Heroist, excellent posts 👍 It's like I reread the entire expansion (everything related to Asmidul) without having to scroll through hundreds of pages, and it's also humorous and has an interesting narrative style.

If I understand correctly, the character cannot be removed from battle until only one remains?
If a character's health drops to zero or below and no one heals them, they are defeated. This ability prevents this and allows them to return to the battle as if nothing had happened after the battle ends without external help.
Author
Health does not drop below 1
Here, I was thinking about maximum health in the context of permanently reducing features (like Lampra's). You won't be able to move with zero health.

I didn't understand - is there a skip and an OS update now, or can we continue at a normal pace?
If I haven't forgotten anything, then the OS is only left for Genza and Ferrus. When the guys in Sugare finish with today's tasks, the OS will be updated, and they will have new events. If you don't plan to go there, you probably don't need to skip to their time for now.

Absolutely to all? Including injuries, hypnosis, etc.? Or are there "some nuances"?
By negative effects, I usually mean things like bleeding, burns, etc. Injuries, diseases, and curses are another category.

– Perhaps our side wants to surprise the enemy, – suggested Camistella, – no one in Calcite expects a cavalry raid... mm, but so many horses aren't needed for a raid. There is also the option of a mass retreat as a last resort.
- A mass retreat to where? If these walls fall, the Calcite Barbarians will come to Enlil...

Those stats that can't be upgraded in the library didn't trigger – that's realism!

If I go to the northern front, the samurai will probably be disenchanted...

Is there immunity to hypnosis?
I don't understand, are Good's burns, which cause -160 HP, considered "burns" or are they a "separate category"?
Is there a way to heal a "separate category" of damage? It seems like Atim can heal fresh injuries. But what about "old" ones?

Yes, he has enough HP to survive 1-2 hits... But there would probably be a lot of burns left.
Yeah... And all the equipment would be ruined...

Which hero is better? Asmidur in Sugar or Eric in Sizky?

By the way, there was an episode in Baldur's Gate where they attacked a guy who was about to explode, but besides the equipment, the participants also attacked the host.

Well, yeah. I wanted to find out about locations with obelisks and the prospects for sailing (which don't exist, lol). And I don't really want to go to Calcite with this new NPC. He's a real pain, that Lampre of yours... You know what I mean. If he hears "Erica," he'll think "Eyr"... Unless there's some alternative party without him, but that's unlikely...

Will hear "Erica," think "Air"...
And now I want to! 🍿

But seriously, I was planning to go west – to defend two fronts, so to speak. So, we could meet in Sizzik. I don't really want to turn into a zombie, but there doesn't seem to be any protection against that.

