I would like to be "alive and well" by that time.
-- May it come true, -- he nodded.
- Hmm? - 😒. - Can you promise that this won't be another piece of garbage like some "academic" nonsense or a pointless, awful twist that threatens to ruin everything? Because I can perfectly manage without either of those. Despite your advanced age, some of you are just too high-maintenance.
-- You have skepticism regarding the armor, Alaria? -- remarked the redhead as the Tanarsian woman began to philosophize to herself. -- Well, that's why I said, 'dream on.' There's no point discussing a protective device whose principle of operation hasn't even been invented yet, only a few hypotheses exist ) But if it works out the way I want, the armor's adaptability will be supernatural; we'll just need to accumulate more mass, and then with skillful management of it, any enemy move could be rendered ineffective. I mean, for example... One of the most dangerous ultimate attacks I can imagine is forced teleportation. If a mage distorts the very space around a victim, even magic immunity might not save the latter from being pulled into a portal and a cruel death in a thickness of underground magma, but in the armor I described, you could simply sacrifice a piece of accumulated mass and avoid such an assault with little effort. Although, of course, even then no absolute guarantees can be made, but that's why I've always believed that speed is actually more important than durability; armor is for when you've blundered with your own attack, attention to surroundings, or escape, and have to deal with the consequences, -- she winked.
— Well, you've admitted yourself that even in an ideal scenario where absolutely everything works as it should, mass is not infinite, and to defend against some techniques you'll have to expend it. Not to mention that you could simply be caught off guard, — the girl spread her hands, — even the variant you described doesn't quite achieve total invulnerability, in its most optimistic form. However, regarding speed, I agree with you. I myself once, for that reason among others, abandoned restrictive full plate armor.
-- Well, here we go again, getting down to specifics: if this project gets support, then in ten years a new type of instant mail could become widespread in Velfern. A concept intended primarily for military use. It would be able to travel even to the most remote regions of the country, and at any moment reach a city and contact someone for work... With you, for example. )
- Well, aren't those some questions... Hopefully, we'll still be alive in ten years, with our lifestyle, - Beata chuckled.
- And you're an optimist, - Guyon snorted.
- And I am an optimist, I have a ton of plans! Firstly, - she began to count on her fingers, - to live with Guyosha happily ever after.
- Oh, on that our plans align.
- Secondly. I'm shocked myself, but maybe we'll restore Phantasmagoria, expand it - let there be both a theater and a circus. That is, if the performance goes well. But I want to help the cultural life of Margel! Most likely, I'll fight my way to being the director of that bacchanalia, if I don't get bored halfway through.
- Don't worry, if you get bored, I'll be there to make sure you don't slack off.
- Some comfort, damn it... Thirdly, everyone knows XXX? I think it's very wrong that we have such an establishment only for one half of humanity, so I'm thinking of opening its kind twin brother - YYY, which will serve only women! - she showed her grandiose plan, written in her diary.
- What kind of cook am I... - Guyon sighed, - Take Alaria instead.
- I can't take Alaria, she'll have her own pastry shop! But we can buy desserts from her and support her business.
- Thought of everything, - the swordsman snorted sarcastically.
- You bet! Well, if I get tired of running the circus and YYY, I can always go traveling! And no, Guyosh, not like before. I've reconsidered my views on life; I'll be dispensing kindness and imposing justice!
- Why in this scenario are you speaking about yourself in the singular?
- Well, uh...
- Do you seriously think you'll weasel out of me? You need someone to stop you from the really stupid adventures.
- And someone needs to keep an eye on you too, so you don't get another injury or something worse... It's a deal, if we take off on a trip, we go together.
- That's settled.
- And if we don't take off?
- I think I'll continue my medical career, - Guyon smiled dreamily. - I think I've found my calling. Maybe I'll even pick up some psychotherapy skills.
- You're good at it, yeah, - Beata nodded.
- But generally, ten years is a very long time, a lot can change.
- Well, roughly speaking. And roughly, it would be something like that.
—If I may answer my own question... Then by that time I'd like to be 'alive and well'. —those who understood knew what the knight meant. —Also... I hope at that time I'll be in my homeland. It's unlikely that in less than one generation Cridear will return to its former state, but if we at least have a small peaceful settlement, that will be enough for my soul. Well, thirdly, it would be nice to see not just myself, but all of us together ten years from now. Like a class reunion, only a reunion of the Cridearians or something like that. That would be a good and pleasant ending, or rather 'continuation' of this divine comedy. As for the probabilities, hopes-despairs, and doubts about the realization of such a bright picture against the bombardment of unmanned airships tomorrow morning, I'll leave that to Mother Goddess, — no need to add pessimism to this evening.
— I promise you, Clin, that I will visit you regularly even outside of such 'Cridearian reunions', — the warrior woman wanted to ruffle the knight's hair, but she feared knocking his crown askew and instead just patted him on the shoulder.
"Got it, so you are a vampire after all, Blade... The Crown 👑 is an artifact for protection from the sun, and your constant donor is Sanexa. In Calcite, it was probably Alaria... Yes, most likely that traumatic experience stems from there, no wonder you both tell so little about it. I also wish you life and health."

