Welll, I have no idea how to do all that. I'm completely ignorant to most of internet stuff 😏

Oh no! Your lute! It survived orcs! But not a day in the Zone... Maybe if you feed it? It will be a good pet?

Man Bard, sure sorry your lute is so fucked-up. Look, I've decided I'm making a trip to Zalissya. I hear I can stock up on ammo at Hamster's and get a non radioactive drink at Warlock's. You wanna come along? You and Amalia as well SG, what say you? --- @panos
