Passage is difficult to be the god:
How do you do, Arkanar. I know you. Indeed
this your dusty roads lay down under the hooves of my khamakharskogo
stallion. This your areas forced me to squeak by teeth at the
sight of gallows and bonfires. This your invariably noisy
ambushes caused in me smile, and people - tendency to make something
good, that disrupts your killing injustice. Your luxurious
palaces, your severe streets... I know you. You descended to me
from the pages, which reek by typographical paint, and to the period
found flesh.How do you do, Arkanar, but... you whether this?
Wait a little, and 4 itself I will arrive at you in order to be
convinced of this. My fingers already lie on the plastic of
keyboard.Load...To acknowledge, I has long ago awaited the output
of game and had long ago been feared it. Joke whether - games on
the motives of the books and films frequently cause storm of
indignation in the worshippers of the originals, charge in the
"spoiling of this masterpiece", and other, and other. But here
not anything, but loved by me peace Of arkanara.
The first minutes of game noticeably me calmed down. They
did not make it necessary terrestrial progressora to rush along the
forests and the plains, killing enemies by bundles. Did not
rewrite subject in the spirit "but in reality all was thus...".
Everything is logical: local native carries out the task
of emperor in the period after events narrative. Vague time,
happen it could anything.
Parameters of the characterIn the menu of player on the supplementary sheet of
the parameters it is possible to see two groups of habits. Above
three habits, connected with the possession of weapons of close battle
-
lung,
the
average and
with heavy. Each new level gives to player the right to
increase one of them by one up to the maximum value - 10.
Reaching by 3, 5, 7 and 10 points in the combat habit gives the
possibility to learn superudar.
Is located below group of 5 parameters, which are developed
separately from the combat. Each new level gives to player 2
points, which that is free to spend on improvement in one or two of
them - up to reaching of "ceiling" into 15 points.
Remote weapon - parameter, on which
depends the loss, inflicted by small arms, increases accuracy.
Health - increases the maximum level of
health.
Diplomacy - on this parameter depends
relation to the character from the side of those surrounding, affects
a quantity of branches in the dialogues and of the versions of
fulfillment of assignments peacefully, a reduction in the cost of
bribes. Plus is the level of prices in merchants.
Endurance - increases the maximum level
of endurance.
Medicine - increases the effectiveness
of treatment.
By such we see character from within. But now let us look
to it outside - and at the same time to the fact that it by itself
represents and what place in this peace to it is diverted.
Thus, to us it is given: metropole - one piece, main hero
with the classical biography - one copy, Arkanarskoye kingdom - one
piece. I will be specified, that it is not necessary to confuse
Arkanarskoye kingdom with Arkanareye city - the difference between
them to the same degree is essential, as between the Moscow
principality and Moscow city, Kiev Russia and Kiev city. Spaces
be sufficient...
We is exerted in the skin of the young (well very young)
graduate (well, almost graduate) of imperial razvedshkoly.
Godika through one-and-a-half or two after known events.
But can, and unknowns - well coma in the empire are interesting
the disturbances, proceeding in the forgotten By mikoy kingdoms yes
dukedoms? Practically no one, if we do not consider emperor yes
his valiant reconnaissance, to which it is assumed to be interested in
this in the performance of official duty. Misfortune only in the
fact that also the emperor, and reconnaissance very, greatly much do
not know about that creating in Arkanare. But to know, you do
see, it wants, indeed in the empire disturbance, entire provinces pass
from the hands of emperor entirely into others. Well to whom
also, if not hardly to the adult servant of empire, will entrust
emperor this matter? It is understandable which is more to no
one. We will be intelligence officers.
For us one must leave for the rebellious kingdom and explain
that which did not succeed, until now, for entire intelligence
service.
What it is necessary to know, to know how and to have to the
intelligence officer respecting itself? Concerning the skills I
will allow itself to refer to the experience of Switzerland XIX- GO of
century. This form of sport as officer pentathlon, reflected the
essence of the combat training of officers of that time and that
peace. And completely I do not see, why to the noble Don not to
study officer combat training... Here from the list let us
exclude only floating - and let us study. On the difficult
reconnaissance way we simply should know how to fence, to skip on the
horse, to run without the horse (and from the horse), to shoot.
The intelligence officer is not intelligence officer without
this, and officer - not officer.
Well, and the fifth skill, not that in order to sport, but to
officer- intelligence officer without it anywhere. I.e. -
entirely anywhere. The essence of intelligence officer indeed
not in being chopped best of all, to skip is more rapid than all, to
shoot more precise than all. Intelligence officer acquires
information and undertakes the necessary actions, where to him aid to
await nowhere. And to intelligence officer it did not adhere to
be squeamish yes legible. If information can be obtained in the
noble Don - obtain. But if it it is possible to obtain in the
poor or the robber - go to them. Be rubbed into the confidence
and act. Litsedeystvo will replace for us floating.
But now popodrobneye about the necessary habits.
LitsedeystvoIt stretched shoes, left into the anteroom,
postoyal a little before the dark metallic mirror. Kasparamid
worked smoothly. In the mirror was seen the elegant, noble Don
with face, that somewhat growing thin after tiresome night duty, but
to the highest degree decent.
A. and B. strugatskiye, "are difficult to be god"
Well actually - as to intelligence officer without this?
You will recall, whom was Soviet intelligence officer Isayev
with the performance. It is correct, by shtandartenfyurerom SS
by Max Otto von shtirlitsem. And it bore esesovskiy uniform.
The developers of game reasonably judged, that they meet man
first of all on odezhke, on what and is constructed the masquerade.
Clothing in the game are not much. it - there is very
much. Jackets, jackets, camisoles and rags of the varied it is
color and fashions. Pants, foot-wear, head-gear, raincoats,
armors... The totality of the fact that is put on to the hero,
will define its social status and, correspondingly, then, as it
includes those surrounding. And that, how to carry out task.
