After Ayi and Zaviruska, I don’t want to rate any more NPCs that I like.

So, you choose from the ones you like 😈

Days:


01.03.1000.
Bade farewell to 1 and finally finished moving to ↓IVA24. Now that's where adult life begins!
↓IVA shines like never before, but early rising does not bode well for a good mood. Visited ↓IVA16, where I met 2 and learned about 👑49👑. Left with mixed impressions.
Took a stroll to ↓IVA5; due to lack of prospects, I had to sign up for economics. There I also met 😭3😭 and 🤠4🤠. Got a bit charged up with energy from the upcoming prospects.
Curiosity led me to ↓IVA7, where we had a slight quarrel with 📰5📰 over immigration. Stocked up on news about events in ←II and the invasion of ←III, as well as some interview.
Returning my mind to work mode, I headed to ↓IVA3 to get the needed information from 6. But my plans were not meant to be due to 7; I hastily retreated home.
An eventful day full of new acquaintances, but I managed to accomplish most of my plans. 8/10.

02.03.1000.
Attended a lecture bright and early, and from there on to ↓IVB. On the way, finished the interview with 132. Quite an extraordinary person, to be sure. Didn't budget my time well, so upon arrival I had to immediately go to ↓IVB1. The esteemed 😎8😎 responded with hospitality and helped with lodging.
A troubling day — after all, I had never traveled before. But I learned a lot of useful and interesting things. 7/10.

03.03.1000.
Lucky me — they agreed to consider my application at ↓IVB3! There I also had an interview with 🐍17🐍, a most extraordinary woman in every respect. Now it's down to the "small" matter — completing the entrance assignment. 
Overjoyed, I decided to get straight to the task and take a walk around the city. First I stopped by ↓IVB7, where I befriended 😢18 and 159😢. We chatted, had lunch, and I left with valuable guidance and a new hobby.
Then I visited ↓IVB8 — gained a wise mentor and teacher in the person of ⛏19⛏ . Went to a training session for the first time in my life — nearly fell apart from the unfamiliar strain.
Toward evening, I strolled to ↓IVB4, where 💔23💔, a student of 24, dragged me to a lecture. Fool that I was, it all seemed so romantic back then... We talked about many things, seemed to be on the same wavelength. We observed α-ζ, and I learned about Ё-М. Buoyed by all sorts of hopes, I barely made it back to my lodging.
There I picked up a new assignment from 🐍17🐍 — that makes two responsible missions already. Look at the trust I've earned, wow!
One of the best days of my life. 10/10.

04.03.1000.
Barely straightening my back, I had breakfast and decided to stay another day to finish the tour. At ↓IVB5 I talked with 🎨20🎨, learned a mountain of information about ↑XVI and its inhabitants 94-112, as well as about 💀25💀. Soon enough, he would become the main villain of this part of my life's biography.
Finally, I dropped by ↓IVB6, where 😖21😖 nearly strangled me. A mistake on my part — he's very suspicious. Apparently, he has something from his past to fear. Well, then we got to talking, he shared a couple of tips, briefly mentioned his 22 . And with that, we parted ways.
Late in the evening, I returned home from ↓IVB2.
A day of practical skills and life conversations — a bit unusual, but for a person of my profession, it might even prove useful. 8/10.

05.03.1000.
The day went wrong from the night — first, that very 💀25💀 met me on the doorstep of my own home. Didn't expect me to recognize him — at least something gave a grim chuckle at the end. He strangled me with his iron grip, only boiled bones crunching.
I only woke up toward morning — thought it was a vision. Well, I immediately figured it was a sorcerer's prank, but in reality, it turned out even deeper.
Just as I was coming to my senses — a knock at the door. On the threshold, 💂26💂. I thought he was after me (in a good way), but he was asking about a completely different topic. Told me about some 27 , I didn't really understand anything except that harmless bespectacled poisoners like me have multiplied considerably in ↓IV.
Again, no rest — this time I made the acquaintance of 🏃‍♀️28🏃‍♀️. Seems like a good guy. With him, we ran through the city past ↓IVA13 and ↓IVA14. Discussed 154-156 from a moral standpoint. Along the way, we visited ↓IVA7, seemingly made up with 📰5📰, and acquired new literature on 59, ↓IVF7, ↓IA1, ↓VIB1. There I also spotted an interesting bonus for the planned assignment.
Finally, we had lunch at ↓IVA21 — a great little place, though an unemployed person can't afford to stay there long.
The day started just terribly, but by the end my mood gradually returned to its usual state. 6/10.

