Probably, more battles have been fought in this expansion than in all my previous ones combined.

Imelda is not listed in the table.

I ordered it for her.

Imelda is gone :(

When you draw a card with a rare combat skill and great items, the game progresses without battles.
When you decide to create a weak support character, you have a dozen battles on the very first day.

- Yes, the guys are lucky that this isn't a music competition, - Anselm thought to himself after another battle.
However, he was largely indifferent to this competition, except that he didn't really want to spend time cleaning up, as that time could be spent on something more useful. But in any case, he wasn't counting on winning, given his combat skills. And it was good that the baron wasn't forcing everyone to fight. Although, for himself, the swordsman had already decided that he would simply stand for six rounds if he had to face Imelda, who didn't want to fight.

After a brief duel with a local samurai, who had thoroughly beaten Renold, he understood that the next fight would be decisive. Firmly resolving to use all his remaining strength and give it his all, he boldly stepped forward against the red-haired girl with a saber. A light gust of winter wind flattened the sweat- and blood-soaked grass covering the forest clearing, playfully tousled his tangled hair, and with a burning breath, touched the hastily bandaged wounds and cuts. It seemed as if the entire arena had plunged into absolute silence, but that was only Renold's consciousness, now entirely focused on one single, important goal. If they were on a real battlefield, he would have already missed a couple of unexpected attacks, but now he only had one opponent in front of him. Time seemed to slow its endless pace, and Renold clearly heard his own, erratic breathing as if from a distance. His fingers tightened around the hilt of his rapier. Suddenly, Air rushed forward with incredible speed, forcing the guy to quickly break free from the stupor that had gripped him. He flinched slightly, and Renold took an uncertain step towards her, but by that time, the opponent was already just a few meters away from him. Then, remembering the bitter experience of past defeats, he decided not to rely on an attack. Even before the opponent had time to lower her saber to his shoulder, he made a quick lunge towards her, but to his great surprise, the blade seemed to bounce off her body, causing no harm. Then, a hail of precise saber strikes rained down on Renold. The young man was forced to retreat, fully dedicating himself to defense, looking for a favorable opportunity for a counterattack. And to his good fortune, such an opportunity soon presented itself: the girl, engrossed in the battle, reminded him of his own first duels. It was a chance that he could not ignore. Seizing the moment, he dodged another attack and slashed at his opponent's side. Dark blood gushed onto the lawn. But, unfortunately, the wound turned out to be not decisive, and only further enraged the opponent. Now, Renold only had to defend himself, clearly feeling how his arms and legs grew heavier with each second. He could no longer prolong the fight. Hoping for luck, he repeated his previous lunge, and to his surprise, he found that he had succeeded: having received a new wound, Air could no longer fight. Heaving a sigh, Renold found the strength not to collapse to the ground from fatigue, helped his opponent to her feet, and thanked her for the duel. Ilva, who had been watching the battle with concern until that moment, did not immediately realize that someone was addressing her. Raising her head, she saw Shino, who was asking about the duel. Overcoming her disgust and dislike for the sorceress after today's incident, the girl put on the most neutral expression she could and shook her head negatively. At that moment, Renold finally managed to win, and Ilva, forgetting her resentment towards her brother, clapped her hands with joy. But when he looked at her, she turned away again, putting on an indifferent expression. Her thoughts returned to the upcoming task of cleaning the city, and her hatred for the baron's antics. And Ren seemed to be deliberately trying to do everything to leave her alone in the company of strange people. She felt very offended and sorry for herself, and wanted to leave this terrible place as soon as possible.

I ordered it for her.

Will she be cleaning up together with the others?

It will be...

Probably, there have been more battles in this expansion than in several of my previous ones.

Well, it depends on how you look at it. If you consider the number of battles, then yes. But in terms of calculations, this tournament, in my humble opinion, doesn't differ much from a large battle in any other expedition. Compare it to the palace from Tiaral or the competitions from RI3.

That's true. It was easier to count the fruits...

Alex, are you going to fight?

