Returning to the tavern, Joe, first of all, did what you might expect... that's right, he ordered beer and meat. And then more beer and other alcohol. And more. And more.
"To a successful raid!" he boomed, raising a toast to himself.

Also, I want to give these decks of playing cards to Uncle Zeikin and Josh," Lin said, handing the first deck with sisters on it to Zeikin, and the second deck with pirates on it to Josh. "I hope you'll find a use for them and they'll keep you warm at night.
"Is this for me?" the old pirate was surprised. "A 'gift'? For free? Just like that?" The former adventurer was so surprised that he even forgot about his drink. "Well, thank you! The last time old Joe received gifts... ah yes, my mother gave me a clean shirt for my tenth birthday, that was a while ago..." Wiping away the moisture that welled up in his eye, Joe frowned and quickly turned away.

In the morning, Fableup was in for an unpleasant surprise. His entire body, if it could be called a body, was covered in thick fur. Now he couldn't stick to anything or secrete any slime.
"Damn rat magic, and now it won't let us rest!" the old pirate shivered. "You should all drink more of this stuff, that's what! For medicinal purposes, of course. It cleanses the body of all sorts of filth, burns poison out of the stomach, and warms the soul! Although, maybe you'll dissolve completely from all that booze..." he added after a moment's thought.

Lin, Joe, and Zeikin went to the address indicated in the quest. A man opened the door of the small house. Thanks to the ring, Lin could see the ghost, as could Zeikin.
But why can't I see it?
Joe watched his companions animatedly talking to empty space with a dull interest, but he didn't understand anything.
- I have nothing to say to her, and I don't think she's in the mood for conversation. But I can try to offer a prayer to the Savior. Maybe that will help somehow. Saying this, Dorobo scratches the back of his head, pondering how best to proceed in this situation. Finally, he signals to everyone present to step back a little. Removing the Lady's heart from his neck, he carefully places it on the floor in front of the ghost, pausing his hand over it for a few moments. Then he fumigates the room with a match, and then takes out a deck of Orthodox cards and lays them out around the ghost - for a better effect. Finally, he sits on the floor in front of the restless soul, crossing his legs in a Turkish style, looks at her with compassion, then closes his eyes and puts his hands together in a prayerful gesture. - Kind mother, grieving princess, empress of sorrow and silence, dark ember in the depths of all-consuming darkness... I call upon you with a plea to see the pain of this tormented soul, unable to bear the imperfections of this wretched world... - not being a theologian, Zeikin did not know or remember most of the popular prayers, so in his mumbling he tried to express the emotional component with the words he could, expressing himself more with his heart than with his tongue. - ...May you ease her suffering, may you help her find peace, for there is no greater suffering in the world than endless eternity... the very thing that is destined for all those unfortunate people who console themselves with the false hope of shedding their material shackles at once... may they not be left alone with themselves in the pitch darkness... may they find peace, even if not in this doomed world, then in the next... Uncle mumbled various variations of the above for some time, until his vocabulary and imagination were completely exhausted, like a stream that had dried up under the scorching sun for many months.
To Zeikin's and everyone else's surprise, changes begin to occur in the ghost. Gradually, it transforms into a young woman.
The employer's face changes.
- N-n-no! Alyona! Why did you kill yourself?! No! - he falls to his knees before the ghost and begins to sob. - I... am I dead? - the ghost of the woman says with difficulty.

Nikta steps back a respectful distance. - So, what? Do we continue the hunt or do we send a report on what we have and go to the well? Ah, Frag?
- M-maybe someone is in the lighthouse and s-s-saw them? - asked Arael.

