They really messed up with this sewer system. Okay, we'll figure out how to deal with these rats, I'll stick with you for now. Otherwise, I'm not very active in the game lately, I have work and comics to do.

Why are you on a leash? All the other openings in Nikta work fine. She hears everything perfectly and can navigate well by sound.

Lin put her hands on her hips and leaned forward slightly, a smirk on her face. "What do you think? I am a professional, after all; I don't make empty promises!" Lin hands a deck of Witch cards to the leader of the group. "Heh, but that's not all!" Immediately afterward, she hands a deck of Elf cards to the one of the three who had spoken in favor of this option. "And this is especially for you because you weren't afraid to stand your ground despite public disapproval... That's what a man should be like." After thinking about her actions, Lin decided that it was better for the boys to admire beautiful things rather than demons or other disturbing subjects. "By the way, I don't need any money from you." Lin didn't take the five gold needed to buy the cards, nor did she accept any reward coins. "Let this be my gift to you, and in return, spread the word about 'Claws of the North,' especially about squad 731 and its magnificent commander - Lin." As a farewell, the mercenary kissed each of the boys on the cheek, so they would have something to remember, and also so they wouldn't grow up to be homosexuals, as that was a problem in her home world.

our unexpected reward for recruiting made me sad 😞
well, it was easy to get, so it was easy to lose...

The boys were overjoyed. They thanked Lin and promised to tell all their friends and relatives how cool and awesome the Hammers of Fate are.
Lin receives:
25 experience points
+1 to cognitive abilities

The Rats will probably be here tomorrow.

For now, can you clarify the intelligence data regarding the Fragment? Are the rats only emerging through our entrance hatch, the one we used to enter? Or are there many holes? If there are many, barricades are pointless.

Many.

you don't have to kill the rats; you can simply lure them with a melody into Arca, where they will disappear.

"Ah, if only I could turn back the clock by ten years...", thought the mercenary as the boys disappeared from her sight. "Okay, I'll give the pirate girls to Josh, and the Zeike sisters to the guys; let them enjoy it, and it will be an extra reason for them to return safe and sound."

Well, it's just one rat. I think it's worth killing it and using it to find out something.
Besides, our mission is to kill EVERYONE. What if they don't disappear if we kill the boss?

Okay, let's chase after the boss then. I don't see any problem with that... Let's go and take it down. The Faction is ready, and the mercenaries are preparing to attack.

I'm in for 2 -> 1.

based on my MMO experience, I'd say that as soon as we aggro the boss, the entire dungeon will converge on us.
but I don't mind either option.

Ah, for the first time in the game, I regret creating a blind champion; otherwise, I would have gone and asked for playing cards with naked elves, sorcerers, pirates, or sons of darkness...

Alright, so we'll chase after the boss. I don't see a problem with the order...
Let's go kill it. Frag is making noise, the mercenaries are getting ready to attack.

Using her musical skills, Radiel attracts the rat's attention. As if hypnotized, the rodent runs up to the mercenaries and stops near the elf.

"Oh, if only I could be ten years younger right now...", the mercenary thought as the boys disappeared from her sight. "Okay, I'll give the pirate cards to Josh, and the sister cards to Zeik, let the guys enjoy them, and it will be another reason to return safe and sound."

I completely forgot that the children were supposed to give something to Lin...

As a thank you for helping them buy playing cards, the children gave Lin an ordinary card, which was quite worn, saying that they found it in one of the city's alleys.

"It's probably time to hire a cartographer for the squad; otherwise, I don't understand anything, and I'm not really familiar with these things. Well, maybe someone from the guys will figure it out."
Hiding the map in a safe place, Lin decides to visit Nishion to find out about the prices, just in case her team wants to relax after a difficult mission.
