examine what the cause of the commotion was.

>>17194272

The men in the so-called pub seem to be engaged in the typical rounds of drunken splendor, no doubt trying to drink away the horrible world they dwell in, even if for a few moments. Fellow soldiers have their arms around eachother's shoulders, singing songs of their homelands or ballads of honor won on ancient battlefields.

>Shameless bump? This was going somewhere yesterday.

Try to cheer up these miserable wankers with a rousing song.

We need a kettle drum, a soprano, and some bagpipes.

>>17194615
You have my bump.

Take the time to clean your boots and socks - clean feet are important

>I guess I should mention the dice system: roll 1d20, highest result most likely for next action (also effects severity) at my discretion.

>>17194631

You attempt to join in on the merriment, trying to incite your fellow comrades into the tune of the First Armored Charge. However, you find them to be too piss drunk or wrapped up in their own horrible singing to get much of a reply.

A man with a satchel at his hip and a large, swirly beard approaches the counter.

peer at the newcomer! He could be a spai!

rolled 6 = 6

>>17194783
aww fail.

rolled 20 = 20

>>17194743

let's meet the man with the satchel

rolled 9 = 9

>>17194855
or at the very least try to figure him out

>>17194855
ye gods.
>you become the man with the satchel, your minds as one.

>>17194855

From across the dirty floor you instantly recognize the man. He is dressed in thick, dirty battledress and sports a modified trooper's helmet, complete with forward mounted electric light and unit insignia. At his hip swings a folded, oddly sharp pick-shovel. A leather satchel hangs tightly from the other.

It's your good buddy from the Alliance Corp of Engineers - McGregor!

He hasn't noticed you yet, but you start approaching.

rolled 3 = 3

>>17194952

"McGregor! What's going on buddy?! Bartender, serve me and my buddies here a glass of the best you got."

can we use our rolls to help out other posters?

>>17195017

You approach the short, stalky man and give him a pat on the back.

"McGregor! What's going on buddy?! Bartender, serve me and my buddies here a glass of the best you got."

"Oi! I see the lot of you have been readjusting nicely to the front. Why, I've been toiling down in the-" a hushed look strikes his face, "err, I suppose you boys aren't supposed to know about those yet. Come! Let us wash the mud away with this booze."

The bartender serves you four glasses of cheap, unappealing liquor brewed in makeshift stills here in the first line. Such drink is common in the first, as the high brass tend not to stray this close to the real danger.

>>17195115

>You can role for the same/similar actions, I suppose.

>>17195171
"well any rumors cropping up recently at yer posting?"

>>17195171

Going to try to drink the whole thing in a single shot, like a boss.
"So, know anything about the little airship that paid us a visit earlier? Or have you been busy looking at mud and making holes?"

Then lowering the tone of voice and asking:
"And what's the thing we aren't supposed to know, eh? Come on, you can trust us."

rolled 11 = 11

>>17195261
Forgot my roll.

rolled 17 = 17

>>17195268
i'll roll as well, and i think OP should combine our posts

>>17195291
i mean combine

>>17195261
and
>>17195237

>>17195261

You grab the shot and down it in one fell swoop. It hits you like a flying pig, but you manage to stay upright. You turn to McGregor.

"So, know anything about the little airship that paid us a visit earlier? Or have you been busy looking at mud and making holes?"

"Airship? Haven't a clue, lad. Suppose I did hear a buzzing noise down in the-" He clasps his mouth once again. "I really need to watch meself..." he whispers under his breath.

"Down in the what? C'mon." You prod him with your elbow.

"As if I could tell you! Why, you might be a spy for the dirty easterners!" he jokingly replies.

"I'll tell you this: you'll know when you see it. What do you say we step outside?"

The four of you wander out of the dugout bar. The area is still mostly the same as it was when you entered, although the NCO has vanished. The two young privates he was disciplining sit against the trench wall. The machine gun nest is still directly ahead of you.

rolled 13 = 13

"So What do i see McGregor?"
while walking towards the Machinegun Nest

rolled 17 = 17

>>17195459
Rolling for this.

>>17195459

"My boy, that's for another time! I was just suggesting we get some fresh air. I spend the better part of my time surrounded by dirt and mud, I would enjoy a little more time in somewhat less dirt and mud."

A group of soldiers shuffle by, heading south. They're all wearing iron chestplates and brandishing pistols.

The sky grows darker.

rolled 19 = 19

>>17195586

"I wonder where that lot are heading... Anyone feeling curious enough?"

rolled 17 = 17

>>17195586
"Oh i see, sorry for the confusion chap, i blame the weather..."
See the soldiers
"Say, anyone knows where that gents were going?

>>17195647

Hamsfield steps to your side.

"They've got daggers, It's probably a raiding party on their way to standby."

Being an excellent marksman himself, Hamsfield has both supported and accompanied numerous raids across no-man's-land.

Some say his tooth-and-nail encounters with the enemy have him jumping at the shadows to this day.

>My apologies, fellow fa/tg/uys. I know this has hardly gone anywhere, but i'm going to need to cut it short. Hardly had any sort of a break today. I'll start another session tomorrow, I promise it will be much longer and action-packed(!). Real life just kind of sneaks up on you.

>I'll start the archival process, but PLEASE post suggestions for what you would like to see, what can be improved, or adoring fan-letters proclaiming my right to your first born children.

rolled 4 = 4

>>17195785

"Oh... May they be lucky enough to make it back, then."

>>17195888
An Objective would be good, we're just walking mindless around the trenchs
Oh also a little of drawfaggotry would be cool.
Also
Hav my babbies

I thought getting info was our objective. And regarding suggestions for our generous questfag, I was going to say some action would be nice but we are going to get that anyway. And Inb4 we get sent on the raid.

... I /think/ I know what McGregor was working on...

...Want to know?

>>17196045

>>17196045

Go on...
