Shieldbearer 3 attacks Dagger Thrower 1
Dagger Thrower 1 takes 56 damage (death)
Witch uses "Suggestion" on Voldemar: success
Voldemar moves 5 units

"Go away. Go away. Run away from here. Let everyone run. You will all die here."
This voice now reigns supreme in his mind. Although Voldemar understands that they have almost won, his legs carry him away from this place, and his throat screams "Retreat!". Until he comes to his senses, he can only hope that his comrades will finish what they started, despite the commander's retreat.

Raul uses "Holy Protection"
-- Hold on, Volodya! Victory is near! 
On the next turn, Voldemar will regain the ability to command and control over his own mind and body.

The Witch surrenders to the "Young One," falling to her knees.

-- Commander! I swear by all the gods, it's still alive! -- The sight of how the "White's" shoulder, which was turned into a mush of bones and flesh by a mighty blow from a mace, gradually begins to regain its shape, inspires horror even in the young berserker and the sergeant of pain.
Young One loses 8 sanity

Voldemar's turn

Where is everyone right now? Is Voldemar bothering her?

- But a glorious death is better than a foolish one, even though both lead to the same end, - replied the mage. - But the goal intrigued me, and since the preparation is planned as we go, I think we would be interested in participating in this journey.
Aidan nodded silently in agreement.

-- Excellent. I like our team more and more. Any questions?

Voldeimar would have gotten it, if it weren't for the young one and the early start.

Voldemar is on the upper left green square.

Hmm... He moved 5 squares, so he couldn't have reached the left one. Probably on the right?

Yeah, man. Seriously, there are issues with sanity.

Huge respect to Yashchur, by the way... Seven pages of non-stop battle in less than half a day, that's impressive.

Yeah, he's definitely got some mental issues.

So, he can make 6 moves and take the starting position of the Witch? And then immediately obliterate her...


Something like that...

How will he make them with SP 5? The Gratin amulet is all he has, or rather, its owner.

– It seems I haven't lived up to your expectations, my lady, – Gautier watches intently as the falling snow covers the crimson drops of blood on the arena. – Well, every defeat, except the last and irreversible one, is just an obstacle on the way to the top. How boring would the world be if it didn't sometimes deliver a blow when you least expect it.

– Wounds can be healed, injuries can be treated, nerves can be strengthened, and the spirit can be filled with new meaning, but once you're left to swallow the dust, – my lady glances at the site of the duels, – there is nothing more to be done, and there is nothing and no one to hope for. I'm glad you returned from there unharmed, and I hope that despite the result being different from your expectations, you still managed to have a good day.

A, yes... Will the cleansing flame work on Rigobert with a young creature if applied from the ground?

Yes

How are everyone's health and mental well-being at the moment?

Health is full, Sanity is 8/16 and 6/14 for Power and Magic respectively.

Arno (6) (104/160) (16/18), shieldbearers, and Raul are at full health.

– Excellent. I like our team more and more. Any questions?

– I only have one question, but perhaps my colleague would like to clarify something else, – the blond man turned his gaze to Aidan. – With your permission, – the artist coughed slightly and took out a notebook: 1. I would like to know what we should take with us on the journey, perhaps special clothing, books, food, or equipment. And will an advance be provided for this? 2. What payment scheme will be used? Will it be paid in installments during the journey or in full upon completion of the mission? And will an official employment contract be drawn up? 3. Are there any estimated timeframes for the duration of the expedition, and how large is the team planned to be? 4. Details about the ship
– You forgot to ask about the departure date, – Sandar interjected, sensing that the wizard might abuse the opportunity.

Voldemar takes 4 steps up and uses Cleansing Flame. It seems to hit everyone except the shieldbearers.

- Well, that sucks...
- Don't just stand there! Hack at that bitch! Don't let her get up! - he yells to Rigobert and the young one.
- And you, move forward too! - to the shieldbearers.

Rigobert attacks the corpse of Bela from below, the young one from above, shield 3 takes Rigobert's place and kicks as well, shield 2 takes one or two steps up (not sure how 1.5 rounds up) and clears the way for his "colleague".

Raul is in position, Arno takes 3 steps up.

-- Sandar, are you vouching for your friend? Because if he keeps creating a tense atmosphere with his bureaucracy, he'll be out faster than he can say "once"... Warm clothes will be useful. There will be shared provisions, but bringing extra is welcome. Don't say the word "contract" in my presence – contracts are for whores and mercenary scum, and neither can be relied upon. We'll set sail from Dismal on April 1st, and we'll keep sailing until we either die or reach our destination; there will be a reward upon our return. The expedition team will consist of a dozen or so, with two more as sailors.
