- Can I record the details of XXX life in a bandit fort and in lunar elf slavery? Should I?
- No, I won't record it. Why? Action is better than a thousand words... no, I'm still not in the mood, so don't even think about it.
Небо – угроз не слышит
Небо – ведёт особый счёт
Небо – тебя найдёт
Skills: Ambition
The character can spend a week's worth of Action Points to instantly find a new recruit for their team.
I don't even know what to joke about regarding Tyros. This is what baboonism leads to. He's completely lost it.
- What a shy guy! And how many centimeters do you have? A big stick or just a little finger?

Berimir, Tyros, and Gorazd (no).
Let's do it this way. First entry - 3 characters (two bandits and a leader), 1 location (bandit hideout), 1 event (basically, the whole scene), total 5.
Second entry - 1 location (room), 1 character (his exes, but there are no distinct personalities, so we can count them as one), 2 events (got sick + Beata turned out not to be a sick jerk), total 4.
Third entry - 1 location (outside), 2 events (Beata is still not a sick jerk + a bedroom scene), total 3.
I'm almost finished with the regular diary, just a little bit left, I'll post it soon.

—Don't get burned, captain. My body emits an evil, decaying aura. Please, are there any other useful items lying around? Unfortunately, each character can only search the shore once in their lifetime.
5 units of provisions
Dignity (claymore)
Larian steel; a richly ornamented claymore.
Damage: 85%
Accuracy: 50%
Armor penetration.
Critical: additional attack.
Canned food x5
Rags for Klin (they didn't need to be searched for)
Why did she manage to find what Klin couldn't? It wasn't because there was a limit on one character, but... Probably because she was an experienced sailor, and that somehow helped her find what he couldn't!

