Description
The Much Arms, known to some as The Dulston Rose, is a pub located in the suburb of Dulston. The pub is one of the more popular bars in the Dulston Run, referring to the practice of survivors whose goal it is to consume one pint of beer in each Dulston pub in the quickest time.
Prior to the "Malton Incident" the Much Arms was considered popular among the Rock 'n Roll community during the late 1960s through to the early 1980s. Due to its proximity to the very rockin' Mogridge Drive many musicians could be spotted there relaxing between their soundchecks and showtimes for which it became popular. The pub had two bars, a heated courtyard, stage, and a small basement. It was also popular with the biker community.
In 1978 the pub was renamed "The Shake, Rattle, and Roll", borrowing from the song of the same name made popular in 1954 by Big Joe Turner. Following a refit in 2000, the pub reopened once again as "The Much Arms" to commemorate the turning of the century. It remains a semi-popular pub for the intoxicated survivors and zombies in Dulston to this day.
Noted NecroTech scientist, Caleb Usher was spotted drinking at the pub on a few separate occasions. Bartenders, namely those random survivors who like working behind the bar, reported that Caleb is usually boisterous and offers other survivors free drinks. The fact that all drinks are technically free, if you can find them, does not seem to diminish his enthusiasm.
Barricade Policy
This building must never be more than Very Strongly (VS+2) barricaded. This barricade level has been set forth in the Dulston Optimal Defense Diagram, a strategic barricade policy that is enforced by all member groups of the Dulston Alliance. This building's purpose is to serve as an access point for all survivors and a safehouse for inexperienced survivors who do not possess the Free Running skill. Visitors are requested to never barricade beyond Very Strongly unless the building is currently under siege from 5 or more zombies. Note that any survivors associated with the Dulston Alliance have the right to lower the barricades back to Very Strongly if they discover them raised higher without just cause.

With the hope that the building will hold while power is restored, the Much Arms may soon find itself to be yet another safe spot for survivors to organize and recoup. While under attack the building has been temporarily set to EHB in hopes that it will provide enough protection until power can be restored and a viable defense of the area can be put forth. Once held the building will be returned to its VSB level.