Mercenary - this, in the essence of its,
no one. Status of mercenary indicates different color clothing.
It means that you it is not touched urban strazhniki and
baronial combatants (with exception of the guardsmen of sounding board
and Rimona), but will immediately and without the conversations attack
robbers, monks, the same guardsmen of sounding board or soldiers of
prophet. And the noble Don on no account will have a talk with
the mercenary, will not be given to it task. And chieftain
robbers will not give, and monk. Therefore it is necessary to be
more attentive to its toilet.
In the "doll" of the character of 8 cells. Two of them are
intended for the weapon, it is shield or arrows and class prejudices
they do not influence. However, rest six - very even. This
of cell for the head-gear, the armors, the raincoat, the camisole (or
shirt), the pants and the foot-wear. The clothing, dressed by us
thus, can be without the insignia of ranks, and it can have a
belonging with specific status. And in order to be disguised, it
is necessary as the minimum into five of six cells "to pass" clothing,
to this status appropriate. Then we cease to be face of the
indeterminate kind of occupations.
Pilferer - status, which gives the
clothing with the modifier "in". Robbers it is not touched
pilferer (if it does not attack first), in it will not interest
themselves the guardsmen of sounding board and Rimona, the soldiers of
prophet or gray will not attack it. This now and then very by
the way, if it is necessary, for example, to rapidly cross locality,
without being distracted to the fights, to strike by the first nothing
the suspecting bandit - once and for sure. Well or it is simple
to have a talk with the chieftain - stranger it and to listen to will
not begin, but here pilferer - if you please. But you be ready
for the fact that you attacks urban of guard, past which you recently
peacefully passed in other suit.
Don - clothing with the modifier "D".
Representative of gentlefolk. And it dresses on- noble.
To it will be glad another dony and their guards, but here to be
thrust in this detail does not stand into Arkanar - the soldiers Of
arkanarskoy free republic (AVR) donov do not love just as robbers,
monks, gray or the soldiers of prophet.
AVR - clothing with the modifier "A".
Representative Of arkanarskoy free republic under the management
consul araty. Them barely they love - but AVR- sheep do not be
loose beyond the limits Of arkanara.
Monk - clothing with the modifier "M".
It is now and then very necessary for the fulfillment of
assignments, but to fight in this costumer it is necessary with all,
except monks and troops of donov of sounding board, for peak, Turtsa,
Seta and Unchily.
Gray - clothing with the modifier "s".
Soldier of gray companies, two those ago served as the support
of arkanarskoy authority. These in the kingdom they love still
less than monks, only troops of donov of Turan and Vaysari suffer.
More clearly interrelation between the classes and the fractions
they are shown in the table of the "relations of fractions".

"playing" by the collections of clothing and by their
statuses, is possible to vary the manner of the passage of game - from
the aggressive "to mountain by all - I arrived!" to the calm and
the diplomatic, with the minimum of murders. It is it's a pity
only, which to agree in no way is obtained with the forest poultry.
The ridingIt is interesting, I will learn by 4 to sometimes
examine horses? True, we, Rumaty Are estorskiye, spokon is
age-long we do not examine horses. We are the experts of combat
camels. It is good that in Arkanare almost there are no camels.
A. and B. strugatskiye, "are difficult to be god"
On the horses in the game of conversations there was
much. And not only in this game. Let us recall such games
from the famous series The Elder Scrolls as Daggerfall or Oblivion, in
which the horses were, and Morrowind, in which them not it was.
Little whether censures it did appear in the amateurs of rapid
ride, who did not see in Morrovinde of horses? But in the world
Of arkanara horse - this is not simple means of transportation.
It is not possible to visualize the arkanarskoye kingdom, on
which noble dony would not travel by the top. But it is simple
to sit in the saddle little. Horse - since ancient times the
satellite of soldier. Horse - its comrade, support and support.
Horse soldiers always occupied elite position in comparison with
the infantry. And this here role of the cavalry attempted to
realize developers.
However, why - "did attempt"? Let us glance more closely
at the fact that is the arkanarskaya horse.
Horses occur different. From each other they are differed
in terms of a quantity of glasses of health, in terms of the reserve
of endurance, in terms of speed and protection. Well, and by
price. Prices of the jumpers are everywhere high. But it
is now and then very high. And if farm horse it is possible to
purchase for the completely acceptable money, then the acquisition of
khamakharskogo stallion painfully beats along the pocket.
However, after travelling over the earth of surrounding donov,
it is possible to find the merchant, who sells to you khamakhartsa
relatively inexpensively. But here are we finally in the saddle
- and that to us to make with the horse?
About yes, first - on it it is possible to drive. It is
possible and now and then necessarily. Some tasks, which require
the operational (time limited!) displacements between the points
A, B and s, to carry out without the horse is difficult. Some -
and are completely impossible. But horse, as we already refined
above, not only means of transportation. Rider simply does not
sit in the saddle - they are free in it even and hand. And,
sitting in the saddle, it can chop supostata. The impact of
horseman is terrible. The damages, substituted by horse soldier,
almost are twice higher than the damages, which can apply the
infantryman by the same weapon. This whether not occasion to
pass from its two to sivkiny four?..
However it is strange, I assume that no. It occurs that
the arkanarskaya life requires from us the outstanding skill of
horseman. To notch enemy, without having given to chop itself,
sly task, indeed maneuverability in horse is small. However,
rider- that they will not notch. But here is horse...
But horse, as it is assumed to combat jumper, picks up
impacts and bites, intended to rider. To me my horse it was
always it's a pity; therefore I am dismounted before the struggle.
Yes even in the foot battle I feel itself more confidently.