And in general, you got rid of the burns just in time.
Day Twenty-One
We got caught in a storm. Terrible weather. A couple of sailors were almost swept overboard.
Day Twenty-Two
Another storm. This time I was smarter and didn't even poke my nose onto the deck. Spent the whole day in the cabin with Beata, playing strip poker.
Day Twenty-Three
A storm again, what the hell. Some weather in these seas.
Day Twenty-Four
Guess what? Another storm. Out of boredom, Beata invented a new card game. Strip poker again. She made up the rules on the fly, so I never won a single round.
Day Twenty-Five
The weather was surprisingly good. I was even happy. As it turned out — in vain.
Day Twenty-Six
As soon as I relaxed, the ship jolted. Rushing onto the deck, I realized we had hit an iceberg. The captain ordered us into the lifeboat, but it was only enough for our crew. Lamaris himself refused to abandon his vessel and went down with it, saluting us. Beata cried, and I admit, my eyes were wet too. Fortunately, we all survived.
Day Twenty-Seven
Drifting in the boat, it was terribly cramped. With no privacy, there was no thought of, say, passing the time with Zorica. Judging by Garrett's look, he was thinking the same thing. But at least there was no storm. Otherwise, we'd never have made it...
Day Twenty-Eight
We landed on the pirates' island. We were greeted with a very... warm welcome in the form of a huge pirate airship — a behemoth that bombed us and doused us with napalm.
The battle was tense, but I, alas, have nothing to brag about. Beata and Garrett, though, were great. Kilika and Aiko too. Thanks to them, the airship was shot down, but at a very high cost. As for me... I just ran around below.
The airship bombed us, and then the girls shot it down, and the fire spread, so it started falling. Gods... It fell right on the weakest part of the squad, those trying to flee. Fortunately, Kalina survived and managed to revive Zorica, and they restored the others. But most of the squad suffered horrific burns.
Then we reached the pirate fortress, where a battle was raging between them and the besieged. We intervened — or rather, Kilika did, with a rain of fire. We just finished off the pirates who didn't get away.
We were led to the leader of the besieged — a rather laconic but richly dressed lady. From her, we learned we could leave on a hot air balloon and set off towards it.
Two of her assistants accompanied us. The first was an experienced fighter who knew the island well.
The second was a young guy caught up in this mess against his will. He was clearly out of his element; the reluctance to die was written all over his face.
But he had to... Alas. The balloon couldn't carry everyone. Beata and I first wanted to stay with Aiko and fight our way to the harbor, but she ordered us to leave. Aiko herself insisted on staying. Gods... I regret so much not grabbing her then! I regret so much not disobeying Beata and staying there! I saw how she was torn apart, how she didn't want to leave either Aiko or Zorica, but she didn't want to lose me even more. I can't blame her or myself. But... I just feel sorry, terribly sorry for everyone who stayed. If I could change the past, I would have done what Meral and Garrett did. I would have thrown out that damned Mellen, who so carelessly disregarded Aiko's sacrifice...
Day Twenty-Nine
Flying in the balloon. The former pirate prisoner huddled in a corner and didn't respond to attempts to talk to her.
Day Thirty
Still flying. Boring. Can't even play strip poker.
Day Thirty-One
Met the new month in flight, hurray! Played cards for stakes. Not as fun as strip poker. Turns out Garrett cheats just as well as Beata.
Day Thirty-Two
Still flying. Out of boredom, I felt like banging my head against the side, but Beata talked me out of it. By evening, the shore appeared.
Day Thirty-Three
Finally flew into some city. Didn't have much time to look around; I wanted to get home quickly. Fortunately, they didn't keep us there long.
We were taken to the station and put on a train. We left at night.
Day Thirty-Four
Traveling by train. They didn't spring for a compartment; we had to sit in open-plan seating. Meral snored horribly in his sleep.
Day Thirty-Five
Still traveling. I was sick of seeing cards. Fortunately, Beata walked through the carriage and borrowed some checkers from someone. Hooray, variety.
Day Thirty-Six
Long live Margel, long live our dear Carneol! I almost kissed Astellia and Raphael. Never thought I'd be glad to see his sneering face... Eh, I miss him a bit... But I'm getting ahead of myself.
Got our pay and gifts from V. I received a gag. Judging by Beata's pleased face, she might have suggested the gift idea to V.
We also got new leadership sent to us. Erefir — the complete opposite of Aiko. A bruiser with a huge club on her back, could take down anyone in the squad in one-two. Yet a rather nice young lady who knows how to hold herself in conversation. We went to show her around the city; Meral and Garrett tagged along.
First we went to Izobilie; we needed to buy clothes. I hadn't been there before, but judging by Beata's reaction, the place had changed a lot. A huge store with tons of everything, plus a bar attached. Plenty of room to stretch out.
Though the saleswoman, Enio, was... Very strange. When I saw her, I suddenly understood everything Beata had told me about her. Yeah... Quite a girl. More over-the-top than Beata in many ways.
We stopped by "List". Turns out the vendor had expanded the assortment, even scouted out sources of chillies and arranged their supply, which is heartening.
Then we went to the hospital. A sterile white building that smelled like a hospital, not very cozy, but who cares? The main thing was you could get treated for injuries there... And I had some.
I asked a very friendly and patient employee named Marie at the reception desk who could help me with my injuries from the beating. She led me to a doctor.
Doctor Bresia Antimachus was... Not so friendly. Brr. I certainly appreciate her medical talent; she literally saved my life, but... I think I've already managed to get on her nerves. At least she knew her job perfectly, and she's definitely not as rude as Kalina.
Anyway, she healed me, though it took ages and just about everything hurt. But I still had the strength to walk around.
So we showed Erefir our favorite Tentacle, where there were also updates — Evgeny had started blessing people for money. A born businessman...
Though Bronislava looked very nervous. I first thought she'd been offended or was uncomfortable, but we managed to find out what happened, and it turned out she needed help with a gift. Beata and I promised to take care of it.
Then we went to Ogma's Bar — a new establishment, a very quiet and cozy bar with calm lighting. Perfect for celebrating the new leader's appointment. Though I didn't feel up to joining in the drinking, so I just sat for company.
Arthur Ogma, the bar owner, used to work at "Izobilie". Seems like he found his place in life — he was very friendly and talkative. Happy for him.
Finally, we stopped by Hellfire — now that's a fitting name! The forge blazed with such heat you could feel it from the door.
We planned to order wedding rings there... At least the blacksmith Krag said he could do it, but asked for a hefty sum. A hefty sum for a hefty man, makes sense. We didn't have the money yet, so we left empty-handed. Besides, I was very tired, and Beata insisted on seeing me home.
38 entries total, even more than needed. Though I fudged it a bit in a couple of places. And since I'm writing day by day, I stretched some events over several days, hope that's okay. If needed, you can trim it.

– Sir Rainabaris, perhaps you are familiar with this state of inspiration on a Wednesday evening, when it seems that one could move mountains. Would you be so kind as to allow a humble craftswoman to use the forge for her needs at this hour... I would also take a lesson in manners from you, it sounds extremely tempting, but I understand that you may already be too tired.
