Damn, I should have taken Erish with me and teleported to Tais!

Ah, it seems to me that it was a very elegant plan, only slightly worse than Lokensky's. Well, since it wasn't appreciated, it's going to the scrapheap...

Yeah... And much simpler than just kidnapping a flower girl...

she's just a matchmaker, that's all.

I'm not insisting, if Margel works out, that's fine, I just feel like Asuguhu might be in trouble by that point. Psina and Grazhnach gave us a hint, and we'll still have to go to that obelisk at some point... it's hard to predict whether it will be easier or harder to do later. It's clear that they'll pull something with Anus, Calcite doesn't end well. But Patka is stronger, too. Ideally, I'd like to hear more.

if you're planning a trip, find out what the currency is there (if you don't already know) and whether you need to spend money now, or if it will be useful later. Although, in this city, it's hard to spend money anyway.

🤑🤑🤑

They'll charge you a fortune there. You can reach your destination by following the road instead of going through the sand, but it's hard to say if it will be easier. As always, nothing is certain.

can I use the Entrepreneurship skill to get an item from this character? Maybe a ring or something for teleportation, in case he has one...

I don't know. You two might pass as "one of us" (one based on paperwork, the other based on appearance), but what about us...? They definitely remember Erika, she's the "vice-champion" after all...

I think it's better to go on foot and then take a ship, and then wherever Anuzish takes us...

I don't mind Calcite, but I have no idea what will happen when the spies, who were deployed with great difficulty, are discovered a week later in the same city.
Or am I misreading your thread?

pull the cap over your face, put your jacket in your pocket, wear a cloak with a hood, maybe they won't recognize you further... in general, I think the pirate spared us just for laughs, but yes, that's the main problem.

I won't insist, calcite was getting boring anyway, if there's no certainty, I'm for a consensus. but, these are just my assumptions.

Or am I reading your thread incorrectly?

You are right. And they won't find out after a week, but immediately...

frankly, I think the pirate spared us just for laughs.

It's not just a feeling, it's true... But that doesn't mean they'll be happy to see us there...

Has anything good ever happened in Calcite?

- when Alex's character chopped off the heads of a hundred slaves; - when Alex's character hacked up half the city; - when Alex's character smashed a bartender's head with a chair. That's all.

And then he died, yeah...
Not a very good town.

Revan, can you identify native Asuguhs just by their appearance in Calcite?

- This is the capital of the country in the far east of the northern continent, a land of freedom and democracy.

—I've never heard of such a paradise... It will be something to study in my spare time. In that case, if you don't mind, we'll take five minutes to discuss it. With such "nuances," the question isn't as obvious as it seems; at the very least, we need to check our pockets, you know. He thanks the libertarian and then gathers the companions to convert gray text into black:



—Ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for your mental input. In our situation, I see three options:

A) We don't trust magic rings because of our gut feeling, and we wait for a ride to Sizok and the port. —He nods at Erika. —The only downside in this case is that if we really missed the last ship, we'll end up in a country surrounded on all sides. Then we'll really have to go through the southern abyss, with all the consequences, because the gods haven't smiled upon us with our neighbors. I wouldn't want to rot for eternity in the lair of a sand worm.

B) We trust the intuition of our youngest, but no less respected, companion. —He thanks Ferru for the check. —And we consider the option with the ring; who has been where and what have they acquired. In this case, the only foreign option left is Shina, right? —He looks at everyone with a questioning glance. —The advantage of such a "trip" is the opportunity to get revenge on the rat-cannibals. There are two disadvantages here. First, your murky history with the Calcite adventure. We'll need a disguise for a while. Wrap ourselves in scarves, stay in invisibility. By the way, maybe Camistella can conjure some extra hair, mustaches, or beards for you? —He addresses the noble sorceress with a separate question. —Why not, I don't see any mechanical limitations here. And the purebloods should pray that they won't be recognized by the shape of their eyes. Second, we'll have to take care of equipment against storms, bandits, sand, and so on. I don't know what the local conditions are like; let the travelers enlighten us. We'll be working for... we'll decide later. I hope there aren't passport checkpoints every kilometer. The main thing is to get out of Shina quickly. And we'll have to throw away the cap after all...

C) I'll go right now to look for a random companion from a more prosperous, primitive country. Someone who visits their grandmother there every summer, and no interpretation can twist the condition of the ring. He will probably also have to be initiated into our plans, which is not ideal. The chance of success is extremely small, and I don't really want to do it, but where there is great risk, there is great reward. I once read a biography where such a step actually saved a mission from failure. With a little luck from Shiris, we'll teleport to a safe, quiet zone and sip smoothies on the northern beach while Sir Tann comes with the collectors to collect the debt. The downside, in addition to the ring not working and throwing us into a random point in the ocean, is that we will most likely lose our homeland. —He sadly agrees with Genza's telepathic remark.

—That's it. If anyone has any comments or additions during this short break, I'm ready to listen.

-- I understand what you're thinking, but we're not flying to Calcite. No. We won't be able to travel across the entire country under martial law – we'll be thrown in jail immediately as agents of Asuguh, and even if we do take down a few squads of soldiers, we'll attract the attention of the entire country. No one can travel that distance through the desert without supplies and equipment. Not to mention that we might end up not on the outskirts of Shina, but right in the heart of the sand dunes, fighting surrounded by Ginzo's lackeys... although, no, that might be interesting, but still – no Shina. If we can't get to another continent, then we'll try to break through to a ship. Maybe even in Ninamia, far from the Calcite fleet. If anything happens, Eric's ship will sink the enemy vessel.

-- We can also slightly modify Option A by teleporting to the port. We'll save at least a day.
