[Comrade P.]

You interrupt their duel, targeting the man:
[4 +2 for backstab +1] You touch the man's shoulder before he strikes dwarf another time, and give him a nice punch to the face as he turns to you in surprise. You drop him down instantly - he is out for a while.
The dwarf looks surprised but greteful.
 - Ehh, thanks, fellah...

[darkpaladin109]

No problem. Good thing I came here in time. Now, what was this all about?

[Caerwyn]

Firstly; where did you come from? Secondly, why did you leave? Thirdly, these places can be very dangerous; - Why would you travel with your family like that, and with such shoddy weaponry? Finally, do you value your life?

[Comrade P.]

The dwarf's face becomes grim.
 - None of your buisness. Thank you for salvation. Please go.
He throws you a Golden Hammer.

 - Hold it, boy. Too much for an old man at once. I came from Nottinshire, through the elven realm and ended up here. I made that way because the whole halfling realm was annexed to Men's Empire, and I was escaping it's rule all my life. I have reasons to do so, believe me. We are refugees, that is why me and my family are travelling this way - it is forsaken. At least, we thought so. The musket is the only thing I could afford to get us food by hunting and provide lousy defence. Because I value my own life less than my family's

[Patrick Hunt]

(( What about me? ))

[darkpaladin109]

Sorry for asking, then. Good luck. Do you know the way to the marker square?
Ask the dwarf for directions to the market square, then leave.

[Comrade P.]

((Whoops, sorry about that))
Doc catchhes the coin.
 - That will be spent on medical supplies, be sure.

Leader answers your words
 - Actually, we were planning some kind of purgation, but your appearance forced the action. So go on, brave kid. A lot will follow you.
He smokes a cigarette.
 - But I think we do not have any armor or weaponry you request here. There were no weapon-producting facilities in town before the occupation, and we mostly use weaponry of men. So get us everything you're able to and keep what you think is suitable for your objectives.

Now you head to the town with the newbies. For conspiration matters, you do not reveal your names to each other.
Patrol evading [5 -1 for darkness vs 6 +1 for sneaking skills] You successfully avoid all the night patrols
Two dozens of centries. Here are your rolls - they have +2 modifier because there was four of you to make sure the bastard is dead. 5 or more - and he falls down so you can loot him, less than five - and he falls to the rooftop, out of your greedy handses.
5 x [1+2]
7 x [2+2]
2 x [3+2]
2 x [4+2]
4 x [5+2]
4 x [6+2]
Your total loot:
12 rifles: 3 bolt-actioned, 9 lever-actioned, plently of ammo.
12 sidearms: 1 semi-automatic pistol, 4 double-action revolvers, 7 single-action revolvers, plently of ammo
[2d6 roll for medkits] 12! Wow!
[d100 roll for money] 68 singuluses in total.
12 bayonets - a bit heavy for your hand, but since that is the only option available, it'll do nicely as a long knife you asked for.

You hide the fallen bodies and loot them after you finished your grim buisness, then take the loot back to doctor. There it is closed, but a raw scheme of town with a fat red mark is at the doorstep. One of newbies grabs the list. He knows that place. You head there - it is a sealed mine inside the town. You go down and down, and finally end up in a big cave someone worked hard to make a rebel HQ right under the enemy's nose.
You stack the guns in one of the side tunnels next to the existing ones. Then proceed to report.

Spoiler: darkpaladin109 (click to show/hide)

He explains the way briefly and you go. No idea what is going to happen next.
You finally on your way to Market Square. Now you go through the Gunsmiths Street. Its showcases displaying any sort of weaponry you're able to imagine. Sings are more tempting than a dozen of sirens:
Come in all sorts of noble officers and skilled soldiers![/color]
Best weaponry ever produced by Dwarves!
Don't you leave your home without one of these!
This week only - 5% OFF for mercenaries!
Do you pay attention?

Off for now 10-11 hours or so.

[darkpaladin109]

I'l ignore it for now. I'd rather find some sort of armor shop since my leather armor won't get me very far against stronger opponents.

[Caerwyn]

Confer with Alexander on what should be done. His opinion can decide the mans, and his families, fate.

[Comrade P.]

Spoiler: darkpaladin109 (click to show/hide)

Actually, there is one in this street. Not like it is some kind of "the best in town", but it's assortment looks quite rich and the prices look pretty. Wanna go in?

Spoiler: Caerwyn (click to show/hide)

You and Alexander come aside to have a conversation.
 - As far as I understood from his confession, his only crime is draft-dodging. By the terms of martial law we punished those by non-lethal methods. Now, during the peacetime, we should... (sigh) let him go. Let this miserable creature that names himself a man live the rest of his life. Untie him.

[Patrick Hunt]

Hand over all the kit I took and dump the heads with the ones I took previously then go and speak to the other rebel fighters.

" Well thats 17 dead humans soldiers in less then 24 hours without any losses of our own, not a bad start if I do say so myself.

Anybody else feel like joining us in teaching the humans to fear the darkness? I'm sure most of you have your old bows hidden away somewhere from before the humans turned up but if not I've taken plenty of rifles to arm you all and I'm sure I can make it work."

Ask the rebel leader if he has a map of the town and can mark out all the patrol routes and military buildings on it. Especially the main barracks.

" Theres more weapons and ammo sitting in your armory and the humans are going to wake up to find 12 more dead soldiers and not a single witness to the crime, gimme a few days and I'll have the scum convinced the dead themselves have come for them. "

(( How many humans in a regiment? So I can keep track of how many humans roughly are left in town. ))

[Comrade P.]

First note - you took down all the 24 centries you met. That was the whole point of going in a party of four. One of four arrows always reaches the target.
Plus 5 massacred, plus one executed for treason, that is thirty frags. Maths.

Second note - regiment is 3.000 footmen. Lots of work to be done.

The heads of dead are fearsome attribute, but their stench is going to make your presence in the cave unbearable.

You get the map, and mark known routes of patrols. It's not like there were too much military buldings, though - one to be precise. HQ. It is like an autonomic citadel in the center of town. Why the hell do they do so? Still, there are supply convoys that provide them with food and water. And here is the place where you do not noticed thing and the Resistance showed that it did some work without you. You get their routes and timetables on another map and copy it to yours.
Four more elves are about to join you.
It should be almost early morning outside there now.

[Patrick Hunt]

(( Ahh so the sentries worked in pairs, I thought they were alone.

Is the citadel made of wood? Given the locations it would seem logical to use wood to build it rather then dragging stone hundreds of miles. ))

Drain and bottle all the blood from the heads first as well as taking little scraps of flesh. Put it all into a bottle and leave it in a hot place in the hideout.

Ask when the next supply convoy will arrive and what route it takes.

(( Hmm so thats me plus 1 companion and 7 new soldiers fit to fight and 2 wounded who'll be out for a couple days. I can make that work. ))

[Comrade P.]

Third note - originally, I mentioned two dozens of centries scattered all over the town. 1 dozen is 12 men. 2 dozens - 24 men.

Fourth note - citadel is made of rock and reinforced with metal carcass. It seems that they really need to defend this position at all costs. You have no idea why. I do know why. But I won't tell that so easy.

Fifth note - Stop right there, criminal scum! Do you really think that one just goes wherever he wants with a bunch of armed rebels and a couple of chopped heads on pikes on the break of day, or I got you wrong?

[Patrick Hunt]

(( The idea was to go before daybreak since it should still be dark at the moment and the sentries are all dead so moving around should be simple enough. Unless it's lighter then I thought I was treating it as winter so it'd be dark longer

But I'll edit that bit out it can wait. ))
