Three is not really worth it; I'll try to avoid plot spoilers as I explain my opinion. The tutorial lasts half the game, Connor is a fairly boring protagonist, the 'Revolutionary War' is incredibly disjointed and at no point do you feel involved in it despite being at a few battles (which I guess are supposed to be big deals, but they just feel like they were thrown in with no importance or drama to what's going on; it's just 'oh hai Connor fire these cannons while we retreat OK?'), and there aren't enough Desmond segments. Seriously. What was the point of AC2 (and by extension Brotherhood and Revelations) and getting trained by Ezio if Desmond only does like three Assassin-y things in the modern world? His segments were all pretty cool though and his and Haytham's sections are the only parts of the game that are good. Well, the naval stuff is OK I guess. It's probably better in Black Flag, but I haven't played it; I'll probably wait for an edition that offers the DLC with the disc first.
TL;DR: Connor sucks and drags it down, the game should have either been all modern-world stuff with Desmond or had Haytham as the controlled ancestor. Although for what it's worth, Revelations was probably my favorite game of the series so far followed by AC2, then Brotherhood, then 3, then 1. >.> Altair is a better character than Connor but the controls for AC1 just aren't as fun as later installments...
Anyway, turn time.
TURN 18
Yoink & GL: Gamerlord attempts to give Yoink a gun. This roll is for whether or not he has one, then if so, how good a quality it is. (5, 2) GL hands Yoink a slingshot and a bag of ball bearings. "WHAT'S GOING ON YOU SAY?! THE DAY OF RECKONING HAS COME, DON'T YA KNOW! THERE'S NO MORE ROOM IN HELL AND THE DEAD ARE WALKING THE EARTH JUST LIKE ROMERO SAID! NOW START PUTTING THOSE BASTARDS BACK IN THE GROUND!" GL roars in Yoink's face, holding him by his lapels and shaking him. The girl seems to be looking for possible escape locations as this is going on.
Persus decides to play the pity card. (2) He does this by showing the clerk the stump of his arm. She faints dead away. You won't be getting any help from her until she comes around. Then again, now there's nothing between you and taking the medical supplies but a security camera, and who gives a damn about those?
Derm & Lenglon decide to gather up their fellows. (2, 2 = 4 / 2 =2.) "After you. No, after you." Both are waiting for the other one to take the lead. "No, I insist. Ladies first." This could take awhile.
STATUS
Yoink is being manhandled - multiple broken bones, compound fracture breaking skin in right forearm - bleeding again, wrapped in toilet paper, well dressed, has some weird damn portmanteau of the Resident Evil 1 and Eternal Darkness status screens, has a slingshot he probably can't use due to broken arm
Persus is going :\ at his stump - Left arm from elbow down eaten by zombies
GL is trying to get the concept of zombies through Yoink's skull - Has a DBSO shotgun and ammo to spare, as well as a sidekick with a .38 special
Derm is being polite - Can use song titles to try and do things, sounds like Vincent Price
Lenglon is trying to one-up Derm's politeness - Can create and control fire, bruises along shoulders
