it's probably easier to kill a new guardian recruiter than to recruit new recruits

- Well, Captain. We'll need a map of the collector, if one exists, and an indication of where they are most active (on the surface). Other useful information that might be helpful to us wouldn't hurt either," Faibleup said officially.

Rick turned to the golem Kalimor, thinking about what he was saying.
- I don't have a proper map, but I can quickly draw a diagram for you (but the GM can't), it's quite simple.
I don't know if I can do it today. I'll have to wait again.

/We can just shorten it. We'll follow a certain pattern, and you can say, "The mercenaries, following the pattern that they definitely have, found the treasure. And now they've reached the boss, but from a position where the boss can't see them yet." That would work./

Rick addressed Kalimor's golem, thinking he was talking to it.
- I don't have a proper map, but I can quickly draw a diagram for you (and the GM can't), it's quite simple.
- Okay. But give it to the bald one instead, because I can't hold anything but a sword, - replied the golem Fayblup.

you can just draw lines with a pencil if possible, or upload a map from Battle.net.

- Don't forget about light and alcohol. I had an acquaintance who was bitten by a rat, and he howled for a week throughout the entire building before he passed away. His leg swelled up like a log, and something started to breed inside it... - Zeykin stopped mid-sentence and exhaled a cloud of smoke, using the cigarette to ward off the nausea that arose from the unpleasant visual memory. - In short, antiseptic is needed. Even the poorest guard should be able to afford such basic necessities, and we should provide them.

Having left the fort, Lin began searching for a place where a large number of people could gather even in the evening and where she could attract the attention of the townspeople. Wandering alone through the dark streets of an unfamiliar city was far from the most pleasant activity, but the mere thought that the alternative was traveling through the sewers was enough to dispel any doubts about her previous decision. Such dirty, disease-ridden, and foul-smelling places were clearly not for such a delicate and graceful beauty as her. This time, she had no musical accompaniment - the group's only musician had more important tasks, so Lin began by singing a cappella, without any particular meaning, except to attract the attention of passersby and people hiding behind the doors of their homes. - Inhabitants of Radovud and its surroundings! Dear men and women, all who are capable of wielding a weapon! - With her hand outstretched, she showed the gathered crowd an announcement about recruiting for the guard. - The guard is having a hard time right now - there are not enough hands, and crime is increasing, so there is an active recruitment drive. - For those who stood further away or simply could not read, the orator read out the terms of employment. - You will receive personal equipment, free food, free medical care, and free drinks in local taverns at the city's expense. - "Free" she repeated several times, specifically to emphasize how great this offer was. - And also a solid salary of one gold coin per day! In addition, you will help not only the city and society, but even yourselves! Currently, you all have to walk with your heads bowed and suspect each other, knowing that if a crime is committed, no one will stand up for you! And if the creatures of darkness attack or something else happens, then that will be the end of everything. In this situation, none of you have hope for a bright future, and every day could be your last, but! Today you have the opportunity to change everything, take your fate into your own hands, and look to the future with more confidence in your eyes and with your shoulders held high! Join us and protect your property, your families, your usual way of life, your lives, your dignity. - Lin exhaled and demonstratively took off her top, leaving herself in just her underwear and bra. - And besides, think of the beautiful! Beauty is priceless; it is something that we, as humans, pursue not for some mercenary purposes, but in order to find spiritual upliftment and a higher purpose in life. - She said the next phrase in a rougher tone to create a greater contrast with what she had just said. - Eating, sleeping, and leading an idle life can be done by animals, but that is not enough for us, as humans. Beauty is a universal good that transcends the barriers of time, generations, genders, and cultures; it is something that is good in itself and is expressed not only in what can be seen with the eyes or heard with the ears, but also in the beauty of the human soul! Take a closer look at your reflection in a mirror or water and think about what you would prefer to see yourselves as - gloomy, with empty eyes, devoid of hope and aspirations, resigned to life and awaiting an inevitable end, or as those who are ready to take up a sword and fight back against fate, standing firm like a colossus against all the trials that it is ready to send your way! Protect yourselves, your families, your community, your land, the future, and before that - restore your human dignity, open up like a flower, and become beautiful! Everything is in your power!

As he walked alongside the others towards the area required to complete their mission, Henry mused aloud about the important information they had just learned: "Well, the situation with the monastery and the escaped pregnant woman is clear. The runaway founded an evil cult and recruits people into it, who then become pyramid-headed... or they're just brainwashed with nonsense, as usual. Our investigator was either captured and is being held in their basement, or he joined the cult and became one of the mini-bosses. A typical scenario. So, I suggest we avoid any cliché "unexpected encounters" or "revealing a terrible truth," okay? That's how it is with kids; if you don't give them enough freedom, instead of a little angel, you might get some kind of Alma. "As for the rats, let's have Slime check with a book to see if there's any poison or anything else, and then follow Radiell's plan. We lure them out one by one or in small groups, kill them quickly, and then go finish off the rest. I don't want to linger here."

“Now, now, don’t speak ill of the pyramid-headed ones!” Joe wagged his finger. “I once had a comrade on my team nicknamed Billy Pyramid, and it was all because one day his empty head got hit by a falling mast and bent into a triangle. Poor guy couldn’t wear any headgear… But he was a devilish corsair and a real rogue, I tell you! The Imperial fat cats would soil their pants just at the sight of him! We could use someone like that on our team! But alas… may he rest in peace on the seabed…” Joe sighed sadly, pulled a black, dirty, and dusty handkerchief from his pocket, and blew his nose loudly.

Maybe by the end of the week I'll be able to manage things relatively normally. For now, I can only dedicate a couple of hours a day.

- Good. But give it to the bald one instead; I can't hold anything other than a sword, - replied the golem Fayblup.

- Look: to the north is a river, the water intake is here, to the east is the water outlet, the sewage goes deep underground and emerges at the bottom of the river; there's nothing to do there. The main problem is in the center. You could go down where I wrote "descent 1," but the rats have blocked the passage, so you'll have to go down in the lower part. The dots are rats, the approximate number, of course; no one counted them. And the large circle is the boss - a huge rat, the size of a sheep-goat. That's what Torus said; he's the only one who's seen it, and I have no reason not to trust him. So be careful. You can deal with the small ones relatively easily, but the big one... Although they're all big compared to ordinary rats.

An interesting situation is unfolding – nurses have appeared in the area, and almost all the guards have gone to join them in the monastery, while the city is being overwhelmed with problems that no one is addressing. Is this simply negligence, or some kind of dangerous influence, perhaps even witchcraft, or even a cunning conspiracy? Perhaps Arael knows something. Regardless, the mercenaries will now have to deal with the rats terrorizing the city.
The prospect of descending into the sewers, undoubtedly teeming with all sorts of vermin, did not particularly bother Radiell – after all, the breath of the Nightmare flows freely in his veins, and no earthly poisons or diseases are a match for him. And if he wants, he can simply hold his nose and not savor the aromas of the sewer. So, while waiting for the raid, he calmly played his flute, warming up and choosing a tune specifically for the ears of the rodents.

Do I need to use a free action to use the flute on the rats, or is this considered an out-of-battle action?

About sixty evening onlookers gathered to listen to Lin's speech, although most of them were not really listening, but simply staring at the half-naked girl. Perhaps the girl did not expect such a result, but out of all those gathered, 47 people became interested in the job.

Do I need to use a free action to use the rat whistle, or is this considered out of combat?
It will be a check before the start of the battle.
