While they are still in the alchemical lab, Nikta asks her companions to read the description of the ingredients from the book so she knows where to look for them, and to find them not only by smell but also by touch.

And where does that guy live, we asked?

And, please, give me three strong health potions (at my own expense).

-6 gold

Author

He buys the dagger, and the light reflecting off its blade, without much thought, and also buys a boot knife.

-8 gold

Tomorrow, if possible, I will send someone to deal with the rats and recruit new soldiers.

The young man continued to polish the blade, watching Dorobo.

This is what happens when only men enter the store...

- It's good, - he finally nods and places the coins in front of the seller. - What about you, did you find anything? - he asks the slime and Gene.

- I think I already have some protection, - replied Fayblup, after thinking for a moment.

- Well, attack then. Otherwise, you'll just keep missing with your spells.

"Henry, look, if I take a shield..." "...I won't be able to pretend I'm Knuckles anymore. It's not an option." "Hmm, well, you could wear stronger armor, then..." "...but I'll barely be able to walk, like a disabled person. That's not cool." "Well, here's a helmet, with a helmet you would be..." "...like a Niflgaardian from that series by Derhmak." "Is that bad?" "Considering that the Niflgaardians look like @#@+s in that series, yes. Pretty bad." "...How about greaves? Greaves will give you some protection, and it will be harder to knock you down with that fish. That's good, right, Henry?" "Hmm..." "So, what do you think?" "Yeah, it's not bad, but the effect isn't very universal. It's better to buy a potion of evasion, it will help against different monsters in a tough battle right away. And in easy battles, I don't need anything yet." Kven-Kven pondered the answer for a while. "Wow. You really know how to plan things, I must admit, I'm surprised." "Well, how many years have I been playing games, lol." Henry buys 1 concentrated health potion and a maximum evasion potion.

I was looking for a better quality myself, but I couldn't find one. The important parts are indeed clearer here. 👍

Having finished their shopping, the mercenaries headed to the city guard fort. An elderly man opened the fort gates and introduced himself as Vasily.

When everyone entered, he closed the gates and led the Claw party to the captain. The explorers noticed that the fort was empty. After knocking on the door and receiving permission to enter, the old man led the guests inside. In a small office, a middle-aged man was sitting. When the guests entered, he stood up from his chair, distracted from his paperwork.

The captain of the guard looked tired and dejected. He glanced indifferently at the newcomers but managed to force out a greeting before sitting back down.
- Good evening. Although, good evenings, and even good days, have been rare lately. My name is Rick Strongwood, captain of the local guard. Or rather, what's left of it. Vasily, you can return to your post.

The old man hurried to obey and left. The captain leaned back in his chair and, after a deep breath, continued.

- So, the mayor has decided to do something after all? And he even hired the Claw party; maybe things aren't as bad as I thought.

- With the "Hammers of Fate" around, there's always hope for the better, so don't despair! - After making an exquisitely polite bow, the clawed creature continues. - My name is Lin, and I'm the commander. And this is Nikta, a first-class scout; she's a bit shy, but it's very difficult to find someone better at her job; Henry is a tactical prodigy, a lover of fighting, and generally a good guy; Joe is a veteran and a wise man who has seen a lot in his life; Zeikin is the life of the party and a true professional; Radiël is a musical genius and an expert in eliminating all sorts of pests. And this is Araël, a sister of mercy and our healer. - Lin didn't mention Holodets; if he wants to, he'll make himself known. - We're very glad to meet you. We'd like to learn more about the situation in the area and the details of the stated tasks - recruiting and eliminating rats.

- With the "Claws" around, there's always hope for the better, don't despair! - The clawed creature makes an exquisitely polite bow and continues. - My name is Lin, and I'm the commander. This is Nikta, a first-rate scout; she's a bit shy, but you won't find anyone better at her job. This is Henry, a tactical prodigy, a lover of brawls, and a real good guy. This is Joe, a veteran and a wise man who has seen a lot in his life. This is Zeikin, the life of the party and a true professional. This is Radiell, a musical genius and an expert in eliminating all sorts of pests. And this is Arael, a sister of mercy and our healer. - Lin didn't mention Holodets; if he wants to, he'll make himself known. - We're very glad to meet you. We'd like to learn more about the situation in the area and the details of the tasks you mentioned: recruiting and eliminating rats.

- Hmm, let me start from the beginning. Not long ago, followers of the Lady in Black returned to the monastery in the foothills to the south, - Rick cast a judgmental and distrustful glance at Arael. - And somehow, they managed to convince almost all of my guards to become Knights of Loss. Only I and Torus remained, and you've probably already met him. So, I had to hire old Vasily and Sveta... just to have someone to keep order in the city. But that's not nearly enough people, so I need new recruits, about fifteen to twenty. I'm not very good at persuasion, and it's not easy to convince people to join the guard when all sorts of unpleasant things are happening in the area. As for the rats, or rather, the giant rats that appeared out of nowhere, they simply need to be killed. All of them, to the last one. Their lair is somewhere in the city's sewers. I'm not very knowledgeable about magic, but I suspect this is the work of some sorcerer. Or the influence of darkness.

- So that's how it is... - Lin made a mental note to ask Arael later about the situation with the Lady in Black's followers. - And tell me, what did these Knights do after they left the guard? Did they engage in any activities in the city or its surroundings, or did they mostly stay within the monastery?

- I saw some of them with the sisters in the city's surroundings. The rest are in the monastery, as far as I can tell.

- Well, that’s clear. It’s certainly not good to just abandon one’s responsibility to society and expose it to various risks. Unfortunately, people as a species haven’t evolved to the point where they can live in harmony with each other without a firm hand, so even without creatures of darkness and other external threats, the situation is urgent and serious. However, I am ready to demonstrate to the locals that women’s shoes are more appealing than either armored boots or sandals. And while I do that, my team will deal with the rat problem. I would like to have some escort from the guard to answer more technical questions from potential recruits, and perhaps even take their signatures for enlistment, but I understand that there are no people available for this?

- There are no people. But there is this, - the captain showed an announcement about recruiting for the guard. - The previous one failed. And not everyone can read.
The announcement described the terms of service: payment of 1 gold per day, food, medical care, equipment, and drinks in local taverns at the city's expense.

- It'll do. - Lin took the paper and then addressed the team. - So, I'll take care of recruiting, and you guys handle the rat kebab. I'm leaving Holodets in charge, and Henry can focus on combat tactics; he has a good intuition for that. Follow Radiël's plan, and if that doesn't work, adapt to the situation. And if you have any questions, I think the captain of the guard will be happy to answer them.

– Okay, – Henry calculated how much it would cost him to buy new clothes after crawling through the sewers, but he didn’t figure anything out. One thing he knew for sure was that this activity was more enjoyable in games than it would be now.