Somewhere towards the end of Ushu's account of the operation: - I'm not entirely up to date on military terminology, so I'll try to explain it in my own words, if you don't mind, Chief. I'll tell you what I saw and my assumptions, - Genza said thoughtfully, taking out a cigarette and twirling it between his fingers. - The Commander - he was quick, agile, decisive, always in the right place at the right time. He didn't have much damage output, but just a glance from him at a Calcite warrior was enough to make him sweat and tremble, losing all will. Fear of imminent death filled his eyes, and he would raise his spear against his own comrade, just to buy a few extra moments for his miserable life. Well, that's understandable, given his face. And the Commander, as befitting him, was the first to dare to raise his blade against Ginza face to face, but that absolute behemoth - he's been drilled in military tactics to the maximum, and he also has an overpowered armor and serious weapons; I would assume that the only way to take him down is to gradually pepper him with arrows, like a pincushion, cutting off his escape routes. Or maybe throw some rotten spells to make his hammer-wielding arm useless and his legs turn to jelly, and kill all his common sense. He's a cunning jackal, and he will cling to his miserable life until the very end, but he can pack a punch in close combat, commensurate with his status - either you need terminators, or it's a party wipe. Never send ordinary guys against Ginza, Chief. In general, given these circumstances, I would say that the Commander would benefit from some excellent weapons, and he would be a remarkable unit in all respects. Gonor - he's a killing machine, I realized that a couple of months ago. It's not easy to kill him, and he can take down four people around him with a single swing, but wielding that toothpick is clearly too heavy for him; he needs to somehow become more agile, and he runs out of steam quickly, losing value in long operations, but he's a beast in short ones. Sheila, to be honest - I didn't expect anything from her except a quick death. But you know, she did a pretty good job - wherever there was a gap or a survivor, she was there, and in one or two moves, the situation was cleared up. If she were a little tougher and stronger, she would be an excellent additional fighter. Illiman - he's slower than my deceased grandmother, and it's clear that he lacks the spirit to really hit hard. He might not even enter the battle at all, but if he does, everyone else suddenly feels a little better. I honestly didn't like him myself, there's something about him that makes you want to... - his fingers clench as if around a neck. - But if you look past that, he's a normal guy, a little strange, but who among us is without sin. It's almost impossible to defeat him with ordinary means, he's like a turtle. But his signature (and strange) shield is broken. In general, this fellow needs to be mercilessly driven through obstacle courses so that he gets used to moving faster in his tank, otherwise it's a complete disgrace; and he needs a shield no worse than the others, with a taunt, otherwise his impact will be reduced to zero. Otherwise, he's good for his intended purpose. Scar is close to perfect - strong, fast, not a super high-tier in terms of stamina, but quite good; but Chief, he's... I don't want to say "cross-eyed," out of solidarity and respect for my comrade, but that's really the case. He would be invincible in his armor - which Ginza stole - but now he's without it, and with such accuracy, but not super-invulnerability, it's a problem. Yes, he chose a difficult weapon, but he needs to train with it. This is the most, most, MOST critical thing in his profile; otherwise, he's almost a universal soldier. Kamik, or rather, Kamidoriy: something close to Sheila with a touch of Illiman. At first glance, he doesn't seem too impressive, but as soon as you start using him in combat, his value gradually becomes apparent. Fast, really; deceptively resilient, but not guaranteed, which is important in real combat - only in moments; and at the same time, he brings to the conditionally exhausted team what it was exactly lacking - control over the situation. Chief - he absolutely needs to gain more survivability and damage, and then he will be one of the best fighters in the squad, if not in the entire Asuguh army. Ferrus - I expected even less from him than from Sheila; he's the ultimate nerd, as much as possible, and yet, in our situation with the peculiarities of Ginza, he may have, due to the chosen strategy, saved the mission. He finished off several Calcite warriors and made Ginza reconsider - yes, I would like to plunge my blade into the ruler of Shina in a vulnerable spot and do it with great pleasure, but it's not a fact that I would succeed with the available forces - and he made him retreat. He needs combat training in all possible areas, but in this case, he earned my respect. Ushu - he was invincible and indispensable on the battlefield and skillfully took over command after the Commander fell. At times, it seemed to me that he was somehow playing with the enemies? So that they would suffer a little. This is not exactly how I'm used to things; nevertheless, it was he who brought us together when we were ready to fall apart, and he was always at the forefront. I think that with a little more damage, he will be a god of war. Atim: he saved our lives, and for that I will be grateful to him until my death. I know him a little as a person, and he seems to be a good guy, with his problems, but nevertheless. From a combat unit perspective, he clearly lacks accuracy, speed, and survivability. Being an intelligent person, and the only one who understands his profession, he was our priority for rescue, but in general, this somewhat undermined the combat effectiveness. The General - he also saved our asses repeatedly, but this whole story seriously wounded him. He needs to recover. And me. What about me? I can withstand some damage, as well as inflict it, and I tried to hit the most priority targets. If I manage to cut a sleeping artery, aorta, facial, brachial, femoral, renal... - he bends his fingers, then stops. - Well, and so on, then I'm happy. If not, then we have a problem. I saved the decisive, most delicious blow for Ginza, but he pulled back too early, so my armor is only stained with the blood of his minions. But this is just one name on my list, so someday - I hope - my blow will hit its target. As for Ginza - I already said that he's been drilled in the academy to 146%, and besides, he commands well, he's fat, strong, and extremely cautious, plus he has a stolen armor made by a master blacksmith from Margel. Calcite infantry - pikeman, a lot of HP, refuses to die. Archer - not the weakest, he can probably fire a volley, but I couldn't figure it out, but the bows are worse than our Asuguh bows. These are approximately the reconnaissance data in the end, - he puts the cigarette back in the pack. - If anything sounded unclear in terms of linguistics, I can clarify.

We could also go west; I'd go to Ninamiat and check out the temple. I don't know which is better: wandering around as a zombie or dying in the Calcidian pit...

I'll probably be offline for about a day starting tomorrow evening, so we can coordinate our time while Erika arrives and stays overnight until the 3rd...

I think the Calcite creatures don't take prisoners anymore... But it's okay, we'll figure something out. 👍

Asmidul starts a new day in the kitchen – captured imps are spread all over the table, golden mountains of priceless Asakhin rice rest in a bowl there, his home clothes are stained up to his elbows, the sink is filled with a mountain of dishes, and the pages of the cookbook are stuck together with greasy fingerprints. After using all kinds of knives, even better than Ostolord's, and half of the other cutlery, the guy finally manages to create a simplified version of the Inakowski recipe.
"I should have just ordered a pizza."

In his mind, the dish was supposed to look something like this:



, but in reality, he had to rely on his imagination.