Foot battleFifteen well-fed louts with the axes - too not
much for the person, who manages the methods of battle, which will
become known here only three centuries later. Crowd was rolled
and rolled away.
A. and B. strugatskiye, "are difficult to be god"
On the struggles with the weapon in the hands in this
game it is possible to speak for long and with taste. Developers
tried to the glory, after making combat dynamic, combat methods -
beautiful, and weapon - numerous and diverse. Weapons actually
very much. It is divided into the small arms and the short-range
weapon. However, the weapon of close battle occurs three it is
specific, each of which, in turn, is divided into two subtypes.
Small arms does not spoil by excessive variety. This in
comparison with the contact, of course, 4 varieties of bows and 2 -
the arbalests of local production, and also 4 terrestrial models -
needle-shaped rifle, arbalest, skorcher and grenade discharger.
However, as far as short-range weapon is concerned, it, as we
already mentioned, there is three it is specific - lung, average and
heavy.
Light weapon - these are the most diverse swords, sabre, the
axes and cudgel, which can be held either in one hand - one-armed or
in two - paired. Respectively differs the specific character of
conducting battle and the presence of superudarov, which for each of
the subtypes on 2: the "stroke of eagle" and "mill" in the
one-armed, the "bite of spider" and "fan" in the paired.
Heavy weapon - either the one-armed lung, to which into the pair
is added the panel or two-handed swords, axes and combat scythes.
Respectively are distinguished technology possessions and
superudary - 2 for the one-armed with the panel ("bear paw" and "fatal
sickle") and 2 - for the heavy two-handed ("spindle" and "gale wave").
Average weapon - all that which has a pole and a tip. Be
it combat staffs, Morgensterns, halberds, glefy etcetera drevkovoye
variety. It is divided into strictly the the drevkovoye
(superudary - the "rustle of wind" and the "sigh of winter") it is
more double-sided, that is to say having on the tip at both ends of
"stick" (superudary - "oar" and "storm").
I do not undertake unambiguously to state, what weapon is more
preferable. Each form has its advantages and its deficiencies.
Here completely guides ball its majesty the nature of player.
Your obedient servant prefers the light paired weapon, capable
of bringing down to the enemies deg of fatal impacts, however I
completely can understand those, will command whom the unhurried
crushing power of heavy two-handed sword or the distance, which can
ensure weapon drevkovoye.
I, certainly, aesthetics. Such beautiful impacts and
combinations 4 I will recollect neither in Diablo nor in the games of
series Neverwinter Nights. Perhaps, the big enough part of the
perebitogo by me arkanarskogo people this lot postigla is precisely
because of the beautiful combat, but completely not because of the
"circulation". Finally, the lion's share of experience in this
game comes not at all with the murder of supostatov. Experience
in essence follows the executed tasks and the open secrets - which
neskazanno gladdens. To be pumped through and not to fight?
Of course not problems!
Game proved to be, in the essence, by the attempt to recreate
and to bring to the logical end that torn on the very that not on
there is culmination and tragic moment the narrative about the fates
of peace and people, in it which live, which fight, which suffer and
which die. From one mission to the next, from one location to
the next, from one dialogue to the next before the player new nuances
are revealed. History is created.
Hardly game vpechatlit those, who search for in role game
hundreds of side-line tasks and dialogues, a large quantity of
versions of answer to each question and so forth - subject TBB is
linear and does not allow deviations to the side. But both
judges with the soul of the prescribed subject and amateurs to wave by
sword will obtain from it the plenty bit of pleasure.
PassageExhaust ballOh you! This day here finally and came!
The heart of my protege will be overfilled by happiness - it
caused to itself into the camp itself the Don Mayshi. How, well
really you do not understand? Call to the Don Mayshi it
indicates not more and not less than end by the order of the disgusted
already school of reconnaissance. Here only chuyet serdechko,
which simple so to be disengaged will not come out from it. Well
here - as it looked into the water. However, hardly someone
expects to graduate from school, without having returned examination.
First tests of more easily light. Possession of blade,
ride on the horse. But here further...
But further chief required to solve certain problem
with the robbers and the disappeared necklace. For this gave out
permission to be equipped by all, that it is not closed to the key, it
reported the coordinates of the connected, in whom must be the
information. And - go for a walk, by road.
Well that zh, let us leave for the restaurant of the "barefooted
of irukanets", where this informant himself through the name of
forelock is located. He will describe to us, where to search for
loss.
Before the departure it is appropriate to discuss with the
assistant of the Don Mayshi - by the master of reticence, xwho also
has a task. Why and do not soak to poor miller in his problems
with the robbers? Especially if this the respected person wants.
It is possible immediately to skip to the informant, while it is
possible also to wait. Chief indeed did not assign timetable.
We travel a little on the region, let us look, that to what, let
us be chopped with the robbers, it is reparable its financial state.
The matters was formed very many!
However, the matters justified themselves. First, by the
healthily bulked purse, secondly - by the collection of robber
ammunition. But without it, as it is explained, anywhere.
It is not enough that robber posts literally on each turning, so
also to the chieftain to go necessary. But to porubat' entire
gang, I fear, even to this dashing fellow as my hero, there will be
several... tiresomely. It is necessary to have a talk.
Diplomacy generally piece is useful.
After pretending by messenger from the tenant, let us bath in
chieftain the most stolen necklace. Everything, it is possible
to return.
It does be worthwhile to indicate that the Don Mayshi did
include the executed task, did praise and did award? But in the
camp the entirely unknown Don already awaits us. And here there
everything begins. Who could think - he only graduated from
school, and immediately two most important tasks! Moreover one
of them - the personal request of emperor himself! Definitely,
my of protege under the happy star was borne. Forward, into
Arkanar!
