Right, as soon as those two reserves have a character sheet up I can get the first turn up.
And yes, Sinpwn, you do have an unfortunate starting position.

Okay. Let's rock. First turn should be coming up soon, inevitably a shopping turn (for most).

Turn 1: Clichéd Shopping Turn

1. London- Tersr

You shiver in the fading light, as you wait for your client to come. You had agreed with an accomplice of the revolution to meet outside the north gate to arrange weaponry, but the bugger hasn't turned up. Cam you be bothered to keep waiting?

2. Oxford- micelus

Lying in your huge bed, reading a copy of "The Communist Manifesto", you consider your next move. One of the much talked about decisions at the meeting was whether to use direct force, or more subtle means. You wonder which to use now...
Coming to a decision you leap off of the bed and place the book on your desk. Walking out the door, you know of three weapon shops in London; two very well known and who would recognise a man of high status such as yourself, and one more shady establishment in an alley. Which do you visit?



3. Manchester- Ultimah

Weapons. Equipment. Food. These are the things you know are vital to your success in your missions, and you know of many places to get them. Do you wish to go for more legal businesses, or the less respected shops?

4. Cardiff- Riccto

Hmm. You think. How could an urchin like you obtain the sort of equipment a revolutionary needs? Stealing? Lying? Since you have no money, buying is not an option.

 
Spoiler: Conrad (click to show/hide)

5. Dublin- Sinpwn

"Me an' Fred 'ere woz finkin', right, and we fought you 'ad chea'ed us. So. Give us back our money or els'. Um." The larger of the two men you have just cheated out of 3 guieneas starts to advance towards you. Do you face the two ruffians?

Spoiler: Conchobhair (click to show/hide)

6. Edinburgh- lawastooshort

The museum. You are fortunate enough that your university has a museum, featuring all weapons up to the modern day. The only catch is the sense of responsibility you feel towards the university, and the security within. Or, you could go out and attempt to purchase equipment. What do you do?

Prowl the streets looking for a Gunsmith shop that I can watch, look for any major openings in security while begging near it

Less respected means cheaper, and five finger discounts are usually easier as well.

Find a blunt object by the gate, a pipe would be nice, and wait some more.

Shooting something made of a semi hard metal with no organs is a fucking stupid idea anyway.

I shall go out and attempt to purchase two fine dueling pistols and a rapier, such as a gentleman might have.

And I shall keep the museum at the back of my mind for future reference..

Convince them that they were the ones who tried to steal from me. Allow them to go without reprimand in exchange for a favor at a later date.

Alright, next turn should be  up by morning, cuz I need my beauty sleep.

Turn 2: Still shopping...

1. London- Tersr

(1) You cannot find anything that would be useful as a weapon and so, continue to wait in the dark. 
(1) It's really not your night. Not only does this man not arrive, but a passing thug sees you as the ideal target. You are knocked unconscious and, when you wake up, realise half of your money is gone.

 
Spoiler: Aaron (click to show/hide)

2. Oxford- micelus

Leaving your house, you walk to "Moonfolk & Sons Gunsmith" (3). No-one recognises you, and yet the prices are not cheap. You have 10 guineas:
Pistol: 5 guineas
Rapier: 4 guineas
Dagger: 2 guineas
Musket: 10 guineas

You leave the store, sure that you can get better prices elsewhere. Slipping down backstreets and alleys, you come to what looks like an apothecary, (5) but you know it to be a gunsmith. The prices are much cheaper here:
Rapier: 3 guineas
Pisol: 4 guineas
Dagger: 1 guinea
Musket: 8 guineas
Hand mortar: 10 guineas



3. Manchester- Ultimah

Walking through the less reputable streets, you come across a dusty and run down shop. You enter, (2) but everything is out of your price range, so you attempt to steal:
Shop owner: (3)
William: (5)
Difference: 2
The shop owner doesn't notice you slinking around, and you manage to steal two of the items below:
Dagger
Pistol
Short sword
Grenade

 
Spoiler: William Bucket (click to show/hide)

4. Cardiff- Riccto

You walk along the streets, nonchalantly glancing around for any shops that could suit your needs. (2) You find only one that has very high security, but it's the only one around the streets you know. Looking for any gap in it's security, (1) you see absolutely none, and the doorman shoos you from the area after only making (2+1 due to begging expertise) 3 guineas.

 
Spoiler: Conrad (click to show/hide)

5. Dublin- Sinpwn

You use all the techniques and tricks you've learnt to make the two thugs believe your story, (1+2) but only manage ti persuade them to not hurt you. They leave, grumbling to themselves. Walking out onto the streets, you clear your mind, and go towards a gunsmith. (6) The prices there are amazing, almost too good to be true.
Dagger- Free with every purchase!
Pistol- 3 guineas
Rapier- 4 guineas
Musket- 7 guineas
Musket+Bayonet- 8 guineas

Spoiler: Conchobhair (click to show/hide)

6. Edinburgh- lawastooshort

You leave the university grounds and go to buy the best friends a gentleman could have. (5) You manage to purchase two decent pistols and a rapier, for only half your money! Proudly parading the streets with your newly acquired weapons, you think about your next move.

Go and find somewhere flamboyant to eat a meal as expensive as I can justify/afford, and try to get involved in a discussion of poetry and politics, to increase my reputation as a dreamer and a dandy. Be so obviously revolutionary that no one could possibly take me seriously.

(If I only have the money I stole.)
Buy a pistol, keep an eye out for anything fishy.
(If I have more money.)
Buy a musket and a pistol, keep an eye out for anything fishy.
