By the way, I'm going on a trip to Altai with my parents. There's a high chance that I won't be able to connect for a while, although I will definitely try to do so. Unless I warn you otherwise, just keep me on autopilot. I will definitely return to playing regularly in about 2 weeks, maybe sooner.
A nasty lifefail.

Gulveig, Shanaz, and Veritta sat by the campfire. Vegi was toasting some bread.
"Well, girls, even though we're not in a bathhouse, we'll still have a good rest," she said quietly, "while remaining vigilant. I would sing some songs. You know, in Illia there is a wonderful music school in honor of Limma Madrigal, that very Valkyrie. Unfortunately, I wasn't destined to study there, but in general... what a well-trained voice can do is amazing. Ah, dreams, dreams..."
Perhaps, for her companions, such gatherings around a campfire were commonplace, especially considering that a gang of goblins lived in a nearby cave, but for Shanaz, it was a new experience. To sit by the fire, chatting about this and that. It was difficult to tell whether the unfamiliarity of the activity itself or the fact that it was merely a lure for their target was the reason, but the heckel warrior couldn't say she felt particularly comfortable in this situation. Meanwhile, their leader, on the contrary, seemed to have forgotten where she was, deciding to start a conversation on a rather strange and unexpected topic. Was it an attempt to hide her anxiety and fear, or simply an inability to concentrate on one thing?
— Lady Gulveig, may I ask, if you are an Arterian and dreamed of learning to sing, why did you become a mercenary instead of trying your luck as a priestess? As far as I can tell, you have all the qualities for that. Didn't you want to sacrifice your personal life for it?
- I hope we won't have to wait long for the goblins, otherwise we might end up sitting in the bushes until evening. And considering that I ate a lot this morning, and my old age, which affects not only my overall physical condition but also disrupts the body's rhythms, which in turn throws the schedule of some physiological needs into chaos, and you just don't know when it will make itself known... - Kayoshi paused for a moment. - In short, I hope they come out of their hole soon.
— Lady Gulveig, if you may, as an Arterian who dreamed of learning to sing, why did you become a mercenary instead of trying your luck as a priestess? As far as I can tell, you have the qualities for that. Didn't you want to sacrifice your personal life for it?
— I'm not saying I never thought about it, but... Mother Arteria wanted me to follow this path. Other paths were simply closed to me at the time. I don't regret it; my current path has aligned better with my life circumstances, — the girl paused for a moment, deciding to embellish the meaning of her last words. — Right now, Arterianism and priestesses aren't very popular in Serberia, and I don't know how I would apply it on my travels. — Lady Shanaz, rather, tell me what songs you like in your homeland... And, by the way, please don't call me "lady." I'm not a noblewoman; such an address is inappropriate in my case.
“I apologize – it’s just a habit,” Shanaz replied briefly to Gulveig’s request, omitting the fact that she, too, had blue blood flowing in her veins. Or even divine blood, according to some residents of Heckelia. “I may be wrong, but isn’t one of your Valkyries currently fighting on the side of Serberia? Perhaps, by her example, you could change the minds of your fellow countrymen on this matter. It would be more difficult for the priestess, but people with your skills are in demand in war, and whether they pray to their queen or to Arteria is secondary – a soldier is a soldier. However, your choice is your choice. If you are a supporter of the orthodox branch and nothing holds you back in your homeland, then it is not surprising that you preferred wandering to participating in the war,” the Heckelian smiled faintly, remembering why she herself had left her homeland. “However, I digress. You were asking about favorite songs? Perhaps it would be ‘Ballad of the Setting Sun.’ Not the most memorable title, I know. I don’t think I need to explain what it’s about, do I? There’s something soothing about it, even if it sometimes has a touch of melancholy. Well, what was I saying? You probably haven’t even heard it, and my vocal abilities are clearly not enough for a proper performance. Unless you keep it in mind for the future, if you ever decide to visit Heckelia. However, I wouldn’t recommend it to someone like you.”
Goblins are trying to stealthily surround the female travelers, but they fail. The party members discover that they are armed with axes and are under the effect of a tree spell. ________ Goblin1 does not detect Guy Guy detects goblin1 Shanaz detects goblin3 Shanaz detects goblin5 Shanaz detects goblin6 Gullveig detects goblin2 Gullveig detects goblin4 Gullveig detects goblin7 Initiative Gullveig (11) 425/425 Veritta (10) 185/185 Harold (10) 1085 ⛵ Lester (10) 130/130 Goblin1 (10) 240/240 Goblin2 (10) 240/240 Goblin3 (10) 240/240 Goblin4 (10) 240/240 Goblin5 (10) 240/240 Goblin6 (10) 240/240 Goblin7 (10) 240/240 Guy (8) 260/260 Garrett (8) 110/110 Shanaz (7) 100/100 ⛵
Prominent characters appear from above, in order from the right wall of the cave: Erich, Kayoshi, Atarax, Asterion
Asterion motivates the Ghoul. If the Ghoul now has 16 initiative and the cyclone takes into account the spear's bonus to range (it will hit all targets within two squares around the Ghoul), then, for starters, it stands above goblin 6, so as to affect goblins 3, 5, 6, and 7 with the area of effect. If the cyclone only affects opponents on adjacent squares, without taking into account the spear's range, then it stands between goblins 4, 5, and 6, and then attacks them. Of course, the second option is also performed only if the Ghoul has 16 initiative.
Asterion moves to the left of goblin 2 and attacks.
Gulia repeats her previous attack. If hits with criticals occur, we proceed to determine how to spend the bonus turn.
If Asterion misses, Veritta strikes goblin 2 with "Sword of Justice." If he hits goblin 2, and Gulia misses goblin 3, then "Sword of Justice" is used on goblin 3 instead.

Nebok, there's 20 evasion, meaning Gulia has a 35% chance to hit. It takes approximately two hits to defeat the goblin. Gulia should survive this battle, for sure. But I can't vouch for the others. Well, they can be resurrected with a prayer.