06.03.1000.
Managed to get a day off after another lecture — to take a walk around my hometown once. First, I asked 🤠4🤠 for an internship in the expedition, but to jump ahead — that never came to pass. Then I stocked up on useful things at ↓IVA9 and ↓IVA10, met 29-32 . There I also learned about the biographies of 124-126 . Great heroes lived back then! Also partially ransacked ↓IVA15 — and ran into 35 on the way out. "Buy a photo with ♣️34♣️!" he says. So I bought it. A good photo. I still keep it.
Toward evening, I planned a home renovation — 💪33💪 from ↓IVA11 helped greatly with that and not a kopek extra. Now that's what I call a world not without good people.
By evening, I planned a route for a new journey — first, to deliver a letter to ↓IVA26. As it happens, our 👑49👑 is almost never at his ↓IVA12. That's what 😺37😺 told me in secret.
The last day before my journey. Again, uneasy at heart, but this time I have confidence in carrying out my plans. 7/10.

07.03.1000 - 02.01.1001.
I traveled all across my country, and was under such stress that I found no time for the diary.
I could tell you a lot, but of what's permitted, I can only mention 38-48 — everything else was not allowed to be archived by the universe. A pity!
When I returned, I plunged headfirst into studies — no time to record granite-scientific daily grind among important events.

03.01.1001.
It all started with a speech by 👸⚔51⚔👸. Here you have both about ↓V and everything else with all the consequences. And our 8-16 stand right there, heeding the words. Then 👑49👑 took the floor; again I didn't grasp the full essence, but I was filled with patriotism.
I was about to head home when 😺37😺 caught me, saying that 👑49👑 is keeping his promise and awaits a guest at ↓IVA12. This way and that, word by word — and we're already playing cards while 👸⚔51⚔👸 pours coffee — and since when do I make acquaintances this fast? We shared much that was philosophical and political, but it didn't lift the veil of mystery over ❓50❓ .
Afterwards, 52 showed up, and I had to take a walk with them too. There were 8-16 and 53-58, in short, a big company gathered, and I find such gatherings tiring and uncomfortable. I listened to wise people and absorbed the wisdom of lived years. Returned with gifts.
After lunch, I ran by 📰5📰, chatted about psychology. Then on the way to ↓IVA25, I ran into 🏃‍♀️28🏃‍♀️, and together we ran off to a concert by 59 . I was deeply moved by the wonderful notes.
In the evening, my companion suggested stopping by ↓IVA6 — and that's how I met 👿60👿 .
We solved tests, solved riddles — all with one goal: to find 💀25💀 and bring him to justice. Turns out he's not a vision, nor a joke of a sorcerer. The threat from him is real, and our entire realm cannot stop him. And if you tell anyone — either they won't believe you, or an ominous fate will strike immediately. In short, the girl charged me with the righteous goal of going on a search with a detector. With that, I took my leave and went home.
An unexpected day with a hint of negativity, but overall charged with hope and good people. That's what I thought then. 8/10.

04.01.1001.
Woke up to the light of the detector and a knock at the door. Again, like a year ago — 💂26💂 came running with questions, but this time I'm almost a suspect. Someone brutally dealt with 😭3😭 at night. I can't even describe all my thoughts — first I thought of 🏃‍♀️28🏃‍♀️, and the investigators already have 👿60👿 in custody pending clarification of circumstances.
Something's off here, I figure — and indeed: as soon as I approached ↓IVA5, another vision like last spring. Now I, in the persona of the maniac 💀25💀, commit a terrible deed, unable to control my will. Can such a thing happen? The rest of the day was like a fog: running back and forth, bustling about, all to no avail. I need to get 👿60👿 released, I need to set out on the search, but what can I do alone?
My feet led me to ↓IVA22 by themselves. Had a heart-to-heart talk with 📔62📔, came to my senses a bit. Left with a cart of things and renewed motivation. It's good to know such people.
Right at my own doorstep, 🏡67🏡 was lying in wait. She knows, by her own words, about my cursedness and demanded explanations. Plain luck saved me — she too turned out to be a victim of 💀25💀.  Thus, I gained an unexpected ally.
I also briefly skimmed a love letter from 64, but I had no time for stupid pranks then.
There has never been a worse day in my life. To this day, I can't understand how I didn't give up in that situation. 1/10.

