all, his companion Goran, who travels with his old woman, seemed like a very amusing and quite decent guy. At least, he wasn't causing any harm.
- Yeah, your friend really got herself into trouble. But I can't leave a friend in trouble, so I'll help you in any way I can! And when you return, you can help me choose the best location for my potential enterprise. After all, you've always been better than me when it comes to financial matters.

In short, Jert is funding the ransom for the Tyan named Menta. Otherwise, our treasury is already in a bad state.
