Without having 4 action points, Harold sadly returns home to sleep.

- Greetings, citizen, - he sizes up his interlocutor with a look. - And who might you be, and what is your purpose in asking?

Harold goes to bed and, plot twist, falls asleep. Meanwhile, in the park: – What a treacherous ill-wisher, instead of relaxing at the festival, I'm catching guards in the park and asking them uncomfortable questions, – the stranger smirked, – I heard that this long-eared liar has already poisoned even the capital guard with his Will. The audacity of the Caitian is truly boundless.

Trying not to attract unnecessary attention, Radianta attempts to reach the bookstore, avoiding holiday events as much as possible.

And she successfully reaches her destination.

- Hello! - Radianta smiled radiantly at the shopkeeper. But if, for some reason, he wasn't here, then what could be done? This perfect smile was directed at the emptiness that had settled on the shelves and the spider that had taken up residence in the dark corner. - I'd like a notebook and a book about the intricacies of reproduction, please.

- Even the Guard? - Dervos raised his eyebrows. - Indeed, this is a brazen act. But you did the right thing by coming to me, Citizen Malcontent. As you are undoubtedly aware - and it should be self-evident - seeking out the individual who wronged you and subjecting them to some form of punishment is a direct path to legal trouble. Even if, against the backdrop of more pressing immediate difficulties, this may seem like something distant, barely noticeable on the horizon, believe me, if - or when - the bell tolls for you, you will regret having succumbed to that destructive impulse, however justified it may have seemed to you at the time. You look tired; we should definitely go to the department, where you can relax in a quiet setting, have a cup of hot coffee, tell your story, and write a statement. Don't worry; it won't be filed away on some dusty shelf - our department doesn't tolerate such negligence. If there are violations related to this case, they will certainly be investigated, and if the suspect is found guilty, they will be held fully accountable. The arm of the law is long, and its gears grind relentlessly. You are far more likely to achieve success in your search this way than by randomly searching alone.

The trade is complete.

Radianta successfully spends all her cetrens on two beautiful, handcrafted books. One is about reproduction, and the other is blank, for her own notes. The seller was there, but he was too dedicated to his job.

Meanwhile, at Derevos’s place:

The stranger thought for a moment and replied with a stern “hmm.” After that, he added a few explanatory words:

“The city guard always does its job well, otherwise I wouldn’t be contacting them right now. Let’s go! It’s time to clarify the story of this fox in all its sordid details!”

Have you ever had a GM write posts at night in a bumpy bus, on a phone, on the way to the border?

- Thank you, I will try to appreciate and cherish these books. Goodbye!
Radianta, with her empty purse and newly acquired books, returns home.

- Thank you for your kind words; it's gratifying to see that our efforts are appreciated by the community, - Derevos nods and points in that direction. - Well, let's go. The department is located in another area, but I know a shortcut.
And they walk towards the District of Selar's Mercy (1 Action Point) => 1) Capital Guard Citadel (1 Action Point)

have you ever been on a rattling train on the way to the border between stations?

Treebeard has no action points left, so he leads the stranger to his headquarters, i.e., his office. Interestingly, they don't encounter a single law enforcement officer along the way, as they had all been sent to posts closer to the festival.

– You have a very nice place here, – the stranger assessed the surroundings, – the interior seems modest, but everything necessary is in place.

Unexpectedly, the stranger collapsed on Treebeard's bed and immediately fell into a deathlike sleep. Apparently, he also ran out of action points.

Meanwhile, with Radianta:

The refined literature enthusiast safely returns home with her loot.

There aren't enough action points to read a book about reproduction.

I wrote lengthy, whiny posts about Giyoon, standing on the street outside the hotel where they didn't want to let me check in, typing with frozen fingers, sleep-deprived, and exhausted.

I used to calculate battles on my phone when I had no electricity. 😎

I had a similar unpleasant experience with a hotel one cold night, although there were no experience points involved, but it was still very unpleasant.

Harold wakes up and immediately joins a group of mercenaries sent to the Sorntar festival.

– They say it's a safe job, just to participate. But it's still an assignment from the Great Cathedral. Proceed with all caution!

Meanwhile, with Albrecht:

Something similar happens to our young, not-quite-human character: Warren sends him to the festival. In addition, the watermelon incident occurs.

Albrecht feels a loss of strength!

Apparently, everyone will be forced to do unpleasant things at the festival -____-

.      In addition, the watermelon effect is taking place.

Albrecht feels a decline in strength!

 

Albrecht Van Hösling receives -11 to Endurance and loses half of his action points. 

   

Does this mean he returns to his normal state, or is this minus calculated from his normal state?
