Do we take down Belial immediately, or should we try to talk first? I would aim my weapon at him and say something like, "Patrol, stay where you are, or we shoot," so there's a chance for a conversation, and if not, we won't let him get closer and can attack immediately if we see aggression.

Open fire immediately; Gonzo will recognize his own.

you already discussed it last time, so I don't think it's worth it
death > possible benefit

Some time before this

Nature, the strange magic permeating the southern forest... There was no feeling of danger, rather a sense of mystery. The local sounds and atmosphere were different from the forests of Baldur, although now, after comparing them, Gulveig realized that even those forests were probably not entirely normal. The worst part was thinking that the local spirits, unlike the forest spirits of Baldur, were not yet accustomed to travelers. Now they are asleep, but it is unknown when and what will make them wake up and how they will behave afterwards.
Veggi shook her head, dispelling the haze that, apparently, had so strongly stirred her imagination, including due to the cognac she had drunk. There were many of them in the forest: Rohey, Veserod, Eir, and Anders... Their animists would obviously warn of any threatening spiritual danger, should it arise, and the other companions would help set up camp and settle in more comfortably. According to the soldier's manual, Gulveig and the others lit a fire, prepared some food... Then the girl began to train hard. Surprisingly, she had not really done anything all day, only rode the train, read a book, and went to show off at a competition, and yet she now felt that she had realized a lot about how to improve her techniques. Perhaps reading about the teacher in "774" really helped her better understand the important lessons that Virgil had given? It is also possible that it was the influence of the forest, or even more likely, their feeling of unity with the other guys who were carrying out the assignment. Although Gulveig did not help, she was present at all the moments when any information was discussed, and even answered Ilve's questions (although she asked that, perhaps, they should not be published if there are enough opinions... After all, it was worth thinking about her own reputation, even in such a trivial matter). In any case, after the training, the girl felt much more confident with the shield, that gift from the count from Tamfana. In addition, her spear (a gift from Eir) now emitted a soothing starlight, fueled by her faith in the Mother. However, this light was as beautiful and pure as it was dangerous and deadly to enemies, and Gulveig was sure that it would only become stronger in the future.
The fire went out, but fortunately, the smoke from the ashes still kept the mosquitoes away. Gulveig looked at it and sighed again, thinking that it was a pity that Kalentia was not here. Maybe she was right that it would have been better to stay in a luxurious hotel... But Veggi kept in mind the need for several purchases and did not want to spend money on her own comfort, although she wanted to.
What to give Kalentia for her birthday? There were several options, of course. Gulveig's friend had recently begun to master bastard swords, but without a weapon, it was probably difficult - a good purchase. Also, Kal was clearly planning to spend a lot of money in the city, and if so, she could simply help her pay for something... In general, there were quite a few options, fortunately, there was still time.
And for now, she needed to prepare herself mentally and physically for the patrol. The light around the spear lit up again, and the measured strikes in the air continued, reinforcing the technique.

Open fire immediately, Gonzo will recognize his own.

The group was moving in a battle formation, and therefore reacted immediately and opened fire on the stranger, who was clearly some kind of mutant demon worshiper. In another situation, of course, it would have been worth first announcing their authority and ordering him to stop... But here, their commander's intuition instantly told him that delay would be at least useless, at most dangerous.

Basically, we can aim and fire, but the cat clearly indicates that this guy is not friendly. Since two of us don't want to risk it, I think we should just shoot him. Revan confirmed that we are dealing with a demonic mutant with dark energy. Lock and Alex would likely support this course of action. We could also try to subdue him non-lethally, recite Anselm's prayer, tie him up, and interrogate him. Perhaps he is just possessed, and he can be cured at the sources. Either way, let's shoot.

I’ve already accepted.

Imelda could have stunned him with a shot if she had a weapon... (assuming she hits, of course).

I thought we had given the swallow to Imelda a long time ago.

Imelda could have stunned him with a shot if she had a weapon... (if she hit, of course)

Ar, stop trolling, why haven't you given it to her yet? It's obvious that this should be a gift from Anselm, not Veserod or someone else. And Veserod is keeping it specifically for her.

An arbalest bolt, flying towards the man, hit him right in the eye. — Hey, hey, hey! — He pulls the foreign object out of his eye socket and emits a wave of devastating energy from his body. — Is this how you greet travelers in the west?!

Underwear (destroyed)

No, I wasn't fundamentally against having a conversation, of course.

Well, to be honest, I wouldn't fight anymore ))) Although we still have weapons.

I'm even a bit lost as to what to do. I'm not sure if it's very role-playing to keep harassing someone who isn't retaliating. I damaged his clothes, but I didn't touch him. And he could damage our other equipment as well. On the other hand, Kasha reacted very negatively to this guy, so I'm not sure that talking to him will lead to anything good either. And we should also consider that our defense has been significantly reduced right now.
