At Steelwick armoryObtain the Dragunov from the Armory.
"Elegant. Brutal. Able to terminate a consciousness from 500 meters."
"Would it not be more in line with our combat role to choose the Kalashnikov? We would be able to project a shield and fire around it. Dealing damage while protecting the other mercenaries. The longer rifle may be harder to use at close range, where the 'tank' role presides. This is weapon is one of an assassin."
"You say that as if we have a well-defined combat role. I am designed as an assassin. This addition will cover for our weaknesses, cover more options. At close range we should be able to devise melee attacks using Adaptation, and we can use our grenades to take out high-priority targets such as strong enemies or clusters. However, should we find a need to take out a being from stealth or long range, the Dragunov presents a precise, powerful, and efficient option."
"You are suggesting that there is more value for us to pursue greater versatility in role than to improve effectivity within a single role? To be a 'jack of all trades', so to speak?"
"Precisely"
"Dragunov DMR acquired." [Boop

At Hall of literatureMona would continue her experimenting. She would try teleporting 2 meters above the ground and confirm how Negative Pull would soften her descent. If it worked well, she would try teleporting 3 meters high. She would continue teleporting gradually higher until she established how high she could go before this maneuver would start to endanger her well-being.
Mona kept testing how far her negative pull can parachute her. She kept landing safely 1 meter above the ground. She kept trying by teleporting higher. The wind current isn't safe for her to test this ability. She teleported above but the was swept by the strong gust of wind. She fell from 5meter height and almost land on a steel sharped gate. She however kept being repelled still from that surface. After being repelled away from the sharp gate, She then slides off to a safer surface. She kept being in constant 1 meter above the ground.
The townsfolk who seen her float and falling repeatedly began spreading rumors about a witch lady in purple who kept trying to off herself by teleporting above and trying to die from heights.
At Zic's Odds”I don’t have money right now. Is there anything I can do that would be worth the amount necessary to buy this creature?”
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
Chubby "Oh? It's free! Hehe If you want to purchase just that one. If you want other items you need to pay me with money or if you have king
foldmans coupon, you can get another item for free."

At Training groundsgo to the training grounds and practice stitching and treating wounds so that i can develop a new skill. Maybe some form of Triage after the explosive outcome of our last mission...
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
Joe "Sorry for ignoring you sir.... I was busy dealing with your winged ninja and other people visiting this place a bit... I don't think we have
any injured person here to practice your sewing skill. Maybe look up about a book for stitching wounds and stuff at the hall of literature?"
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
"I would hope so. Warriors ceasing to enter the training grounds suggests they've finally perished. Aim, speed, muscle strength, poses, there is so much to work on in so little time... I suppose for now I should see if I can get this little trick of mine to be practical."
Jonas takes out his hand cannon. He takes careful aim with his right arm, squeezing off a shot at the dummy. He takes his shiny new Glock in his left hand - mimicking the careful aim of the first. With these three 'takes' he is satisfied with the feel - with a gun in each hand, he alternatives fire between the two of them sending lead down towards his allotted dummy.
Practice two-handed firearm aim!
Jonas fire a barrage of gunshots towards dummy!
Dummy takes [-2-2-2HP from gunshots]

"Sir.. May you please not do that in front of the townsfolk... You're freaking everyone out... thank you..."

"Oh uh woops, sorry." Aethyrion lands on the ground. "I'm just feeling so full of energy, I think I'll do some training."
Aethyrion dashes toward a dummy and tries out some sword moves on it.
Aethyrion dives from above and use the momentum to strike the dummy in a diagonal line.
Dummy takes [-4HP from dive strike]
"Oh look. Speaking of not being dead, here you are. Did you have a heart attack on the battlefield or something?"
Jonas continues to train while having casual chatter over the gunshots.
"That wouldn't be good. You'd join the enemy side as one of those things."
"Oh, ahoy there friend!"
Aethyrion takes a moment from his training.
"You know it was the weirdest thing, I took a nap and met God. He wouldn't let me wake up for some reason, but I had a wonderful dream involving a huge bubblebath and some hot co-eds from my home realm. I also woke up with these weird coins, I'm thinking maybe I can buy a real bubblebath with them."
Aethyrion shows Jonas the coins.
"Here you can have one if you want, maybe you can get a bubblebath with it as well."
Aethyrion gives Jonas a sleep coin.
Jonas has a brief mental struggle over how to hold things when both hands are full of gun, before deciding that he will be forced to set one down in such occasions. He drops his pistol into his Pocket for long enough to grab the coin.
"Pennies from heaven eh? How generous, both of you and your God. Danke. I'll accept this token gratefully. I'm not sure from whom we are to make the payment in return for a bath. Should we just collect a tub and leave it in the open while praying? Or should we find a mortal merchant selling such goods? I will admit I am still unfamiliar with this land's coinage. I'm not even sure they use money here."
"Huh..."
Aethyrion ponders for a moment.
"Come to think of it I don't know either. Where I'm from they use a form of currency called celestial karma, but everyone just calls it cashmoney. I'm pretty new here too so I guess we'll have to find out. Maybe we can ask the king later where he got his bubblebath."
"Anyway, I've been feeling incredibly pumped ever since I woke up, time for some vigorous exercise."
Aethyrion flies back to the dummy and continues his swordplay, going all out with his overflowing energy.
Aethyrion slash the dummy
Dummy takes [-3HP from sword slash]
