-- Ha-ha, well, that's better! Trophies are displayed for the public to mock, and the defeated monsters become legends! Tell my descendants about me, you little brats! -- Zuter said before he died. As he fell to the ground, he tried to do one more thing: break the vials of the potion with the mass of his body, all that he had left at that moment. How little he could have known at that moment! But this last, feeble effort could still preserve his secret. The liquid from these vials mixed with his abundant blood, forming a corrosive, foul-smelling sludge on the floor, and a terrible scream came from his throat. The strangeness of this scream was enhanced by the fact that it was uttered from a corpse already lying on the floor. His eyes opened wide, and his gaze froze on the dead commander, whose stubbornness had made him lose everything, gaining nothing. Thus ended the life (if it was even a life) of Ernst Zuter, a scientist and a bit of a vampire from the Southern Border.

- I suggest this: we take some gold, about ten bars, enough to cover our expenses and the debt to Tant. The rest in Moonstones. Later, if we have time, we can add some valuables. And don't forget the razor.
Ramzan pointed at an unknown device.
- I have no idea what it is, but since it's in the vault, it must be valuable. Can anyone figure it out? Basil?
Revan said the engineer might be able to identify it. I suggest we offer ten gold and Moonstones now, a sword for the Hero (since he's a swordsman), and give everyone else what they want. I don't know how long Basil will be tinkering with the device, so either he joins us later or stands guard somewhere.

After freeing those she could, Mara climbed out of the cage herself and, grabbing her swords, prepared to help Ernst in the fight against the mercenaries.

I liked it better with Vistrit.

Because you're a tough mercenary, not a geek. Vissy already mentioned that.

A Heroes player wants this sword (it's a swordsman's weapon).

With the speed and attack damage of a Hero, it won't be very useful, in my opinion. AND ANYWAY, I'VE ALREADY DECIDED I WANT THIS SWORD.

Oh, in that case, let's leave it; you can pick it up yourself.

No, you take them. Say you brought everything with you. And then negotiate with Mara; she'll take fewer gold bars, but she'll also get a sword for herself.

Why should I give Mare gold ingots?.......

At least it shifted the focus of the Special Forces away from slave traders. It's perfectly obvious.

You didn't shoot down any helicopters, you didn't expose yourselves to their bullets and rockets, you didn't kill any children, you wiped out half your squad, your AI and armies got discovered, you killed a cop, but when it comes to looting, they're already the first ones to claim it...

1) Aretz didn't do this either; you decided to engage under fire and try to shoot them down. This wasn't a necessity; it was your choice. 2) Arandor didn't do this either. And there was no need to kill them. 3) The cop killed himself. The helicopter, by the way, was also a consequence of his reckless actions. And he was by no means half of the squad, although he was a very heavy loss. 4) This wasn't the ERT, how can you even think it was them? We were spotted the moment the cop decided to check out their patrol. We didn't expose the army; we just led it to our enemies, diverting it from you. At the same time, your desire to shoot at helicopters provoked activity from the Outskirts' troops. 5) What did you do, besides getting a bus? All your success is pure luck; you didn't even have to fight in the Necropolis. Moreover, it was you who worsened relations with the slave traders and provoked military activity.

-Yes, let's do it that way. - replied Ramsanu Venling, after which she began to collect lunite and gold ingots.

Taking the time to finally put on her armor and glasses, Mara decided to cautiously sneak back, waiting a little longer first. She needed to check what exactly had happened. Before that, however, she contacted the squad: - Roger, Ernst is dead, and Iren and I have broken away from the pursuit. Right now, someone is engaged in a firefight with slave traders, most likely military personnel. I'll try to get closer and verify if that's the case. Although... John, can you provide the location of the Outpost patrols?

So, Wenling takes the gold and the sword, and the rest go to the remaining lunar positions, while everyone else fills in the remaining lunar spots. I don't know if I should leave Basil on standby; he's not very strong anyway. It seems unnecessary, but maybe it's worth it, in case he senses something and acts at the right moment. What do you think, Heroist?
- We're here, and we need all hands on deck. If you can get here quickly, we need you. Shhh.

- I'll try, but if the military is still there, it could cause some problems. Maybe John has some ideas about this?

What do you think, Hero?

I think it's better to leave him. If he were a strong fighter, that would be one thing, but as it is, he's almost as useful as a porter. At least he can warn us about the enemy, so we'll have time to prepare to repel the attack.
And then we can make a second attempt. The only question is whether it's worth taking the bomb to Nevermore. It would be a shame to destroy the city...
