- I suggest we don't go straight to Radov, but start with Ileshar. And, as far as I know, there's another settlement between them and Radov that we shouldn't dismiss in our search. We'll get more information there, although in three months (and considering the letter still had to arrive - make that four), only the laziest person wouldn't have covered their tracks.
Nikta smiled to herself. Yes, her companion was quite a handful. She tried to stay away from him, as his stench was almost unbearable.
- It's up to you where to start. The letter was sent by carrier pigeon, as you can see... ahem, by carrier pigeon, so it arrived quite quickly, - replied Baron Nikte.

Well, that means you should consider this: there's a possibility that your investigator couldn't handle the job or decided it wasn't worth his time and effort and simply cut off contact with you, perhaps out of shame, or perhaps out of fear of any undesirable consequences for him. But since a friend recommended him, let's assume that this guy is competent and takes his job seriously. In that case, it's quite possible that he got into trouble and either can't contact you or is no longer with us... If this situation is the result of unforeseen events and has nothing to do with the case, then it's a pity for the guy, but overall things aren't so bad. But it could also be that he was captured or killed by those he was looking for, so those who kidnapped your daughter may be very dangerous and unscrupulous people. But don't worry, we've taken the job, which means we'll do everything we can to reunite you with your daughter. - Lin smiled charmingly at the quest giver, and then turned her gaze to the women.


The Baron smiled in response and shook his head in agreement. It was clear that he appreciated not only the young commander's appearance but also her intelligence.

- As for your story, well... I'm not very good at theology, so it's hard for me to assess the relevance of this information to our case. However, life has taught me to think outside the box and allow for any possibility, so it would be unwise for me to ignore what I've heard. Therefore, I would like to suggest the following: how about Sister Arael joining us? This will allow our group to focus on carrying out the assigned task within our areas of expertise, while Arael herself will be able to assess the situation from a theological point of view.
- My dear, you're probably reading my mind! Arael is here precisely to go with you. I thought I might have to persuade you, but you, as I see, are a far-sighted and reasonable person, and you don't eat your bread for nothing. Arael recently finished her training and was ordained as a sister of mercy. And although she has no experience, she is very capable and learns quickly. Besides, she was well acquainted with Kervania. So feel free to use all her services. The words of praise from Miabi made Arael blush.

- That's wonderful. In that case, our party will rest and recover from the journey, and then we'll set off again, but first, we'll discuss the next course of action and, perhaps, ask you more questions if any arise. Is that okay? And Arael, welcome to the team! I think you'll enjoy being with us; we have a fun and interesting group.

"And I won't feel so lonely being the only woman in the party," Lin wanted to add, but then she remembered that they also had Nikta.

Leaning casually against the wall, Joe listened half-heartedly (because he didn't have whole ears left) to the cool story of the wealthy man, mechanically tossing a coin with his whole hand. It was perfectly clear that his beloved daughter was no longer alive – they don't specifically capture such people for slavery, and if they wanted a ransom, they would have at least sent a letter with demands. There was also a much more mundane version – overly kind sisters, a grumpy father, or a cunning fiancé could have inadvertently led the girl to her death, and for show, they staged a large-scale search with a rescue operation throughout the world.
However, all of this worried Joe very little: if they were only paying him for the "appearance" of doing useless work, then that would be even better.

Whatever

After Lin's words, the servants began to bring food into the room.
- Please, don't refuse our hospitality; have lunch with us, - the baron offered to the mercenaries.

If you have any more questions, please ask them now. Because after lunch and after those who haven't responded have done so, I'll send you on your way.

Nikta is not a woman, she is a male.


We'll have a healer, guys, hooray!

I can't think of any questions right now, but maybe tomorrow something will come to mind, although it's unlikely.

Yeah, Nikta is alright, she'll do for some casual play...

The sky's the limit, but can I turn myself into soup and divide myself into portions for others to eat? And then consume something myself and restore HP (if it's spent).
Otherwise, I could open a soup kitchen for the poor and sell soup for money...

Almost forgot.

Nikta requests samples of the daughter's and the mage's belongings so she can track them down by scent. After three months, there might not be any traces left... But there might be!

- Couldn't you have lied and said it was your travel soup? - Faiblup shared his thoughts with his comrades.
- Talkative soup belongs on the fire, - Zeikin slapped the bucket.
Author
- He doesn't really look like a count, he's more like some kind of barber or even a carpenter, - he commented on the appearance of Count May'bullier.
- If you knew who you resembled, - Zeikin reprimanded the mush.
Author
- By the way, have you heard the story about the old, childless carpenter who, out of loneliness, lost his mind and carved a doll out of wood, the size of a small child?
- No, I haven't heard it, but my mother used to cut figures out of jelly with a knife, - Zeikin threatened the paste with his fist.
Author
He somehow thought he could bring it to life. But where has it ever been seen that wood comes to life, and even gains intelligence?!
- The same can be said about this goo, - Zeikin retorted.
Author
After all, when he was young, he could have carved himself children out of a woman, and that would have been it. So this is not only a funny, but also an instructive story for people.
- And you, when you were young, could have taken a solid form, and that would have been it, - Zeikin was offended for the old man.
Author
- Well, big guy, what do you think, did I say this to everyone present or just to you?
- I'm thinking about what temperature the jelly burns at on the fire, - Zeikin shook the bucket to teach the liquid villain a lesson.
Author
- Go north? She's probably already dead, and so is that detective. These acrobats are probably from some kind of cult, and they found themselves a victim. Maybe the goal was the future child, not the girl.
- You know a lot about human children, have you eaten them? - Zeikin grumbled at the alien's self-assured statement.
Amidst all these squabbles, he missed the moment when he could have stood on a stool in front of the recruiter and told the story of his life, so at the moment of introduction, he simply nodded and mumbled his name.
Author
- T-thank you. I-I will be glad to help.
Frowning and folding his arms across his chest, Zeikin looked the nun up and down. At first glance, he should have been happy: being almost the only true believer in the squad - of course, those who professed vague local beliefs could not be fully called that - he often felt spiritually alone, and understood better than anyone that their group needed divine support, which had also helped him in the worst years of his life. But the presence of such a servant in a mercenary gang could provoke an endless number of problems - both from the outside and from within.
"Where are your Knights?.." - he thought with a sigh. - "This will be tiring."
My sword, my trusted ally, unphased by my aspect.

For example, underwear. The scent will be strongest there...

Ideally, you shouldn't split yourself at all. You might not be able to put yourself back together.

Of the mage's "belongings," there was only a letter. Which was given to Nikta. She was also given Kervani's dark blue wool scarf.

You're in polite company, so they wouldn't give you underwear...

Only Fragment remains. If anyone has a connection to him, let me know, as he was last seen two days ago. Or we can role-play with him later.

Rhubarb, haha! Go sniff someone else's underwear!

The Huntress decided that this should be enough. She also noted that she would need to ask one of her companions to deliver a message for her when they were alone and discussing the plan of action.
