You have a Barracks, basic Triage building, and a crude mess hall built already. The men not on patrol or fishing are currently chowing down on the fresh fish, which Dr. Klein and Dr. Buren have cleared for consumption with a bit of dissection. It's good fish, but tastes a bit... funny. Not in a bad way, though.

>>21740684

Set up machine gun emplacements facing the forest, as well as trip flares and wire. It's our weakest front, so we should make sure it's well covered by obstacles and have a double watch on it.

>>21740684
Dr. Klein also proves particularly adept in astrology, as it seems that 'hobby' fields work best with the old man. He happily goes stargazing, noting that the 'North Star' on this world is of a unique color. It seems to be almost prismatic, an aura of colors radiating from it.

It may also be interesting to note that there are two moons on this world.

Two very bright moons-- the main one being white, as on Earth. The other is bright red, looking almost like a bloody teardrop as it trails several large chunks of red behind it. It looks almost as though something blasted the planetoid apart eons ago, settling down into its exotic shape.

Well, not -everything- on this world could be normal, at least.

I'm here from the first thread.
I'm awaiting the resolution of the first day, as well as night time reports.

And how was the fish and sauerkraut?

Oh wait, we still have a few hours left.

What do?

>>21740718
I think they are waiting for op to post results from Gunther's scouting.

I don't remember exactly. Can we communicate with the Nazis back on Earth, or was that only while the gate was open? This might be a great time to send a message back to High command, announce in official style the success of the foray and a summary of initial findings.

>>21740737
Only when the gate is open.

>>21740738
>>21740740
Er, what?

>>21740727
Hrm. Have we passed the word onto Gunther about the night mission? Namely that once night falls (or as soon as possible, no sense sending them in the dark if we don't have to) he is to take his squad, one 251 for transport and a 247 as support, go to the burned-out village see if there are any books/survivors, paying particular attention to the manor we spotted earlier.

>>21740727
Dr. Klein, go grab a sniper's scope or binoculars or something, and see about identifying any planets.

>>21740755

But I'm having fun.

This is the OP

Nothing like 6 million Jews died. They weren't murdered or killed. They died of natural causes while under the care of the German government while visiting Germany and helping the war effort by volunteering their labor skills. The SS was purely military organization. All charges of atrocities were fabricated by the allies after the War as they were jealous of the military prowess of the Waffen SS. The WVHA was akin to the FTC, the IKL ran correctional institutions and RSHA and Gestapo were law enforcement agencies fighting to build a new and united Europe and protect it from the red menace and the liberal influences of the western powers. And, even if a few civilians were shot by a hand full of rouge SS men, the leaders of the German Government (especially uncle Adi) and the entire population of the Reich were wholly unaware. Lastly, should a few military units have capped a couple of folks and dumped them into pits, these personnel were definitely not members of the Heer, Luftwaffe, Polizei or Kreigsmarine. In most cases, if there really were any such incidents, these acts would have been committed by members of local, non-German militias, in spontaneous and entirely uncontrollable outbursts of patriotic fervor against the jewish bankers. There was no policy of extermination whatsoever. Right? Happy now? Sounds great Siegfried.

>>21740729
Fish and Sauerkraut was delicious.

You can add additional orders to your build queue, speak with your staff, or end your first day... and transition to SS COMMANDO MINI-QUEST.

Or just skip the mini-quest and go to day two. Whatever works for you, Oberst Landa.

>>21740711
You instruct the engineers working the other fronts to focus on the western one. The arcs of covering fire won't be as great, but it's better than nothing at all. The wires and trip flares should help, too, in the night.

>>21740769
AW YES MINI-QUEST TIME

>>21740765
you are funny guy.
still, it sounds plausible.

In retrospect, we probably should have had a few men abstain from the fish. Who knows what effect food from this world will have on us.

>>21740785
We had a Doktor test the fish.

>>21740769
(I need to sleep now, so I'll be leaving for the night. I'll check in tomorrow. Nice job, OP, let's try to keep it a bit less "how many ditches are you digging" and more nazis being nazis in a generic fantasy world. Clear choices are good for people.)

Also, haters gonna hate.

We cannot test for magic though.

COMMANDO MINI QUEST TIME

And my grandfather died of Alzheimer's. I don't get ass-pained whenever somebody makes a senility joke.
The use of nazis here has more to do with their archetypal portrayal in fiction than the real world. Super science, mysticism, and imperialism combined with a WW2 era technological flavor make for a fun group to send into another world.
>mfw when I'm Jewish

Also boggling my mind, is the hypocrisy of the revisionist line of reasoning. Given that the majority of you guys hate hebrews, brown people, and untermensch in general, why try to deny something which should give you so much joy? From a purely pragmatic perspective, the sheer waste of resources, human and material, makes my head hurt.

I am well versed on this subject and am already familiar with the "it never happened evidence".

Go drink some Warsteiners and watch Triumph of the Will a few more times. Sieg Heil ya'll.

The stupid in this thread makes me feel like my head's gonna explode.

GUNTHER COMMANDO QUEST YEAAAH!

GENERAL ORDER: Gunther better bring back some spirits from the wince cellar we spotted at the mansion!

>>21740769
>You can add additional orders to your build queue, speak with your staff, or end your first day
Can we put in some trenches and emplacements to hinder attackers in case we attacked by lizardmen or something?

>>21740855
Already did that.

Seriously, the antifa JIDF anger in this thread is depressing. I thought people in /tg/ had the modicum of maturity and imagination to roleplay stuff outside their comfort zones. But then you have these assholes who get angry on their kneejerk reactions and assume that everyone's a neonazi for participating. Shit, it's a cool idea for a quest and it's been done in a similar way before; i don't remember seeing anyone decrying Holodomor or the Katyn massacre when we were doing 'Spetsnaz in Faerun.

It's also kinda silly when this board loves 40k's Imperium of Man, which is inspired by, the most among other things, Nazi Germany, or when most players here have played CE murderhobos who've done things far more abhorrent than what an average Wehrmacht engineer could have ever done.

>>21740862
I somehow missed that part and was only looking at the inventories.
Okay, if we have any more squads, we can probably send one out to find more of a variety of food, if we're going to stay here a while we could use something more sustainable than fish.
After that we can probably switch to SS squad, since I'm not sure if there's much else we can do before advancing the story

>>21740884
Just ignore it, I think it's only one guy anyway

>>21740884
And the thing was, the last thread had none of this sageing. It was fine and the people who didn't like it didn't post in the thread.

May be best to reschedule this for tomorrow. It appears that the actual /tg/ questers have gone to sleep. The grognards are out in force. I'll roll with things and see if new attention gets gained.

