Not for right now of course, but I seem to have forgotten: Can we use our first aid pouch without needing first aid skill?

I believe you can do anything without the skill. Just on a 1d6, the skill makes a 'success' [5] at lesser degrees too. Like a +1, making a roll of 4, become a success--which is like pushing the range of interpretation downwards too. Like a +3, and you roll a [2], you just fail in a way that a seasoned fellow does: Not Catastrophically.

Also I hope we're all under that second mission \o/ thinking through would be great

[Egan_BW]

Hold on, I might as well make a pilot character now.

TWO WEEKS LATER ON THE USS YELLOW JACKET

A crowd of soldiers are sitting around in a dark room somewhere in the aircraft carrier's guts. They're on rows of steel folding chairs, staring at a wall lit by the blank white square of a slide machine with no slide in it. As they sit, talking among themselves, Brigadier General Bone steps out of the shadows and into the light. Everyone quiets down.

Welcome back. Good to see so many familiar faces, even if we are short a limb or two and have a bit more scar tissue to share. I'm here because the powers that be have discovered something rather interesting. So, of course, they would like us in the 888th to stick our rat noses into it and see what crawls up a nostril.  That interesting thing is an order from one Alfred Rosenberg to Nazi forces in Poland. Some of you may remember this particular Kraut as a Nazi ambassador of sorts; he came to the UK sometime in '33 and tried to convince us all to join up in the goosestep. He made a stir back then, tomb of the unknown soldier incident and all, but he's gone up in the world considerably since he last darkened our collective doorstep.  He's now minister of all occupied territories in the east and even said to be the "racial theorist" of the party.

Now, Rozenberg's orders are quite simple; he wants German forces in Poland to start kidnapping children. Specifically children between the ages of 10 and 14. According to the orders, they will be transported to Germany to act as slave labor, but something about this rings hollow. What sort of hard labor can be extracted from prepubescent children, Hm? And who in their right mind would think it worth the effort? It is an atrocity without reason as it stands; and atrocities, senseless as they may be, always have a reason. Cruel, stupid or illogical, yes, but there is always a reason.  And we are the ones who are going to go find that reason; find the real explanation behind these orders for mass kidnapping.

Now, 'fore I go any further, do we have any good pilots around here? No wanna-bes or farmers who flew their daddy's crop duster. I need a real pilot, even if I gotta hire one.

[syvarris]

First, do we level up?

Second, before we leave, can I have someone attach a scope to my Gewehr?  Preferably an NPC who won't screw up.  I'm willing to trade my other german guns, or maybe some of my other equipment.  Edit: Egan said he's willing to put a scope on my Gewehr in return for my mauser, but pointed out that I don't have a spare scope.  Is that something I can requisition, or obtain by trading in my MG 15?

((That offer goes for any PCs with a relevant skill too, though I'm not paying if you break my gun.))

"I'm no pilot, but count me into the next mission. So are we gonna save the children, figure out the reason for the kidnappings, or kill Rosenberg? Or all the above?"

Bob signs up for the mission, and asks some folks on the Yellow Jacket if they can identify his medals and medallions, or at least read the German written on them.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Robert McKinley
Description: McKinley was about ten years old when WWI ended, and his brother returned with innumerable stories of gore and glory. Robert desired to fight for his country in the same way. There was, however, no immediate war in which he could partake. He considered himself to be one of the few to hate the Roaring Twenties. They were a time when the people wallowed in extravagance and purposely forgot the horrors, but also the sacrifices and heroism of the great war. And then came the depression. He found himself liking the depression, though of course, he didn't admit that. Mainly because it seemed like fitting retribution for the excess of the previous years. it might have also had to do with the fact that he managed to retain his job and keep up a standard of living. In any case, 1939 was a year almost of rejoicing, and after he had settled his affairs, he signed up for the battle which he had lusted for.
He's a tall, blondish man who fancies himself to have a certain rakish look. His eyes are deep set under a heavy brow, but full of disturbing light. Call him Bob.

((wait..so can i play becuse i made my sheet or does the GM have to approve it?))

Ask the quartermaster for additional shotgun shells.
If I can level up, get better at stealth and accept the mission.

EDIT: Health and ammo replenished, but I'll still annoy the quartermaster by asking him for more shells (but not too many).

[Tiruin]

Ask for 15-20 shotgun shells from the quartermaster, and also ask for medical help, if I'm not healed yet.
If I can level up, get better at stealth and accept the mission.

I do deeply believe that either you missed the idea that we're all stocked up and healed, or that you're not allowed to bleed and be wounded on an aircraft carrier, in front of the Brigadier General.

So yep! We're all reloaded fully, and all we need is to confirm sign-in...as far as I assume anyway.

That, and Egan_BW made a very creative move; the Brigadier General hired on one of the Aircraft Carrier crew :3
