and here's a party wipe without a fight

—Hmm, did I imagine it? —Klin squinted when one of his companions pointed out the stranger. He really had been baking in the sun for weeks on the road, and the blurred vision had become the norm. —Perhaps one of the employers? Just a moment, gentlemen.

The trio heads into a dangerous alley.

Yes, all three of them are heading there. I wouldn't want to lose a sword worth 100k... I mean, the Blade, like that.

— This is a specimen of a parasite species I once discovered. I called them "chillworms" because of where they live – in the cold, cave pools of the north. There is another way, but... it's not suitable for you. Don't misunderstand me, but if I try to expel the evil influence from you, you will be expelled along with it.

Oh, come on, I can just summon myself back, that's all.
Ignoring the part about expulsion, Merel returned to the parasite.
- And how many of these do you have? - the astrologer's mind was filled with questions. - Do you bring them, or have they adapted to the local conditions and reproduce here? And how long do they live, including inside a person? What if he suddenly dies while it's inside and somehow harms the person, or eats his brain while he's still alive, or something? - Merel continued. - I understand that there are too many questions, but I can't help but ask.

Finding themselves in a dangerous nighttime alley, the trio doesn't find the person they were looking for, but instead discovers a strange rift in space.

I’m going.

Finding themselves in a dangerous alley at night, the trio doesn't find the person they were looking for, but instead discovers a rift in space.

DON'T GO THERE, YOU IDIOT! YOU MORON! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? IT'LL EAT YOU!
Or you might just get isekai'd to Zhenya's basement.

Since Gion had only three hours left, and it turned out that he had borrowed the book about secret locations from Rafik, not from Keliandra, and they even deducted one gold from him for it, he now has nothing better to do than check out "Vishnyonka".

“That’ll do.” Having finished reading Keliandros’ list, Kreya casually tossed a pouch containing 320 gold pieces to her guest.

Added 8 minutes later

Oh, come on, I can just summon myself back, that’s all.
Ignoring the part about banishment, Merel returned to the parasite.
“And how many of these do you have?” the astrologer’s mind was filled with questions. “Do you bring them, or have they adapted to the local conditions and reproduce here? And how long do they live, including inside a human body? What if he suddenly dies while inside and somehow harms the person, or eats his brain while he’s still alive, or something?” Merel continued. “I know I’m asking too many questions, but I can’t help myself.”

“I travel north to get them, and there aren’t many of them, so they are very valuable. They live a long time, but you need to avoid high temperatures, whether from external sources, like the hot southern sun, or internal ones, like a cold. If something happens to it, it will detach from you, and its remains will be expelled from your body through a simple sneeze. Or a few. Our bodies have very good defense mechanisms.

After saying goodbye to the foul-mouthed woman, Keliandra heads to the Rabbit Hole, but along the way, she opens her diary and makes a few entries:

*Richard Goodville:** asks too many questions, is overly curious, but seems friendly. He might be useful in the future, either as a conversational partner or something more.

Kreya:** nothing remarkable. She just seems to enjoy insulting everyone.

Trader from "Dryad": a dangerous type. It's best to avoid him. Although he looks quite impressive.

Lothar Lost:** an interesting character. He doesn't seem like an artist at all, but he seems to be one. Unusual. He might be valuable.*

Having finished this, Keliandra enters the Rabbit Hole.

Even when the outline of a portal appeared at the far end of the long and deserted alley, Alaria immediately sought advice from the Septet. In particular, she asked if they were familiar with such magic and if they knew who was capable of it, and therefore could be a "suspicious person," but she also asked for advice on the course of action from the wise source of knowledge. Of course, the final decision, as always, was up to Klin, but the idea of blindly jumping into a suspicious portal was unappealing to the Tanarian.

Now he's going to check out "Vishenka" just because he has nothing else to do.

/ Now it turns out that "Vishenka" is the only place to go. /

— Uhm, — D:, — that won’t work, captain.
— Why not?
— I have a phobia, — :D, — you know, some people are afraid of the dark, heights, or enclosed spaces? — :), — Well, I have a fear of limited freedom.
— What kind of nonsense is that?

Beata and Lyde have so much in common...

/ Turns out, you can only go to Vishenka. /

According to my headcanon, both of my champions are bi, so maybe it will work

I'm coming.

Today's play was titled "Wolf's Lair."

The main character of this story, a girl named N., appears to be a modest musician. Her gentle and meek appearance makes every man lose his composure, wanting to protect her and make her his own, so that no one else could even touch a strand of her luxurious hair. However, as the plot develops, it turns out that this image of hers was just a well-thought-out mask, and in reality, the beautiful N. traded her body for expensive gifts and romantic adventures, which greatly excited her spoiled, greedy heart, craving male affection.

One day, once again using her charm like a spider uses its web, N. gets a very valuable amulet into her hands. The whole city is in an uproar, searching and searching for the amulet, but they cannot find it – it has disappeared without a trace, and no one suspects that it is now in the gentle hands of the modest musician. But even that was not enough for her. After meeting the bold wolf, resentment stirred in her heart – how could he take advantage of me and not fall in love? She decided that this could not be left unpunished.

In anger and resentment, she turns to the captain of the guard, who is busy searching for the missing amulet, and tells him that the wolf stole the amulet. The captain of the guard could not ignore these words and went to the wolf's lair. But he didn't go there alone, but with reinforcements. His assistants were C – an unwavering, hurricane-like female samurai; B – an elven knight; L – a sorceress; and even a priestess joined their ranks. This brave team arrives at the wolf's lair. They accuse him of something he did not do and want to shackle him and put him in a cage. But the wolf loved his freedom too much, and therefore refused such an offer. There was no peaceful resolution to the situation.

In the end, the wolf killed the sorceress, the elf, and the priestess, the female samurai and the captain of the guard fled, and the musician walked away into the sunset, as if what had happened had nothing to do with her.

With this, the performance came to an end, and Aiyano received +1 to Perception.

This is a brief summary of the events of the first RoM, right?

And I also realized that Astral missed the opportunity to come up with an insulting nickname for the most pathetic cat. I'm filling that gap now.