>>21740855
Actual trenches will take considerably more time, but provide a much greater defensive bonus. (Required time with current productivity: 5 Days). Your current foxholes and minor emplacements are effective, but full trenches will be much more so.

>>21740825
>>21740778
>>21740854
And the perspective shifts...

You're Gunther Hinden. You're 150 kilos of pure badass, built like a Panzer and have an MG39 to prove it. Currently, you're riding with your five-man squad of fellow commandos, with you as the sixth man. Situated in the back of the noisy-as-fuck Sd.Kfz. 251, you're currently on your way to what that smug little shit Oberst Landa has dispatched you to.

Granted, since you're on the wheel, you could take any detours you feel like. There's that decimated village that's only a few kilometers away from the Manor, or you could go right to it and do the fucking job that you were originally sent here to do: Secure a new world for the Reich, gather Intel, and exterminate any ugly fucker that didn't learn how to speak German quickly.

>[ ] Detour to the village?
>[ ] Asses squad?
>[ ] Go right to Manor.
>[ ] Other?

>21740909
I stand corrected, seems some genuine /tg/ers have shown up. Let's roll with the crazy-fucking-commando train!

>>21740769
>You can add additional orders to your build queue, speak with your staff
Additional orders: chop down a tree, it's time to see how old this forest is.
Additional orders: Have a small team dig an unobtrusive foxhole to watch The Gate from, right in front of it.
Speak to Subordinates: Gretta (Radio operator lady), have her use her HAM radio style experience to scan and listen to the airwaves for weird things, since she's not got much else to listen to right now.

>>21740909
Assess squad, I wanna see what dumb subordinates we've been saddled with

Probably detour to the village if we haven't been there already, but it's likely a trap

>>21740909
>[ ] Asses squad?
Yes, this.
Then we go NEAR the village, drive around it once, then take a quick peek. After that, to the manor and the WINE CELLAR!

>>21740909
[X] Go right to Manor.
We don't need to waste any time.

>>21740909

We have our orders, and we don't know how long night is. We don't want to look incompetent in front of that smug shovel-jockey, do we?

>>21740909
GUNTHER!
have all your men wear full body armor!
Arrows are silent, but still deadly if they find unprotected flesh!
Become the invincible BEAR!

>>21740945
Seconded.

>>21740945
>>21740998
Thirded

>>21740936
The recon squad was there, or at least the vehicle crews. The fires have died down, but apparently it was burnt to a crisp and everyone put to the sword. Men, women, and children. Real artwork.

>>21740924
The tree is easy enough: Dr. Klein, master of eccentric hobbies, can quickly recount the age of the forest.

Thousands of years old, apparently, and just at the outskirts. The rings are fat on the tree you cut down, and it's clear that the forests here are very old. Very old indeed, and full of rich timber. Cherry in particular-- you'd make a nice profit, were you a logger working for yourself.

As far as Gretta goes, she keeps an eye on the airwaves, but there's nothing outside of the occasional check-in from base command. Radio appears to work through the Gate regardless of it being opened or closed.

>>21740945
>>21740949
>>21740959

>>21740998
You quickly look over the five men under your command, swerving around the edge of the village. Place fucking reeks. Smells like a butcher shop left out in the sun all day-- carrion are feasting well into the night, and you get a good glimpse of all the heads mounted on pikes along the way. Someone was definitely sending a message, more than just burned-out houses would leave.

Still, you and your men are cool as ice. You peek again, and you take a full assessment. You're all in full body armor, each of you having a pair of fragmentation grenades and a single AT grenade, as well as medical supplies.
Current Loadout:
>Ralf. Trenchgun with a Mauser as a backup weapon. Carries the squad's radio
>Otto. Model 38, Mauser backup weapon. Carries a combat knife with an extended blade, as well as an extra pair of fragmentation grenades.
>Lothar. Trenchgun, Mauser backup weapon. Specializes in sensitive information retrieval.
>Manuel. Scoped Gewehr 41, Mauser backup. Intelligence specialist with an eye for details.

>>21741072
>Dennis. Model 38, Mauser backup weapon. Specialist in close-quarters combat, as well as an expert in stealth. More so than the rest of you-- guy is a fucking ghost.

And you. Badass supreme. Six-man wolf pack.

The vehicle rolls along to the front of the Manor. It's an old building, two stories high and a wine cellar basement. You can see the entrance to the wine cellar from here. You also know that there's a back door, likely to a kitchen, as well as a front door and a servant's entrance. A few of the windows look broken, but you also notice that there's a stone chapel off to the west of the Manor, with the river running behind it. There's even a small pier running onto the river.

The Manor doesn't have any farmland around it, though. Seems like it imported the food from the village, or elsewhere. There's even an abandoned wagon with a few boxes on it near the double-wide front doors.

>>21741072
I like Ralf, he seems innocent and dumb enough to send out as an advance scout. Send him around to pick through the remains.

>>21741084
Check the boxes in the wagon

>>21741084
Okay, let's do this shit, full operator status. We cut the pie, go through it room by room, people watch each other and their surroundings, after we've swept the place for hostiles we check the wine cellar.

If there are civvies we secure them, gently, and bring them back to base. We may dislike the ditch digger with a fancy degree but it'd be damn stupid of us to take out civvies just to piss him off, intel is needed.

Then we loot the place for any intel and bring some good wine back to share, because everyone loves booze, even six and a half foot tall murder machines, and sharing is caring.

We'll clear the chapel out after we've swept the main building.

>>21741114
Slice the pie I mean. Not cut the pie.

And also keep a VERY close eye out for traps, we saw those weird little fuckers and their traps.

And check the wagon first, it's closest, but take it very careful, nothing rash.

>>21741084
Hmmm. I say we keep the squad together. Send Dennis forward to see if he can hear anything. If noot, move in carefully through the front door. I hope they brought flashlights.
>>21741072
>Specializes in sensitive information retrieval.
Is that a euphemism for torture?

>>21741128
No, it's a euphemism for baking pastries so tasty that the prisoner tells us everything just to get another muffin.

Yeah, it's almost certainly torture/interrogation.

Effective interrogation often doesn't involve lopping off fingers. It gets you answers, but when you're doing that they'll say whatever they think will get you to stop hurting them, it being true or not. It's exceptionally difficult to sift through all the white noise and false information with torture. Interrogation is mainly a long process with a lot of talking and convincing them that you're a trusted friend.

Strip the tankcrews/ Sd.Kfz down to the bare minimum. Place them round the camp and let the drivers assist in bulding the camp. We need manpower more then mobile firepower.
Gunners and loaders however should keep scanning the perimeter for threats.

>[ ] Asses squad?

