But Sandar didn't teach him any training... You can wrestle in the bathhouse.

-- Well, thank the gods. Here, sixty silvers. You didn't think we'd forgotten about you, did you?

Did you use your cosmetics today?

- My brother Arno and I met this fellow in a tavern, - Voldemar nods towards the drunkard and recounts the details of their conversation with him, but doesn't mention the potion.
- We found it strange that some stranger decided to "help the poor guy" so readily. Of course, this didn't prove anything, so we decided to investigate.
- Arno went with him, and I quietly followed behind.
- Instead of one "acquaintance," they were met by three...
- Well, I wanted to quietly approach and observe what was happening, but this guy - he points to the scoundrel. After all, it was him who jumped out first, right? - noticed a noise and "called" the others, and two more. Some man and a woman.
- Well, we had no choice... Five against two. Axes, daggers, a club... And the woman wasn't just anyone... A witch... In short, three of us are no longer with us, the woman managed to escape, and this one... is here...

Then Voldemar tells about the place where the skirmish took place and indicates the direction in which the woman fled.

not really, but I just forgot about it, as the day suddenly changed. if it's possible to do it retroactively, then yes, if not, then no.

- I didn't think so, - she says. - It was nice to play with professionals. What are your plans? Although, I suppose you and your team will have enough work for the next week.

-- What an adventure you've had... -- Raul exclaims. -- We've also made some progress. One of the poor souls in the church said that he was advised to go to a certain "holy place" deep in the slums, and it's not too far from the intersection where the witch disappeared... But I highly doubt that this is the main lair.

-- Well, I would even say that you guys are doing a good job... -- the burgomaster covers his head with his hands and looks at them with a tired old man's gaze. -- But I'm afraid that this witch is causing a commotion right now, so we have to act quickly. You, -- he points to one of the guards, -- run to the sheriff. And you -- he points to the scoundrel, -- immediately tell us everything, or you'll end up on the stake.

-- I don't know anything, -- the scoundrel seemed to cheer up when they left the slums. -- Me and Steph were just looking for poor souls and handing them over to that witch... We gave them a potion, and they went crazy, but I don't know what happened to them after that. She threatened me! The witch! She can get into your mind, and I've seen THINGS!

- Let's play. It will be fun to watch them try to stay in the saddle after a few days of orgies and drinking. And now I even have enough for a dress, - his gaze indifferently sweeps over the formal attire, and the topic of conversation makes a sudden shift. - Have you ever been to the west? Is there anything beyond the water?

- Do we have any time, Master Uni? We wanted to improve our equipment a bit. Although... I doubt the merchants are selling anything right now... How much time do we have? I could use some kind of potion... To restore my magical powers. This skirmish took a toll on me... Can I get something like that somewhere now?

- Who is Steph? Or rather... Let's name everyone right away... Who were those two who were with you? Who is that witch, and who came with her? Brother? Husband? Lover? Names!!!

- You say you don't know anything... Well, at least you know where you met them, right?

- You said the leader wasn't her. So you either know the leader or you know more about her than you've already said. So I'm listening!

- We need to use the storyline about the Northern Clans - let them stay at home, make pots out of clay, and not show their faces. ...A tournament, then. What time tomorrow?

If this thing doesn't show a positive result in the status updates at the end of the day, there will be penalties.

She said that if we mess up, she'll feed us to it...
