Meanwhile, with the most inconspicuous novice assassin:

Albrecht approaches the capital guard's castle. He is truly inconspicuous. Probably...

At the entrance to the castle, he is noticed by the guards.

– Halt! What do you have?

– I have a letter for Captain Gortrich Akoren, from Captain Warren.

Ah, I remember: there's a character limit.

Anyway, here they are:

Additional negative effects in combat:

Weakness: reduces the target's damage individually for each source of the effect.
Slow: reduces the target's movement range in combat individually for each source of the effect.
Poison: deals damage at the beginning of the target's turn individually for each source of the effect.
Bleeding: deals damage at the end of the target's turn individually for each source of the effect.
Fear: the target is out of control for 2 of its turns and tries to maximize the distance from the source of the effect.
Paralysis: the target skips its next two turns.
Stun: reduces the target's initiative to 1 for its next two turns. Also, the target does not provide support or intercept during this time.
Charm: the target is out of control for 2 of its turns and tries to get as close as possible to the source of the effect.
Demoralize: individually reduces the target's level and stats.
Discomfort: individually reduces the target's chance to dodge.
Blindness: individually reduces the target's accuracy.
Dominate: individually takes control of the target.

Blast him to smithereens.

**Meanwhile, with the most inconspicuous novice assassin:**

Albrecht is overlooked. At the same time, Captain Akoren calls Trees to discuss the message from the Secret Guard.

– The Secret Guard... I assume it's something important. Were you asked to deliver anything besides the letter? – Gortrich Akoren asks the novice assassin.

**Albrecht Van Hosling loses the item Sealed Envelope.**



**Meanwhile, on the road:**

The cynical Amm doesn't even pay attention to the glorious death of his unfortunate comrade. Alas!

Dice roll result: 12

Nothing interesting happens. Peace and quiet. It's even surprising for these places!

– We will definitely survive... – Hacker muttered casually.

**The journey continues!**

An arrow in the wounded.
"Father, Yog-Sothoth, give me strength..."

— It’s all in the hands of the gods, you know…

Juvenius perfectly understood that they definitely wouldn’t be able to defeat another immortal, and he didn’t have time to grieve for Chukker – he was too busy worrying about his own skin.
"But I can tell colorful stories about how I fought an immortal. I’ll just leave out how I trembled and hid behind these two, and it will be a perfectly respectable tale."
Trying to think more about how he would present his new image as a victorious adventurer to society, and less about the prospect of encountering more creatures, Juvenius continues on his way.

Meanwhile, with the most inconspicuous novice assassin:

Albrecht is allowed to pass. At the same time, Captain Akoren summons Treebeard to discuss the message from the secret guard.

– The secret guard... I assume it's something important. Were you asked to deliver anything besides the letter? – Akoren clarifies with the novice assassin.

Albrecht Van Hosling loses the item Sealed Envelope.

- No, sir.

It seems it's time to use the oldest tactic of looters and try to escape the battle by declaring a retreat, especially since this is the only chance for Radianta to survive her bleeding, apart from potions. **

Kearak: in horror. 1 turn remaining.

**Meanwhile, on the road of occultism:**

Result of the d20 roll: 9

The favorite event of all travelers occurs: a sudden chest! Luckily, there can't be any mimics here!



**The chest contains the following rewards:**

1) 150 cetrens
2) Energy Potion x2

**Rewards are automatically transferred to the inventory.**

Fortunately for Yuventius, Hacker was too nervous to claim these treasures.

Terrified by the sight of her own blood, the rogue attempts to escape from the nightmarish hounds.

Fortunately for Juvenius, money always had a calming effect on him, and nothing prevented him from reaching out for it.
— Come here...

Let's move on.

/Has our energy recovered?/

Kearak and Radianta O'Mila each gain 60 experience points for killing enemies.

Radianta O'Mila levels up from 1 to 2 (5 free stat points).

BATTLE ENDED!

Quest failed.

In reality, the retreat had a negative result for Radianta, but Kearak benefited, and the narrator, as is well known, is a very kind person who wouldn't hurt a fly, so the unlucky duo safely escapes the cave with the puppies and makes it back to the capital. It costs them all their action points, so they can only go their separate ways from here.

– Oh, great lady, that was awful... – Kearak said, looking lost, and headed off towards the Pink Petals Guild. He definitely has a new phobia now: puppies!

Radianta, on the other hand, had a direct path to the looters.

Meanwhile, on the chest-hunting trail:

Result of the d20 roll: 20

Amm and half of his party encounter a group of Sorn-Tarn cultists. It's nice to see some familiar faces in this wilderness! There are several simple workers in red robes and one Salitil priestess, a spellcaster who combines the power of the Blood school and the power of seduction.

– Greetings, brothers! Where are you headed?

While waiting for someone named Dеревоса, Albrecht remembered a strange dream he had that night: a plump girl, comically shaking her melons, was running away from a pack of puppies. Amused, the young man decided that after work, he would buy himself a good watermelon for dessert.

— Hello, sister! — stepping aside from his taciturn companion, Yuventius gallantly kisses the priestess’s hand. — I must admit, your magnificent appearance is enough to make a man forget his original purpose! Yuventius paused for a moment. — Our path leads to the capital. Would it be a happy coincidence if you were also heading in that direction?

"That's why I wanted a third member on the team," Radianta thought, watching her new acquaintance walk away and feeling a little sad that he didn't even say goodbye. She could only hope that what happened wouldn't leave him with serious emotional trauma, and even better, that he wouldn't tell anyone about the tentacles, or things could get awkward. Regardless, the physically and emotionally exhausted adventurer mentally thanked her underwater benefactor and her busy father for saving her (+2 to faith, +2 to stamina, +1 to agility), after which she headed home.

– Your strength will be useful to us,” the warrior hastened to reassure Harold, “now you can live in our Rampart and carry out special assignments that we usually don't share with random adventurers. For now, I advise you to get acquainted with the city. The capital is large, and there are plenty of noteworthy places for true warriors. As soon as a worthy job appears, I will let you know. Here is a key to a free room on the third floor.

Harold is left to his own devices.

Harold had no doubt that he would be accepted into the mercenaries, and even more so that he would soon be given the most difficult assignments, because compared to the local softies, a real northerner could complete tasks for ten.
—Guys, where can I get some beer and meat after a long journey? —having accepted the key, he called out to the locals at the last moment.