05.01.1001.
Rode the usual route to ↓IVB, found lodging there. The bad news doesn't end there — this time 💔23💔 has been added to the missing list. I run to ↓IVB4, but no such luck — 65 comes flying around the corner. Nearly devoured me alive. If not for the smoke bomb, my diary would have ended right there.
Thanks to the men from 61 — they didn't let me down; after that meat grinder, an entire location ended up cordoned off. Nothing to do, I went around by the usual route. Exchanged gifts (for example, an idol 158), and also learned a lot of useful things about 💀25💀. His ability, supposedly, is to bind his soul into the slain, thereby prolonging their lives. Sometimes you can't even perish without his knowledge, but the moment he snaps his fingers — the victim vanishes forever. That's roughly how 123 , according to rumors, could get rid of annoying summoned aliens. Well, years pass, but the dependence on one's "master's" mood never goes away.
I dispelled the mystery about 💔23💔 — according to 66 and others, she too turned out to be one of 💀25💀's victims. No doubt she's wandering the area now, the poor thing...
Finally, I said goodbye to 😢18 and 159😢. Had I known it was forever... He was already burning with the desire to support me then, and I kept egging him on. Now I recall — that was right when a meteorite slammed into the shield of 141 — a sign from our patroness to shut my mouth. A fool through and through, I'll never forgive myself.
The good part of this day — I saw dear acquaintances and learned useful information. I didn't know then how it would turn out, so 5/10.

06.01.1001.
On the way to ↓IVC, the detector went off — thought it was ↓IVB11, then it turned out to be ↓IVF6. Nothing for me to do in the city itself — except I dropped by ↓IVC7.
There I was met by a very hospitable 🔪74🔪 , who asked for an interview. He must be sad, with such a biography, to guard a shop. He gave me some gear — I'll need to remember to repay the debt.
In ↓IVD, bad luck — I wandered into ↓IVD4 once more to replenish supplies. There, 46 mistook me for some official-robber, and I had to hastily retreat. I think it's all ↓VI's bad influence.
↓IVD8 turned out to be closed, but at ↓IVD3 I haggled a valuable item from 75 . I don't really need it, but the sevenfold markup infuriated me. Such audacity goes against everything I've studied! In the end, I took it at three times the price. Let it be — but I saved some poor soul from being swindled in broad daylight. ↓VI, ugh, cannibals with their folk, what can you expect.
Another day of anxious, hopeless searching. 4/10.

07.01.1001.
Time flows ever more chaotically — no doubt the universe has grown tired of counting it, so I'll estimate "approximately" by average travel hours.
Passing through ↓IVE, I decided to stop by ↓IVE11 — on approach, I had a seizure from the excess of 💀25💀's blood. Scared me with visions again — but I get it, I'm not stupid. Well, at least I exchanged information with 🏡67🏡. Briefly admired her little house — some people sure know how to live!
Next, I head to ↓IVF — just to note the locations in the diary and move on. Not a place of interest to me.
Along the way, two more "glows" — one right at ↓IVF6, the second I thought was ↓IVF8, but it turned out to be just a random spot.
In ↓IVG I only went into ↓IVG6 — was pleased with the goods and the ideology of 76. If only there were more businessmen like that!
Finally managed to catch a full signal — a roadside pentagram laid out not far from ↓IVH. Even then, I should have suspected a joke of global scale, but everyone's a sage in hindsight.
Thanks to 77 — gave me a ride to the next point.
Another day of anxious, hopeless searching. 4/10.

08.01.1001.
At ↓IVH3, talked with 78 — I liked the idea, but the execution, decidedly not.
Got rid of junk at 79's place in ↓IVH7, and straight back on the road.
This time, the detector leads straight into ↓IVI — namely to ↓IVI10. Back then, I didn't know that the dwelling of the second world-class villain was hidden there. I lingered around the doors and windows, weighed my chances, and felt something wrong in my soul. Let me, I thought, first run into ↓IVI5 — try my luck.
The esteemed 80 surprisingly understood my situation — they must really be swamped with work over there. I led him to the spot, this way and that, help a good man out. As soon as he touched the lock — he vanished in broad daylight. I thought then I'd fallen into a protective trap — but now I'm sure he was brutally torn apart by psychopathic minions, for laughs. That makes the third one departing because of me.
Before leaving, I stopped by ↓IVI8 — stocked up on combat gear from 81 . Will come in handy for the future endeavor.
And here's home, sweet home — the door is welcomingly broken down, and inside, in the bedroom, 🏡67🏡 and 👿60👿 are amusing themselves with my bed. Fine, a joke repeated twice won't be as funny. They were just investigating something about 💀25💀's curse. Now I think — isn't that fateful? Both antagonists have been in my apartment, I even feel a certain pride.
The last day of anxious, hopeless searching; hope for a favorable outcome briefly returns. 5/10.

