Tbh i didn't even know there WERE Pawns or hero units. And is that supposed to be 'protagnists' or 'prologues' ?
But if you think we should know how they work fire away.

Pawns: the notable foot soldiers and agents of our plot who mechanically give small roll bonus's and or actions to assist.
Hero Units: Active powerful agents/Characters that you can use for missions and adventures.
Protege: A personally molded Hero unit/ Freind/ Number Two, selected to be the player character should our character die. It is a measure to make sure that if you choose your revenge does not die with you.
It's supposed to be Protege. Sorry

So this plan is about making friends in places high and low, because our enemies are powerful, and we are weak alone. Obviously we don't give a shit about Prince Constantine, but he's one of the few people in our sphere who might be able to protect us from That Bastard Pavlovich. Getting an in with him by giving him a private tour of The Casimir and waxing poetic about what it might mean for the future of Russia and Poland, not to mention the rest of our grand designs, could buy us the insulation we need to build some momentum.
We also need friends in the garrison and the underworld to make evacuating our people safer/smoother when the Warsaw Uprising goes belly up. I was originally going to go Full Support for the uprising, but since Pavlov's Bitch is just looking for an excuse to cull us and we have no protection as yet, coupled with the family history of helping people escape and our own skills, I think helping with evacuation planning is more suited.
Lastly, consistency is key when trying to make worldshaking inventions, and the text calls out our fitness as a grave issue, and it's important to be able to run for our life if we need to.

Rolled: D100 => 5+21+10 (The Casimir)+5 =41
Prince Constantine for his part looked bored at you. It was a kindness that you think that he had only the time to seemingly belittle you.
Then the Baron's men held you in place. "Jakob Puch…Russia's finest Engineer."
Ahh, he was going on a power trip. Best prepare yourself for…
The Garrison was there with full Rifles and a dug grave. Ahh, so he was subjecting you to this?
"A Mock Execution? Without a trial? Seems a bit harsh even for you?" You said as the Prince nodded and smacked you in the face with his walking stick.
He knew your value…everyone did, even with Casimir safely away, the broadsheets and images that you made to champion it were common knowledge now.
"Your right to your tongue is only allowed due to its need to explain things for the future." He said.
This was a forced attempt at trying to gain submission, to cow you into a feeling of weakness.
"If you wish for anything…why did you waste time and effort in this attempt at intimidation?" You said.
"Because you represent something that cannot be allowed in this age. A Competence of sorts that is…by its nature destructive." He said. "You are a man of competence, dignity, and intelligence and those qualities will inevitably lead you astray if they haven't already."
"I think that the work of your dogs has done it already." You said looking at the men holding you.
"Quite…but your family were traitors, arming and supplying possible insurrectionists and guerilla fighters, worse they broke the law of the land by consorting with Jews and helping serfs leave the land they are bound to. They had to die…and the Baron has been most effective at making that matter known across your homeland." He said.
"So… you're going to get on with it?" You said.
"No…because those qualities I have mentioned above have left us with little evidence to use against you. I will find them eventually but the matter is shall we say left in limbo." He said.
"Have you always been like this to people you don't like?" You said.
"Only to those that are … delightfully intriguing." He said. "How much do you want to buy Casimir from you?"
"I'm not selling, and I doubt even with all your wealth you could afford it. Same with the designs" You said.
"Are you denying me?" He said.
"I am denying you an untested and unproven machine that could very well kill you." You said.
"Ahh, I see. I will be ready to receive the completed product." He said. "Throw him in the River…the message has been received."
You were thrown into the Vistula and had trash thrown at you, as you crawled out of the River.
Reward: Prince Constantine hates you, and wishes you to work for the Russian Government as an Engineer in Moscow. He also recognizes you as one of the most dangerous Poles in the Kingdom.
Gain +1 Charisma.

Captain Piotr Wysocki looked at you as you sighed, shivering in the Tavern near the river.
"Come to arrest me?" You said as he patted your back and looked at your clothes drying by the fire, leaving you in your skivvies with a blanket.
"On the contrary…how did your meeting go?" He said giving a wave and an order.
"Terrible, but I'm not dead, so there's that." You said. "More than I can say for many others that cross his path."
"Alas, I have grand hopes for this situation." He said. "There is a change coming."
"Of that, I have no doubt." You said. "Peace and Safety on your grand campaign Captain."
"And to you your pursuit of knowledge Polymath." The Captain said. "Should you ever need me or my men…do ask, but make sure it does not endanger either of our careers."
"I think what we both want is a mess of a thing that will endanger more than our careers." You said.
"That is true…fair tidings."He said as he left.

"What do you want?" He said smiling as you handed a gold coin.
"I need your services and networking skills…for the more nefarious business of war." You said.
He nodded. "I see, well, this is an expensive and risky proposition, with that network that Baron dog left up, I'm going to need something more than word and good faith. It's bad enough to be even talking about the matter your considering."
"Better a Polish state than a Russian one for your kind, If history is anything to go off of." You said.
"Mayhapse, but it is a risk." He said. "Should anything go wrong…save us."
"I already have made plans and arrangements for such an issue." You said handing over a passport.

[]Speak to the Sjem: The Senate is here, perhaps with your skills you can perhaps talk to them about policy or at least a plan to drum up support.
[]Fortify the University: The university Staff and Students have all fallen in and have joined the Uprising.
[]Reinforce the Escape Routes: Best to make sure that these don't fall apart. You may need it.
AN: And so the Uprising has begun!

Well I thought the actions and their consequences flowed into each other fairly well. I thought the scene with the captain could be a bit longer, but I liked the scene itself. The scene with the prince was great too, what a bastard. You really like melodrama huh? It's not so common, but it's not bad.
One question, the option I do like to pick is Contact the Sjem, but I want to know if Jakob thinks this will let him retain deniability around the collusion with he uprising.
I think we should stick to our strengths, and although that exercise roll was amazing, we are still much more capable at moving society with words than swords.
Also... Did you steal The Magoose Dice?!

Historically when the Uprising failed the Diaspora was unable to flee with the captured Gold across the border into friendly government accounts because their routes were compromised, and then other stuff.

you rolled the uprising!
Nothing more.
Considering that we are on a watchlist.
Deniability was never in the cards even if we didn't do anything, we're a known subversive.
