>>6113952[The aptitude check is just for a buff to let you get through a mundane task quickly. You can complete the task no matter what, theoretically, just don't chop your foot off. Chance is both aproblem, and not a problem at all. In real life you would't "fail" to dig a hole because of a setback, you'd just finish the job over a longer time and be more tired.]
>So, not much experience, eh? well, this won't be too hard to do. It's mostly a nuesance job, that's why we're looking to change over to barrels. Anyhow, be careful, and i you need something, I'm going back in there. Oh, and your meal and sleeping arrangements ill make sure you've got a blanket and ill tell the cook to get you a portion once you're ready.He waves his hand and is gone.
You realize that, no, in fact you don't know much about plumbing or construction, but you remember an addage, that 'you measure twice and cut once.' In fact, the fact that the Merchant left you to the job without supervision, is, in a way encouraging. You got the job because no one wanted to do it, it can't be too complicated. Laborious, but not complex.
First you find a level surface and a place for the hole and one for the dirt you'll pull up [trouble avoid +1]. Then find a bucket and an extension cord, that should help in pulling up the dirt. You examine the existing latrine, a stinking box over a pit. You notice that the whole thing is built on a single platform, a wood Pallet, and can be moved as a single unit. You don't even have to plan the size of the hole from your own reckoning, you can just use another pallet for a diameter guide [+1]. You figure the shovel is about 4 feet long, or close enough, and so you mark off your dig area and focus your mind [+1] trying to picture your task.
>[focus, like breathing, only lasts for one turn]You have 3 actions
You can Dig the hole, stretch, pace yourself, breath, or your own idea.
[4th, 3rd and 2nd digit determine success] 1-7, 8-0f