CoastThey landed us on the desert shore in the distant
region. We reveal packet (well, such, classical, "before the
reading to burn"). We explain task, comb tykovku... outfitting
on the highest discharge. Money - hen they do not peck, in the
head - fanfare. So here and went happy and proud graduate,
poigryvaya by new paired axes, listening to pozvyakivaniyu in the
purse. To the first turning it went - and it already there
awaited the patrol of monks...
Monks local entirely lyutuyut. They steal people.
But people by people, and to intelligence officer from the
captivity it is assumed to run. After having a talk with the
fellows on the misfortune, we explain, which to run is possible azh by
two ways. One of the prisoners, on the name Tario, proposes to
attack the monks and by force to be opened at liberty. The
second, on the name Nodem, hardly living after an unsuccessful attempt
at the flight, convinces quietly to flee through the sap. We
with character conferred and solved, which Nodem us in a human manner
more greatly pleases itself. We run through the burrow!
They ran. At the neighbor mill was revealed skhron with
after all the utensils. After dressing and after being armed, I
feel itself more confidently. Everything, is time to be selected
from this locality. Let us here only cut out bad monks yes let
us discuss with incomprehensibly from where the undertaking himself
stranger.
Environments Of arkanaraBut Arkanar- that, occurs, it is blocked by
baronial troops! Father- lights... and as you do propose to be
scolded through the cordons - by force? Oh, you do not amuse me,
but that I will begin to cry...
They descended to the gate. There us here under
the bels of ruchen'ki they gripped. Spy, they speak. Well
as to these ignoramuses to explain that not spy 4, but intelligence
officer? But also positive moment nevertheless exists.
They dragged us to the commander to ikhnemu - by the Don Tameo
they call. Oh, something wakes its name in the soul, although
they did not hear in our razvedshkolakh about this the Don...
But I was distracted. Means, that commands - the
Don Tameo. Personality is very amusing. It loves to hang
people. But still more this personality loves to drink.
But in this locality of drinking bout, which can be consumed
without pressing nose, it is not conducted. Ho! For the
bottle, which means, it will pass. We then broke into a run
after the bottle - along the way there was here some bar...
Faults in tavern keeper there is - this by itself is
good. Is bad the fact that to return or to sell it simply so it
does not desire. Run off, you do understand, to the neighbor yes
wring from it small debt! Are agreeable, not sugar. They
broke into a run to the neighbor.
Neighbor it was possible to persuade. Money obtained,
tavern keeper contented, by fault (excellent, by the way, fault!)
in our hands. But not long - the Don Tameo us has already
long ago been waited until. Fault to it - and passage to us.
Entire chestno-blagorodno. Let us here rummage a little in
its trunks - and will go further. There it - Arkanar!
Suburb Of arkanaraIf who thinks that the road troubles were
finished, to serpent to disappoint on this. City- that it is
closed. And some is closed because of the stupidity.
Someone with someone something did not subdivide, someone with
someone fought, someone killed someone... It cannot be worked!
How, you do speak, do call instigator, amiable? Oak?
It is agreeable, it is converged, let us ask...
They descended, they asked. Becomes clear
situation, yes. In oaks in the storerooms they spoiled entire
reserve of intoxicating. Yes, we with my character harmoniously
sympathize to grief. And, of course, we are taken soak.
Suspected - someone Yega. It is found on the pier.
But here to already kill it or to agree - our matter, amiable!
After being in Yegi, we unwind ball further. It hunted
nothing, has long ago it sold its alcoholic. This is
disadvantageous to it. The matter becomes interesting.
After returning to the institution oaks, we make examination
concerning the predilection to all existing witnesses of the matter -
to son oaks, to his assistant and to night watchman. Aha, here
is it as. Small filaments converge on the certain young fellow -
Shayto. Well, then navestim, let us question...
No, we with my character, definitely, brilliant
inspectors! Criminal is found, is approximately punished, the
peace between The the duboy and To yegu is established, the entrance
into the city free! Well not fine people whether?
ArkanarFine people. Here fine people passed for
the urban walls - and straight to the house along the street of
boilermakers, 8, where lived the certain noble Don Rumata.
Personal request of emperor, not the pound of raisin. Here
precisely that "lived". Now- that here no one lives.
Smouldering ruins one remained. The fermented by a number
poor little intelligible describe could. Well it is agreeable -
not in the desert we are found, there neighbors how much.
Question- kA of them...
They questioned. In essence nothing sensible, but
here is is one honorable old woman recall- after all, that was similar
the Don. And that lives even in the city its servant - someone
Muga. Where it lives, she, of course, does not know, but it
indicates the bench, in which it frequently saw.
We leave for the bench, and from there - to the house of Mugi
itself.
From the conversation with The the mugoy we got the mass of
information. Learned the pair of names, facts, zaimeli curious
documents. And were obtained to the hands the remarkable blades,
which belonged there is no time to its owner. It is excellent.
Let us continue searches - now they concern three personalities:
dony Of okany, Don Reby and IRE of ripata.
The Don Okana with the Don Reboy themselves already no one
nothing will describe, but to us it is accurately known, where it is
possible to find information about them. Let us begin, perhaps,
from the Don Reby. good the former royal palace not far. In the
palace they do not hurry to release us. It was necessary to run
off to the guard commander and to thrust bribe for it. It would
be possible to seek out clothing, to try to burst open without the
money, but we judged, which so will be simpler and it is more
reliable. In with right the wing of palace is revealed the
diary. We read. Much we think.
Everything occurs somewhat more complexly with the the donoy Of
okanoy. Its documents are stored in the ruins of merry tower.
The tower literally of this at night... well, let us say so,
they robbed. But they locked archive with the archivist.
And to us, to brilliant inspectors, it remains nothing other,
besides as soak to helpless AVR- sheep. Matter simple -
direction to us was indicated with an accuracy to block. To run
off to likhodeyam, to have a talk, approximately to punish, to return
with the victory - entire business- that!
