That's a good question. I'm going to say a group within hearing distance (So not that far in the din of battle), but I reserve the right to change it if it turns out to be too OP.

[IcyTea31]

Start performing, but stay on the safe side of the barricade. Look around if there's anything around to use as a backup weapon. Also, apparently I don't need a roll to perform? At least there are no rolls posted in my part of the update.

[Sheb]

Nope you don't.

[Dutchling]

Curses! No rocks for me to throw...
Move towards the LARGE BARRICADE and see if there's SOMETHING TO THROW AT PEOPLE there.

[Sheb]

Decided to create some rules concerning actions: you can now perform 2 minor and one major action per turn. Minor actions are stuff like moving, consuming an item, grabbing something... Major actions are most of the thing needing a roll, like buiilding, fighting, crafting, delivering a speech... The Bard's support song is a major action.

If you're not sure, just ask.

[Dutchling]

So basically what I just did

[darkpaladin109]

Start crafting C4.

[Sheb]

Turn 3:
Everybody fight! Over there...

Can build siege weapons

[4] : You grab one of the protesters nearby and teach him ho to use your ballista. He seems unsure about using such a lethal weapon against conscripts that didn't choose to be there, but he should be able to operate it if needed. You then proceed to look for an alchemist, but the only one you find is desperately looking for nitric acid.

Inventory: Warm Clothes, 5L Jerrycan of Gasoline (0.5L left), 18-pack of Molotov cocktails (18 left)
Power: Can craft simple explosives and chemicals
Can craft alcohol

You try to manufacture C4, but it seems you're lacking several major ingredient such as... Well all of them really. To make it, you'll need an explosive (Nitric acid and formaldehyde and ammonia will let you craft RDX) and some plastic to plasticize your explosive. However, for some reasons you cannot fathom, the protest grounds seems to be lacking in these very important chemicals.

Power: Can sing support song to give a +1 bonus to anyone (Cannot buff yourself)

You start singing in support of your side, while looking for some useful weapon. [2] Oleyskiy did some great job crafting this barricade, and didn't leave a single 2*4 or stick unused. No weapons for you.

             +1 to hitting things
             +1 to throwing things

[6] You rush toward the sound of the incoming conscripts, and you suddenly realized why you didn't find any cobblestones earlier: someone had carefully stripped them off the ground and made them into a large pile near the barricade, ready for the throwing!


Battle!
50 conscripts charge against 50 protesters. [4] vs [4+1+1] (Small Victory) Protester manage to hold the conscripts at bay, ~5 of them are hurt, the rest regroup for another charge.


New rules: For fight between group the difference between the rolls decide wheter it's a small (1-2), medium (3-4), large (5-6) or absolute (6+) victory. Still not sure about the singing giving a flat +1 to everything, might be too powerful.

[IcyTea31]

Grab a cobblestone for a weapon, perform support song unless the former is a major action. If you think a protestor bard is too powerful, give the army their own music troop to boost them. That's what the developers would do if this was an actual RTS.

[Sheb]

I'm not thinking of balance between players and police (conscripts really are about the weakest enemies you'll see anyway), but balance between players: if everybody fight your contribution to outstrip all the others.

[LordSlowpoke]

CONSTRUCT QUALITY ALCHEMICAL TOOLS FOR CREATION OF ACIDS AND OTHER SHENANIGANS, FIND THINGS USABLE FOR QUALITY ENGINEERING

[Sheb]

Just to make sure, you're asking darkpaladin, right?

[LordSlowpoke]

There are other alchemists?

[Dutchling]

Send the large pile of rocks in SMALL AIRBORNE DIVISIONS towards the conscripts or conscript-equivalents

[Sheb]

There are other alchemists?

No. But asking him is something you do between yourself, and he seems more interested in C4 than in anything else.
