Panting, she approaches the bulletin board and reads what kind of stories are posted there.
Announcement
Oh, you learned friends,
Entertain me with stories,
With glorious and sad stories,
Whether they happened to you or to others.

And let the traveler read and be comforted,
For another's happiness is a burden,
And another's misfortune is a consolation,
And my reward will be generous.

Sheets of paper are attached to this announcement.

But the origin of the doppelganger was determined by a roll... The most boring option came up.

Thirty silver coins... and that's a significant amount. The hunt for the tentacles paid off. Probably... because the mind is really playing tricks.

– Since that's the case... won't you help me, master, with some magical powder and a potion of euthymia? – asked Ottar. – The first will allow me to return to normal right now. And the second will provide protection in the future.

Stronghold... A powerful person... it seems like there's something to be proud of, but it also sounds like a huge problem.
The master silently takes out two portions of powder and everything needed for "euthymia."

Happy Life
- Everything was perfect. The sirs/messirs, as it turns out, had forgotten what a good performance was. They asked me about it and a couple of other questions. You should have seen the surprise on their faces - as if they had all been living in some kind of rustic setting, rather than the comfortable one in which you would expect to find them. But in any case, we completed our mission perfectly. You, Melodi, and (I don't remember the name of the guy with the deleted thread) - you melted their hearts and souls like wax. You should be proud of that, and they will remember this year for a long time as the most unique in their memory. And I'm not exaggerating by a single percent. - Indeed... I missed something, - Amadeo's head tilted, and an unasked question stared into his eyes.
-- Well, thank the gods. Here, take sixty silver coins. You didn't think we'd forget about you, did you?

The biggest fan of tentacles in all of Dismal is getting high and changing into doctor's clothes. "Now I look normal, Master?" Ottar asked. "I've never been to receptions with nobles, but I suppose it's important to be polite there." He's certainly not she. He won't impress anyone with his beauty... and he's sick... and he wants blood... not a great day for elite socializing. But there's no other choice. Again!

“Then we’ll meet at the tournament. Or at the battles.” Hargen finally gets up from his seat, setting down the empty glass container. He nods goodbye to his new and old acquaintances and heads towards the arena, where he signs up for the foot tournament and fist fights.

Is there enough time there to read a book?

About 15 [minutes], that should be enough.

-- It'll work. Don't embarrass me. Don't forget to take your medicine; it should be better tomorrow. And take a shower too.

By the way... Ottar is taking his medicine. "Now that we have the opportunity..." Ottar said suddenly. "Why don't I take a bath in the best place in the capital? Right here. What do you recommend, master? I'm a complete novice when it comes to bathing." Whether bathing at Old Man Augur's was a good idea was questionable... But does he even bathe? Probably. He must respect himself. He's not just some outcast or, Void forbid, a commoner.

Having finished with the main tasks, Hargon finds a free place – whether it's the chambers allocated to him in the Stronghold or something similar – and begins to read the volume he bought the day before.

-- With blunt weapons, they fight in pairs, and the winner advances. There are three prize-winning places, -- the official repeats the memorized phrase for the tenth time that day. -- The same system applies to fist fights; you can use your feet, but no grappling is allowed.
Are fists considered blunt weapons? or just the head
- Is medical treatment provided after the fight? I would like to be in good shape the next day for the following battles, - Sandar explained.

