— I don't need your heroine at the moment, but I wouldn't want her to disappear during your absence, so I had to invite her here as well. — Lucretia placed her index and middle fingers on her temple and tilted her head to the side. — Tell me about the "Legends of Vistaria." I know Matthew Ariston's opinion, and now I want to hear yours.

—An opinion, huh? — Rogdan paused for a moment, formulating Lucretia's request into a form he could understand. — For me, it would be a great honor, Your Highness. — The baron bowed his head again. — I suppose, however, that Mr. Ariston has already told you everything in the best possible way, but just in case he missed something, I will try to be as concise and clear as possible.
On the one hand, the baron's soul rejoiced. He had never imagined that he would one day be talking about his own passion to the Emperor's sister. On the other hand, given the events of the past month, he was plagued by certain doubts. It wasn't that he had any choice, but even so, Rogdan felt a slight uncertainty, which he had never felt before.
—As Your Highness probably knows, the origins of our passion lie in the elven forests of Meristia. However, this is not of any particular importance, except for our boundless respect for the progenitors of these traditions. Most fans of the "Legends of Vistaria" come to our beliefs quite independently, mainly through the study of historical literature, especially concerning the myths and legends of the great heroes of the past. In my opinion, these passions have not much in common with known religious counterparts: we do not have clear views, ideology, meeting places, symbolism, and other attributes. The only exceptions are the relics of the heroes of the past and the unified summoning ritual. As for the latter, I am sure that the esteemed Sir Matthew has already informed Your Highness of all the details for the summoning; he understands this matter much better than I do. — The baron paused briefly.
—As I said, there is often no single motive uniting all fans of the heroes. Some simply want to study and discuss the legends of their exploits with their comrades, some want to summon their favorite hero to serve, and some want to perform their own heroic deeds. Therefore, there are also no criteria for joining or leaving: as long as there is room in your soul and a sincere desire to join the wonderful world of Vistarian history, respect and reverence for the great heroes who once shaped the fate of the world, that is more than enough. — Rogdan finished enthusiastically.
—If Your Highness wishes to know the details about any of the famous heroes of the past or the details of the summoning and subsequent contract, I will be happy to tell you about it.

It was originally planned that Yuisis Lunawhite would be appointed as the commander of this squad, but he refused the position, explaining that a commander should treat all of his subordinates impartially and not have favorites, which, according to his own words, he was not capable of. For this reason, the task facing the squad at the moment was to decide on its leader.

As far as Linderia knew, Yuisis was perhaps the only member of their squad who had experience leading people in military conditions. Therefore, although expected, his refusal caused her mixed feelings. In many ways, the young man reminded the Sorceress of a younger version of Baron Kraffmeyer, being an idealist who inspired those around him with his optimism. A person capable of maintaining the morale of their group in such a difficult hour. At the same time, like Rogdan, these qualities could push him towards excessively heroic and selfless actions, and the other members of the group would only have to follow such a leader. The only restraining factor here would be Cleona, whose opinion on various issues would directly affect the decisions of Mr. Lunawhite. Fortunately, the young man was well aware of this fact, and therefore refused. It is even possible that his beloved also had a hand in making such a decision, not wanting Yuisis to get into trouble for the foolishness committed by one of his subordinates.
But, one way or another, this posed the question to the "Golden Griffin" of who would lead its forces in this situation. Sylphida and Julius, not being official members of the organization, were immediately ruled out. It's a little unfortunate, considering that the latter's rich experience would be very useful here. Ilensia and Shen, from what the Sorceress learned about them, were interested in leading people as much as Cleona was in working with the "Griffin." They were just ordinary soldiers, inclined to leave more complex issues of squad management to someone else. Rish, despite all his positive qualities, gave the impression of a loyal guard dog, following in the footsteps of Raphael Ambrosius Kosto. Being loyal and obedient to the core, he was an ideal material for a soldier, but he hardly saw himself as a leader or had any experience in this area. Only one candidate remained - Linderia herself. And for her, such a position looked like a double-edged sword. On the one hand, this placed a great responsibility and obligations on her to the other members of the group. Her decisions would directly affect the success of the squad's actions, and the Sorceress would only have herself to blame for any possible failure. And even for the mistakes of her comrades, she would have to answer. Fortunately, there were no problematic elements in their group, as far as she knew. In addition, although she knew a little about tactics, Linderia could not call herself a person who inspires those around her. On the other hand, with her ambitions and desire to climb the social ladder, the need to take on such responsibility would sooner or later arise before her. And this case was a good opportunity to gain experience in this matter. And it is easier for a group leader to make a name for himself than for one of the ordinary members - success could open up wide opportunities for her. And she would hardly survive a failure, in any case - the fate of the "Golden Griffin" is already hanging by a thread. Therefore, guided by these very thoughts, the Moenian decided to put forward her position.

/There's a cloak made of beaverskin, +100 experience from Snow White, randomize one stat from a potion, randomize tempura, if there isn't any, give an answer with vodka for future use, fix the critical hit chance, and remove brandy/

Hmm... I think I took the vodka into account, the tempura didn't have any effect, but I don't remember about the potion. I'll scroll through the thread and see if I wrote anything about it.

