Entering the chamber of repentance, Mira sees a man kneeling on the cold stone floor of the temple. He is kneeling on his knees and elbows, with his forehead pressed to the ground, and each time he confesses his sins, the temple priestess pours a bucket of ice water over him.

While she still had some time, and her companions were having a meal and preparing for the upcoming task, the Caolian decided to take a closer look at the painting depicting Gula and Superbia, two goddesses whose ideals resonated with her the most and who were most revered in her family. Perhaps someone might think that it was not appropriate to admire works of art before an important task, but Airlis could not agree with this – for her, they were one of the sources of inspiration.

Mira discreetly stays out of the way so as not to interfere, and listens – since the door wasn’t closed – to what sins are attributed to this penitent.

Airlis unlocks a new potential – the cooking skill: the character learns recipes for dishes and drinks they have tried and can prepare them if they have the necessary ingredients. To learn this skill, you need: - 500 experience points. - Try 5 different dishes. - Try 3 different drinks. (The thought process that led to this is described by the player himself.)

Tao looked around the Temple and thought that it would be better to build a powerful fort in this place in case of an enemy attack. Then he saw a door to the Chamber of Humility and thought that his former friend could definitely benefit from spending a couple of days there. But then he remembered that his friend had long been rotting in obscurity, and unfortunately, he was not worthy to answer for his misdeeds before the gods. Then Tao saw a stained-glass window with paintings of unknown women and thought that they could bring healthy and strong offspring. Then he recognized his goddess in one of the portraits – the one and only one he knew, revered, and respected. Apparently, she had some kind of disagreement with the mistress of this place, but it was not in his interest to find out the details. Therefore, Tao knelt before the painting of Ira and Superbia, carefully removed the worn scabbard from his belt, and took out the familiar blade. Tao raised the weapon with the hilt up, as if offering it to the goddess of war, and then placed it on the floor in front of him. Then he folded his fists in front of his chest, bent his torso and head, closed his eyes, and muttered a prayer in the native dialect of his deceased village, since he knew no other. Tao asked the goddess for strength in the upcoming battles, so that his body would not fail him, his mind would be clear, and his soul would be resolute. So that the blade would strike down all weaker enemies, and if there were stronger ones, it would grant him a warrior's death.

The naked and shivering sinner continued his confession, gloomily chattering his teeth each time new syllables escaped his lips. — Borrowed money and didn't return it... — *Splash* — Was late for a meeting. — *Splash*. — Promised his wife he would repair the furniture and didn't do it. — *Splash*. — Promised himself he would quit drinking but started again. — *Splash*. — Was lazy. — *Splash*. — Looked at his grown-up daughter with passion. — *Splash*. — Spread gossip. — *Splash*. — Did... — *Splash* *Plop* *Splash*. The man sprawled on the cold stone and could no longer continue.

I was late for the meeting.

If it were up to me, they would have run out of water. 😅

I usually do the opposite – I arrive too early.

Tao Kug unlocks new potential – rivalry: the character and their rival learn the chosen weapon types 5% more efficiently; +5% if they have different beliefs (Cult of Seven); +5% if they have the same origin; +5% if they chose the same weapon type.
To learn this skill, you need:
- 500 experience points.
- Find a rival – a character with different views on life/incompatible personalities, etc. (the main thing is that there is a conflict).

When you kill your potential opponent even before the game starts...



(Actually, competing with Frag seems pretty good)

While everyone wandered off in different directions, the refitter decided to approach the pile of items the girl had brought and try to lift them. He felt that his male pride now depended on this action.

I wanted to take a Knight-Nvidia character with a dagger, but I saw that Heroist had already taken a dagger, so I decided to use a different option.

Milo had to strain a bit, but he still managed to lift the bag. However, it’s unlikely he’ll be able to do anything else if it comes to a fight, and the heavy weight of the package doesn’t allow for much maneuverability (Action Points limit: 3, Dodge limit: 5).

-- Whew, I thought there would be a whole hundred here... Never mind, we'll manage.
"But even for a child, this is quite a lot. The girl is doing great; she'll make an excellent rebel!"

Realizing that it was time for a short break, Coriel decided to follow the example of others and distract himself from the current task. He didn't want to intrude on anyone's personal space, so he went to look at the stained-glass windows. He carefully examined each one, trying to appreciate the work that their creators had put into them, but he was most drawn to the purple picture depicting Tristitia and Superbia.

Without even offering a mental comment, the girl leaves the flagellation chamber behind and continues her walk towards the cells.
