Posts from 🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

Every kind of Ment has time to read about the Reimy Empire, but no time for obelisks... Come on, gray demons, jump on board the hype train, and at least play the expansion for the New Year, like real men (or real women, in Koshi's case).

🐱🐲: You know what, you're right. Guys, what do you think, should I jump into the expansion? Beata?
🎪🏹: Author, you know I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. Ask someone smarter. Guiyosh, for example.
🐱🐲: Should I jump into the expansion? Guiyosh, your turn.
⛓️♿: I have one word for that. Stop!
🐱🐲: Got it. Hand me some more popcorn.

Come on, gray demons!

But there aren't enough demons here.
We've seen all sorts of priestesses, undead knights, and even "agents" of the church. And now you want demons too...

The Religions of Asuguh
The veneration of Anuzish, the planet on which we all live, officially split into two a quarter of a century ago; since then, the Church of Arselia and the Church of Anuzish have ceased to be synonyms. The roots of their beliefs are identical, but the prism of perception and the approach to their application are different. These two denominations represent the majority of the country's population.

The Church of Anuzish

Holy See: Margel
Year of foundation (reformation): 975 from the founding of Margel.
Does not attach importance to the theoretical existence of Anuzish's earthly incarnation.
Head: Patriarch Eugene
Main activities: conducting religious ceremonies, studying Anuzish, helping those in need, healing the sick, educating the illiterate, preventing disasters.

The Church of Arselia

Holy See: Renfa
Date of foundation: 4292 before the founding of Margel.
Recognizes Arselia as the earthly incarnation of Anuzish.
Head: Patriarch Bruno
Main activities: conducting religious ceremonies, charity, building hospitals and schools, destroying the supernatural, observing and controlling the remaining cosmic anomalies, fighting heresy, influencing the culture, politics, and economy of the world's countries.

Nammu Ai, Nanaya, Shiris

The Calcite goddesses of prosperity, love, and good fortune; to some extent, they are also venerated in other countries of the south.
Main temple: none.
Beginning of the cult's emergence: the first invasion of the Sky Lords.
Head: none.
Main activities: providing religious services.

Zkhusyiksidzhire

A Sky Lord who fell from the cosmos into the ocean in ancient times, when people did not yet have their own civilization; her followers managed to carry their faith through the centuries and millennia thanks to a rare combination of secrecy and fanaticism – they tried not to attract attention to themselves, but at the same time, they were absolutely convinced of the correctness of their worldview. By fate, they found refuge in Ninamiat.
Main temple: Ninamiat.
Beginning of the cult's emergence: very long ago.
Head: none.
Main activities: veneration of Zkhusyiksidzhire, feeding the fish.

—A positive outlook on life! —the “journalist” didn’t argue. —Then, I can only wish you even more inspiration. And I dare to hope that at our next meeting, I will be able to learn something else from your rich biography.

—Ha-ha-ha, thank you. Good luck to you too, and most importantly, remember that life is great. As long as your mind is alive, even the darkest night will eventually end and be replaced by a bright dawn.

Early in the morning, Ushumgallu walks to the university. This day is unlikely to be as eventful as yesterday, but there is work to be done.

At the university lecture, Ushumgallu was in for a surprise - due to lessons with Sir Kira, he already knew almost everything he needed, so today he was taught the art of wielding Talvar and received a passing grade for the first part of the military course.

Camistella nodded.

—Strangely enough, it was my companion who was shouting, not me... he is pleased with the originality of his manners. Thank you.

The Lunarian sets out in search of Kimchilla.

The Lunarian finds the object of her search in the same place as yesterday, but in a slightly different outfit and in a more cheerful mood.

—Ah, Lady Camistella... Good morning. Thank you for yesterday...

—Oh! 🤗

As a sign of gratitude, Insho kissed Goods on the cheek and, after saying goodbye, headed to the Lodoss farm to see what products they were selling.

“I hope my dearest wife doesn’t kill me...” General Goods thought to himself. At the farm, everyone was already asleep, so Insho couldn’t see the products.

Main activities: performing religious ceremonies, researching Anuzish, helping those in need, healing the sick, educating the illiterate, preventing disasters

robbing curious passersby.

"Good... the Goddesses are smiling upon me. Time is money, money is time, and both are the temple of Nanaya..."
Of course, instead of a temple, he went to the library. Three years ago, he wouldn't have believed it was possible, but not everyone has books written about their father.

- Ha-ha-ha, thank you. Good luck to you too, and most importantly, remember that life is wonderful. As long as your mind is alive, even the darkest night will eventually end and be replaced by a bright dawn.

After saying goodbye to the artist, the southerner continues his journey along the mountain range.
"A curious farewell, it sounded more like a warning. A mysterious personality, to be sure. But the main thing is that the person is kind and optimistic. I wonder, would I be suited to being a lich? I could spend an eternity collecting knowledge without fear of hurting my knee or losing my mind."

Shaking off these dangerous thoughts, Asmidul accurately determines the time using a sundial and realizes that he still has time for one more visit to the last inhabited place on the city map.

Everyone on the farm was already asleep, so I couldn't check out Insho's produce.

😑

Insho returns home and goes to sleep 😴

Hmm, that outfit suits her well...

“I’m glad to see you in good health, Lady Kimchilla,” Camistella smiled. “I see you’ve decided to follow my example and try something new in life. I’ve taken up magic, and you… adventures? Mercenary work? Forgive me if my guesses are naive.”

And yet, they achieved success... unless Kimchilla suddenly announces that she’s going to kill the king and seize power by force.

Does the dagger have stats, or is it purely decorative?
Can you attack diagonally, i.e., does it require moving 4 or 5 spaces to attack?

It deals 20 damage and has a penalty to hit/dodge; you can't move/attack diagonally (if the attack range were 2, you could). So, 5.

Does the dagger have stats, or is it just for show?
Can you attack diagonally, i.e., does it take 4 or 5 steps to attack?

While cutting the ropes, the dagger broke, became dull, and turned into a piece of scrap metal...
It's easier to throw it away and just use your fists. At least there won't be a penalty...

What does the "wearing combat gear" skill affect? Does it affect any items besides weapons and shields?

???

Do accuracy and evasion also affect spells?

- A true warrior has no need for weapons, - muttering Hassan's words, Genza throws his pocketknife behind his back and stomps towards square 2.
