--I agree with David. We need to bring this creature to the residence. If she's lying, we can always kill her later, but if she's telling the truth and we deal with her immediately, the consequences will be catastrophic. As for the Haven... We're not mercenaries, we're not soldiers, war and politics are not our business. And no greenhorn with excessive ambitions will force us to go to war and fight for who knows what. Dalingr is offering us enough to last a lifetime. So, forget about this Theodore and his orders. So, what do you say?

So, my only hope is for mentor Athelstan.

-- Are you seriously believing this nonsense she's spouting? You've really lost it!

— What do you think you can buy for 60,000 gold coins?

-- How much did you say? For ten thousand? I don't even know... I'd buy an army.

--I agree with David. We need to take this creature to the residence.

-- I don't understand where you want to take it and, more importantly, why?

-- How much, you said? Ten thousand gold pieces? I don't even know... I'd buy an army.

— Exactly! So, if Dalingr is willing to pay 60,000 for this thing, it must be even better than an army. Can you imagine how powerful it is?

-- Do you really believe all this nonsense she's spouting? Seriously!

-- I don't understand where you want to take her and, most importantly, why?

— Well, I don't really believe it, but there's still a chance that innocent people might die (but who am I kidding, I don't care what happens to these peasants). I agree with Sirkhan and you about Dalingr's offer. You can't just turn down that kind of money. But we suffered losses in the battle, and we don't have a healer with us. In any case, we need to return to the Order, lick our wounds. Then, we'll go straight to Dalingr. I don't think there will be any problems with her. We'll tie her up, gag her, and I'll guard her at night. Once we break the spell on Agatha, you can personally behead "Elisea," or whatever you were planning to do with her. Does that sound good?

Mike and Joseph arrived at the First Warden's office at the same time. On his desk, one could see a map of the nine kingdoms. It seemed he was contemplating the tactics and strategy for the upcoming war. Without any unnecessary greetings, he proceeded to explain the essence of the mission. - The mission is quite simple. Although the Valkyrie Haven is under the control of the empire, it is either poorly guarded or not guarded at all, as it has no strategic value, and the Castle itself has always been empty, only coming to life during the celebration of the Illumination. You need to go there and find out all the details of what is happening, confirm the deaths of important figures, gather information about the actions of du Boucher and his retinue, and also find out the plans of the elder prince. This is unlikely to help directly in the war, but it may reveal many important facts.

Just in case, I'll clarify that in the current situation, if you start carrying out the mission on the other side, Theodore will call you deserters. And it will be difficult to get away from the problems if you return to the order first.

Mike cleared his throat slightly and began to speak slowly:
- I apologize, sir. I... was directly involved in the events at the Haven of Valkyries. I served as a scout in the Order of the Golden Finger. I can even tell you some of the facts I know. Unfortunately, without material evidence, when the Empire's invasion began, I had no opportunity to preserve them. However, it should be acknowledged that our order made several serious mistakes, so I don't have complete information about what happened. So, I am ready to volunteer to go there and uncover more details.

Theohar had a good night's sleep. He was still pondering the list of tasks. He didn't want to go to Heligkight; he even less wanted to consult with the chief scout. Attempting to issue an ultimatum to the natives wouldn't lead to anything good; the mage was sure of that. The Valkyrie haven remained. Theohar tried once more to recall those events, but at that time he was too busy in Katharia; he learned about the death of King Heligkight and the group of assassins only after joining the order of watchmen. With these thoughts, the mage approached the office of the first watchman. Guys, sorry, I really have nowhere else to go. I'm too limited in the choice of decent quests. And I don't have enough time for a proper game.

- Tell me everything you know right now; you can add the rest after completing the mission.

Is it working?

-- Uh, well... Okay, if you think so, let's do it. But I would have visited Dillingr, at least... Is it really necessary to bring Elizea all the way to the headquarters? Maybe Dillingr knows what to do with her.
Revan, are we worn out? Or is our health full, thanks to the regeneration?

The mage slowed his pace slightly and then entered the office. Before him stood the first warden, Joseph, whom he knew, as well as a strange man whom he could barely remember.
-Excuse me, - the mage coughed. -Am I disturbing you?

What about meeting with Friedrich to get help in the war? - asked Joseph. - To be honest, I find this task more interesting. I'm not the best scout.

Revan, are we worn out, or are we at full health thanks to regeneration?

I intended for you to receive the letters AFTER you resolved the issue with Elysea, so a few days should have passed, and in that case, you should have already healed. But it's up to you to decide what works best for your roleplaying.

-Excuse me," coughed the mage. -Did I interrupt?

- No, come in, we're just having a briefing.

What about meeting with Friedrich to get help in the war? - asked Joseph. - Honestly, I'm more interested in that mission. I'm not the best scout.

- In that case, you'll go with me in a few days.

Regarding skills, Torvar takes Watcher I.

+2 Strength, +2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution, +2 Speed, +2 Intelligence, +6 Willpower.
In battle, Torvar gained the knowledge necessary to fight mages, the kind of knowledge that is truly important for a Watcher… Or an ex-Watcher, depending on how fate unfolds. And while this Barbarian can hardly be called a great theorist, practice still means something even in his case.

Revan is in a very difficult situation. :( Dalingr won't be able to help, at least because Revan definitely won't let him carry Agatha around (an NPC healer in the party would be overpowered). And I wasn't really planning on carrying her around anyway, I just wanted to leave her in Haven. So, I see only one way out...

-- Uh, well... Okay, if you think so, let's do it. But I would at least visit Dalingr, even if it's just to... carry Elizea all the way to headquarters? Maybe Dalingr knows what to do with her, right?

— Hmm, I don't even know. I definitely won't abandon Agatha! So, you go to Dalingr, I'll go to Haven - I'll catch up with you later.

– You can’t handle two of them on your own. You also have to carry your own weapon and shield, and you only have so many hands, – Torvar pointed to David’s hands. – Come on, let’s go see Dalingr, and we’ll decide what to do there.

Warden I.
