The rider who was holding the girl lets her go. She tries to run away, but the rider with long blond hair catches her and throws her in front of him on the saddle. The ram falls to the ground. The leader gestures with his hand, giving some kind of command, and the mustached and bearded riders lead their horses away, in the opposite direction from the mercenaries. The remaining riders begin to circle around the adventurers. The riders look at the golem with apprehension. - So, what do we have here? Mercenaries. You're sticking your dirty, clawed hands where they don't belong, - said the dark-haired man. - Go your own way.

Lin often caught lecherous and admiring glances directed at her, but contemptuous ones were rare. "I haven't seen such offended people in a long time," she thought, then mentally returned to the mayor. - Mr. Asurant, let me say right away that my people are currently scouring all the surrounding areas... Gathering information... Observing... So it's better not to waste time; the sooner you tell me about the troubles plaguing the local people, the better.
- Ugh, where to begin... Probably with the simplest thing. Rats. The city's sewers are overrun with huge rats. And since we now have almost no guards, it's a whole other story; there's no one to deal with them. Sometimes they even come out during the day and attack people. Disgusting creatures. To the north, in Videns, a well speaks. Although before, only the well in Oridge, near the lake in the south, used to speak. In Klosfort, to the west, there are some problems with giant earthworms. And in Uver, to the southwest, there's a strange cold at night. And there's a whole bunch of other things that I don't remember. All the records are with my assistant. We've now reached the town hall. I'm here from 12 to 4, so if you have any questions, feel free to come by. And my assistant can tell you more about the local problems. If you have any questions now, ask them, because I need to run and take care of some business.

"There was a lumberjack camp..." - Is that where the campfire is? - Zeikin clicked his tongue. - I see... May God help them.
So, what about the north? Aretz?
Heroist
+ about the north
Through the camp to the city, right?

-- Hahaha! Guys, I'm just laughing at you. Do you even realize under what circumstances the local authorities call on us for help? When something paranormal happens, that's when. Some damn paranormal stuff where a regular soldier can die in a second without a sound. Listen, I like you guys, so I'll give you a little insight into the job.
Henry pulled out some kind of round, cracked stone of an unusual color that he had found nearby.
-- Do you know what this is? It's a *doppelganger* egg. This crap takes on the human form of the first person it sees and immediately incinerates them with a glance, and then goes looking for new, unsuspecting victims. There have been a lot of them lately... And do you know whose ashes are lying a little further away? -- Henry paused. -- Judging by the remnants of the clothing on the ashes... it's a woman. -- So, you better go your own way, and we'll check everything out here with the golem. I'm asking you as a friend. And it's better not to get involved too much, trust the professionals who know how to deal with these creatures. *Kalimor should strike a more combative pose; I wrote about checking the intimidation factor above.* -- We... eat them for dessert, -- Henry spat and, with Kwen's help, broke the sandstone "egg" in his hand. -- But I wouldn't want to lose such good guys, we still have to work with you, right? -- the guy smiled.
- Hmm, so that's how it is. Well, that's clear. By the way, some time ago, a distant relative of mine was planning to visit you, I'm not sure why, maybe he was traveling or something else, but I haven't heard from him in a long time. His name is Winston Bork, maybe you know him?

The rider with long, light hair tensed up and twitched. Henry, intimidation check successful. The rider with shaved temples changed his expression. Henry, intimidation check successful. The mustachioed man continued to grin. Henry, intimidation check failed. The bearded man's eyes began to dart from side to side; he looked at the golem, then at Henry, then at the dark-haired man. Golem, intimidation check successful. The dark-haired man just smirked in response to Henry's words. Golem, intimidation check failed.
- Commander, maybe we should just forget about it? - said the light-haired man. - Yes, there are nuns around, they're free and no trouble... - added the rider with shaved temples. The dark-haired man turned and looked at the bearded man. Noticing his confusion, he replied to Henry. - Hmm, okay. Drop her. Let's go back to camp. The light-haired man threw the girl off the horse. She fell, barely missing the ram, and groaned in pain as she hit the ground. The riders galloped away from the mercenaries. - See you later, suckers! - shouted the mustachioed man at the end.

Nikta waited until the riders moved further away, then emerged from her hiding place and joined the group.
I assume that her teammates have already helped the girl to get up, but if not, I will help.