Without disturbing anyone, Veserod methodically walked around the clearing and collected all the spent arrows. Today, he had planned to spend the day thoroughly exploring the forest, searching for tracks of large game, and bringing something home – to please Dianka and himself, and a small gift for Nikitka wouldn't hurt either. However, the unexpected invitation from Gungnir forced him to reconsider these plans.
Watching the orphans playfully clashing, brandishing weapons for war and practicing devilish magic, he couldn't help but feel out of place, with his modest working tool and light clothing for a walk in the forest. Nevertheless, for the most part, the youngsters frolicked with smiles and laughter, shaking hands and vowing not to lose next time, and this made the hunter feel a little better.
Although the duels began at a respectful distance, Veserod dealt with most of his opponents firmly, as he would in a real situation with a deadly predator – he tried to hit all vital organs as accurately and quickly as possible and immobilize the attacker, after which he would finish him off with a knife – although this was not necessary in this training. Nevertheless, the saber-toothed tigress managed to scratch him, and he failed to properly pierce the boar's hide – the hunter took note of both cases to think them over later.
The two other archers proved to be the most fair and serious opponents, and Veserod recorded their names in a separate memory store. Quiet, modest, and gloomy Anders defeated him with the very first bolt to the heart – that's how a proper archery duel should look. If he had enough physical and mental stamina, he would make an excellent hunter.
The second surprise was Daniel – the perpetually mischievous boy, who nevertheless easily defeated many opponents – it was clear that he was bored when the penalty for failure was announced, which, apparently, gave him extra strength. Whether it was luck or a flash of talent, he managed to pierce Veserod's lung so that he coughed, but the lack of any serious practice with a crossbow made itself felt. At the moment when Veserod's final arrow crunched into the bridge of his opponent's delicate face, the hunter thought that this boy could have a great future if he got his act together.
Having finished collecting the arrows, he sat down on a stump, took off his outer clothing, and began to mend the fresh holes, occasionally glancing at the fighting participants.

That's true. It was easier to count fruits...

No.

I’ll write a post later.

The second surprise was Daniel – a perpetually joking boy who, nevertheless, easily defeated many opponents. It was clear how bored he looked when the penalty for a poor performance was announced, which, apparently, gave him extra strength. Whether it was luck or a flash of talent, he managed to hit Veserod lightly, causing him to cough, but the lack of any serious practice with a crossbow made itself felt. At the moment when Veserod's final arrow crunched into the bridge of his opponent's delicate face, the hunter thought that this boy could have a great future, if he would just get his act together.

Having finished with all the battles, Daniel breathed a sigh of relief. The boy had hoped to avoid all this fighting after the battle with Shino, but, alas, it was not to be, so he had to fight everyone. The first battles were easy and effortless for him. Then, the battle with Gulveig tired him out a bit, which is why the slightly exhausted boy lost two battles in a row. Later, he no longer had much hope and was already counting on at least not joining the club of people who like to clean, when suddenly he found a second wind, and victories began to come one after another.
Therefore, perhaps, before the obviously losing battle with the obvious champion of the impromptu tournament, Daniel decided that instead of giving up, because it was clear that the Grimvalde would not be able to catch the nimble archer on foot to hit him with a stick, he would take the trophy crossbow and try to fight back, trying to dodge the arrows and bring the fight to a draw. Unfortunately, it was impossible to dodge all the arrows of the accurate fighter, but a sudden discovery was a whole (!) hit, which Daniel did not expect at all.
On the one hand, the boy could not help but be glad that he had achieved something, on the other hand, it was a little sad to realize that he still did not become the best, but only entered the top three, scoring the same number of points as the Mirai. However, even if he had somehow miraculously defeated Veserod, Daniel would not have become the winner, so it was easier to be glad that he would not have to waste time cleaning the territory – one of the most disgusting activities that teachers somehow like to assign.

“Did you see what I can do!” – the boy said to Matthias while waiting for the tournament results to be announced. He held the very crossbow in his hands. “Maybe you should start teaching me how to use this thing? After all, Andreas showed quite good results under your guidance. He even defeated the local champion.”

Overcoming disgust and dislike for the Sorceress.

They created so many Sorceress players, and a simple, cheerful, and fun-loving girl evokes so much hatred...

It will...

Clear. It won't.
