At the same time, the northerner wonders:

Is Burn -45% HP over three turns? Does it stack by damage/duration if it triggers for two turns in a row, or does it only extend the duration of the initial effect by one turn?

How far is the city, in terms of being able to see the smoke/hear the screams from there and have some guards arrive quickly, or could a peasant quickly escape there?

Will the blacksmiths refuse to sell to the trash collectors?

As the first opponent, a squire named Jean stepped forward – a determined-looking warrior, firmly gripping a sword and shield in his hands. His attacks were swift, and overall, he moved more agilely. A flurry of attacks rained down on Ruven, and his shield strikes frequently aimed to disrupt Ruven's rhythm. However, Ruven didn't lose his composure and managed to strike the squire successfully several times. After that, Jean became more cautious, skillfully parrying the spear aimed at his face, and timely raising his shield for the next blow. But whether it was the movements that disrupted his concentration, or Ruven's natural agility awakened, his sword only whistled through the air. An excellent opportunity for an attack presented itself. And then Jean lay on the ground, struck down by a precise spear thrust. He was given assistance, and Ruven lowered his weapon and struggled to catch his breath. Despite the victory, the squire had managed to wear him down considerably. Count du Sartori stood nearby, grumbling and expressing his thoughts on the duel.

-- Not bad, -- as first aid is being administered to Jean lying on the ground, the count, who has been observing the fight the whole time, reprimands the fighters. -- Actually, it was terrible, there was no defense at all, on either side, they just fought until they could barely stand, and then they started trying to block and dodge somehow, but overall, they were quite even, the blows were strong and precise. I see, Ruven, you weren't lying about him being a "formidable fighter."

— It was a tough fight, it was close... We'll work on the defense, I guess. Ruven caught his breath and waited to see what would happen next. Will they restore my health, or do I need to eat some provisions to recover?

Kudakhter seems to have died. I'll try streaming from someone else's account sometime during the day, but I don't know if it will work. And all the files are gone.

😟

Does "Burn" inflict -45% health damage over three turns? Does it stack based on damage/duration if it triggers for two consecutive turns, or does it only extend the duration of the initial effect by one turn?

How far is the city? In terms of whether guards could see the smoke/hear the screams and arrive quickly, or could a peasant quickly escape there?

It only extends the duration.
It's far. Even running, it would take infantry at least an hour or two.

Kudakhter seems to have died. I'll try streaming from another account sometime, maybe during the day, but I don't know if it will work. And all the files are gone.

Damn, that's bad. Did he die along with the hard drive?

Who knows. Maybe he’ll revive. He was on his last legs for a while, but he usually managed to pull himself together after a day. Not now, though.

What’s up?

Alright, let’s continue. I’m just heading to training now.

So, weighing the flamethrower in his hands, Karlsson remembers that among his brothers, he was always considered the most dim-witted – Orm often deceived him for personal gain or just for fun, and the eldest, Ulf, held his nose high and coldly uttered profound phrases, which were actually just something he had heard somewhere and repeated at the right moment to make people think – "he's a little genius! he's destined to be a king."
And yet, if they could see Krait now, they would be stunned and would be green with envy that it was he who had the honor of advancing global technological progress, which nothing can stop.
Smiling at these thoughts, he announced:
- Long live the Novuka! - and directed the flame at the nearest shack and the dilapidated pig in front of it.

Why the pig?!

I apologize to the Ukrainians.

I started counting and realized I'm even forgetting to make some rolls. I sat down to write, got up to get some water, came back, and forgot what I was going to do. I'd better go take a nap before I mess everything up.