- I want to travel to every region of the empire, - Kilika finally answered, - after all, rumors and letters on paper are nothing compared to the actual landscapes, smells, people, and everything else. Well, then, in about ten years or so, I'll probably own my own cozy little house somewhere in the vicinity of Margel and live there with my husband and three, or even five, children. There.
- Okay... but if this turns out to be some nonsense, don't blame me. I'll be right back, - says Sonata (or whoever is nearby).
- I want to visit every region of the empire," Kilika finally replied, "rumors and words on paper are nothing compared to the real landscapes, smells, people, and everything else. And then, in about ten years, I'll probably have my own cozy little house somewhere near Margel and live there with my husband and three, or even five, children. That's it.
- You've already decided everything for me!" the Tanar said, "What if I do something else? It might even be more fun. On the one hand, I could be a respected monster hunter, maybe even the head of an organization... but on the other hand, I could regularly visit your establishment!" She laughed loudly. "You have a good idea, I like it. And I could help with training the staff," she said, and for a moment, it seemed to her that this wording sounded a little ambiguous, implying that she wouldn't be busy with anything else at that time.

- We were just joking.

Erephir smiled, then suddenly became thoughtful.
-- Listen, everyone, an important philosophical question: what will the children's ears look like? Will they resemble their mother's or their father's?
- Well, you yourself admitted that even in the ideal scenario, where everything works as it should, the amount is not infinite, and you'll have to sacrifice some of it to protect against certain attacks. Not to mention that you can simply be caught off guard," the girl said, spreading her hands, "even the scenario you described doesn't guarantee complete invulnerability, in its most optimistic form. However, I agree with you about speed. I myself once, for this reason, abandoned cumbersome armor.
- I'll be glad if you can tell me more about your invention later," Alaria knew that such details should be discussed in a more private setting, "it would be very interesting to hear.
🏹🎪+⛓️♿=💕
The redhead's smile clearly said, "Mass isn't infinite, but it can be so much that no one can handle it; just look at the skills of the metalworking school!)))"
My question for everyone is: who do you respect the most in life?
"Even including that bony weirdo chilling in my inventory."
— This is actually quite surprising, considering that I rarely stayed with my companions for very long for various reasons. That's why I'm glad that I've finally found myself in a reliable and capable group.
Garrett decided not to delve too deeply into this topic, considering it unnecessary to directly mention that in his past life, he hardly truly respected anyone or anything other than his own self-interest. Well, except perhaps for some of his family traditions and his somewhat unreliable brother. However, the more perceptive ones could probably guess that anyway.
Okay, to everyone: what's the best panorama or landscape you've ever seen in your life?
- Question for the foreigners! Is there anything in Welfern that you liked and would like to see in your homeland? And vice versa – is there anything you miss from home that you don't have here?

You Are A:
True Neutral Human Warlock/Rogue (1st/1st Level)
Ability Scores:
Strength- 16
Dexterity- 18
Constitution- 17
Intelligence- 10
Wisdom- 15
Charisma- 11
Alignment:
True Neutral- A true neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. He doesn't feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most true neutral characters exhibit a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil after all, he would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, he's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. Some true neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run. True neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion. However, true neutral can be a dangerous alignment when it represents apathy, indifference, and a lack of conviction.
Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.
Primary Class:
Warlocks- Warlocks are driven by an insatiable need for knowledge and power, which compels them to enter into a pact with an otherworldly being. Sometimes the relationship between a warlock and their patron is like that of a cleric and a deity, though the beings that serve as patrons to warlocks are not gods. A warlock might lead a cult dedicated to a fey prince, an archdevil, or an utterly alien entity - beings not typically served by clerics. More often, though, the arrangement is similar to that between a master and an apprentice. The warlock learns and grows in power, at the cost of occasional services performed on the patron's behalf.
Secondary Class:
Rogues- Rogues have little in common with each other. While some - maybe even the majority - are stealthy thieves, many serve as scouts, spies, investigators, diplomats, and simple thugs. Rogues are versatile, adaptable, and skilled at getting what others don't want them to get. While not equal to a fighter in combat, a rogue knows how to hit where it hurts, and a sneak attack can dish out a lot of damage. Rogues also seem to have a sixth sense when it comes to avoiding danger. Experienced rogues develop nearly magical powers and skills as they master the arts of stealth, evasion, and sneak attacks. In addition, while not capable of casting spells on their own, a rogue can sometimes 'fake it' well enough to cast spells from scrolls, activate wands, and use just about any other magic item.

"This looks more plausible than Erefir's stories about hero knights... Well, at least I didn't turn out to be a villain, although I didn't go too far either."
- So, what would you like to ask... - Beata thoughtfully surveys the gathering, - what did you want to be when you grew up?
- What about the benefits of a developed civilization? Although it's hard to say if anything would take root there, after all, it's a completely different environment, the lands are harsh and generally not very conducive to human existence, and the society is quite specific and strictly traditional. And vice versa. I would, of course, like the customs common in Welfern to be closer to my own, but... The ideology is too contradictory to the local church, it's not the same as the Ikigai of Kalina, and as soon as I arrived and tried to find out about the similarities between the cultures, I was directly threatened with reprisals by the church if I continued to develop this topic. The patriarch himself was more tolerant, but still, in the current situation, this does not seem feasible either now or in the foreseeable future, which is, of course, very regrettable. It turns out that in Welfern, I can only forget my original ideals as a fantastic dream and try to adapt to the local culture as much as possible.
