so there won't be an option with a caravan.

who am I going to rob?
I could start like this, but I don't know if I'll have enough money for a rented apartment, maybe I'll find better options (not a prison). And I missed the description of the starting location, if there was one, and what is the point, where are we and what are we doing? Does anyone have it saved or not?

capital of Aranna

- So, after the first roll, everyone either raises the stakes or "checks," and then you can re-roll any number of dice from 1 to 5? And then what? Another round, and you can re-roll again? - Ha... And if I end up with nothing after the very first round, then what? Will you strip me until the "three rounds of politeness" are over? - Voldemar's laughter didn't take long to surface.
- I think I now understand where the rumors come from about people "suddenly going crazy" for no reason. I thought it was a lie, but now I see. By the time the "rounds of politeness" are over, you'll be left without pants. How can you not go crazy here? - The laughter slowly but surely turned into a guffaw.
- Wow... Ten silver coins is a lot. Where am I going to get that much...
- I don't participate in Tournaments, - he glanced at the "warrior."
- I don't trade, - he glanced at the "merchant."
- And I don't even know how to play dice to earn that much, - he glanced at the commoner.

- And what does "a little something" mean to you?

Women come in different forms... Otarr certainly couldn't call her a woman, but their first and last meeting radically changed the modest life of the future Bloodletter.

- I understand. Well, rest up, buddy. Maybe you'll feel better, - the Bloodletter sighed. Not a completely useless conversationalist, but he only surpassed the others by a small margin...

The hapless investigator goes to look at what the elder of the Haven has offered him.

Having tidied himself up, the Knight goes to lunch.

-- No, if you lose, then bribes are pointless. Before, they would find the winners in an alley with their throats cut, so the authorities stepped in and introduced these rules for us. But for small stakes, we start with two coppers.

-- Excellent. There's a problem that's best solved without unnecessary bloodshed, a problem that will require getting your hands dirty...
-- Bring that problem to me, -- interjects Jarl Sigurd.
-- And finally, you can simply hunt dangerous creatures with Gautier... that is, Sir de Charny, also known as the Scarlet Knight – I think you noticed him at the feast. Which appeals to you more? Let me tell you right away, I won't be able to send my people on the first mission, so you'll need the help of expedition members or other talented people – not just in combat.

-- That's exactly how it used to be... Well, if you win, it means you deserved it.

-- Very well. You will depart no earlier than the sixth day of March, -- Geoffrey nods. -- What about tomorrow's tournament, are you participating? -- asks Raimund. -- Your horse will be stabled at the Stronghold from that day onwards; the Lord Regent has already taken care of it.

He won't die on his own, of course... Ottar knows how to treat frostbite! Uh... what are these 20% cold resistance? It used to be 50%!

Well, nothing to be done... one night will decide everything. Either nothing will happen, or he'll get sick with or without nightmares, or he'll be attacked. The outcome will determine the results of the investigation.

Normal blood can't be found here, so we'll have to wait a day. Ottar is waiting for the evening and goes to sleep, hoping to wake up alive.

...or that his nightmares will be stronger than the villagers'...

- Alright, let someone else play with you. I want to review all 3 "circles of politeness." I want to take a closer look at how it "works in practice," so to speak. I might play later, but that's not certain...

- I'm participating and thank you for taking care of Mrak.

Cassius's health has been restored after sleep, or does he need to find a healer?