09.01.1001-XX.XX.1001.
And here's another time gap... 82 , who came to replace 2, must have gotten thoroughly tired of my gloomy face by now...
Together, our modest trio engaged in research and the search for other victims of 💀25💀 through the "invented" 👿60👿 detector #2. If you think about it — how lonely must your life be to not just observe other adventurers, but to write quests for them yourself, and then, under disguise, put on a performance of camaraderie and partnership? Some kind of madness.
This very fake-👿60👿 "helped" us connect the lines from the trigger points of detector #1 into a pentagram on a country-wide scale. Then hinted to look for the key in the center — by an "amazing" coincidence, right at ↓IVB10. If I were writing a detective novel, I'd probably keep the suspense until the denouement — but I see no point in that for a potential reader.
Now all that remained was to convince the "accidentally" found other victims of 👿60👿 to help us take revenge on 💀25💀. In reality — to find new puppets for the villainous pair to carry out their plan.
At ↓IVA8, we run into 🧙‍♀️72🧙‍♀️ — that very friend of 🏡67🏡, as well as 👤83👤 and 🤜84🤛. The explanatory negotiations are quite tense, but in the end, 🏡67🏡 and I manage to persuade the guys to come with us. 👿60👿 herself is now silent, only occasionally throwing a wrench in the works with her remarks. Sometimes helps, sometimes hinders — a performance at her fingertips, in short. Along the way, we also met 💤85💤 and brought them along too.

An hour or two later, we're there. Thunder roars, lightning flashes, 💀25💀 towers like a mountain — mother 139, how they went all out with the special effects! Alright, credit where it's due — they put on quite a show. There's skin peeling off faces with 👿60👿 transforming into 🌚47🌚, and mad laughter, and mock limb-chopping. But the worst thing here isn't the maniacs themselves — my dear 💔23💔 turns up among their ranks.
It turns out they also bewitched her to chop up 😢18 and 159😢. On that basis, she apparently couldn't bear the emotional torment and developed an attachment to 💀25💀. Now she follows him around like a little dog, with 🌚47🌚 serving as interpreter. How bitter it all is.
What's the result? We're obliged to set out in search of 🗼~4-~12🗼 across the whole world so that 💀25💀 can resurrect his ↑XVI. The newfound comrades have all, to a one, sided with the villains, even if some are at least warmed by a sense of revenge. My best friend is brutally killed because of me. My romantic interest has drifted to one of the maniacs. My seemingly closest companion in this situation is actually a twisted psychopath. 10/10 for plot twists. 0/10 for the day.

28.02.1001.
Did I mention our country now also has a problem with ↓VI? Well, upon our return, we enjoyed the fruits of that story to the fullest. Thanks to 😎8😎 and the guys — they know their business. 
We visited with a squad of my colleagues from ↓IVB3, where we ran into 💍86💍. At first, he seemed like a very suspicious sorcerer, but in fact, paranoia played a joke on us here. I'll have to visit that ↑XX of his with ↑XXI sometime. Got me interested, no joke. 
With the help of the magic ring, we could have traveled to any visited zone, even to ↑XIVA, but there were no travelers among us. Maybe it's for the best — at least we'll serve the homeland one last time.
In the end, we "jumped" to ↓IVA — scared the ♣️saleswoman♣️ at ↓IVA15 half to death. Turns out they don't get bored there either — 116 with an airborne landing managed to wreak plenty of havoc before 👸⚔51⚔👸 put him to rest forever.
Checked on ↓IVA23, talked with 87 — now our plans have hit a full 122 . Something about a "gray" zone, didn't quite understand. Then exchanged news with the others — nothing to be done, we'll have to split up. Their armorless buddy 88 showed up too — and with that, we parted. I hope we meet again, otherwise 💀25💀 will be displeased.
Spent the rest of the day tidying up at ↓IVA16, and by mail, another mockery from 🌚47🌚 arrived. Has she taken a liking to tormenting me, or what?..
Too many events in recent days. Almost no mental strength left. 3/10.

