"Ar! Finally, a worthy pursuit!" Tsulak roared, pounding his fists against his oiled chest. "Now hold on tight!"

It’s obvious that Nebok didn't plan this.

Ugh… You don’t understand me and you won’t. We have very different ideas about what constitutes an “interesting game.”
Astral’s jokes are just for the sake of joking. Illogical and even circumventing the mechanics. And with this post, Nebok emphasizes that it’s supposedly normal. No, it’s definitely not normal. There are clear “differences in taste” here. It’s “fun” for you, but not for me. That’s all...
And this joke is a time bomb, multiplying all subsequent negativity many times over. Just like the “first conversation with the Protector” in Obelisks. The probability that I won’t finish this expansion, just like Obelisks, is now close to 100%.

With this post, Nebok emphasizes that this is supposedly normal.

Well, yes, his words about how he won't roleplay emphasize that it's normal. Because when a person refuses to do something, it means that this action is normal for him and he doesn't mind repeating it. 🙄

Uff... You don't understand me and won't understand. We have very different ideas about what constitutes an "interesting game."

I think you took the situation too personally.
Experienced players have been through some things in various expansions. And it wasn't always just jokes.
Alex and I also have debuffs hanging on us, and they weren't applied for fun. Sarabasa was turned into a skeleton because his character annoyed Valuna and started shaking her in front of the local gym boss. Revan got offended and dropped him? No, he created a busty noblewoman who suddenly received Sarabasa's experience and continued playing.
In your case, an action occurred that could have led to either a debuff or, conversely, a positive effect. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Astral had a roll for buff/debuff/no effect. Although I'm not a Mage Guild member, maybe he really only planned a bad effect. But in any case, along with the debuff, you also gained experience. Essentially, you exchanged half of your OD for 100 experience.
And what did Ida get from telling you about her adventures? Nevertheless, I calmly continued playing instead of immediately getting upset that my character was given a chthonic artifact.

Ida’s transaction was completed successfully.

The acolyte has 11 barter coins left in her account.

After collecting all the necessary elixirs, Ida went back to her place to take inventory, check if there were any useful potions left in her old supplies, and see if there was anything she could use as a weapon for self-defense. She also just wanted to visit her parents. Ideally, she should have gone home right away. But she calculated everything so that she would arrive when everyone else is returning home.

I mean, we just have very different views...

Ida comes home. Unfortunately, she couldn't obtain weapons or elixirs this way.

Having realized that there was nothing particularly useful at home, Ida took a bath, had a snack, and changed into fresh clothes. The conversation with her parents was brief; she didn't go into detail about all of her adventures. Her parents already knew that she was going on an expedition. Allen was somewhat upset that she would have to part with her daughter again. Joseph, on the other hand, was proud and happy that his little girl was becoming part of something important. The man wanted Ida to achieve great things and be able not only to survive independently in this terrible world but also to be helpful to others. In the current reality, people must stick together and help each other. Useless freeloaders are needed by no one. Besides, after Mahra's recent return, as if by coincidence, Joseph's merits began to be recognized at the Great Library, and the ordinary clerk suddenly received a promotion. Whether this was related to Ida's adventures or not, no one said. Nevertheless, it turned out to be pleasant. It was as if the family's life was getting better and better. "I saw some warriors today who were settled in one of the houses," Allen remarked. "They're so handsome!" "Maa-am," Ida rolled her eyes, knowing where this conversation was leading. "What 'maa-am'? At this rate, you'll never get married!" "I'm not going to pester busy people. We all have an important mission!" Ida decided to remain silent about how she had been harassed in the settlement of sufferers and how much she hadn't minded it. "No one is saying to pester! Well, maybe someone will fall in love... Look, Augur's apprentice, what's his name, Aritrah, Aristruk..." "Aristarch," Ida corrected her mother. "Yes, exactly! He's a smart boy! He snagged such a beautiful girl from the warrior clan! He doesn't leave her side for a second. But it could have been you..." "It couldn't have been," Ida cut her off. Although Aristarch was a respected man, she had never had any romantic thoughts about him. "Allen, leave the child alone," Joseph intervened. Unlike his wife, Ida's father wasn't too eager to marry her off, although he would be glad if she found happiness. "Ida has finally managed to show that she is capable of something. And you keep bothering her with your men." Her mother continued the argument, trying to remind her how much effort she had put into teaching Ida in the past. She taught her daughter everything she knew: washing, cooking, and cleaning. And although the girl mastered all these basic things without problems, she didn't really like housework. Sharing responsibilities might be okay. But if marriage meant turning her into a personal servant during the day and a priestess of love at night, she would prefer to be single. This did not mean that Ida was against marriage as such. On the contrary, she would very much like to find a reliable man with whom she could build a family where partners help and support each other. In her ideal model of a family, there is no place for consumerism towards each other. However, one can want anything, but so far reality has only given her a fun meeting with Kikki and an unpleasant end for her warrior brothers. The conversation ultimately spoiled the girl's mood, and instead of resting, she decided to leave the house and go for a walk to the library to read some history books.

Well, maybe someone will fall in love… Look at that apprentice of Augur, what’s his name, Aritrah, Aristruk…
“Aristarch,” Mother Ida corrected him.

Just relax already. Aristarch won't fall in love with anyone anymore. You just demonstrated that you are ready to accept and swallow any crap and consider it normal. And not just any crap, but absolutely anything. Even something completely irrelevant. And Nebok even “salted” my wound with his “photoshop post.” I don’t want Aristarch’s wife to sleep around with some Hryashch, Tsulak, or Gorus by the “will of the forest”… In short, screw around as much as you like, but leave me alone. Aristarch will “marry” Eric, period…

Another woman ruined everything. What the heck!

You have just demonstrated that you are ready to accept and swallow any garbage and consider it normal. And not just any, but absolutely anything. Even something completely irrelevant.

Not really. Literally in the previous expansion, Lock dropped.

And Nebok also “rubbed salt into my wound” with his “photo post.”

You have a strange perception. Considering that I specifically created a character so that yours would have support.

I don’t want Aristarh's wife to sleep with some Hryashch, Tsulak, or Gorus at the "behest of the forest"...

Well, to be fair, that's how it would be. I have no doubt about this.)

On Erik, Aristarh will "get married" and that's it...

It won't work; they are not just from different universes, but from universes of different Mage Guilds.

Okay, I need to send Zaya home and create her brother, who will marry Ida. Just don't forget to add a chair to his inventory…

You need not only a chair but also a room with a door that you can peek through so as not to distract people from important tasks!

THE FIGHT IS OVER

Tsulak receives 25 experience points for a friendly beating.

The Great Cube of Randomness was not kind to Tsulak today. Despite being equally matched, he didn't land a single hit.

Tsulak and Fighter pleasantly spend 1 action point.

Corvis nodded vigorously.

"I completely agree! This option is not suitable for you! The secret is simple: if you don't want to become someone's entertainment or food, then don't die and don't get captured," wisely stated his deputy. "I suggest we go to the infirmary. Perhaps Heresis can help us with something. He always has a clear head."

It's a beautiful day to solve sudden health problems.

In that case, she will head there after politely seeing her guest off.

Did Revan get offended and quit?

I need to read Yaschur's post about Acteon. 11 years have passed since then; that’s incredible.
