/Or it will roll a one and become an evil ghoul, throwing fireballs. That would be fun./

The trio knocked on Sarnissa's office door:
-- May we come in?

-Yes, come in. - Sarnissa, after a brief glance at the newcomers, continued reading her emails.

During their last adventure, Dalia began to better understand the teachings of Elulu-Suen [1/3]; Sarian Marell became interested in the book "The Greatness of the Soul in One Person," which he exchanged with Tailina for a future favor; he found the cult of Gavellus incredibly interesting [1/3]; and the former senator herself began training in fire magic with Asanmir [1.5/3].

Alright, everyone who wants to join, come on in, let's chat while Revan is writing his letters.

– We wanted to thank you, – said Ilkesedar. – You planned the operation very well. Is there anything else you need from us? – You are a good mage, – said Caroline. – But I miss books. I’m working on a spell, but… – She couldn’t finish the thought. – But thank you! – she thanked him after Ilkesedar. – I can go and get the news. Although I wouldn’t want to spend money on it, heh, it’s just news. But take a look.

What about me? ) Or does the Rosarian ability to invent new spells no longer work?

-- We wanted to thank you, -- said Ilkeseedar. -- You planned the operation very well. Is there anything else you need from us?
-- You are a good mage, -- said Caroline. -- But I miss books. I'm working on a spell, but... -- She couldn't finish the thought. -- But thank you! -- she thanked after Ilkeseedar.

-- Thank you. For a first time, it turned out... well. Exactly. We didn't avoid losses, but there could have been more. Of course, storming an antimagic prison wasn't the best idea for a squad that mainly consists of spellcasters, and I hope that in the future we can avoid such missions. As for the books... You won't find any libraries in this city, but I think we'll visit a larger place soon, where you can find something you like. Yes, Caroline. -- Sarnissa added, after a moment of thought. -- I would like to ask you to find out about the news that happened while we were away. At least, the most important ones, whatever you think is necessary. I will compensate you for the time you spend on this.

I can contribute to the news section if needed.

- Sarnissa, - James rasped, mimicking vocal cords.
Entering, he cast a sightless gaze over the huddled group of servile worms.
- I've come for my share. Also, I have a couple of comments.

-Good afternoon, James. How are you feeling? How is your hand? -Sarnissa reached for the envelope. -I will be glad to hear your comments.

– Alright, – the girl nodded. – We can save money by learning about some of the news through rumors, – Libar remarked. Ilkesedar nodded at James, and they left. [Let’s go to the informant. First, we’ll ask about the first three news items. Yes, “Sands of Time” too; we need to find out what the others know. We can probably ask the tavern keeper about the last two news items for five coppers.]

Sarnissa reached for the envelope.

+19200 gold.
Besides the money, there was nothing else in the envelope.

What about me?

Well, it's probably logical that a Rose Knight-Researcher might come up with something new over time, although I hadn't thought about it before.
Let's say 1/4.

Let's go to the informant. First, we'll ask about the first three news items.

Attack on "Sands of Time"
Ihāra and Naevis Vaesran are furious – the "Sands of Time" prison complex, located in Elutan, was attacked by unknown assailants: the guards were killed, and the prisoners escaped; moreover, the attackers did not hesitate to search each corpse, and took away everything valuable they could find. And although over the years, the level of security in "Sands of Time" has decreased significantly, during the attack, the complex was still well-protected, so it can be confidently said that professionals were involved.
Agents of Nizida are already looking for those responsible, and now, with the information obtained from the only surviving guard, it is only a matter of time.

Curse of the Pyramid
Cedric Möllendorf's expedition turned out to be more mystical and ill-fated than initially thought. Unnamed mercenaries and the "Desert Ghosts" squad strictly followed the instructions of the expedition organizer until they managed to secure the pyramid: after that, using a certain mechanism of this ancient structure, Cedric locked them all inside a secret room from which there was no way out. Thus, all participants of the expedition, except for Cedric's comrades from Western Kalevritia, died of starvation. But the madness did not end there: a few days later, an unknown person secretly assassinated Möllendorf, leaving no trace behind, and took only one item found in the pyramid – a chalice.

Attempt on the Justiciar
During a diplomatic visit by Caelia to the kingdom of Illiniar, a group of protesters attacked the guest from the Republic of Illinar, but failed in their low endeavor. As it turned out after the interrogation, the attackers were mercenaries disguised as disgruntled Illiniarians

Dude, no need for rumors, I need details.

You didn't kill the one who surrendered, did you? Seriously...

We killed them all.
