Unfortunately, Rurek has run out of words, so in furious desperation, the horde launches a final attack on the Sword, with little hope of hitting the cheesemaker.

as soon as I gave the AI (Revan) control over the fire mages, they started to perform well.

Rurek attacks Sword.
Sword receives 200 - 25 = 175 damage (-45/200).

- That's exactly what I'm talking about... damn Underlords... You can spend your whole life wielding a sword, honing your skills, winning... - He coughs up blood. - ...winning against strong opponents, and... And... And still never... Never reach the same level of power that... That... That is given to you by birth. - As he falls to the ground, Sword directs his last gaze at the defeated Vatagash. - Bro... I didn't notice it right away... But... You have the same tattoos as me... Heh... I... I... Maybe under different... circumstances... o... .... ...

Unfortunately, Rurek has no more words, so in furious despair, the horde launches a final attack on the Sword, with little hope of hitting the cheesemaker.

The Sword explodes, finishing off the remaining ones...

On the bulletin board: a match between the "Caen" and "Kof" teams took place on the bridge to the Forest of Fading Hopes. The score is 0:0...?

While quota-hired black writers churn out meaningless scripts for Netflix's dumb series, real drama is being written in the expansion pack.

The final words of Sword Rurec clearly didn't impress him, because, after finishing off his opponent, the sorcerer began to mock his remains in every way possible. First, the Sword lost its arms, then its legs, after that its chest turned into a cutlet, and in the end, its head exploded like a ripe watermelon from a very light push from the sorcerer's hands on both sides. Having finished destroying the corpse of the defeated opponent, Rurec caught his breath and even calmed down a little.

– There are two pieces of news. Good and bad. The good news is that we saved the village of Kofa from terrible doom. The bad news is... – Rurec kicked the mess that was once the Sword. – Instead of the village of Kofa, terrible doom befell our friends! The people... they were already worthy opponents. I'm not even sure we would have defeated them. But this trick... Vatagash... Gaal... Argh! HUMANS!

Rurec walked up to the corpse of the cheesemaker, who died at the very beginning, and began to disembowel it.

Ball, miraculously surviving, watched his comrade's fury with a hint of sadness in his eyes. Although he pretended to be a tough guy, in reality, he was a sensitive soul, and he thought that this act would only bring harm to Rurek's soul, but still, he couldn't find the strength to try to stop him. It seemed that he had become fragile not only in body but also in spirit.
"Gaal... You never introduced me to your favorite teacher, and you didn't tell me about all the things you know. Vatagash... How long have we known each other? The "time" that humans bring now hurts me more than the sharpest swords and the heaviest blows. The truth is, I always wanted to be like you – to be both brave and humble. Gadik... You were the quietest of us, but I know that you were just as happy about our journey as the others, maybe even more, and you truly cared about your comrades, even if you tried not to show it. Lu... I never thought about it before, but after meeting you, I realized that I wouldn't mind spending my life with someone who isn't of my blood..."

After some time, Rurek grew tired of kicking the corpses of humans and lay down next to the mutilated remains of Vatagash, his best friend, who had been disfigured by the explosion. Somewhere there, in Ikazkan, another friend remained, but they were now separated by the impassable lands of the Bagrov. There was nowhere to go. Only back to Kof. Yes, indeed. And why did the two of them survive... they should have all died together. As one large, cohesive expedition. Without regrets. But now... now there is a stone in his soul, darkness in his chest, and rage in his head. "There is no way back," Rurek whispered, looking at the stone ceiling. "I need to tell Kof what happened. Besides him, no one will accept us outside of Ikazkan. Yes... And ask the Claw to send Furies to retrieve the bodies of our friends. Vatagash... Gadik... Gaal... Lyu... What else is left for us? Only to continue fighting against the human fire. Otherwise, such "gifts" will soon come to every settlement and every cave." Unexpectedly, Rurek remembered Hatarait. Yes, back then, he didn't have any problems with his eye. Was he punished for some failure? Maybe they'll punish him for the second one now.

Erebus could very well have prepared some kind of nasty concoction, but (at least for now? 😏 Dorian isn't experiencing any such effects – on the contrary, he feels great and is losing his ugliness.

—Ha? Ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha!
As if feeling his face for the first time, Dorian removes his shield and stares intently at the distorted reflection. He runs his palm over his familiar bald spot, strokes his luxurious mustache and thick eyelashes, pulls at his newly grown teeth and the nose that has returned to its place, and his protruding ears.
—Well, what do you say? Aren't I handsome, with a whole 5 points of aesthetics?

Everyone thought the final battle would be between Rurek and Oshe, but in reality, it was between Dorian and Hataright.

Rurek and Ball return to the Dragon Claw settlement in grim silence. Kof was ready to listen to them — it seemed he was not yet aware of what had happened.

Meanwhile... 
- Hmph, in this form people are much lighter and more compact, - Hatarait sighed heavily as he finished gathering the remains of Zlyuka's husband and son, - the merciless winds of time, I suppose.
- Maybe we could still have won. - A few minutes earlier, Trafaret had smashed his head against one of the stones, but Lyazhka brought him back to life. - Are you sure we had to abandon Mech? He's the strongest of us. And our leader, at that. 
- I'm sure.
- But we had numerical superiority. 
- Where? Your arrows are like toothpicks to the horned ones, Lyazhka deals no damage, I might have hit, might have missed — were we supposed to surrender our lives to the whim of luck?
- But... 
- Besides, we came here on business. The fact that we took down the dog and a couple of swords on top of that is a bonus. By the way.
- What?
- On the way back, let's finally check out those strange gates.
- Maybe we shouldn't? I have a bad feeling. And Mech was against it... 

After some time, Hatarait forces Trafaret to go through the Great Divide, arguing his candidacy on the grounds that he was the most useless of their group. 


Number of skips: 4.


Number of mind ailments: 0; number of body ailments: 3; number of mutations: 0; -1 to 1 characteristics (vigor).
[Fragility] [Breathing difficulties] [Excess weight]

Trafaret receives a one-time skip through the savage's trial. 


7 -> 1

-


1 to 5 characteristics; non-standard skill or improvement of an existing one (determined randomly) to 3 -> 1 characters. 


Destruction of 24 items of equipment and inventory. 
2 artifacts. 


Each character may use one of the following effects: 1. Partially remove one of the Great Divide's effects -> hermit's trial. 2. Remove one mind ailment. 3. Remove one body ailment. 4. Forget any number of known skills. Gain +3 to a characteristic of choice.

(-1 skip) Trafaret finds a chest, but cannot open it. Having finished exploring the location, he returns down (-1 skip) and reports to Pervert and Lyazhka what he saw. Pervert forces him to hand over the artifacts he found, then tries to cut him down, but the archer retreats to the other side (-1 skip) of the gates, and the attacker does not dare to pursue him. He and Lyazhka leave, while the desperate, fear-shaken Trafaret awaits who knows what surrounded by gold and other treasures... Then, in a panic, he accidentally disables the beacon.

Wow, Khatych has become corrupted.

So, I basically wasted Onyx's blessing on something useless.
Now, I don't have any other options besides clearing a dungeon with a Phantom. Rurek doesn't know about this, but I do.

someone had to create the Evil Eye, and half of the problems could have been avoided.