After cleaning the floor and starting the laundry, he takes his place for breakfast and decides to wait for the samurai to arrive.

-- Regarding the operation. The landing phase went as planned. The gliders worked flawlessly; we deployed in a relatively narrow front line to maintain visual contact, but wide enough to prevent the archers and ballistae from concentrating their fire. Each of us took a hit, which caused some discomfort for those with less armor, but most were unaffected. If the night had been darker, they wouldn't have hit us at all, but then we might not have found the Stronghold, so the flight time was optimal. The enemy formed two lines of seven, while we formed one line with a reinforced center. Using our advantage in archers, we grouped together and forced them to approach at a disadvantageous distance. We broke through their formation in the center and divided them into two groups, preventing them from breaking through our rear, and due to our superior equipment and training, we killed almost all of them, depriving them of the opportunity to use their spears and numbers to their advantage. We lost sight of one, and he managed to escape to call for reinforcements. By the time Ginza and seven more archers arrived, almost all the spearmen had been destroyed. We managed to regroup and attack the archers before they could fire at our most vulnerable members. Ginza was a problem – Jack underestimated him and fell. I had to take command. We finished off everyone except two rank-and-file soldiers and the bespectacled one, pulled the healers back, and surrounded him... And this bastard escaped. He was faster than most of us, and there was nothing we could do. A major failure – none of us could have taken him on one-on-one while he was wearing that black armor; it was our best chance to finish him off. The last obstacle is Lampr, a powerful city madman. I don't know what demon possessed him to end up in the Stronghold. We tried to negotiate, but who knows how to communicate with these lunatics? Before Ginza found the right words, he destroyed the Orlam shield – which was very valuable, by the way – and almost killed Goods. The final phase went as planned – the bomb was planted, and we retreated to the designated point at the designated time. In summary: the main task was completed in full, no losses were incurred, a significant portion of expendable equipment was used, and one shield was lost. Nineteen souls were collected. All soldiers performed well, and no one panicked or disobeyed orders. Morale is above average, and one person has a serious injury. Ginza was lost – considering the problems he caused us, I advise you to take steps to eliminate him. Lampr has joined us, but his loyalty is questionable. Given his abilities, eliminating him with the 69th will result in irreparable losses to our combat capabilities. Finally, we are all now recognized, so infiltration operations with the entire squad are no longer feasible. That's all.

- There's no time for additional preparation; the new operation starts tomorrow at four in the morning, but we can figure something out regarding the equipment.
Thinking about Hisoka and some other members of the 69th Argos squad, he sighed inwardly – outside of Passion's Desire, there were very few blacksmiths who could handle foreign weaponry.
- I'm sending Goods home, so you'll have to manage without him from now on. If possible, I'll find you another healer.
Protector Sugara commanded thousands of warriors and other units, and yet he somehow remembered them all by name and what they were generally capable of.
- You recruited this Lampr, so you're now also responsible for his actions.
Argos then began to write down the order for the equipment officer.

"Honor.
Tiger Bracers
+3 to Attack Damage for close combat skills.

Sheila
Valkyrie Armor (Unique).
+25 to Defense, +10% to Dodge. +1 to additional attack damage for each point of Dodge (excluding external buffs).

Iliman
Banner with the inscription "Calcite - land of cowards and scoundrels" (in Calcite language)
Shoulder or second hand. After the turn ends, it applies a taunt to Calcite-origin enemies within a 5-cell radius.
Tiger Boots
+1 to Speed, +10 to Defense.

Scare
Adjust his colossal sword to fit the owner
The accuracy penalty is reduced to -15% when used by Scare.
Glasses
+3% to Accuracy (accessory)

Camidorii
Talisman of Light
When the character's health drops to zero, the talisman is consumed. After that, the health is fully restored.
Other.

Ferrus, Atim.
Speed Training
Grants certain skills if spent on it.

Ushumgallu
Drawing of Felicia Lungwort with two pigtails (author's fiction)
If used by a Calcite-origin character: +30% damage to Calcite-origin enemies on Felicia Lungwort's side.
Other."

Gense, the protector, apparently didn't find anything to give. Whether to be indignant about this injustice or, on the contrary, take it as a compliment was up to the guy himself.

- Before the start of the next operation, I recommend going around to the guys, boosting morale. Tell Atim that starting today, I've assigned him to the Hand, and after the war – if he survives – he'll have his own house in Sugara. That's all for now.

(While on the wall, the characters live in its internal premises).

By the way, Erika shouldn't have spent 2 hours traveling to the store and the admin office because of the watch, so if she meets Genzu and/or Ushumgall, she'll ask how they're doing and then think about what to do next... For now, she's standing on the street near the admin office.
