Posts from Dal Shabet

- Yes, sir...
This time, the journey to the "Sea Devil" turned out to be much calmer and more pleasant than last time. One of the captain's men led Amos to his leader, and there he saw not only Vincent Agares but also an old acquaintance – Laust Brightstrider; the two men were arguing heatedly about something.- I’ll send your little ship to the bottom right now! - exclaimed the demon-born girl standing next to Laust. This was probably his companion, Zianya, whom Amos might have heard about from the reward distributor in Dal Shabet.
Hearing these words, the crew of the "Sea Devil" reached for their sabers and pistols.
Laust gently placed his hand on the head of the excited girl and leaned slightly towards her, looking into her eyes. - Calm down, my dear. - Then he addressed Vincent again: - I will return later.
With these words, he left and left the captain at Amos' complete disposal.

–Oh, never mind. You’ll figure it out yourselves,” Adrian added and continued on his way to the market.

Zelig watched Laust leave.
- And yet, a reward has been offered for his head, but for some reason, no one wants to claim it, - he remarked. - Good day. Vincent Agares, captain of this ship? Harbor master? My name is Zelig. I won't beat around the bush: I have information that you are interested in a certain expedition to the wild lands that took place three years ago. We have something to discuss, because I... was a direct participant in it.

The merchant licked the fairy with his tongue and then handed her to Ratislav. - Sold!
Otherwise, I have magical treatises and magical maps, but there are too many of them to list one by one... There is also a memory stone, in case you understand the magic of reality manipulation.

-Alright, maybe the rest doesn't interest me that much. - With these words, Ratislav left the building and headed towards Madame Nyu's shop.

– Of course, not for a butcher. And what about them in general, are they magical creatures?

– Certainly! They say that a mermaid's kiss cures all diseases and not only rejuvenates you but also increases your male strength. – The man laughed again and then noticed that Adrian had already left.
I didn’t notice the post right away.
At the slave market, Adrian was met by two men – one was short, stocky, and clean-shaven; he sat cross-legged, chewing something while looking at passersby. The second man was taller, and his entire body was hidden under the dark fabric of a robe. Seeing interest in slaves in Adrian's eyes, the clean-shaven man pointed him to the signs attached to each slave. Apparently, there you could read the most important basic information.

Zelig watched Laust go.
- And there is a reward for his head, but somehow no one wants to claim it, - he noted. - Good day. Vincent Agares, captain of this ship? Harbor master? My name is Zelig. I won't beat around the bush: I have information that you are interested in an expedition to the wild lands that took place three years ago. We have something to talk about because I... was its direct participant.

– It’s not so easy to get this head, – Vincent smirked. – Now the reward for him is as much as two hundred thousand, but for a person like me, this money is not worth losing such a useful contact… Oh, where are my manners? Nice to meet you, Mr. Zelig, but before we move on to discussing such an interesting topic, answer me this question: steel, lead, or sea?

Amos didn't like this question. In fact, he didn't like anything about this city.
- Uh... the sea.

Can a slave save you from drowning if he has the "swimmer" skill, but you don't?)

Amos didn't like this question. In fact, he didn't like anything about this city.
- Uh... the sea.

- Good choice, - Vincent smiled approvingly and then shouted "Belanor! The sea!", after these words, Amos could see how a sturdy Khonthai man kicked another person overboard a little further away. As could be seen, his legs and arms were bound in chains. - A debtor. - The captain grimaced and spread his hands. - Now, tell me about your expedition...

-Okay, maybe the rest of it doesn't interest me that much. - With these words, Ratislav left the building and headed to Madame Nyu's shop.

Since Saeros arrived, nothing has changed in the room; the Moon Elf was doing her own thing.

Can a slave pull you out of the water if he has the "swimmer" skill, but you don't?)

In theory.

Lang hadn't encountered a worse place than Nevermore. Luckily, she wouldn't be staying here for long. Oh, and there was one more thing. As soon as she learned that Ivisa had opened a workshop here, Agnet immediately headed there. She was very curious about what had become of her old, brilliant acquaintance.

Hmm, yes, I probably shouldn't have gone to Lady Nyu; the sword there is only for "good" characters...

Horus, Maria, and Agnet arrived at Ivysa's workshop almost simultaneously. The owner of the workshop was sitting at a table at the end of the room reading something; various items could be seen on the walls and tables to the sides.

- (41) Instant Teleportation Device.
In combat, increases movement speed by 15.
Out of combat, allows teleporting a few meters (willpower/3), provided that the desired teleportation spot is within sight. 20000 R
- (3 1) Barrier
Converts a character's magical energy into a magic shield that absorbs damage. 40000 R
- (10 9) Blueprint. Dynamite. 5000 R
- Nemesis. The character reflects 50% of damage back to the enemy and restores health by the remaining 50%. The ability lasts for 2 turns, followed by a cooldown of 4 turns. 80000 R
- (2) Feather. Integrated into heavy armor, removes restrictions. 15000 R
- (30) Explosive Bullet. Pistol or rifle damage is increased by 50. 1000 R
- (2) Time Bomb. Damage 1000-10000. 10000 R
- (1) Ivysa. One-handed blade. The sword's steel is made of the rarest revanite, and the blade itself has been refined using the technologies of the outstanding inventor. Damage: 60, cuts (destroys instantly) through armor, other weapons, and shields. Absorbs 50% of the surrounding magical energy and converts it into pure energy to deal damage. 250000 R
- (3 1) Electra. Used instead of a shield; can be used with two-handed weapons. Block chance: (agility+speed)*2. Blocks damage and reflects it back at the enemy (does not work against ranged attacks). 30000 R

- A debtor. - The captain grimaced and spread his hands. - Now, tell me about your expedition...

- Fair enough. Well... - Amos told Vincent about their expedition: about leaving the outskirts of Shabeta, about parting ways with King Windfried, about the forced stop, about the shady dealings of the expedition members, about the death of Mearef Silverknight, and the changes in leadership, about capturing Kelenor, about Aurelius and his companions, and about the trap-filled ruins. He also mentioned the visit of Laust Brightstrider, as well as the "autograph" he left behind. After hesitating for a moment, he finally told them about what happened in the old part of the ruins. He didn't say anything about the destruction of the outskirts of Shabeta; however, it's not certain that he knew anything special, as he stayed in the camp while they wandered around the forest.
- Well, that's pretty much it. It seems like everyone is happy and satisfied, but... there's a lingering feeling of something wrong about all these events.

After a moment of hesitation, Adrian decided to choose Illaria and Dion.
“I’ll take these two,” he said to the bald man, pointing at them.

Horus, Maria, and Agnet arrived at Ivy's workshop almost simultaneously. The workshop owner was sitting at a table at the end of the room, reading something, and the walls and tables around were filled with a wide variety of items.

-- Wow! -- Agnet was even a little surprised to see not only Ivy but also Horus, but she was even more pleased. -- I'm glad to see you! How are you?

- A very curious story. - Vincent listened to the whole story without interrupting. - Laust told me about these ruins, but didn't say a word about their old part. As you can guess, our event is not related to this; instead, it is directly related to what Laust found in the treasure chest. There were maps.

--I'll buy these two,--he said to the shaved man, pointing at them.

After the shaved man received the money, a man in dark robes approached the two slaves one by one. He touched their heads with his hands and said something, ending with the phrase "now this person is your master," pointing at Adrian.
- They are yours, - said the shaved man and slapped the Khontai on the butt as a final gesture as she headed to her new master.

Ivisa, although she recognized Agnet, did not seem excited or surprised. - Good. It's strange to see someone like you in this city, Agnet.