The freed archivist on happiness returns to us the diaries of
deceased Okany. Again we think...
In the searches IRE for ripataIt is agreeable, we were dismantled with the
corpses. If one may put it that way, of course, therefore as
questions of pokoynichki they left more than answers. If corpses
cannot anything describe, should be searched for living. But
from the living catch exists only to the captain of the gray companies
IRE of ripata. From the letter, which it sent Rumate, we know
that searched for it must be somewhere in a slop number (well and
nazvan'itsa in them here!). Simple so cannot be fallen in a slop
number - it is necessary to know secret motion. Ripat in the
letter indicated that tavern keeper in the "stronghold of authority"
(map it is applied) it can indicate place and connected. We
leave for southern Arkanar.
So there is. Place and the name of connected now we know.
They pass without the problems, we climb into the hole...
Good to change clothes by robber - rest the inhabitants
of a slop number begin without the conversations to chop before the
passage.
Here is it, the house IRE of ripata. There is no owner,
there is only note in the trunk yes of three killers, who wait...
i.e., those already waited at the entrance. Comforts only the
fact that they waited not me, but owner. Is agreeable, the
matter the past. But here we now accurately know from the note,
where to search for Ripata. It is necessary to hurry, but that
would not leave what...
So there is. Ripat and three additional killers.
We help to be repulsed, afterward - we converse.
After obtaining additional food for the mind, we help captain to
be selected from the city. Now time itself to take a breath, but
who to us will give?
To kill the consulWell certainly, they will give to us to rest as!
Boy came running. Transmitted regards and command to
appear into the docks. We leave there, and there...
Regards from the authorities. Someone the Don
condor directly and unequivocally forbids to continue searches on
business Of rumaty. And it orders to immediately study its basic
task. Hour from to hour not more easily! Yes as I will
kill consul arkanarskoy's self-proclaimed republic? Its- that by
protection?! It is good although that by condor from Soana it
arrived together with the Don and someone the fop of Dada, that same,
about which just barely spoke Ripat. It is devoted to the gray
matter, but it is approximating top AVR. It is necessary to go
to become acquainted - there are no other catches.
They had a talk with the fop. There are two news.
One good, and the second, as it is conducted, not very.
Good lies in the fact that the fop actually will help to
approach Arate in his own residence. Not very good - in the fact
that will make this selfishly motivated. 5 thousand coins -
large money. However, this not such already and problem, if we
not brezgovat' by the murder of all counter robbers (if you want -
consider this the purification of streets from kriminaliteta) and to
sell that taken from the bodies to merchants. Money - matter
acquirable.
In the time indicated we approach the residence of consul, we
transfer money. After several minutes we already inside AVR
-ovsko1 of stronghold.
But they there us already await.
3x, not fate to us to kill Aratu!
In the a little detuned feelings from, I will not be afraid this
word, friendly conversation I leave from the residence. More
Novum of information, that to think, already and I do not know...
But in front of three familiar figures in the black raincoats.
But which flickered from behind, 4 and note- that it did not
have time.
Darkness...
Flight from the lock Of rimonaTo come into itself it does not be desirable well
completely. Judging by everything, on the back of the head they
dealt a blow by bludgeon. And they dragged. Where, by the
way?
As soon as we come into ourselves - they here enlighten us,
where we and why. Graph Of rimon... Familiar name...
seems, precisely, from it there was the neraspechatannoye letter To
rumate, which we borrowed from Mugi. Well that zh, let us look,
let us look.
Local masters, judging by everything, not separate- that fear
flight. They make it possible to go for a walk on the territory
with the outfitting, the money and the weapon. Improbable
connivance!
In one of the structures (from the lock through the park and to
the right) is revealed fine looking person by the name the father Of
kabani. Also prisoner, means. Very useful prisoner.
He offers to us with the character the possibility to be
selected. Servant- that Of rimonov in the debts as in the silks.
Denezhki we have. It will let out, anywhere it will not
disappear...
Not to separate. It supplied with thievish
clothing, road was indicated. And after a certain time it raised
alarm, cattle such...
Soldiers we although where, so that they were repulsed.
But it is further... After glancing at the map, they
estimated route rather better. If we turn to the left, then it
would be necessary to fairly popetlyat'. So that we send to the
right of external gates and - to motion, to motion!!!
Only to motion to us no into Arkanar - if Rimon found us there
one time, then will find the second. The sole place, where it is
possible to be covered, some drunk den, about which it told Kabani.
And place deaf, and aid there, if we believe to old man, can be
found. 3x, where our did not disappear!
Drunk denWell here we were taken away into the wilderness
itself. Are more toneless nowhere - forest, gnats, the spiders
yes of the bird Of siu. hardly were repulsed. But in the den
they already await us... Saint Of mika, well why where not
sun'sya - everywhere await?! We begin to suffer paranoia in the
separately sharp form.
But awaited us old acquaintances - Don condor the Don Prani!
We obtain vyvolochku from the authorities, and at the same time
- the new portion of information, it is still more improbable than
before.
On the Don To rumate - so completely something, plotting not in
what framework. Earth after the void, celestial ships...
From the mind to descend it is possible...
Without having given to arrive into itself, gentlemen
earthlings send us back into Arkanar. Someone doctor ore down
will me there await in order again something to charge. As you
to me all tired, by saint Of mika, as they tired...
Regards from "that light"But here let us go not in what Of arkanar!
We will not go - and all here. And not in that the matter,
which disgusted "blindly" to work. Although this also, is
certain. But only not to that now. Ordanos, right hand Of
rimona, met us at the output from the thicket. One razochek of
entire scratched, but - by poisonous blade. Thus die
intelligence officers.
And no one learns, where the small grave is my...
... here those of times... Like it died, while
like also no. Next shaman some terrible, nonsense bears.