Remind the squad that even if the locals are only armed with spears, bows and harsh language they can still kill or injure.

>>21741175
>Strip the tankcrews/ Sd.Kfz down to the bare minimum. Place them round the camp and let the drivers assist in bulding the camp. We need manpower more then mobile firepower.
Sounds reasonable, but I feel that oculd bite us in the ass if something nasty comes around. this is fantasyland, prepare for everything! We can scare off some things and make them believe we're gods with a well-placed tank shell

Great, now we're having a nazi quest thread featuring torture. You must be trolling.

Thanks for bringing drama to the board.

>>21741128
It's only a euphemism when it's in polite company.

When it's being done, it's 'Talk and I stop waterboarding you.'

>>21741125
>>21741099
>>21741085
Sending Dennis and Ralf out of the comfort of the idling vehicle, Dennis sweeps the windows of the place as Ralf moves ahead to check the wagon's contents. His trenchgun sweeps wagon, your vehicle's headlamps illuminating the entire front of the building. Your flashlights are somewhat bulky, considering the technology of the time. Having them strapped to your body armor, it's not exactly subtle, but it's better than fiddling with them with one hand on your gun and the other on your flashlight.

Dennis: "Front side-- CLEAR!"
Ralf: "I found something!"

He abruptly points out a large wooden crate on the wagon, marked with some freaky-ass symbol. Like the ones on that Gate everyone was freaking out about.

Not that you understood that anyways-- you didn't see anything like what the others endured. It was a straightforward step from one side to the next.

Still, what now?

>>21741193
>>21741190
If anyone takes this as a serious promotion of fascism, Nazism, or any sort of totalitarian government, they have issues separating a silly quest about Nazis in a fantasy world from actual Nazi promotions.

But y'all be grognardin', so ain't a damn thing I can do about it.

>>21741197
Weird. We're commandos, not eggheads, any of this mystic cross universe travel bullshit isn't our field. We load the boxes up in the 251, report that we found them and leave whatever's in them to other people. Not our fucking problem.

Then continue the operation as planned.

>>21741190
You mean as YOU said. Seriously get back in POL samefag JIDF and stay there, your micropenis will never grow from actions taken on the internet.

Quest is moderately interesting to me, since I like the whole modern vs fantasy mix.

to get some inspiration.

>>21741214

>>21741214
This. How many can we fit in the 251 and still head back? Anyways, let's see what else we find before we decide what to bring back.

>>21741211

We've checked the outside, now we should check for non-secure entries and sweep the inside for intelligence.

>>21741214
>>21741228
>>21741240
As far as you can tell, there's only one of the weird pseudo-magic-branded-crate things. The rest of the stuff is just bags of grain, some bolts of linen, and what looks like a couple weird pieces of glassware in another box. You don't open the Weird Box. Because, well, it's fucking Weird.

Still, that leaves the wagon cleared. What next?
>[ ] Breach the front door.
>[ ] Try to go through the back door, if there's one.
>[ ] Use the servant's entrance.

[ ] Try to go through the back door, if there's one.

>>21741268
We'll deal with the cellar later. Don't want to leave the main house uncleared before we go down, it leaves us vulnerable.

[X] Use the servant's entrance.

Main doors often lead into a foyer, hostiles could have set defenses leading up the stairs giving them the high ground. Back door is also acceptable.

>>21741268
Mk, we'll take the glassware and the Weird box back to base when we leave. Use the servant's entrance, QUIETLY.

>>21741284
Agreed with this guy

>>21741268
[x] Breach the front door.

We're 150 kilos of pure badass and spoiling for a fight. And what's the point of being a stormtrooper if we don't storm shit?

The two boxes loaded up, you grab your massive heavy weapon in both hands as you step off, the entire vehicle rocking slightly as you make your way to the servant's entrance, side door. It's a small tunnel built into the side of the manor, out of the way and meant for discrete entrance and exit of the serving staff.

And now, it's the main way in for a six-man team of hardcore stormtroopers.

The door has already been forced open, judging by the fact that the fucking doorknob is on the ground, so you just walk right in anyways, machine gun held before you like the gigantic piece of steel overcompensation it is.

You end up inside of the kitchen, and boy, is it a fucking bloodbath. There's about a half-dozen guys in what look like chainmail armor. They've got halberds in their hands, and most of them have a distinct lack of blood and general lifesigns. Someone carved these guys up, as evidenced by several limbs that are either decapitated or otherwise entirely missing.

Someone fucked these guys up -bad-.

Still, the kitchen looks a bit old-timey, with a fireplace, wood-burning stove, and all that other good stuff. There's a wooden door at the other end of the room, busted like the others but partially closed.

>[ ] Continue on?

>>21740765
Shot by a handful of red SS men? What? I didn't learn anything about this.....

You're forgetting that Hitler orchastrated competitions and rivalry between his staff. He'd always order 2 people to do the exact same job in order for them to work harder and +1up the other. Hitler didn't order the mass extermination of Jews, he wanted them gone, but didn't order it. High Command officers wanting to please him did it, he just didn't stop it. Before the middle of the ar, Jews were in Gulags. Eventually they took too much of the minimal supplies and so they had to be dealt with. Therefore, exterminated... The rooms they were murdered in still exist.

To everybody else, let him run his damn quest in peace. He has every right to do this, he doesn't need people being dicks about it.

The way the thread is looking, I'm certain the mods are going to be handing out bans for...

OP is breaking no rules, by written word or intention. This is 4chan, if something offends you, you're in the wrong place. Now, if this turns into rounding up and holocausting people of specific real-world minorities, then you can start to whine. But no, this is /tg/, and anyone with even a lick of experience in tabletop games knows that a game can quite literally take any direction.

[X] Investigate bodies?

While we're investigating make sure the rest of the squad is keeping guns trained on the entrances to the room. We're not going to get a full medical diagnosis, other than they're very dead, but we have some experience in how the human body looks after different types of fatal trauma are applied. See if the chainmail got chopped through, if it was done by something heavy and brutal or just extremely sharp, try to recreate as much of it as possible.

Avoid moving the bodies, the docs might want to take a look. Later we might want to take some back for when we go back, but that's not an issue for right now.

>[x] Investigate bodies?

Whatever killed those stooges may still around, so bether figure out wht happened here to avoid unpleasant surprises.

>>21741357

Are you seriously trying to absolve Hitler of the blame?

I like the thread, but this is a sensitive subject.

>>21741356
Clear the house first. We can investigate later. Or better yet, leave the bodies for the whitecoats.

>>21741375
Oh and by recreate I mean mentally more than anything else. By looking at the carnage we might be able to get an idea of where they would be standing, where the attack came from, and so on. We can get an idea of how cautious we should be of whoever did this.

