The demands are the default ones, as the quest giver warned.

If things are really bad, we can surrender and continue to fight the monkeys, even though we'll be poor and miserable, since we can't handle anyone else.

Alternatively, we can find those Haven soldiers and persuade them to attack. They'll tear each other apart with the demons, and we'll finish off the survivors and reclaim our belongings.

Or, we can report to the outpost that demons are killing soldiers, so they can send a proper punitive squad.

And you can also find those Haven units later and persuade them to attack. They'll tear each other apart with the demons, and we'll finish off the survivors and take back our stuff.

Why would the Haven units need your stuff? They are law-abiding people...

So, are we fighting on?

The demons are default, just so you know.

Even the default ones have 25 more combat stats than similar characters of other origins. I’ve been saying for a long time that using such origins for enemies isn’t the best idea. And their gear is on par with Dithland or slightly worse. And they don’t need to create social characters who are useless in combat. So, technically, the number of combat characters on both sides can be equal, but in reality, the quality of these combat characters varies greatly.

And when in expeditions has it been any different? Last time, we were wiped out by goblins.

There’s also the fact that our characters will become weaker if we surrender. But the new ones created will most likely be even weaker than the previous ones. At least these ones managed to buy some gear, drink some potions, and summon companions.

They’ll be fine, the Haven faction will emerge from the bushes and save everyone 😍

In short, the battle continues. If someone wants to leave the battle individually, they can do so with their own action at any time.

I wanted to betray the demons and join Haven...
and also create a party of demons.

"— Enough," Airlis said firmly, seeing Coriel Ilk and their new companions collapse to the ground. "Is your offer still standing? Do you swear to let me and my comrades go in peace, and do you guarantee our safety if we agree to your terms?"

— We didn't come for your lives, so there's no reason to continue the battle. — Besides, in exchange for three killed, Suitangi allows the squad to keep three items that were not among the necessities. — I give my word that we will not harm you today and will not demand anything more.

In the current situation, refusing such an offer would be unwise, no matter how you look at it. Not to mention that Ayrlis's squad pledged to ensure Milorad's safe passage, and Kaolike didn't want to break that promise. Nor did she want to shed anyone's blood – there had been enough casualties for today. Even from a practical point of view, there was no reason to continue the battle, as each loss affected the squad's combat effectiveness. All that remained was to provide Ilk with first aid and decide which of her comrades would keep some of their valuables.
I suggest the pendulum and the statues of Loken, or one of the statues + the diary. But I'm open to other suggestions. But the pendulum should definitely not be given away.

Too bad there isn't a Plague God here (like in that expansion where players could infect others); otherwise, I'd take him, lick a drumstick, and give it to them. Maybe they'd finally catch the NPCs in a trap.

My character can hide statues so that no one can find them. That makes a total of 5 items. GM, please confirm or deny this. It's not the case that they checked all our items and offered an estimate for approval.

I refute... Here's the list, for the convenience of players.

Can I at least make the final entries in the diary? 😩

Well, go ahead and do it if you’re going to keep it.