He indicates that we died, yes not entirely, and perfumes
ordered to save us. Leave, it is said, on the the local by
zagrob'yu, but if they do not kill - that it will return me
conversely. Strangely all this...
Oh, mom is expensive... Already on that the
customary we became, but in order to such... They spoke with
holy Mikoy, Totsem they conversed with the marshal, the spectre of
some of baron musin to me its inheritance promised, if 4 upon its
ubivtsam I will take vengeance. And with the Don Shityu reboy to
talk it was brought, and with itself by the Don Rumatoy... I not
be dead - accurately from the mind it descended. Well that zh,
you are held, gentlemen earthlings, 4 now about you so many I know
that...
But nothing. Terrestrial dony, certainly they
grew quiet, when we to voskresli and to koye on that they hinted, but
only shaman said that it could take out not entire poison from me.
Some trash nevertheless remained. So that arrive- after
all to go to the doctor ore down, therefore as it is more than me no
one to cure it will be able. shaman did how much there me tell -
two months I will lengthen still? Well that zh, then is worth
taking a trip into the lock Of musina. Baronstvo, after all, not
each day they promise.
Hunting to forest captivitiesCould not be reach without the adventures.
Along the road us intercepted the gallant combatants of
latter-day neighbor - baron pampy. Can, it and to the best.
The spectre Of musina much told about the neighbor - reveller,
the rowdy and the very good person. So that will be simple be
pretended by the real nephew Of musina. The word Of pampy weighs
in these edges oh as much. Here only to survive the baronial
hunting, from which to be unscrewed is obtained well in no way...
Baron!Well, here are we and "house". In the lock us they
meet not that in order to very cordially. There is much recently
the aspirants to the lock and earth. Especially baron deka is
zealous. But we indeed from the words of spectre know such,
what, besides old servant, no one know can. And about the fact
that the father not musinskikh blood, and about the fact that brothers
and there are no sisters. And that that hunted Musiny
exclusively with the falcons. And that the graves of parental
not to find nowhere. And most important - we know that the press
Musinov has long ago been lost and the ring is used instead of it.
Here even and Pampa for us guaranteed... It will be
sufficient with the interest in order baronstvo to confirm.
Hurray!
But at the room of baron - surprises lie. There are many
surprises. So our "father", occurs, also earthling! But
his son not of propal, but it was returned into imperial
razvedshkolu... Oy-oy-oy, something to me restlessly somehow...
probably, poison acts. We quickly introduce in baronstve order
(razbo1nicki- with...), we gather the taxes (tyuey poizderzhalis'
smallness) and, after catching strange family objects, into Arkanar.
Be treated we will be.
Doctor Ore downAs soon as we met with this ore down, half of us
simply was stupefied and for a long time zatikhla. That half,
which sits on this side of monitor. Therefore as this imperial
intelligence officer "Rudolf sikorskya's name" nothing tells.
But is here for its alter ego... Without understanding the
shyness of its half, latter-day Musin threw out to Rudolf that the
fact that it got from the conversation with Rumatoy, after requiring
truths and medicines. Medicine Sikorsky pierced, truth like as
also said... But it warned that its medicine entirely did not
help also for the complete confidence it is simply necessary to help
out the father Of kabani... Here and guess after this:
once they have such medicines, can, and the truth of that...
with the the chervotochinkoy? But to live hunting; therefore we
take strange coupler and let us go.
In the searches For kabaniFor Kabani we leave for the possessions Of
rimona. He for sure considers its prisoner already dead, so that
problems arise must not. Sikorsky indicated to us one tavern
keeper, who can know as help out prisoner.
Instead of the aid the tavern keeper required to transport the
keg of beer to one shaman. What insolent person... It is
agreeable, let us bring, but if it and after this does not help - let
it pray!
It will not help. Therefore as it is not necessarily
narrower. The shaman of the father Of kabani saw recently.
And it promised to explain in the perfumes, where it to find is
possible, if Musin of perfumes cajoles. Good "zadabrivaniye" -
to smash the heels of the gates Of rimona, located on old kapishchakh.
Good grand-dad...
We did not begin to storm gates. Instead of this,
after changing clothes by robber, from a maximally possible distance
"pecked" reprobates from the arbalest. And on one they chopped
those running out to the shots. For long - but what savings on
the potions!
Shaman, after replacing anger to the favor (but it would try not
to replace!), it described that it hides Kabani in Gnilovrazh'e.
We leave there.
In Gnilovrazh'e to find loss not so it is complicated. It
suffices to stray across the camp of peasant army, across its that
part, that next to the blacksmith. There, in one of Sarajevo,
and they locked miserable. For people to smash it was necessary
orderly, but they ourselves climbed - the word of honor!
Treatise Of budakha Of the irukanskogoOf kabani it is rescued. It is bad only,
that not about what antidotes it and not slykhival. Thanks
although, that it advised the book, in which there can be the answers.
Doctor budakh's treatise "about the poisons...", very first
model. It is interesting. They speak, doctor wrote him in
baron unchily, yes so there and he left. Let us take a trip
there - what already...
But any treatise does not have Unchily. I.e. -
entirely none. They robbed Unchilu. And which is
interesting: library entire "cleaned", but more nothing they
touched. Competent pilferers send. But send competent
pilferers into the possessions of the Don To vaysari. It is more
rapid after them - can, let us overtake...
They overtook. Oh, they overtook... Thus
they overtook, which became hot! The last survived robber as on
to spirit everything laid out. That- de there were the books,
yes. Their holy fathers ordered to steal. They generally
recently the book in pilferers will bath plait. Are strange the
matters your, Lord, but as not to be late - to bonfire- that.