>>21741379
I never said that, and I'm not going to go into it. Yes it's a sensitive subject, does that mean we should not talk about it? Push it under the carpet? Forget it ever happened? Let it repeat itself?

Don't bother replying, I don't want to go into this, quest threads and quest threads, at least this guy is running an interesting one, albeit based slightly on a book. As long as the Germans don't run into a Godess in Human form, who is a lunatic and wants to cause the complete genocide of a race of creatures which cause said Nazi to question his belief in the Reich... We're good to go.

You decide at least a cursory glance is in order. As your men fan out to cover the door, you see that the door leading to the main lobby is, in fact, fucked. Someone busted the lock on that too, but seemed to have closed it behind them for whatever reason.

The bodies themselves are in pretty rough shape. These guys clearly knew how to fight, and the tabards they're wearing under their armor, besides being nice red pieces of cloth ripped to shreds, look pretty fancy. They've got a sigil of what looks like a yellow castle of some kind, surrounded by a pair of yellow angelic wings.

Weird, but you know it's a family crest of some kind. Even back in Germany, some people were crazy for that kind of stuff.

The actual fight seems to have been pretty brutal. These guys died fighting, as indicated by the blood on their weapons, but there's no sign of the other guys that died. The other guys were brutal, too: They took the ears off each corpse as trophies, as well as the nose. They're also damn strong-- in some cases, these guys lost an entire arm, clean through the chainmail.

You relay this to your men, who just keep silent, as good commandos should, but look suitably more alert.

That's when you hear the sound of voices coming from the main lobby of the building. Multiple voices, and they're not speaking German. You look to Lothar, who just shrugs and levels his trenchgun at the door, seemingly waiting for your orders.

It's an alternate history book called "After the Downfall" basically a German officer tries to escape Germany while Russians rape and pillage, avoids a sniper bullet, enters another world, meets some God woman who is blonde hair blue eyes, she asks for help wiping out some race she hates, she basically becomes more and more insane, the Germany guy begins to question what he fought for in Germany and what he is doing now.

[ ] Breach, take them by surprise, try to capture at least one alive?

>21741435
Scout around some, keep a few men on this side at the door, sweep around and get a clearer view of the situation. Do they sound scared, violent, ready for violence, peaceful? Are they talking like a unit of soldiers or like a pile of civvies.

They may be civvies or otherwise non-hostile and are valuable sources of intel. If we go in killing, even if we try to capture at least one alive we might kill the one with valuable intel. The goal is recon, if possible no casualties on them if they're not hostiles, and capture for return to base.

We may be a bloody murderer, but we put the mission above our desire to kill, we're a professional damn it.

Well kameraden, it's high time I turned in for the night. When can we expect the next thread?

4chan seems buggered, which figures, because all the trolls went to bed.

I'll have this post archived as a tentative Part 2, and start up Part 2.5 tomorrow.

Everyone cool with this? Because without the quoting function, following the thread of who said what to who is gonna be a clusterfuck.

I don't even really notice the trolls, since the janitors were great on cleaning up the nastiness (A tip of the cap to the janitors is due) of the gore/guro pics. Sage is sage, so be it.

As far as Gunther, judging by what Oberst Landa has seen, Gunther would probably exterminate the orcs single-handedly. The dude is built like a King Tiger with nitrous oxide in the gas tank.

In reality? You'll have to find out!

I can also do a dramatic final post, if you folks want to go out for the night with something fun.

No words are exchanged, just looks and hand gestures. Three fingers. Hand clenched, point at door. Two fingers, swirl around.

Otto and Dennis follow behind you, their submachine guns held close as the three of you round around to the back door. Classic breaching maneuver. Flank the enemy from two sides at once.

As you exit the servant's entrance, you feel a sudden burning in your hands, your grip on Gertrude shaking slightly as you continue on. It hurts. It hurts like a motherFUCK, but you troop on regardless. You're not sure why, or how, but your brain just doesn't seem to give a fuck about the pain.

In fact, you feel pretty damn invincible, regardless of the fact that your veins seem to be bulging in your arms in some pretty fucking freaky ways.

The men behind you don't seem to notice, their eyes peeled for enemy reinforcements rather than weirdness with their leader.

You twist your head, and you feel several bones pop into place with a sudden rush of vigor and strength. Fuck! You haven't felt this good since... ever!

>>21741714

As you round the back door, you're not exactly sure why, but you know that nobody's in the rear area. It's the main lobby that's got people in it. As such, you don't even bother to peek through the door crack, just opening the unbroken door (How you knew it was unlocked is anyone's guess, but who cares?) in the back. Soon enough, you, Dennis, and Otto are in the rear of the Manor.

You breathe, and somehow, you know that there's six people in that room. Well, one actual 'person', and five of those lizard-things. You can hear them talking. You don't know the words, but you've heard the same line of conversation before. Important person begging for their life.

Indifferent captors having fun before they execute them.

You can practically see it in your mind, just how it'd go down. Executing all of the creatures inside of there. One wide sweep with Gertrude, drum magazine jerking wildly in the receiver, five dead targets. Scythed clean in half. One VIP secured.

You look at your surroundings, at the little wardrobe room squared away in the back room, with the mirror hanging on the wall and the little chiffarobe and the closets full of fancy clothes.

You look at the mirror, and you see something unfamiliar in your eyes, there for a moment... And gone.

The world returns to normal, and you feel a distinct lack of breath, slowly returning to your massive frame, but you know what the situation ahead is.

The next choice of what to do... is yours.

Next time, with Nazis in Fantasyland.

>>21741715
Damn, Gunther is screwy as hell. He didn't see anything in the Gate and now he's got all sorts of freaky going on.

>>21741715
Oh, wunderbar. The psycho-stumtruppen is also a psyker. I'll see y'all on Tuesday then

He's a werewolf. I'm calling it.

Also, I am late but has anyone entertained the idea of clearing the Mansion and making that our base of operations?
Think about it, it is already a sturdy, stone structure. It would serve greatly as HQ. We could set up all the defenses around it.

It's only a matter of time before our base is going to be found out so the advantage of it being unknown will be pretty short.

>>21740765
I don't care about some jews getting wasted I care about my grandfathers brother getting put to thee wall for nothing more then being a freethinker. And although I despise the ss and gestapo, I like this tread and know the difference between role play and reality

>>21741840

we could use it as a forward Command Post.
use some concrete to seal off the servant enterance, re-purpose the wine cellar to act as a bunker...
we could use it as a meeting point for the locals, as in don't let them into our base, talk to them in the mansion.

>>21745284
>>21741840
I like this idea. We could live stylish.