01.03.1001.
The city is slowly recovering — but I have other concerns now. Everything has turned black and white, thoughts only of the cursed mission. Until noon, I studied the geography of ↓, ↑, and ← — but to no avail.
Then I dashed off to go fishing — to honor 😢18😢 in good conscience. Stayed until evening. There, I unexpectedly met 🤺90🤺 — supposedly, a trusted representative of 119 from ←III, arriving for a meeting with 👑49👑.
I decided to escort him to ↓IVA26 — he might get lost, after all. That's how I accidentally ended up at another alumni gathering. At the entrance, a guest 🤖91🤖 from 132 was waiting; inside, 91 caught my eye immediately.
We chatted amiably — much to my joy. Again, I asked for a gift. This time, I felt more comfortable in that setting. They told epics — about the formation of 135 from the heart of 147, about the plans of 118 and the mysterious 136. About the vile wind-man 137 and what the participants of one side of that party should do now. Didn't digest everything, but at least in that atmosphere, I finally distracted myself from my gloomy thoughts. It's great to be in such company.
In the end, 🤺90🤺 became my temporary companion by chance — and that's good, I'll learn more about ←III and ←IV.
On the way, I turned to ↓IVA20 — and there 93 nearly ruined me. How do people survive these days with such prices? And where am I to get money now?..
Well, it's time for bed, at least my mood is a bit better. Now I just wonder — how are the others doing? 6/10.

By the way, can the General move one step to the right and then heal? Then Atim could stay in place and shoot down unit 6.

I need to think about it.
Maybe it's not worth bringing up this topic right now xD
For now, the question is: should we heal Atima or Gonor?

I'm definitely in favor of healing Atima. First, as long as we haven't lost him, we haven't lost anyone. Second, Gonor has a portrait and the Frenzy skill. Although he still needs to be pulled back to the rear.

For Atim, you can place a barrier on the right for this turn, so he won't be reachable. Revan hasn't commented on my question about the General, but I don't see any reason to prevent moving to the right and healing. After all, it's not magic, is it? In any case, the samurai pair moved quite successfully and used their abilities. And Scar and Honor did too.
Barrier on the right, and it's still far on the left. So, you can heal Honor...

What kind of barrier is this?

What kind of barrier is that?

A barrier consisting of General, Sheila, Illiman, and someone who will take the 6th spot (if Atim shoots him) or to the left of him (if Atim misses). There will be no way through.
That is, if the General can move one step to the right and heal at the same time.

By the way, can the General move one step to the right and then heal?

@aaanywho, can he?

@Алекс, yes, Yashchur is right, he's making a good point, there are ways to block Atim.
I'm just thinking about this: yes, Honor has resistances, but if we take the situation where he's taking damage from Atim, then we can revive him later, but firstly, the fight will become much more difficult, because you can't heal during the fight, and Honor deals a lot of damage, and secondly, considering that one of them ran for reinforcements, we might not even have that window after the battle to revive him.

For example, if in specific turns:

the General heals Honor
Atim tries to finish off 6
I attack from the right, dealing 8 damage
if Atim kills 6, then we can put unit 5 in front of 13 and take out one of them, and Jack can use hypnosis on 12. If Atim doesn't kill, then move unit 5 down one space and finish off 6, the gap will be closed for now

7 is taunting for now, and that's how we save our "homeless" unit this turn

Let’s do it this way.

general step to the right and heal honor

That's the right way to do it.

it turns out that Kami also moved a bit, so for now, here's what's happening: General moves one step to the right and heals Honor. Atim is trying to finish off unit 6. I attack from the right, dealing 8 damage.

By the way, what about Ferus's accuracy? Does the penalty for lacking the skill show up or not? If not, he should have around 82% (+15% from the talwar), but if it does, then it's 62%, and his dodge chance is 5% instead of 15%...

I didn't record the penalty in the spellbook, nor in the WT. As for movement, it might be possible.

Added 3 minutes ago
General heals Honor. Atim shoots at Warrior-6. Warrior-6 takes 50 damage (-49/330). Genza attacks Warrior-8. Miss.
