Okhrana headquarters
It was well into the night when you, received a letter from Igor Vyacheslavovich asking to meet with him at the headquarters a soon as possible that the matter could not wait, it needed to be discussed in secret and that Brusilov would come too, that worried him considering that since you met him Igor had been a calm man in regards to Okhrana matter yet he seemed worried so you headed out as fast as he could.
When he arrived Brusilov was already there and gave a salute which you returned while both headed inside, where you found Igor questioning a redheaded man, when he noticed you both him and the man looked in your direction and also saluted you.
After some pleasantries where exchanged Igor told the man to introduce himself and you learned his name was Vasily Romanoff who then proceeded to talk about what he discovered while undercover in the grope known as Narodnaya Volya.
He talks about a plan they have to ambush you either on the streets or by infiltrating the palace he listed the members of said organization and their involvement in your grandfather's murder. When he finished you thanked him and ask him to name you a reward for his service that he could decide later, so with the matter settled you turned to see an angry Brusilov cursing with words you didn't even know could be used as curses and a stoic but worried Igor.
Brusilov proposed sending men from the army and arresting them on a raid and then having a trial to show that you were just and respecting some of their rights, this could backfire given that they are hidden on a residential area and collateral damage could infuriate the people of the city. Igor, on the other hand, handed the option to you considering the methods he could employ were ones that would be noticed by the population risking an increase in tension.
So here you were planning how to stop your own assassination.
[] going loud
Brusilov plan in which he proposed sending some army men capturing the plotters and them proceed to have a trial in which you can be painted in a good light respecting the prisoners' rights, the the downside of these is that there could be collateral damage in regards to civilians and your enemies will use that to make the people angry.
Chance of success: 80%
Rewards: public trial, risk of revolt reduced (50% chance of getting info on other revolutionary cells).
Failure: The risk of revolt increased.

a couple of things on why Igor didn't put a forward plan first is that I come from the alternate-history forum where putting something like people disappearing will get the mods attention and second is history with Argentina dictatorship and the disappearing of 30000 men and woman with the appropriation of children (which was done because of suspected association with political party or other things that could harm the regime). So I will ask the mods about it if I can put an option and if they okay it ill try to put one forward and edit the chapter if they allow it, if i don't have an answer with the mods the chapter stays like these

Damn, I'm really liking the quest so far. It's easy to tell Carvacho has done a lot of research

on quest dificulty and prologue ending

ok folks a couple of things on the quest that im going to give you as a heads up
first the quest right now its on easy mode, its going to get harder as you advance crit will be need higher rolls to be achived, actions will have a lower chance of succes and event rolls are going to start happening.
Some of these are going to be implemented before the prologue ends in a gradual manner, so no theres not going to be a 10% chance of success next turn.
Right now here is no money or economic system for two reasons the first im not knolegeble enough in russian economic from the late 19 century, a fact that im trying to remedy as fast as i can, the second reason these is my first quest im trying to give you guys a good one but im learning as i go so if i get a good sistem going im implementing it in the 1890 turn if not when the prologue ends.
last thing is that the end of the prologue will be in the 31 of december 1899 starting the next stage from 1900. the action of the constitution will push you towards the prologues endgame so i recomend you do it near the end if you want to have more advanteges but not too late since it has two follow ups after it.
(im on my phone so grammar and other mistakes will be corrected later)

Okhrana headquarters
You agree with Brusilov on the basic concept of the plan, the conspirators have to be captured to show that you are respecting their rights at a trial but you request more men so that a part of them can check the rest of the complex ensuring no Volya sympathizer escapes while also moving civilians out of the area, the rest will fight and capture the enemy.
With the planning done Brusilov leaves so he can start informing the soldiers who are going on the raid. As you sit in the office the only thing you can think about is how heavy the burden of leadership really is, your grandfather did a good job and you like to think that your father would have done well but they are both dead now and it's your turn at leading Russia through these uncertain times
(This chapter is merely a prelude to the raid that's where the rolls will come in which I am currently writing)

The Raid
22 of June 1887
Your men arrived near the complex early in the morning without the Volya noticing them which allowed them to set a perimeter in the streets, so no member could escape. Of the fifty men that arrived ten stayed behind to cover the exits while the other forty were divided into two groups of twenty-one to clear the house next to the targets.
Group 1 who was in charge of entering the known Volya house went first, unfortunately, something went wrong because as soon as they entered the house they were greeted with bullets which killed two and wounded a third man, lucky for your men they were quick to react and fire back at them killing five of them wounding two more.
They proceed to split 10 up the stairs the rest stayed searching the rest of the floor and watching the two wounded Volya and their own man. The group upstairs found 3 more men thanks to the fact it was early and their confusion your soldiers managed to subdue them without an incident. The ones who stayed on the ground floor didn't find anything else.
Group 2 had a more difficult time, the two houses they were supposed to check did contain enemy fighters who were alerted thanks to the gunshots but your men were better so they managed to wound two, capture four without injuries, killing three with only getting three of your soldiers injured. They also report one civilian family who weren't involved with the organization. Only one man managed to escape jumping out from a window but was then caught by the ones who were guarding the streets
Now that they were caught the only thing that was left for the courts to judge them
Your units
Fifty infantrymen (2 killed and 4 wounded only 1 who will not survive injuries)
Enemy units
19 Narodnaya Volya fighters (8 killed, 7 captured without injuries, 4 wounded 2 will not survive)
[] Ready, aim, and fire
These men attempted and committed high treason by not only training to kill you but also succeeding in the assassination of your grandfather Alexander II they will get the firing line.
Chance of success: 100%
Reward: the conspirators are sentenced to a firing line
[] Katorga
These men deserved nothing less than to live the rest of their life in the frozen land of Siberia send them to the Katorga.
Chance of success: 100%
Reward: the conspirators are sent to Katorga where the will work for the rest of their lives