>>21745639
It seems a bit impractical. I say we interrogate the VIP after we rescue him, and then go from there

>>21747246
What? Why interrogate first? We bring him back to have a proper serious talk with him. And then when we are finished being nice we tortu- ehm, retrieve sensitive information from him.

>>21747246

you raise a good point. however, i think that interrogation might not be the most suitable option. i think that we should set up a CP in the mansion, as to not expose our main base to the natives. we can have them under guard in one of the mansions bed chambers. this helps by allowing them a 'safe zone' with which to adjust to our sudden apperition. from there we can begin to establish communication with the VIP, maybe even teaching them German, as our language is clearly superior to theirs.
(i assume we are a german supremist)

>>21745639

It's a bad idea, we don't want to take over existing structures until we know the local area and it's peoples, because for all we know there might be locals who live there who aren't there right now.

Not to mention right now we're in recce mode, which means that our base of operations should be first and foremost HIDDEN from any local civilians and/or military personnel. Maybe once we have the personnel available to support motorized patrols and a proper perimeter, then we can make it into a FOB, but for now it's a bad idea.

>>21747589
Of course we are a supremacist!
However, what with our base being in the middle of a huge clearing and right next to a large (lightly) trafficked river, it seems that our base will not be secret for long. If we are to stay here for several years then the mansion might be a cool dormitory for the CO and his top men, but until that point tents and then bunkers are the way to go.

>>21747744

now, before Obersturmbannfuhrer returns, we should plan just how we are going to secure this VIP. we know that there are five tangos and the VIP. i suggest a simultanious strike from as many fronts as possiable.

>>21748021
Mow them down with the 34.
Then have Ralf, and Lothar turn them into jelly if they are still moving.

>>21748915
>>21748878
I am present in mobile form! I can answer questions, though I'm uncertain about being able to quickly post.

I'll give it a shot anyways!

As far as the manor is concerned, it's a solid position defensively, as far as Gunther can tell. Its stone outer walls are a solid buffer for troops to take cover behind. Its windows are both a vulnerability and an advantage, providing firing arcs at the expense of potential targets for heavy munitions.

Space seems pretty good, though, for either a command post or a fortified barracks. Adding to it might be a pain in the ass, but it should be large enough to house a couple squads (or the command elements) in comfort.

As it is, though, you need a plan of action. You have a solid crossfire with your guys covering the south and western angles.

You should choose soon, though. The things on the other side of the room sound like they're nearing the end of the 'getting entertained by their captive' phase. The next bit isn't nearly so pleasant, as you know.

>>21749397
1. Kill the captors. (leave one alive for interrogation)
2. Free grateful captive.
3. Bring grateful excaptive, ungratefule captive and weird box back to base.
4. ...
5. Profit!

>>21749446
Gotta go with this one.
If the lizards turn out to be friendly later? Well... no one learns about these ones.

>>21749446

the attack, will of course, be multi-directional. maybe someone wants to get some CQC in to capture one of the lizard things.

>>21748021
>>21748106
>>21749446
>>21749460
You can't help but grin as you signal your two men with you, both of them stacking up with you on the door.

Gertrude in hand, you plant a steel-toed boot on the doorway, kicking it clean off its hinges.

Oops. You hadn't intended to be quite THAT forceful, but it felt good anyways, so fuck it!

You see your targets. Four of those lizard things. They're small and hunched over, but they've got spears with them and a smattering of daggers either in hand or on their belts. Iron ones, but they'll still fuck someone up.

They've also got some jerkwad guy in chainmail captive. His tabard is bright green, with the same logo. He's got a number of bruises and cuts on his face, with a big dent on his helmet. Half a dozen dead men surround him, as well as a torn-down tapestry.

And then you see just what has been ripping off arms. It's clearly not human, but you're braced for that kind of shit.

What you aren't braced for is the fact that this thing is bigger than you, its head scraping against the ceiling.

Its probably three hundred kilos, with big fuckoff-sized ivory tusks jutting from its lips. Its green body is bare but for a loincloth, though it has stony-looking skin. It also has a fucking battle-ax the size of Gertrude casually held in one hand.

Your machine-gun gives a happy roar in your hands, kicking against your steel grip as you aim your fire against the big bastard. You steadily advance as the gun sprays bullet casings down at your feet, the light of tracer rounds outlining your arc of fire.

You have to give credit to this thing, though. Most men wouldn't get a single step. This thing? It charges three steps forward, even as you cut it in half diagonally.

Flesh rips apart as red blood sprays the plaster wall behind it and splashes upon the underlings now running in all directions.

Dennis and Otto sweep in behind you, Lothar charging forward from his end with the trenchgun leveled. Dennis and Otto open fire, picking off their two lizard-things with an explosion of gore.

Lothar manages to pick off one with a blast of his shotgun, but the remaining lizard-thing chucks its spear as he racks the slide. The spear skewers him in the right leg, eliciting an angry grunt.

Pain can come later, though, at least for him. Chucking his shotgun at the lizard-thing, he promptly draws his Mauser and puts two shots into it. One bullet per kneecap.

And with a haze of smoke, the room is cleared, with a wide-eyed former captive and a shrieking lizard-thing.

Now, brb for dinner!

Hey OP.
Does this have anything to do with my old thread back in the day?

>>21750101
Also, OP, do you have a link to the (archived) previous thread? I read some of it when it was up, but I'd like to get my bearings.

Auch, bandage up Lothar and get him to the truck. Snap off the spear in his leg but don't pull it out yet. Leave that to the kind surgeon.

>>21750101
How much more left of the estate? My instinct is to GTFO now that we've got some natives.

>>21750657

what, and miss the chance to slaughter as many inferior creatures without that stuckup Oberst pratteling on...

Have we looked at armaments? Because im reasonably sure the Wehrmacht didnt have any trenchguns and didnt even consider them war weapons.

Whats the small arms inventor look like?

Im almost tempted to stay purist with the Mp40 and K98ks...

>>21750101
Ok we patch up buddys leg, hand out a good old "crush their will" beating to the upity lizard critter and take the VIP as well as the lizard prisoner and the big fucker's body back for the Oberst.

With any luck seeing how REAL soldiers do their job will smarten him up.

Note to self: slaughter lizard critters

The trenchgun, as far as I'm aware, was used by both sides. If not... Looted trenchgun that your squad has taken for the usefulness thereof?

Actual armaments vary, as you have a compilation of guns and extra parts back at basecamp, but it's fair to say that your selection of heavy weapons or extra firearms is somewhat limited at the

.>>21750337
>>21750575
>>21750657
Lothar grunts as he stares at the thin little spear, grabbing it in both hands. He snaps the weapon's shaft in twain, still leaking a bit of blood, before hobbling over to his gun. He's a big boy, so he can handle getting himself back to the APC.