After changing clothes by monk, we skip to the cloister
settlements. They came galloping. After conversation with
the holy father it was explained that yes, the plait of the book
heretical. Yes, there were the books from Unchily. They
were - and no. Entirely no - only one knizhitsa plain remained.
And, so to be, they will yield to its brother from the distant
arrival for the public burning. Uff it seems had time.
Transport- kA output to Rudolf.
Sikorsky, by the way, very operationally made contact and
reported that it is located near, in one local restaurant.
Important messageFinally treatise is delivered to Sikorsky.
Let he study, and here thus far new task matured for me.
Entire nothing - to transmit communication to agent, which is
located in the possessions of the Don To deki. It is simpler
than the simple, it would seem, but... But literally for a few
minutes before our appearance agent To nitasku was killed; therefore
it is necessary to complete its mission for us. Mission- that
also simple - to derive the group of knigocheyev. From Vigreux.
Thus here, directly take sun' head in the very lair of holy
order! It is good although the set of monastic clothing and note
with name and address of agent they was located here. They no
longer will be required by the dead Don.
Agent is good, something to say - personally the Right Reverend
main inquisitor the father Of terp gave out for knigocheyev the
symbols of purification. It gave out - this is good. But
to be removed hence to podobru-pozdorovu is necessary rapidly.
They were selected without the problems. Rudolf awaits us
in the possessions of donov to peak and Turtsa. Valid exchange.
To it living knigocheyev, to me - finished medicine. True,
I surmise on the tone of Sikorsky, that no medicine to me is
necessary.
Well it is agreeable. There is no time to me to here stay.
From my possessions arrived the news, that the lock Of musin in
the siege. It is more rapid there!
To protect the lock Of musinYes, actually - the possessions they attacked.
New misfortune is some, the soldiers of some prophet, about whom
to us it already several times had the occasion to hear. True,
assault was somewhat earlier, and its valiant our guardsmen repulsed,
but this evil still will swarm in native now baronstve. Well
that zh, the debt of baron - protection of its possessions. So
that cartridge into the hands - and forward! For the kind Of
musinov!!!
It is interesting. Thus far we hurry abouied on baronstvu,
uprooting aggressors, into the lock it came unexpectedly guest.
Not someone, but the graph Of rimon by its own persona. It
is agreeable, Your Lordship, say, with which they granted... Ah,
you also earthling? But well it is must, who could think...
that- that, you do speak? Ah, they did search for artifact?
And as, powerful artifact? O, even so...
So to be, we will not begin evils to it to hold.
Especially as in it also proved to be important information and
ideas about this prophet. But they must be still here only
verified.
Seeckt the prophetFirst of all after the information about the
prophet Of rimon it advised to go into Arkanar. There operates
the certain organization "three swords", which with this prophet
himself on the knives. Already enemy- that they must something
know about each other.
In Arkanar we had time v.akkurat to the hatter selection - only
and it succeeded, what to repulse in the cutthroats of prophet consul
arata. Organizations "three swords" more does not exist.
But this is what is entirely already strange - all facts
indicate that nests the sect of prophet not somewhere, but in Vigreux,
under the very nose of holy order. It does not believe somehow.
It is necessary to verify...
It verified. It nests. It was necessary to
smash much people, yes even itself only it was head it did not
accumulate. But it did not accumulate indeed, which gladdens.
Here only immediately appeared to us the crowd of monks fully
armed and politely thus it transmitted after slaughter, that
archbishop chagin imperatively recommends to me to it to appear.
It appeared. They had a talk. It learned much new
and strange. Its svyateyshestvo mentioned about the ruins of
ancient monastery, in which can be stored mysterious artifact.
Again much thought...
Now to meet Rimonom and to explain what to make
further.
Urgently to Rimonu!But Rimon is light on the mention. And to it
urgently is required our presence. So to be, compatible two
needs.
Actually, then that it awaited us in graph, it cost the
postponed trip to the monastery. Certain injured Don and his
saved barbarous priest. They spoke confusedly - moreover both.
But it was possible to explain that the prophet already
possesses some powerful object, with the aid of which reduces the
people from the mind this it becomes increasingly more alarming and it
is more alarming. If we nothing undertake, prophet simply will
sweep entire kingdom. Only, what we can now undertake, continue
searches. Now this already our matter. So that there did
speak the bishop about the monastery?
Searches for the artifactBut here also that monastery itself. We saw
these ruins already. Exactly in this place took leave with the
amiable father Kabani. No, this already passes any boundaries -
us they again await!!!
After being straightened with the sequential party of mountain-
killers and after being certified that they awaited actually my
protege, we was pivoted and, already even very without being
disturbed, we be sent toward the drunk den. Sikorsky, is
similar, there is that to us to say.
It is more accurate, it was that say. As soon as we
brought conversation s ore down, on the scene suddenly appeared Rimon.
To acknowledge, did not somehow believe that Sikorsky can be so
taken aback. Sikorsky also did not remain in the debt, and as a
result all it was about which think. To my character, for
example, it was sufficient Proceedings, that he is any not impostor,
but very that not on is baron musin, the son of local baroness and
earthling. Romantic...
Well, and, in addition to this, they became authentic
known that one ancient order actually hid something in The ikayushchem
scaffolding. Possibly, if we assemble information about the
order, it will be possible to reach also the artifact? But about
the order to us is known only the fact that into it entered the
founder of Bow's kind urgently to Pampe!
But Pampa in the detuned feelings. In view of the last
events it sent the dear baroness into Estor and now it is sad.
After baron it was possible to comfort, it reported that in it
actually is the book, written by ancestor, and the piece of silver
plate. From the book we learn, which in all was 9 keepers and 9
fragments, which, being assembled together, will open secret.
Then nothing it remains - it is necessary to obtain all parts.
Pampa mentioned, that one of the keepers was the ancestor of the
Don Turan...
Yes really there is in the Don this Turan bezdelitsa.