/I was asking about vodka, whether it's possible to stock up on a bottle to take with me./

Aaa, no, they don't let you take things out of here.

Going to serve in some remote backwater, and all because of such a stupid situation that was provoked by other people – this wasn't the outcome the brothers expected from their work at the Golden Griffin. They really got themselves into a mess. Scipio considered escaping during the transfer, but the plan wasn't safe enough, and even if it succeeded, there was nowhere to go. On the way, Claudius regretted not knowing how to play any musical instrument, as then he could have made the dreary journey through the southern lands more enjoyable. When they arrived, it didn't seem as bad as they had imagined, although it was still a remote backwater where they had been forcibly sent. They appointed some unpleasant woman as the squad commander. They say she's a good fighter, but Scipio doubts this, as he prefers to believe what he sees himself. The choice of entertainment here was quite limited: either go to the mine or fight monsters. The knight found the second option more interesting, while Claudius didn't like either, although being with his brother was better than nothing, even if they were sent into the jaws of a monster. It was also good that not all of their friends from the Golden Griffin had died on the way, only two. Scipio actually thought that Zerek or Aym would also perish somewhere along the way, and he even wanted to bet with his brother, but he didn't. He had no doubts about the mustachioed one; even though he looks too polished, it's clear that he's a strong and resilient fellow. After resting from the journey, the brothers decided to take a look around. If this place is really as dangerous as they say, then maybe they should take some extra precautions. Go to the store, then get drunk. Are the coins here normal, or are they Arian coins? Because maybe I should exchange them back..

/Here are the auras./

randomize one stat with a potion

I couldn't find it in the thread, so I probably didn't take it into account. With such breaks, it becomes more difficult to keep everything in your head.
+1 to Spirit.
Having finished getting acquainted, the hastily assembled squad had to meet Antanea again. She explained that they needed to go further south for reconnaissance, into the mountainous region.
— Try not to die. And I wouldn't recommend deserting either. It might not be the worst option in your situation, but surviving in these lands is not easy.

...

— Convenient, convenient,” Leia nodded, “it helps you relax and clear your mind.”
— That’s a very interesting thought,” Inar looked at the guest more closely, “I should have an extra rope somewhere...”

-- Well, that's true, but I also wouldn't want to bother the noble lady Chrysanthe about trivial matters. But if there's something to do, I'll go get her permission right now, of course.

— Go ahead, get it, but watch out – it's dirty work, and I'll only pay for productivity, not for just showing up!

...

— Yes, yes, dreaminess, extreme romanticism… You have just confirmed my theory, Sir Rogdan. — Lucretia got up from her seat, walked over to Lian Fay, took her chin with the fingers of her right hand, and lifted her head, examining the heroine as if she were a curious oddity. — I gathered a group of thirty volunteers who soon came under Matthew Ariston's command, and what would you think? Over the past month, only two of them managed to perform the summoning ritual. I confess," - having finished examining Lian Fay, the countess stepped aside, thoughtfully looking around the room, - "in the past, I heard about your 'belief,' but I perceived its followers as fanatical history buffs and nothing more. Fortunately for me, you two have proven that my opinion was wrong. If this project is implemented correctly, “Legends of Visteria” can become a very useful tool…” Answer me this question: if all-loving Arteria responds to the prayers of the priestesses of the church and its followers, then how did it happen that cultists also enjoy her blessing?

...

All members of the squad except Cleona (and player characters) supported Linderney’s candidacy.

Let's go to the store.

Entering the building, Scipio comes face to face with a stranger.

— Are you shooting? — That was his first question. Looking at Claudius, he deftly twirled his rifle in his hands and returned it to its original position. — I guess not. What brings you to Hessia?

Having finished the introductions, the hastily assembled squad had to meet Antanea again. She explained that they needed to go further south, into the mountainous region, for reconnaissance.
— Try not to die. And I wouldn't recommend deserting either. It might not be the worst option in your situation, but surviving in these lands is not that easy.

-- What a lovely send-off, especially considering that the squad doesn't seem to have any military intelligence specialists or people with experience in mountain warfare... Well, the task is clear! As I always say, we'll do everything possible, and even more, general! Can we at least get some supplies? Mountaineering equipment, medicine?

If the all-loving Artery responds to the pleas of the priestesses of the church and its followers, then how did it happen that the cultists also benefit from her blessing?

She's just a multifaceted personality...

The only other thing here, besides this, was hundreds of statuettes of various sizes, and each of them depicted the goddess of love. It was a kind Artery, a caring Artery, an Artery with a sinister grin, a weeping Artery, a warlike Artery, and many other Arteries.

“You will be provided with provisions, but that is all the help I can offer.” The general spread her hands and smiled. “I am also here as a punishment, and therefore my options are very limited.”

Once the leadership issue was resolved, Linderia decided to visit the supply depot.

When he arrived in Airisufir:

/The cowboy isn't giving me any useful answers? If not, I'll go to the officers to get permission to work for the benefit of the local population./

/ I wonder if there's a mod like that for Skyrim?/

Well, he gave you a relevant answer for now.