The soldier you rescued stares at you, your weapons, the dead creatures (and one screaming one), and everything else in abject shock. He tries to say something in his weird language, but just goes quiet.

You know that there's a second floor to this place, and that it may not be clear. Then again, as Otto gags the lizard-thing's screeching snout with a handkerchief and binds its claws together with some rope from his pack, you realize you've got a decent haul so far.

The soldier you rescue points to the door to the east, then up. Seems that's the stairwell. Smart guy, if bewilderd-looking.

What's your next course of action, Mr. Badass?

>>21751551

We were ordered to recce the entire manor. We have our orders. Detail one of our men to look after the prisoners and Lother, the rest will recce the 2nd floor.

We don't leave jobs half-done.

>>21751584
Don't want that fucking shovel jockey getting the satisfaction of chewing us out for not doing our job now do we?

>>21751280
*Smacks self* forgot there was another floor.

>>21751551
Anywho, take the VIP with us as we check out the rest of this place-he will hopefully point out anything important.

If possible have a quick look outside, the gunfire will have attracted attention. It looks like this brute was responsible for most of the attack but if there are any others near by the shots will surely attract them.

also, going by this anything upstairs probably knows were here. So we should be on high alert.

>>21751584
>>21751623
>>21751732
You're about to put Dennis on overwatch for Lothar and the captured lizard when the former shakes his head. The injured warrior snags his fallen trenchgun over by the strap, pumping a fresh round into the chamber.

"Go." He says, one word. He levels the weapon at the hogtied monster. He's got it under control. You briefly consider if the spear might be poisoned, but Otto and the others are already through the door, a 3-man fireteam quickly ascending the stairs. Whether or not you post a guard is still up to you, but Lothar may take it as an undermining of your confidence in him. He could be poisoned, though.

The soldier/VIP takes position at the rear of the fireteam, picking up his formerly fallen sword and shield.

Your call. Roll 1d20 for tactical stairwell ascent.

>>21752081
You nod to Lothar as he is left to guard the prisoner alone. An act of trust, which his eyes express gratefulness for. You're a wolf pack, and you, as alpha, have given Lothar a measure of confidence.

Otto, taking point, lets out an abrupt shout as there's a heavy TWOK noise.

You round the corner, Gertrude raised, to see that Otto has an arrow jutting out of his torso armor. If he were a Wehrmacht infantryman, you know you'd have your first casualty of the operation.

Instead, Otto is shouting his anger and blasting at the second floor railing. Timber splinters, and you see a dead lizard-thing clutching a bow in its hand. It lands on it's back on the railing, giving a crunching noise,

Well, at least you know that these bastards are frail. Its entire torso is shredded from the pellets of the gun, and it vaguely reminds you of the meat from your father's butcher shop. May that bastard burn in hell.

Otto is bleeding a bit, but it doesn't seem critical. The squad arrives to find the second floor consists of a single, long corridor.

A long corridor with two of those big shits, and about a dozen of the lizard ones.

Shit. Seems like they're waiting for you... This is it!

Roll 1d20 for the big finale!

Any particular strategies for this one?

You fling yourself to the ground as Dennis and Otto take a knee, opening fire with the cool precision of expert marksmen. The massive creatures, taking up a position at the rear of the oncoming horde, lumber forward with only a few shallow wounds as the lizard-things up front take the brunt of your fire.

Gertrude roars in your hands, and you feel your blood run like fire as you scythe down three of them singlehandedly. Their bodies don't even stop running as you simply lop off the top halves with your machine gun.

Dennis and Otto open fire with their 38s, and you feel a measure of satisfaction as two of the monsters go down with pinpoint holes in their heads. Ralf's trenchgun blasts as the closest of the lizard-things, causing them to be trampled underfoot as they get wounded.

There's a single KWOOOOOM of firing, and you watch one of the two larger monsters go down, his entire head bursting like an overripe grape.

>>21753711
You are quite right. My apologies-- I've moved back to college. Saturday I was able to fully dedicate, but Sunday has mostly been me showing up, making a few posts from my phone between times of hanging out with my dad, packing for college, etc, etc, excuses, excuses.

I'm here now for a couple hours, though. Enough to wrap up Part 2, at least.

>>21753930

The remaining one, as well as his compatriots, begin to close the gap. Ralf pumps a fresh slug in when Otto flings one of his two frag grenades, the ensuing explosion clearing out the remaining lizard-things. In the order of less than half a minute, and at the expense of a full drum magazine, you've cleared out all but two of the lizard-things, and the remaining heavy monster.

Which is right when your VIP, armed with his sword, leaps over your crouching form, parrying the greataxe with a flourish of his sword before ducking around. Unfortunately, this leaves him flanked by the two lizard-things, and still locking blades with the large bastard.

You let Gertrude hang from your waist as you draw your Mauser, your expert aim letting you send four rounds downrange in the blink of an eye. Blood explodes from the chests of each lizard-thing as you deliver a double-tap for each one.

The big one shoves the swordsman back, his flank secure. He gives a shout as it swings its axe around, knocking the sword from his hands as he attempts to parry it a second time.

Dennis seems to get the same idea as you as he fires off the last of his magazine, putting several holes into the back of the creature, which now roars out. Drawing his Mauser and knife into each hand, Dennis is like a furious ghost of vengeance, charging right at the monster. You know that Dennis and Lothar are close, so it's pretty clear that Dennis wants payback for his friend.

Which he gets, as he leaps right onto the back of the monster, burying the steel of his knife into its neck before pressing his gun against its temple. There's a single, muffled pop from the point-blank shot, the monster falling face down with nary a grunt.

And just like that, the war-torn hallway is cleared, though you're now left with four doors and a shitload of dead bodies.

it seems like using the mauser on the small ones followed by stabbing the big one to death is the order of the day.
heres a roll, just in case.

>>21754222

well, time to reaload and open some doors.
those rooms aren't going to search themselves. also, have one of the others secure the prisoner and a couple of corpses for transport. get them ready to go. the rest of the op should be quick.
also, get them to secure the VIP as well.

>>21754222
Clear the rest of the house, check to make sure that Lothar is ok, then start searching for books. Once that's done, load the weird box and the glassware into the 251, along with our rescued swordsman and captive lizardman and whatever books we find. Maybe one of the big guy's corpses if we can fit it.

>>21754273
I second this.

You reload Gertrude with a heavy click. You brought two spare magazines with you, plus the one you just emptied. That leaves you with one full drum magazine. Granted, you just tore through about four times your numbers in short order, so ammunition is kinda expected to be burned through like that. You've got spares back in the half-track, though.