And it even is ready to return it for the certain service.
It, do see, it desires to be hunted... Well that zh, let
us arrange to it this possibility. True, it was necessary to
work by beater. But on that you will not go for the great
objective?
Second plate. And information about the following keeper -
graph Knox.
But the graph has problem. They precipitated its lock -
and it is sufficiently serious. Troops of gray, troops of monks,
on top of that and robbers. Well the really noble Don will not
endow by silver plate for the aid in the removal of siege?
To remove siege is possible, after agreeing with those
precipitating. But it is possible this not to make, but it is
simple to smash them. That that did not make the guardsmen of
graph, completely on the forces to imperial intelligence officer!
Siege is taken, plate is obtained. On the turn - graph Of
set.
But graph... About yes, the graph will agree to transmit
to us its part of the amulet. But only if we, in turn, arrange
for it knightly tournament. Not more and not less. For
help into the organization of deystva Of set it advised to turn to
Pampe. That zh, went to Pampe...
O, iznyvayushchiy from the boredom Pampa is agreeable!
All concerns on the organization of tournament baron is beret to
himself, after granting to us only small, but critical mission - to
persuade the only and unique Don Makatsu to judge this tournament.
Otherwise entire propalo...
The Don To makatsu was revealed in baronstve of deca-.
This patriarch, of course, rested... as a matter of form.
But eye- that so they became shiny! Then - into the way.
Road to the natural boundary of heavy swords lies through two
baronstva - strictly deca- and Vaysari. And always is necessary
to be repulsed from the robbers - whereas you will not force the
elegant Don to change clothes by pilferer! However, in spite of
age, the Don To makatsu wonderfully manages blade.
In Vaysari suddenly went the rain, and it was necessary to run
into the nearest restaurant after the raincoat for the old man.
Tavern keeper proved to be suspiciously generous. Not to
the good this...
Accurately. That most generous tavern keeper was
declared again in passage itself to the natural boundaries and
furthermore it is far from one. If I do say that us they did
await, no one will begin to laugh?
This battle is complicated by the fact that besides the
destruction of enemies it is necessary by any price to save the old
Don. Therefore it is necessary to in every way possible distract
enemies to itself. What? All robbers already did end?
Then forward - us they was tired of waiting.
Tournament proved to be small. Even in spite of the
refusal Of pampy of the participation. Young people into the
fight did not hurry to climb. Only seven soldiers were
collected. One, that means does not be sufficient. To
hint, who did become the eighth?
I understand, that it is not must. Also it is not must, I
think, to hint also at that, who won tournament. The first sword
of kingdom baron musin - truth, he does sound?
The following plate is stored in baron to peak. But to it
it is now sad - the son of propal. First was entangled with the
daughter of neighbor, and then - propal. We skip to the
neighbor. Baron turts there is no house. Lock as if on the
state of siege - no one they admit, no one they let out.
Examination with the predilection of local peasant showed that
hither and thither walks only the cook of baron. We skip to the
cook.
Yes, it walks. Yes, conduct it can. And, of course,
not free of charge. However, possible to solve the matter and by
commonplace threat, if diplomacy allows. Inside - very
aggressive baronial guard, the unhappy daughter of baron and the
closed to the key fellow. The daughter of owner dragged key in
the father before his departure. We take away pigeons into the
lock of the Don to peak. That, when it learned, that the girl
went against the will of father, immediately her it fell in love with
and young blessed. Finally everything was regulated after the
appearance of baron turts, required law court of God. Surmise,
who it did win? Sum - peace into baronstve and two plates in our
pocket (one more it presented the happy daughter Of turtsa).
Thus. Who there on the turn? Baron dek. Well,
with it we have old calculations. And it will answer for the
uncle, and it will return plate. Answered deca- for the uncle on
the complete. But plate we themselves in it that... iz"yali.
On the turn baron Vaysari. Very insolent footman does not
release to it. What to make?
If we go around lock, it is possible to have a talk with the son
Of vaysari. Very this devout youth does not approve the
muzhelozheskikh inclinations of father and with happiness will return
amulet to any, who will make young Vaysari by an orphan.
Uslykhav about the threat of the life of owner, servant
nevertheless released us inward. Conversation with the baron did
not leave pleasant impression. Here already selection after us -
to threaten it with publicity and to require plate or to be on the
watch during the evening jaunt and to please its son. We made
and that and, etc....
I, finally, the last part of the amulet, which is
stored in the Don Unchily. To noble baron it was wanted to be
married. For this it must grant to the father of suzhenoy the
proof of its valor. Poprerekavshis' several minutes, we refer to
rare hunting trophy - the skin of the cave person, who is conducted in
the possessions of the graph Of seta. Everything which is
required from us, to take a trip to Setu, to explain in the camp of
hunters the place of the inhabiting of game - and to obtain. All
are contented. Besides cave person, certainly...
Solution of the secret Ikayushchego the forestsThus, we have the complete amulet, which proved
to be none other than the map, on which was designated the passage
from Gnilovrazh'ya... somewhere. To search for more something.
It is necessary to go and to act. But in view of the fact
that there, after the passage, can turn out everything, anything,
appropriate first to drop in into the lock Of musin and to take away
everything that it remained from the father. Ugh you! But
these trunks earlier like not was... Strangely somehow...
After being equipped, we leave through Gnilovrazh'e for
The ikayushchiy forest. There, where not only our fate will be
solved.
O, your svyateyshestvo! How do you do, Mr. is prophet.
Now we kill you will be!
After killing false prophet and after taking from his corpse it
withered, we go deeply into cave. And there, at the end of the
corridor, we meet the culprit in all and entire there we find answers
to all or almost all our questions. And there we solve further
fate of civilization and entire planet. Whatever occurred -
these are our selection, our merit and our fault.
Curtain.
