Choice Text and Results
Offer to help
One of them nods and gives you a rather unpracticed looking smile. "That'd be great. We can't be everywhere at once."
"I'd take a look over there and probably in that corner. The problem spots sort of move around though, so be sure to check in tomorrow if you're up for another day."
I'm done helping
One of the guards nods. "Yeah, not as easy as it looks, is it? Thanks for the try, though."
Pass a thermos
The guards invite you in to their little circle and cheerfully make their break into a coffee break. It's amazing what a bit of coffee can do for people's spirits, even when it's awful coffee from the worst parts of Metroplex.
You found: pitted thermos
You've earned 4 XP in Will
Check their status
The guards confer among themselves for a moment, then reach a decision. "It's been pretty rough. Folks have really been breaking the place up. We could use some more help but…"
A second guard shrugs, "we can't exactly afford to pay a bunch of our buddies to come in at time and a half either."
Jump them
You charge in to the circle. They're startled for a moment by your attack, but rise up to defend themselves
Fight 3 x Dock Security
Leave them to it
You leave them be and they eventually return to their duties keeping the place secure.