Manuel takes the VIP along, while he's a bit more gentle than Lothar might be, it's made clear to the man with a few universally understood gestures (mostly nudging the man along with a hand on one shoulder) that he should be coming with you. The man dithers on, looking mildly concerned but not acting too panicked for now. He seems to think of you as allies, at least of a sort, thanks to that quick battle and timely rescue. He does make a point of retrieving his sword, however, which actually looks rather nice. Barely even scuffed by the heavy blow, too. What kind of steel do these people use for their weapons?

You use your knife to stick the heavily wounded lizard-things, killing them quickly and efficiently while Ralf, Otto, and Dennis each take one door per two. The first two rooms are cleared easily, as is the third. When you and Dennis stack up next to the northeast room, however, you find that the door is locked.

You also hear voices on the other side of the door. Panicked ones. More survivors?

It's up to you what you do, though. The door is barricaded, and they likely heard the sounds of fighting... but you don't speak the same language.

Room Uncovered:
>Library
>Office/Study
>Fancy Bathroom
>Locked Room

>>21754585
Get the VIP to tell them its safe.

>>21754628
This.
>>21754585
After we clear the locked room, search all the rooms for anything interesting/weird/useful. Even the bathroom. and send someone to make sure that the poor fellow who got speared is still alive.

>>21754628

agreed. we should have the VIP inform the people in the locked room that it is safe.
clearly what happened is that we interupted the lizards as they were about to break into the locked room.
be prepaired incase the people in the locked room are actually the lizards waiting to ambush us.

>>21754585
hmm... looks like we may be picking up a load of civies, we should probably raido back to HQ to send a truck.

>>21754739
This too. After we've cleared the house and figured out exactly how much we're bringing back.

You catch Manuel as he starts heading down the stairs.

"Hey! Bring the VIP back upstairs. We've got a locked room full of people, and he's the only one that can speak the lingo." You inform him.

~A few minutes later~
The VIP stands in front of the door, having understood the gist of what you want after a bit of interpretive sign language and some charades. Mostly, just you pointing at the dead monsters, then him, then giving a thumbs up. You don't smile much, so you don't try smiling. You'd probably give the guy a heart attack, or make him shit himself. Or both.

The ensuing exchange of shouting through the door is quick and furious, and you can hear a woman on the other side. A man inside the room makes some weird 'BANG BANG' noises, and you realize he's talking about the gunshots.

It must sound freaky for these people to hear gunfire.

Eventually, the sound of furniture being moved is heard, and a young red haired woman opens the door, her eyes wide and terrified. She sees you, armed as you are, and lets out a prompt shriek. The VIP says something, though, and she seems to look at you with an awe bordering on worship.

This works.

The doorway opens back up, and you see the inside of what looks like an armory of some kind. There's halberds, swords, and what looks like a big iron cabinet that has a built-in lock of some kind. And some chests that look like something out of a black-and-white film about pirates.

There's also two more people in the room besides the woman. All three are dressed in pretty ratty cotton clothes. You imagine that they're the slaves or whatever that work here and work as staff.

>>21754903
All in all, you've got not only your own group of six, but a captive, a VIP, and three more. Plus whatever you may want to bring alongside of that, in a vehicle that-- with you as driver-- seats 11 maximum. You've got room for 1, which is just enough to fit the crate of glassware and the weird magic box.

If you want to grab the books from the library or anything else, you'll need to either kick some of these people off, or leave one of the boxes behind.

Lothar, down below, is alive and well, though he's apparently given the lizard-thing he shot in the kneecaps a few good bruises. Broke its nose, even, it looks like. It's currently crying and weeping into its gag, tears streaming down its reptilian face.

>>21754808
>>21754739
Ralf manages to raise Gretta on the radio.

"More civilians? We can send one of the Blitzes to pick up the ones down there. Is the building safe, or should we have a squad join you?" She asks.

>>21754936
First, ask the VIP about the wine cellar, he might know if it's safe or not. Even if he says it's safe we should still clear it cautiously.

"The main building is clear and secure, we have yet to clear the wine cellar. We should be able to handle it.

Bring a medic, we have some injuries."

>>21754936

Send a 251 with a Wermacht squad to escort the blitz, that way we have extra security.

>>21754936
Might as well have a squad of Wehrmacht come along to help with the cleanup and loading the Blitz. While we're waiting for them we can clear the basement.

>>21754963
And a medic, yes.

>>21754936
Have them send a squad as protection for the Blitz. Could be more of them in the general region. More eyes and guns never hurt.

>>21754936
We were talking about acquiring some halberds earlier...
We might want more than one blitz

>>21754936
>glass
Shit, just have the civvies carry a couple of books. Maybe play charades so they pick out the best.

Also, do we have any way of caching stuff here? See if there is a good hidey-hole nearby to stuff any extra important loot. Maybe the VIP will know.

>>21754963
I shall back this.

What we need to do is call in 2 more vehicle, load a whole lot of corpes onto one and some examples of the local goods (like the stuf fin the armories) so that we can show the Oberst examples of local craftsmanship and examples of the lesser races that we will spend much time exterminating or binding to the yoke of the riech.

Oh and talk to our VIP, we need to clear the cellar, these lizards are clearly sub human so they will obviously have a lust for alcohol or other addictive substances.

>>21754936
Im pretty sure command is gonna want to move into that manor... Take the people, leave the books.

we should just take the civies back in our vehicle. have the blitz come to take back the rest of the stuff and some corpses.

>>21754966
>>21754963
>>21754980
>>21754991
>>21755002
"Yeah, send a squad, too. Make sure the medic has some stuff for a couple minor injuries-- one of my guys got stabbed."
"Stabbed?" Gretta asks, clearly alarmed.
"He'll pull through, ma'am. Takes more than a couple spears and arrows to keep a guy like me down. We've got civilians, though. They don't talk any language I know of, but they seem peaceful. There's some monsters, though, that weren't. Had to kill them."
"Understood. I'll notify the Oberst."

The VIP, meanwhile, watches this exchange in awe, up until you address him. His eyebrows furrow as he tries to understand what you're saying, before his eyes light up. He points at his mouth, then his ears, before running over to the window and pointing outside. You can see the wagon down below, the two crates undisturbed. He points emphatically towards the wagon, then to his mouth and ears, mouthing a few words. He looks rather animated.

Still, if nothing else, at least you'll have some backup to secure here, as well as a chance at getting the injuries of Lothar and Otto tended to. Mostly the former, since the arrow barely punctured Otto's armor, lightly scratching him underneath.

>>21755046
Why? We already have a base, it makes no sense to move and occupy a place which is already on the map. Better to stay out of the way in our current base. And don't forget, the mission was to retrieve information, so we have to bring the books back.

