If you do something, bold it.
Besides, I don't see any action there, only discussion.

Okay, then...

Go petition whoever leads this place for some equipment for an expedition of science.

If that fails, being the negotiating.

I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.

"Bah! Those "punks", dealing with "the police", what a bunch of "a-holes"."

Head down to Johann to see if he has any spare alcohol.

(1) You start forward with determination and certainty. You carry this determination with you right into the gaping crater that opens under your feet. You fall into a pit. The sounds of combat above dim, along with the light from the suns. In the quiet below, you hear some other noises instead.

"I need more alcohol for my alcohol bombs!"

Go to the nearest house and knock the door, then ask for some spare alcohol.

Much less active than I used to be on these forums, but I still visit them on occasion. Will probably resume my activity in full once Dwarf Fortress will be released on Steam.

Mini-update? Mini-update.

:(

Okay, then...

Well then. You head, without anyone else, to the mayor's office. We'll say that you brought along a decent knife for negotiation, and managed to conceal it passably.
The receptionist is a young man, no older than 19. He doesn't speak as you enter, only looking at you with dead eyes, waiting for you to make the first move. There are also two city guards standing between you and the office itself, and they have guns.
How are you going to handle this?

Follow those weirdos.

[we rushing in, or going sneaky-beaky like?=6]
You follow the group stealthily, you never know with these types, how they'd react...
You feel a sudden urge to purchase and wear a badass duster, as you look badass following those guys. Nobody sees you, but if they did they would be very impressed. Peeking around the corner, you see the group approach the gate and the city guard.

"Bah! Those "punks", dealing with "the police", what a bunch of "a-holes"."

Head down to Johann to see if he has any spare alcohol.

You go back to the pub to look for Johann. He's not inside, but someone points you to where he went, just across the street.

I said, weird stuff. Needs fighting. Got any weapons I can borrow?
Hector petitions the old man for supplies.

"Fighting... weird stuff? That's the Guard's job, son."

"I need more alcohol for my alcohol bombs!"

Go to the nearest house and knock the door, then ask for some spare alcohol.

To clarify, you do have some booze already. Check the second post in this thread, I added an inventory to your character sheet.
Anyway, the nearest house to the pub is still the one that Hector is at, so do you want to get in line to talk to and old man, or choose the next house?

I'm aware of the second post, thanks. Johann just wants more.

"Hmm, maybe this old man has some alcohol..."

Get in line to talk to the old man.

Note: BTW, Johann's thoughts will be displayed in bold green, while his actual speech will be displayed with just green from now on.

Also, I added bold text to my previous post, so It was what Johann was thinking. Don't worry, I changed only one post, I'll not do that anymore.

Yes. I'm... part of the guard. Secret division, undercover; can't be seen with other guards, can't go to armory. Just, don't you have anything?
Hector assumes an aggressive stance, meant to intimidate.

"That the kind of question you want answered? Or you ask it to pass the time?" Perkus snaps at the the woman guarding the dump as he rudely shoves past her. In truth, Perkus usually moves past people in an unpolite way, but unlike other times, this was intentional.

Find the thing in the Dump that raises the most questions for me. Something weird.

"I could drop your face here!"

Minor threats, nothing particularly new from me. Loot the pile for something... wearable.

It's hard for me to differentiate bold green from unbold green at a glance. You can just put thoughts in green without quotation marks.