The Last Refuge
The book contains the wisdom of the best of those who have acknowledged the Void, regarding the nothingness of existence and the goodness of death.
"Of course, you cannot remember the moment of your birth, but others remember it. How did you come into the world? In blood and pain, covered in vile slime. What did this bring to your mother? Death and pain. What did it bring to your father? Worries and fear. What was your first sound? You cried, deprived of blissful non-existence, unwillingly thrown into a world of meaningless suffering. You will cry until your death, if your eyes are turned to the world, let the habit of enduring the meaninglessness of being, falsely called upbringing, make you cry silently now. And if you do not accept death even in life, you will suffer."
"But turn to what awaits you – and you will find Nothing, the only thing that is eternal and right. Remember your peaceful nights, when you were not tormented by dreams – were those moments more blissful? Death will be an eternal sleep for you, eternal happiness, for the only way to be happy is not to exist at all. Remember what was before your birth – did you experience suffering? Death will be a return home for you, you will not suffer."
"You will ask – so why not pierce your heart with a knife immediately and go into the arms of the Void? Of course, neither the fear of pain nor respect for duty should stop you, for neither exists in the Void. But remember – you do not exist either. All your actions are nothing, an error, an illusion, a random ripple, like a grain of sand falling into the sea. Imagine a grain of sand desperately struggling in something it doesn't even understand. Imagine another, but desperately striving to the bottom – aren't they both funny? Just as funny is a suicide, believing that his actions have meaning. You are meaningless, see it. Attempts to act will doom you to suffering, the world will fill you from within, drive you crazy, make you suffer. Inside you is the Void, it is also outside, it is in the past, present and future. And when you accept it, you will not suffer. You already belong to the last refuge, and let the great nothingness rock your insignificant body in the insignificant world – all is only the Void."
Hargon gains +1 to willpower.

Yashur, I'll let you go after the tour. First, I can't handle two battles at once, and second, maybe one of the players will take on your quest.

By the way, yes... Ottar takes the medicine.

– Since there is such an occasion... – Ottar said suddenly. – Why shouldn't I wash myself in the best place in the capital? Right here. What do you advise, master? I'm a complete novice in bathing matters.

Washing at the old man Augur's was questionable... And does he even wash himself? Probably, yes. He must respect himself. He's not some kind of outcast, or, may the Void forbid, a commoner.
-- This is a terrible mistake on your part. If you went to the bathhouse more often, you wouldn't be such a weakling. Go to the bathhouse master and have a beer afterwards. Ask for a birch broom. Getting a shave won't hurt you, but refrain from bloodletting.

Yashchur, I'll let you go after the tournament. First, I can't handle two battles at once, and second, maybe some players will join your quest.
And what, is it straight into battle? I thought we could at least buy some gear... And also, if it's straight into battle, when will the cast update be? It seems like it starts at midnight...:D

And what does "two battles" mean? I'm starting to feel uneasy...:D

The mechanics of the mounted tournament.
1. Initiative.
Initiative equals the horse's SPD + 1/2 of the character's initiative. The one who wins the initiative receives a 20% bonus to accuracy and a +5% chance to unseat the opponent.
2. Clash
The character can aim at the opponent's shield or helmet.
If aiming at the shield, accuracy equals the character's accuracy + the horse's SPD + 5 accuracy for each level of the polearm skill - 5 for each level of the shield skill of the opponent. The chance to unseat the opponent is (attacker's strength + horse's strength - defender's resistance - 5 for a knight's saddle) * 5%.
If neither is unseated, the clash is won by the one who wins the accuracy roll.
If aiming at the helmet, accuracy equals the character's accuracy + 5 accuracy for each level of the polearm skill, evasion equals 10 + the horse's SPD * 2.
The chance to unseat the opponent is (attacker's strength + horse's strength * 2 + DEX/5 - defender's resistance - 5 for a knight's saddle) * 5%.
If one hits the shield and the other hits the helmet, the one who hit the helmet wins.
If both hit the helmet, the one who rolled higher accuracy wins.
If both are unseated, it is declared a draw.

It could have been possible with a different quest solution... To replenish the ranks, either sleep or look for a powder (not the one that affects sanity).

Mm. I'm curious to know what procedures regular bathhouse visitors go through, as they emerge so strong, brutal, and oiled...

Ottar goes to the bathhouse master and does everything according to Master Gas's advice.

A bathhouse fisting with a birch broom, grooming the hair and beard, having a beer, but without drawing blood.

Mm. I'm looking forward to learning what procedures the regular bathhouse visitors go through, if they become so strong, brutal, and oiled up as a result...

Ottar goes to the master bath attendant and does everything according to Master Gas's advice.

Bathhouse fisting with a birch broom, get his hair and beard in order, have a beer, but don't let blood flow.
Steamed and whipped, Ottar, unfortunately, did not feel any significant changes in his characteristics, but he is clean, fresh, and slightly healthier.
Ottar restores 1 sanity, gains +2 to etiquette and charisma, and +30 HP until the end of the day, +3 HP permanently, +2 to etiquette until the end of the phase, and penalties from illness are reduced