>>21755123

i still believe that we should use this building to conduct talks with the natives in. after all, it will be familiar architecture to them AND they won't be able to cause havoc in OUR base.

>>21755121
Maybe we can tow the wagon. Shouldn't be hard.

>>21755121
Ok then, regroup and prepare to clear the basement. No clue what the VIP is trying to tell us, but we'll leave it for the whitecoats to figure out.

CAPTCHA: Jacques ddruirst
Really? That's his name?

>>21755003
>>21755043
You place a request for an extra vehicle or two to join, so you can really empty the place out if command finds the need.

"Understood. I'll have a second Blitz sent your way. The men should be able to defend two vehicles, at least."

>>21755004
There's plenty of places to store stuff in here. This was, after all, a manor. It still is, in fact! Besides the armory and the rooms on the ground floor, you could probably store a lot more in the cellar below. Maybe not a full regiment of men, but at least enough to make a solid outpost or supply depot.

>>21755121
Strange, I have no idea what he's trying to say. But it's probably not a huge deal.

Use pantomime to ask him about the wine cellar, ask if any of the lizardy folks are down there.

>>21755156
Good idea. We'll keep that in mind if we find anything else in the basement.

>>21755123
>>21755046
I have to back hoffman on this, we already have a servicable base. We should hold on and wait until we're aware of the local political situation and whether or not we're in a kingdo, on the edge of a frontier, or two days away from the local equivilent of Berlin.

Secrecy is safety my friends.

>>21755123
We have tents and foxholes...

>>21755156
Now that is thinking with National Socialism. I think we should pursue this course of action. I want lots of lizard corpses. They will make EXCELLENT boots.

>>21755154
This idea does have merit. Maybe we could station some snipers and MG teams in the manor to protect our new friends?

>>21755186
>or not we're in a kingdo, on the edge of a frontier, or two days away from the local equivilent of Berlin.
>Secrecy is safety my friends.

IRRELEVANT! ADVANCE!

>>21755248
It's the middle of the night, lads. No time to be moving our very limited troops around. We need to stay concentrated. Maybe we can make the manor a forward outpost when the next shipment of men arrives.

>>21755248
Were not defending anything we arnt keeping...

>>21755208
Yes but OP stated that we have supplies to build our own walls and structures that are a tad more solid. Furthermore we're right next to a forest and a river so we have a source of wood, water, and fish.

We could quite easily build a pallisade that could be broken down later for supplies.

>>21755208
You do have a bit more than that. You've got the current build queue:

Currently Built:
>[ ] Command Tent [Primitive]
>[ ] Mess Hall [Basic]
>[ ] Triage Tent [Basic]
>[ ] Barracks [Basic]
>[ ] Latrines

Current Build Orders Queued:
>[ ] Command Post [Basic]
>[ ] Machine Gun Nests [Primitive]
>[ ] Anti-tank emplacements [Primitive]
>ETA: 1 Day Remaining for current queue.

Moving, however, is entirely doable if that is what the consensus desires.

For now, however...

>>21755156
The wagon doesn't appear to have a purpose-built hitch to it, but you suspect you can easily fashion something rudimentary for the short term hauling.

>>21755181
>>21755158
You make the hand gesture for your men to rally up on you, and the VIP continues speaking, making a few frustrated hand gestures. As you point below, punching your fist into your hand to pantomime violence, he shakes his head. He then points to the door, pantomiming turning a key. He then reaches under his chainmail armor, producing an iron key. It's a rather unique-looking key, though, in the shape of an "H".

>Manor Key procured.

Cellar door was locked, apparently. Smart move on the local's parts. These things don't seem smart enough to have snuck in.

>[ ] Check Cellar?
>[ ] Return to Oberst Landa?
>[ ] Other?

>>21755303
[X] Check Cellar?

Preform recon on the cellar. Even though they say it's clear we can't be too careful. Also once it's clear we can bring back some wine, everyone loves booze even crazy people like Gunther.

>>21755286
>>21755290
Well It was more a plan for the future than anything else Herr Hoffman. But you are right of course, we can't move our men around in the dead of night without a clear and present need. Lets just evanc the Locals to our base and introduce them to Fraulien Buren.

Oh, and Herr Walter please consider that we are here to build an empire. That requires some amount of cooperation with the locals. I fulladmit my measures may be a tad premature but between green Skinned men, lizard men (I would like to skin one when Fraulien Buren and Herr Klien are done with them for a new pair of boots.) and what appear to be fairly average human beings I know what I would choose to make friends with.

>>21755303
alright, let us check the cellar, grab some samples of the local food stuffs, stash anything that we think should be stashed and evac the locals for debriefing back at our camp.

So [x] check cellar

>>21755303

i'm sure that these local should have some kind of decent brew here. i think that we've earnt a few bottles of it...
after the other trucks have arrived, give them orders to load up anything useful (books, weapons, corpses booze...)

in reguards to the mansion, using it as an outpost and meeting point for the locals allows us to keep our main base more secret, as we won't be brining every civie we find there.

>>21755355
Ah, yes. I agree completely.
>>21755303
Check cellar.

>>21755410
Not to be presumptive. But;
- the town is within eyesight of our camp
- the town and road seem to be strategically located near the gate.
- being near the cusp of a forest invites ambush.

I must rest now...

The VIP follows you to the basement as you unlock the door. It seems fairly straightforward as far as architecture goes, but the place is freezing cold. There's a number of support columns scattered throughout the building's cellar in equidistant rows, each one of the stone pillars surrounded with wooden wine racks that are stacked atop kegs of various ales and lagers. There's an ice room and what looks like a mausoleum, the former seeming very mundane with a number of large blocks of ice stored in the cooled earthen area, whereas the latter appears to be a place where the Manor's former masters have been interred.

A large statue, holding a holy symbol unlike any other, is present there. The statue makes you feel a bit uncomfortable, although it's clearly poorly tended to and worn with age. It looks almost like a Christian cross, but altered with a number of words and geometric symbols inscribed upon it, as well as what look like speartips at each end of the cross.

It doesn't bother you too much, but it's still something of an eyesore, and you can feel a slight breeze on your skin as you pace around the room and the statue itself. At least you have an abundance of booze here.

By the time you and the rest of the men are done sweeping the cellar, you can hear the roar of the two Blitzes and the Wehrmacht infantry sent as backup. The civilians upstairs have elected to stay in the office, warming up by the fire in the late night.

>>21755490
Good night Herr Walter.

So, in the meantime. Who favors jury rigging a hitch for the Wagon to one of our Blitzes and hauling back that much more loot?
