-- Yeah, and guess what, all the locals show up! Well, it's a nice place you've got here. Except, maybe, for the whirlpool, but we don't know about that yet. So, which way is the Cyclops? We're in a hurry, so let's go.

Alexander led the mercenaries to the path that led into the forest. And he went after the cart.
- Go straight, to the clearing.

Soon, the adventurers reach the clearing, in the center of which sits a large Cyclops and cries.

- M-m-mom! Where are you? Mom! Where am I? Who are all these people around? Mom! Mom!
He sobs.

- I understand. Well, then I'll try to contact him and discuss this issue with him. What about the payment, by the way?

- By the way! Almost forgot. This isn't the only problem with the mine. There are also nasty bugs that have infested it, and they're about the size of a dog. We'll need to kill them. 250 gold for everything. If you agree to help me, I'll give you a map of the mine and the keys to it.

Another route led higher into the mountains, to the west.

- It might sound good, but I can't compete with the cheap sugar from Nestiar, you see? I'll just go bankrupt!

Let's go. The same plan, stealthily. There are some ruins nearby. We won't go there.

"And doesn't your wife need help clearing out the mines?" - We'll take care of it. After receiving the keys and the map, I return to the tavern to look for the warlock.

"@$% he's huge! Turns out, it's not a Cyclops, but a cyclop! They could have just said that right away, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this..."
Henry hesitated for a moment, but then sighed and approached the cyclop.
-- Hey, little guy, are you lost?

Okay. Same approach, using stealth. There are some ruins nearby. We won't go there.

Nikta and Zeikin reach the cave. Near it, they can smell a strong scent of the plant they are looking for, and another smell that reminds them of birds.

"Does your wife need any help clearing out the mines?"
- We'll take care of everything.

After receiving the keys and the map, I return to the tavern to look for the sorcerer.

The sorcerer wasn't in the tavern. But the tavern keeper said that he was planning to go to the hot springs, which are to the southwest.

-- Hey kid, are you lost?

- Aaaah! Don't hit me! - the cyclop covers his face with his hands.

Lin wonders if she will have time to visit the springs and return before evening. Otherwise, it won't be good – first, she'll announce something, and then disappoint people.

-- Calm down, we're good guys, -- Henry was at least confident in that about himself. -- We won't hurt you. We'll find your mother, just don't cry. Where do you live, in the mountains? Don't cry, okay?

It won't be before evening, but she might meet Henry and the others and go together.

– Quiet, quiet, we're good, – Henry was at least sure of that about himself. – We won't hurt you. We'll find your mother, just don't cry. Where do you live, in the mountains? Don't cry, do you hear?

The Cyclops is still scared.
- Will you find my mother? 😢 My mother is in the mountains. Mother! Mother! 😭

Henry approaches very cautiously.
-- I said we'll find her, so we will. In the mountains, I understand. Do you have anything that belongs to your mom? We can find her by her scent. A toy, a rattle, maybe a piece of clothing? Are you hungry?

Nikta and Zeikin reach the cave. Near it, they sense a strong smell of the plant they are looking for, and another smell that resembles the scent of birds.

The huntress listens and sniffs. How many of these birds are there, how big are they, and how dangerous are they? Does the smell come from the cave, or did they just pass by? Wait for me. I'll gather the herbs, level up, and help clear the mines. I have a stat boost in dungeons.

- A club! My mom gave me a club! - the cyclops picks up a large club that was lying next to him and shows it to Henry. - Hungry? Yes, I want to eat! Milk! 😢

A strong smell of "birds" comes from the cave. Listening, Nikta hears a sound that resembles the snorting of something large.