-- Clear, -- Henry wasn't really listening, but he caught the part about "22 years old" and the accompanying cheerful, student-like mood. -- I'll call you "kid." Alright, let's speed things up, because I'm already tired of carrying this Slug on my back, and we still have to walk back.
- Ahahaha! And I'll call you "little sneak"))
The mountain travelers needed more time to reach the troll cave. All this time, Davalia was telling stories from her student life. About fun student days, trips during the holidays, funny situations with teachers, and other similar things. Arriving at the cave, the mercenaries saw the following scene. All the trolls were sitting near the cave. Next to them stood a woman unknown to Henry, and she was singing.
The green troll, whom Fay spat on, had thick, silky hair. The other trolls were still bald. - I don't feel anything, - said Masha. - It's not growing. - Hmm, maybe we need to wait a few days, and maybe one of you will grow hair? - I don't know, maybe this one is also broken? - asked Dasha. - Well, we thought that one was broken too, but look, mine grew! - Ahem, - the woman coughed. - I'm not very good at singing, maybe you need a good singer? - I don't know, the wizard said that a woman had to sing for the hair to grow. One of them also said that she couldn't sing, but the hair grew, - replied the green one. - Yes, it grew! - the gray one chimed in.
Returning to the tavern, Joe first did what you might expect... that's right, he ordered beer and meat. And then more beer and other alcohol. And more. And more. —To a successful raid! —he boomed in a celebratory toast to himself.

Added 7 minutes ago Added rings for everyone except the NPCs; if needed, they can take them from the shared inventory. So, Joe can also see the ghost.

“Ugh, did I drink too much…” barely managing to stay on his feet, Joe was about to rub his eye, but he stopped at the last second: the menacing hook hovered dangerously close to his remaining eye socket. “Come to think of it, we once stumbled upon an abandoned trading vessel in a foggy cove, and there…” he trailed off, “I’ll tell you about it later.”
The green troll, whom Fay spat on, had a thick, silky head of hair. The other trolls were still bald. - I don't feel anything, - said Masha. - They're not growing. - Hmm, maybe we need to wait a few days and see if one of you grows hair? - I don't know, maybe this one is broken too? - asked Dasha. - Well, we thought that one was broken too, but look, mine grew! - Ahem, - the woman coughed. - I'm not much of a singer, maybe you need a good singer? - I don't know, the sorcerer said a woman had to sing for the hair to grow. One of them also said she couldn't sing, but her hair grew, - replied the green troll. - Yes, it grew! - the gray troll agreed.
-- Oh, I was afraid we were being overly optimistic, but the hair really is growing from the spitting, excellent, -- said Henry Davallie. -- It was worth the trip. Henry, looking like an expert, approaches the trolls. -- Yo, guys! We have an explanation for why the curse was lifted. Get ready to be amazed!
I'm not sure this ring will help me much, lol. Or will I be able to hear ghosts if I wear it?
See and hear, yes.

-- Oh, I was afraid we were being overly optimistic, but hair really does grow from spitting, excellent, -- said Henry Davallie. -- It was worth the trip. Henry approaches the trolls with an air of expertise. -- Yo, guys! We have an explanation for what lifted the curse. Get ready to be amazed!
- You again! - said the green one. - Come to deceive us again?

- It's you again! - said the green one. - Are you here to deceive us again?
-- Uh, what makes you say that? I may have exaggerated a bit back then, but you started it first, didn't you? Never mind, let's forget about it. Let's start with apologies. Anyway, I went to the alchemist, so... -- Henry pulls out a bottle of cream. -- This is a delivery for Dasha and Masha! It's a cream for delicate and silky hands. They were delaying the delivery because their main alchemist, a man, disappeared somewhere, and one woman was working overtime. But I mentioned you to her, and she gave me your cream.
-- Uh, what led you to that conclusion? I might have exaggerated a bit back then, but you guys started it first, right? Never mind, let's forget about it. Let's start with apologies. So, I went to the alchemist, and... -- Henry pulls out a bottle of cream. -- Here's a package for Dasha and Masha! Cream for delicate and silky hands. They were delaying the delivery because their main alchemist, a guy, disappeared somewhere, and one woman was working overtime. But I mentioned you to her, and she gave me your cream.
Green narrowed his eyes. He walked up to Henry, took the bottle, and gave it to Dasha. She opened the bottle and sniffed it. - This is our cream! - Alright, man, tell me what you need, - Green continued.
