– Nice to meet you, – the NPC shakes the extended hand. – I am an NPC, and my task is to exist within the stronghold of the plunderers. My father, mother, and grandfather were also named NPC; it’s a family name. I worship the god NO_NAME. You probably haven’t heard of him; it’s also a family faith, shrouded in mystery. As for recent events... it’s outrageous that individuals with a beauty level below DELETED_VALUE have infiltrated the capital!

– Ha-ha, you’re quite amusing; I bet you have no shortage of admirers. – Radi carefully examined her interlocutor, not entirely sure if she had correctly guessed their gender. – Well, I’m all for what’s good and against what’s bad, so I think we’ll get along, NPC! – Becoming more serious, she continued. – Do you know how yesterday’s raid by our brothers and sisters went? I’d like to hear the details of what happened.

well, let's say you can, but only very close

How close do you need to be? Can you be behind it? 🤓

– Yes, we have a lovely relationship with my dear, sweet NPC, – the NPC agreed. – Some were killed by demonologists, several girls were seduced by incubi, and several guys were seduced by succubi. But the raid reached Xandar Merian himself. However, at this point, most of the looters scattered. Alas and alack! In the cut content, this Xandar was an important NPC, but in the end, he was reduced to a boss in an updated quest. Oh, this content optimization!

Literally, this means from the adjacent cell to the left, right, below, or above, you pervert!

— I don't like the word "farewell"... Let's say "goodbye" instead!

Now, there's nowhere to look but the endless road and Hacker's sour face.
Let's keep going.

- What a horror... Well, I think it's still too early for a weakling like me to delve into such high-level matters, so I'll just go about my business. Thank you for the information and the pleasant conversation, Enpees, I wish you a good mood and send my warm regards to your lovely one, goodbye!
After saying goodbye to the robot, Radianta decides to visit the Academy of Celia-Mira in the hope of meeting some of her old classmates there.

Lock, maybe we can do it this way? Let the Guardian block the passage, and I'll go through to heal the Captain. I think we have a chance to defeat them all if we heal him in time.

- We'll resurrect our bro later, sir! - says Derevos. - And we'll cut these ones down like pigs!


I don't think there's much to plan here — the captain and the bottom-left guy are beating on whoever's closest in melee, the shooters are firing at those same targets or at the far ones.
If 3+ bodies remain, I throw a grenade. Can't lay it out cell by cell just yet, I'm a bit busy.
If Nebo wants, he can take over — nothing special needed here, just move and chop.

Lock, maybe let's do it this way? Let the guard close off the passage, and I'll go heal the captain. I think we've got a chance to wipe them all if we heal in time. 

yeah, something like that.

This time, Captain Akoren's swordsmanship skills didn't quite shine, as he failed to deliver any extra attacks.

– This turned out to be more difficult than I thought... there are so many of these renegades... My Lady! Help me!

Harold drank ale and ate a selection of snacks. Unfortunately, it didn't restore his strength, but it was still very tasty.

—Tell me, noble warlord, what news is there in your lands? —the northerner set down his empty mug on the table, wiping his beard with his sleeve. —What are the workers talking about, and why has the guard surrounded the gates? Have I arrived during wartime?

The Cela-Mira Academy is the only educational institution for mages in the kingdom. It is located in the capital and has the right to recruit any gifted individual, even an heir to a noble family, unless it is a girl who has been chosen to become a priestess. Mages live here, study, make plans, and start families. The Academy is their true home. Not all graduates, when the time comes, decide to leave its walls. The Cela-Mira Academy is led by the ambitious and powerful Oran Visnord. He comes from the Dorian Academy, and therefore perfectly understands the essence of mage training.

The Academy provides the following services, but only to those with magical gifts:

Increasing a skill level in one school of magic:

Level:	Required level:	Price (in cetres):
II	5	3000
III	10	4500
IV	15	6000
V	20	7500
VI	25	12500

Receiving a random positive passive ability related to magic:

Price (in cetres): 2000 * the number of positive passive abilities the character has

-

The most magnificent bathhouse for resting the body, mind, and spirit was once the private bathing place of Oran Visnord, now a public treasure and a symbol of the generosity of the Academy of Sela-Mira. However, only clean and unblemished intelligent creatures were allowed into this wonderful place.

Possible outcomes of the rest (with a 75% chance of losing all remaining action points):

50%: nothing happens.
25%: the character gains +1 to Endurance, Willpower, or Spirit.
15%: nothing happens, but the character does not lose any remaining action points.
10%: nothing happens, but the character restores all action points.

-

A bunch of weak units. The Captain attacks. The Guard attacks under the Captain. The rest just move around, and Albrecht heals the Captain.

The result of the d20 roll: 6 A terrifying figure emerges from the swamp mist, but it seems intent on offering its wares rather than killing Yuventius and Hacker. But that's not certain...

Common Death x2 (500 cetrens each)	The merchant kills a character.
Quality Death x2 (1000 cetrens each)	The merchant kills a character in a stylish manner.
Exquisite Death x2 (2500 cetrens each)	The merchant kills a character in an incredibly stylish manner.

Meanwhile, with Kearak: Kearak forces himself to get out of his cozy bed, which allows him to go and clear his head in the most brilliant bath for body, mind, and spirit. As a result, he even manages to save a couple of action points, but no more than that, unfortunately. Then, the fox decides to visit the Stronghold of the capital guard. Meanwhile, with the girl with big... ambitions: At the Academy of Sela-Mira, Radianta meets an old acquaintance: the student Rodion the Broken, a well-known master of the battle-axe school. Unfortunately, he wasn't as good with magic as he was with axes, so he was still studying. "Do I have the right to graduate from the Academy, or not..." Rodion pondered during his meeting with Radianta. Meanwhile, with the northerner: "Fuck you, leatherman!" Billy smirked. From the warlord Harold's words, he learned that the capital is always reliably guarded, but recently, it has been guarded even more strictly, because unknown creatures have begun to infiltrate the city. Rumor has it that the goddess Cera is furious, and that is very, very dangerous. There is no doubt that a powerful enemy is behind this.
