BATTLE IS OVER

Chrysh receives 65 experience for the battle.
Chrysh receives Lesser Alchemical Ingredient x4 from corpses

The mountain monsters are defeated, but a new wave of ratlings and Ice Eyes is already approaching the suffering squad. Chrysh needed to hurry.

The belongings of the deceased swordsman are taken by his brothers in arms. As well as the body.

The Sage Utar looked at Ida as if she were an unreasonable child. “Sharing our wisdom with them is a given,” the alchemist said, spreading his hands. “Who supplies the settlement of Sufferers with bombs and medicine? Who built their catapults and ballistae? We, the Connoisseurs! And now they can’t handle their only task… But I won’t be surprised if it turns out that our people in the Settlement of Sufferers are doing foolish things instead of working. If you want something done right, do it yourself. I'll give them a surprise with a personal visit.” In the meantime, a tall woman in a tight cloak approaches Utar. She exudes an aura of special sensuality. Or maybe it’s just the bombs hanging on her belt. “Ida, this is Mahra, my old student,” the alchemist put his hand on the woman’s shoulder. “An alchemist, grenadier, head of the workshop. A wonderful girl.” The wonderful girl says nothing but glances at Ida. For a moment, her face becomes visible under the hood. A beautiful face. “She will help us greatly. Grenadiers are the foundation for humanity’s survival in a prolonged war against monsters of all kinds and shapes,” Utar turned to the faceless warrior-connoisseurs lined up behind him. “And this is our squad. We Connoisseurs aren't much as soldiers, but we can read and write. Does that come in handy in battle? Unfortunately, no.”

In the House of Sages of the Clans of Connoisseurs, the wisest of all living people tirelessly worked day and night to preserve the history of a long-lost empire. In between this fascinating activity, they solved problems for the settlement of connoisseurs, argued with each other, plotted intrigues, and sometimes helped the Clan of Sufferers protect humanity from the threat of the chthonic forest.

Anyone could turn to the sages and understanding members of the Clan of Connoisseurs here, even to Lerad Frost himself. But one thing should be remembered: no one in this house liked fools.

Sarabas the Nutcracker arrives at the House of Sages.

Aristarch gains 50 experience points for exploring new locations.

Aristarch and KO lose 1 action point after a long journey through the tunnels.

Three and a half oiled men arrive at a wonderful cave with crystals. Here, you can spend 2 action points and receive from 2 to 5 valuable crystals.

Watching with regret as his chance to seize someone else's property slips away, Grunt gets down to business. "Hey, step aside from this thing, or you'll get shards in your eyes and end up cross-eyed." "Okay, unknown material, radius about half a meter; ideally, we need an explosive charge of three bombs on the side, but since there are no bombs available, we'll just blow it up haphazardly." Grunt moves back a couple of squares and carefully places the bomb under the base of the crystal.

Aristarch tries to remember what the “value” of crystals consists of…

He also examines the location and assesses how safe it is to rest here, apart from the possible attack by monsters: whether there is a risk of frostbite or something similar.

Crystals were profitably exchanged for barter points.

Only cave monsters posed a threat.

Swordsman uses the item Healing Potion

- Not a bad spot, though… – concluded the explorer, surveying the cave.
- So, guys, we have three options…
- 1. We go back, rest, and then come here to collect crystals.
- 2. We “stock up” right now and sleep, hoping that we won’t be eaten here… I don’t like this option very much…
- 3. We “stock up” one by one: one sleeps, three are “on watch.” And so on in turn. This option might work, but I prefer the first one.
- So, I vote for the first option. What do you say?

If they attack while one of us is resting, will only three participate in the battle?

The wise Uthar looked at Ida as if she were an unreasonable child.

"Sharing our wisdom with them is a given," the alchemist spread his hands. "Who supplies the settlement of Sufferers with bombs and medicine? Who built their catapults and ballistae? We, the Connoisseurs! And now they can't handle their only task... But I won't be surprised if it's our people in the settlement of Sufferers who are doing foolish things instead of working. If you want something done well, do it yourself. I'll give them a surprise with a personal visit."

In the meantime, a tall woman in a tight-fitting robe approaches Uthar. She exudes an aura of special sensuality. Or maybe it's just the bombs hanging on her belt.

"Meet Ida, this is Mahra, my old student," the alchemist put his hand on the woman's shoulder. "An alchemist, grenadier, head of the workshop. A wonderful girl."

The wonderful girl says nothing but glances at Ida. For a moment, her face becomes visible under the hood. A beautiful face.

"She will be very helpful to us. Grenadiers are the foundation of humanity's survival in a prolonged war against monsters of all kinds and forms," Uthar turned to the faceless warrior-connoisseurs lined up behind him. "And this is our squad. We, the Connoisseurs, are not exactly warriors, but we can read and write. Does that come in handy in battle? Unfortunately, no."

The teacher's reaction to the question could not go unnoticed by Ida, so the girl just tiredly rolled her eyes. Before she could answer him, the girl politely greeted Mahra and nodded hello to the warriors. However, she addressed Uthar:
"I know that the main strategic power of the Sufferers relies on our supplies alone. I think everyone knows that. What I don't understand is what role I will play specifically. The merits and advantages of the squad members are obvious. Everyone except me. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO? It's not like I haven't held a sword or bombs (who would even give them to me?). I have never seen anything heavier than a kitchen knife. All I can do is read, write, and transfer the effects of alchemical elixirs!"
"Wait," Ida suddenly realized. "Am I going as a guinea pig to test new potions?"

Men turn out to be useless in this matter because they understood practically nothing about strategy and planning. And monsters didn't scare them either.

All members of the squad will participate.

Uthar and Mahra exchanged glances. Even the seasoned warriors looked at Ida with surprise. “Do I look like a villain?” the alchemist spread his hands. “You’re going to learn, girl. To gain experience. I have already taught Mahra everything I knew myself, and even more. Humanity needs new talented alchemists.” It seems that deep down, the wise Uthar was offended by Ida's unfounded suspicions.
