You have 16 Days Until Your Place of Business is Shut Down

oh ok, coolio!
> let's go and turn those requests in, and check what else we can do!

Turn in all the requests then shout "GIMME REWARDS" in every instance

You head back to the castle to turn in your work on the requests, and see about maybe getting some new ones. Stahl's expression seems as neutral-sour as ever, but you get the slightest vibe of approval from him while he hears your report on the wolves and accepts the items (-5 Wood Chips, -1 Healing Paste, +1550 Cole).

"Here are the requests available for you today." Stahl adjusts his glasses. "Don't forget about your assignment; it doesn't seem like you've turned anything in for that yet."

1. Bring 1 Ingot by 1/30 - 300 Cole
   
2. Slay Alpha Wolf by 2/5 - 1000 Cole
   
3. Bring 2 Potato Soup by 1/28 - 400 Cole
   
4. (From Hazel Tethel) Bring Milk Chocolate x 3 by 1/27 - 750 Cole
   
5. Bring 3 Polish Powder by 1/20 - 400 Cole

In what feels to you like a stroke of bad luck, all of these require you to either spend time making something or..kill that giant wolf you saw the other day, which doesn't seem likely at your current level of strength. Still, some of them might be worthwhile. Even if not, you should have enough now to buy some needed materials instead of having to go out looking for them.

Spoiler

• Zero Motivation (passive): Eh. Miranda has less energy states than normal (Exhausted, Okay, Fine). It costs energy to perform regular move and attack actions in battle. Active skills require a large percentage of her maximum energy.
  
• Chill (passive): Whatever, it's fine. Miranda regains a small amount of energy anytime she isn't doing anything, regardless of if it's out of town or even in the middle of a battle.
  
• Spin Slash: Gotta respect the classics. Slashes everything in the 8 tiles surrounding Miranda for physical damage.
  
• Lazy Combo: Way too much effort. Performs six normal attacks in a row (which can have distinct targets), and then lacks the motivation to do anything at all for the next two turns (Chill is disabled during these turns).
  
• Slack Off (3/3): Miranda's favorite activity. Doesn't accomplish anything immediate, but restores a moderate amount of energy instead of spending it. Has a 2-turn cooldown and only works 3 times per battle.

Fee: 500 Cole

Dual Techs:

SpoilerSarah & Dave:
Ether Hatchet (Hatchet Throw + Ether Light): Do the thing! Targets any enemy on a straight line from Dave which he could hit with Hatchet Throw. Deals physical damage to the target and then magical damage to anything in the 3x3 square centered on the target.

SpoilerBleeeh. This had no business taking this long, but I'm in the middle of slowly crawling my way out of a massive creative slump.

At some point, the "days left counter" in the title got off by a day or two; I'm pretty sure I've fixed it now.
