- Maybe we should just put out an announcement that we need a singer, in case Lin doesn't want to sing? - suggested Davalia. - We don't know how much longer VANUS TRACHALION will be stuck there, and I don't think it's worth waiting.

You will reach the lighthouse around midnight.

-- I'm already tired of laughing, so this name doesn't affect me anymore, -- said Henry. -- Okay, I agree with everything. Let's go. If they want to wait, let them. In general, it's easier to travel in a large group.
By default, we'll go to the tavern, and then we'll see what Lin decides.

If possible, wait for the entire squad to reunite before the criminals escape, and then attack – we wait and attack.
If not, we attack with six units (Lin and Nikta's squads).
If only Nikta's squad can attack, then we don't attack.

Watching his comrades diligently improve their skills, Joe also decided to give it another shot and prove to everyone that his past experience and dexterity are still valuable, and even an old dog can learn new tricks. For starters, he tried juggling bottles, as there was nothing else at hand, but after one of them broke on his head, splashing his already dirty clothes, he decided to empty their contents first. He spent most of the day on this curious activity, and by the end of it, the former adventurer could only boast the ability to teleport alcoholic liquid from glass containers into leather ones.
Tripping over a pothole with his wooden leg, Joe stumbled onto some barrels, knocking them over and breaking one. Muttering a curse, the cripple somehow got up from the ground and awkwardly limped towards the gathering point of the assault squad. Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck his intoxicated mind. The old pirate began to frantically turn the poorly lubricated mechanisms on the grappling hook, then attached his saber to the stump, somehow tied a rusty chain, and secured it to the trigger. With difficulty, he extended his disfigured joint in front of him, aimed, and clicked his finger with his good hand.
Instead of the usual hook shooting forward like a gladiator's spear, the saber flew out. Piercing another crate along the way, it shattered someone's window, disappearing into the alley with a loud crash. Clicking the chain switch again, Joe immediately pulled the launched weapon back and burst into loud laughter with his toothless mouth.

Joe is learning a new ability: Harpoon Gun; +5 Perception and +1 Physical Development
The character selects any of the available melee weapons and fires it with a harpoon chain. All enemies within a distance of X in a straight line receive X damage (depending on the selected weapon and other modifiers). Damage and critical hit chance increase by X% for each subsequent successfully hit target (piercing shot). Requires a hook modification.

If possible, wait for the entire squad to reunite before the criminals escape, and then attack.
If not, attack with the six of them (Lin and Nikta's squads).
If only Nikta's squad can attack, then don't attack.

Eavesdropping on the bandits' conversations, Nikta learned that they were planning to leave as soon as it got dark enough. After receiving this information, Lin concluded that Henry's squad would not have time to return in time. Therefore, it was decided to head to the lighthouse to unite with Nikta's squad and develop a plan for further actions.

Will Lin be leveling up anything? I wouldn't want to have to correct the numbers because of the single point in cognitive abilities.

Everything is about dexterity.

Why didn't you answer me?

- Maybe we should just put out an announcement that we need a singer, in case Lin doesn't want to sing? - suggested Davalia. - Who knows how long VANUS TRAKHALION will be stuck there, I don't think it's worth waiting.

- Maybe we should just kill him, and that's it? The curse will probably be lifted after his death.

Why didn't he answer me?

He probably missed it.

- Miss Fay, I don't think it's that simple, and it could damage the reputation of the Claws, not to mention the moral and ethical aspects of such an act.

It deals damage based on the standard multiplier and the critical hit chance for each target is equal to the Perception stat. You can also fire at a single target.

- Yes, Arael, if the guardian doesn't mind, a beacon is also an option.

But things have already progressed, so we'll wait for Revnya's squad and then play PvP.

Take a break today. Think about how you will deal with the bandits.

What's there to think about? Let's send Locken to have a little "man-to-man" talk.

Honestly, I don't think this is a diplomacy quest. They're a bunch of scoundrels. But we can try to persuade them to surrender peacefully, maybe scare them a little.

Yeah, I think the probability of successfully intimidating and capturing a living creature is very high; I don't even think a check is needed for that.

Well, Lokken and Heroist are the ones who mostly try to intimidate us. And Frag, if he turns into some unknown monstrosity. No one will be scared of Lin or Araeli, and not even me, unless I sneak up from behind and hold a knife to their throat.

Think about how you're going to deal with the bandits.

We'll just kill them, that's all. They'll definitely stop robbing people after they're dead.

A certain location, shortly before the confrontation with the fugitives.

- The plan is simple: we surround them and kill them. If anyone has any suggestions or requests, I'm open to them.
