Ah, sorry, when I hear pauldrons, I think of Space Marines, and ridiculous stuff like this.
I suppose these do count as pauldrons, but the sheer size of pauldrons in 40K totally overwhelms the smaller pauldron sizes.

Also, cant of kind update map right now, hope, that everything is possible to understand out of written text

Huddle down and avoid the commisars gaze, just notch an arrow and be ready incase they are bad guys.

That was suppose to be IC, I just forgot the quotation marks. Sorry.

[helmacon]

Proceed to ponder theoretical physics some more. Drop multiple things at the same time to see if they fall at the same rate. Reload my crossbow if I get a spare moment.

[Kot]

Get into the trench. Try to not die in the process.

Well, guess they're friendly. Don't do anything and let them approach.

GM notes

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

My name is immaterial, you did not topple statues in temples of gods, blow up mirror shops or yell profanities at gods of luck? If your dice will continue in such manner you might aswell approach statistical miracle ammount of 1 rolls.

Do you want to see hostile characters/ accidents target selection dice rolls? Or you are ok with this thing being hidden rolls, like random encounters and findings?

[Kot]

Arthur drops two crossbow bolts, and they fall down with the same speed, however, when he concentrates on the fallen bolts they rise up in the air for a few moments (dropping things roll 6 )

((I belive things rising up in the air is actually pretty significant fail for a dropping things roll. ))

Hide in the trench and attempt to reload the pistol. Continue noticing the shiny thing.
