Oops, I forgot to post Avada's Dice comment, though.

In general, despite the saturation of the chapter with events and active action moments, the events themselves went surprisingly smoothly, just like the dice. There was practically not a single significant crit or just failure, but there were quite clear successes. Not stunning, but very confident: the level of the hero, his skill set already allowed him to feel at ease and not be afraid of an unsuccessful throw at the expense of crazy bonuses.

Of the failures, we must consider the 11 on the hero's reaction to the successful borrowing of the dead man's imagery. The line between shamanism and necromancy is, in fact, the same interrogation of a corpse, only performed through a mediator in the form of a spirit. The hero's noticeably twisted, although, again, he quickly came to his senses and did not slip into enrage, only became even more convinced that this family should be buried. At the same time, it buried even those small shadows of hope for the MC to accept the Autogoddess quest and play with Ritze's brains.

The funny thing was that the vengeful spirit summoned into the dead man's body was conceived by me as a serious problem that would get out of control and spoil the hero's conspiracy and mood. But, all the same skill shaman and roughly coinciding desires made this spirit an almost perfect tool. Until the very end, the creature did not even try to move its fetters and in general, help began. The alliance was situational; with a long relationship, this cruel and vengeful - vengeful, not just - shit would surely try to break control and start killing everyone in Fantrel in general. Just for the fact that they're alive while the kid-corpse-mediator is brutally dead. But this is the perfect alliance in this situation.

Also, the hero, to put it mildly, overdid it with the coolness and demonstrative power of eliminating all those involved in the dark deeds of the Krellbs, but here the chances are really high that everyone will think about the patrons. And they themselves will scratch their head and decide that their protégé, with whom they really agreed, sold his services and loyalty to someone else, and this someone did not agree. And they will start thinking and guessing about who he sold his ass to, certainly not the undead lords of the far North, who may be much more active in the politics of the living than it seemed before. Let's check it out while all this big mess is going on, or who knows?

As for the reward options for the act: it's above average, but at the very minimum, however, Stepan didn't work up to the maximum, everything went smoothly, with no stress. And yes, the trick with the clock and time slowing down I thought up before the prologue was finished: here's a new facet of the power of meta-skills. But with the renewal of reserves, everything is sadder: with the planned development of MC it is not so useful to him, he sharpens himself into a puppeteer of the whole army-detachment.

Actually, the skill for twenty he chose exactly in this direction, turning himself into a kind of server, directing a cloud of all sorts of evil and not so evil shit. Quite a worthy tactic, although not very pathos-heroic, as it would be to plant in himself a stronger spirit and personally go into combat. But so Stepan is not a boy of any pathos, practical and utilitarian to the point of boredom. Another thing is that the will of fate may be against his having everything boring and practical because it is possible to foresee everything, and so, hop and Evil Singha.

Well, we can't forget about Stepan's last dream. Was it a vision of the future or one of its variants? An echo of real events or just unfulfilled plans? The answer is unclear, but it is similar to what I already raised in the comment about GG's dreams: shamans are often able to see the shadows of the future, but it is difficult to identify them, it is difficult to understand where is a dream, where is a premonition, and where is a delusion. Except that MC had 49 (forty-nine, motherfucker!!!) on understanding the nature of the dream, almost reaching, and 2 (twice as many as one) on interpreting and remembering details. How would he not want to go to a massage parlor now, with that near failure, instead of staying away from it?

Maybe it will be hentai, because I've already planned a few dozens of scenes, which can be imagined. The other thing is that such preparations may not work, or may work wrong, or may work in the wrong place. You know, that moment when you write a five-page hentai omake and the result is this.

Best wishes to everyone, to Brinar muses and my usual thanks for his magnificent world, to all the female readers (if there are any, because there are no female readers on the internet) my sincere congratulations on March 8th, to all the readers my sincere empathy on March 8th, don't be sad.
