The clerk took out two silver coins and placed them on the table in front of Knuth.
-- Everything in the city is in its place. And I even found a guide for you.

-- I'm not so old that I can't sweep and tidy up a bit. But patching things up is a different matter. Alas, money, money! The last thing I received from Ardoria went towards repairing the roof, and the locals... You understand.
He's definitely hiding something under the floorboards...

- As you say. If the Almighty wills it, I will find the money and we will repair the Temple. I will pray and then return to the city, - the paladin said goodbye to the priest and headed towards the church.

-- Yes, money wouldn't hurt us, even though it's a worldly matter, oh, so worldly...
Felix enters the church after Unus, with a familiar gesture, scattering the mice scurrying in the corner. Inside, it looks somewhat less neglected than outside, but still sad. The floor is dirty, a couple of windows are missing panes, and gusts of the stormy March wind howl through the cracks. Only the priest's place – the pulpit and the altar – are in proper condition. A large fresco behind the altar, depicting the coming of the prophet, is illuminated by three candelabras, and a little light penetrates through the narrow windows, but it is clearly not enough, and most of the church is in semi-darkness.
The priest takes his place at the pulpit and immerses himself in reading, leaving Unus to pray.

The Paladin kneels, placing his hammer and scriptures before him. Unus gazes at the fresco and begins to pray. He thanks the Almighty for the journey completed, asks for the well-being of his remaining relatives, asks for forgiveness for the sinners of Tirren, and asks for forgiveness for his own weaknesses and shortcomings, and asks for help in all future endeavors. He concludes with his favorite prayer. After that, he leaves the temple and heads to the central square to inspect the place where he will preach.

The servant took out two silver coins and placed them on the table in front of Knuth.
-- Everyone in the city is where they should be. I also found a guide.
-- Well, alright... -- said the elf to the servant, taking the money.
/There's only an inn, Alex, no tavern. Or how do the residents eat? If there is one, let Dunkaniël sit at a table somewhere and listen to the conversations for a while. If not, he can go and rest for about 3 hours by sleeping in a bed, and then get ready for a walk./

There's a kitchen combined with the dining room, where you can always grab a bite of pearl barley – that's where the employee was initially pointing, but you won't hear any interesting conversations there.
Where should we go for a walk – to the well-known locations or explore randomly, as if it were the first time?

/Alright then./
After resting for a bit in the room, the elf began to cast a spell. He mercilessly converted his stamina into strength (6 points) to improve his grip and into agility (8 points) to avoid falling off the roof.
/If there are no penalties for low stamina, otherwise, up to and including penalties./
The result was like a goblin: small, with large, strong hands, and agile. An unpleasant image, but it will do for the job. After thinking for a moment, Dunkaniël adjusted his face, adding a large hooked nose, a prominent, sharp chin, bushy eyebrows, and other such features. If he could also convert his fatigue into other temporary physical ailments that were less important for climbing on roofs, he would do so; otherwise, he would settle for what he had. Blending into the shadows, the invisible elf-human-goblin waits for the cityscape outside the window to clear, opens the last window, and, securing himself on the roof, closes it with his foot. Well, now he can take a look around and experience the nightlife of Tirren.
> In stealth mode, he goes on a random route, prioritizing areas that look rundown. He is interested in all sorts of criminal elements and what they are talking about, but if he doesn't find anything, he will simply listen to various "newsy" conversations in the city.

At the designated location, a man in his early thirties sits at a table. He is pale and has slicked-back hair. His small, pig-like eyes are fixed on the table, where he repeatedly moves papers from one side to the other, but it's not apparent that he's actually reading or writing anything. His voluminous robes conceal his plumpness, but his chubby cheeks are visible beneath the clothing. Noticing Kotori, he glances at her briefly and then returns his gaze to the papers.
-- Well, what can I do for you?
— Hello, my name is Kotori Shinomiya. I came to inquire whether my husband, Keichi Shinomiya, has purchased property in your city.
Accepting the strange custom of the people of the East to say their given name before their surname, Kotori follows their example to avoid standing out and prevent possible misunderstandings.

-- It is possible, -- the official either fears to look you in the eye, or, on the contrary, considers it beneath his dignity. -- Everything is in the archive, everything can be found, but it's not easy, oh, how long and difficult it is... maybe in a couple of weeks, we'll go through the documents, but not before...

-- Our city has many interesting places. But the most remarkable ones are, of course, in the center, and for a warrior – in the Stronghold. In general, it all depends on what exactly the lord is interested in...
As he surveyed the square, Ruven recalled his previous visit to this place. It was back in his youth... His father was preparing for a journey to the North and went to Tirren to buy supplies and equipment. He took his son with him to the city to help, rather than let him loaf around in his absence. They didn't spend much time there then, limiting themselves to a stroll through the shops, after which they headed back. Ruven didn't notice anything particularly interesting then, contrary to the boy's words. Perhaps it was due to the brevity of the visit, or perhaps it was because that time he was just tagging along with his father, not really thinking about anything. He didn't actually provide much help; his father managed on his own – maybe he just wanted to show his son one of the largest cities in Fendrin, but... It turned out ironically that he failed in everything – he didn't properly show him the city, and his journey only led to expenses and injuries, and he didn't take care of his son, so he ended up growing up uneducated. And why was he so obsessed with that Black Dragon...

— Well, first of all, where can I find food and a place to stay overnight? I plan to spend some time here. And the Stronghold...
Ruven pondered.
— I'm not sure what's happening there now. Is it possible to enter it now?

Sorry, but I need a break. Seriously. I haven't been sleeping properly for more than four hours a day, and even then, not in one go. It only knocks me out for fourteen hours on the third or fourth day. I can't handle anything right now.
I'll get the general timeline for Frag and Revan up to date and take a break until Monday. Maybe Aretz and Ples will join in. If I can't get my sleep schedule back on track, and the players don't drop out, we'll continue anyway, but at the same slow pace.

— That's how it is... — The news wasn't very encouraging, but Kotori didn't show her disappointment with her expression. — Well, then I'll visit you again in two weeks. — She was about to end the conversation, but at the last moment she added. — Please don't forget...

Sorry, but I need a break. I can't do this anymore. I'm barely sleeping, and even then, not in one go. I only manage to sleep for 14 hours after the third or fourth day. I can't handle it.
I'll try to get the general timeline for Frag and Revan done and take a break until Monday. Maybe Aretz and Ples will join in. If I can't get my sleep schedule back on track, and the players don't drop out, we'll continue anyway, but at the same slow pace.

 

Ugh, I guess I'll have to register on Badu again...

When it comes to sleep, I feel like an addict: sudden relapses, constant cravings, unpredictable highs, and a complete lack of control over the dosage.
Alright, let's keep going.

Ruven pondered.
— I have no idea what's going on there. Can you even get in there now?
-- If you need a tavern, go to "The Golden Goose," over there, -- Ruven's guide waved his hand. -- You won't find a better one. But we have no idea about the Stronghold. We're not warriors...

— Well, thank you for the company and the tip. It's nice to be greeted like that. Here, take this.
Ruven handed the boys a couple of copper coins.
— If we meet again, I'll tell you what I manage to find out about the Citadel. Alright, run along, I'll go on ahead.

Deciding to visit the Citadel later, he headed towards the tavern.
