IC-OVER-Reunion(Flynn/Kathryn/Jack/Emily/Lauren/Kyle)

As the afternoon gets underway, the survivors from the T-Bone have been split up. The helicopter group must land at an airfield halfway to Omaha for refueling. Those still on the surface try desperately to defend the motel, while those trapped underground fight for their lives as they search for a way out.

(Kyle's Sanity dropped by 10, so it's now 24. He did not go temporarily insane, so he's still free to act and still has a shot coming this round if he wants it. If he won't target his father, he can shoot at Alvarez instead.)

(OOC: Didn't you say anything higher than 5 on the SAN loss roll would be considered 5 because he'd already lost so much SAN to zombies? Or am I getting mixed up there?)

(You're right, I'd forgotten that. I'd just woken up and hadn't remembered. Kyle does have 29 Sanity, and I'll fix that now. Go ahead and take your shot if you want.)

Kyle still wasn't sure about his dad, so took a shot at the other zombie. The bullet whizzed by, failing to connect.

Rushing forward with the med-kit in hand, Jack retakes his place in the driver's seat and throws the RV in reverse, aiming the hulking vehicle towards the prone corpse of Flynn.

"Lauren, tell them we will try and take out zombies. By the time we get the ladder down and all three of us get down, they could be on us. Kyle can take them out from up here. That will allow us time to get the fuel for the RV we need."
Hearing Kyle take a shot, Emily turned towards Kyle: "Just take your time, Kyle."

OOC: Just a thought but isn't Kyle at PB range to hit the zombies on the porch roof?

(No, he's not at point blank range. That would require him to be within his DEX in feet from his target. His DEX is 11, but the porch roof is about 15 feet below the attic window.

Jack already acted last round trying to apply First Aid, so he cannot take the action you just posted so soon. I'll count it as his action for the coming round instead, though something else does happen before he can do it.)


In the attic-
Kyle's shot hit Alvarez, but it did not do enough damage to put him down. When he tried to draw back the bolt he realized that the magazine was now empty. Both zombies on the porch roof crawled over onto the roof of the RV.

(Kyle, your rifle is empty. You may reload it this round, but you may not also fire. Emily and Lauren, if either of you go to the window and look out of it, you must roll Sanity as described above. If you want to open the attic door, you'll need to roll STR x 5. If you both work together, you may add your STR scores together and roll against that multiplied by 5. Kyle may assist too, but not if he also reloads. Any STR total of 20 or more will automatically succeed without having to roll. If more than one of you team up to open the door, anyone in the team may make the roll.)

In front of the farmhouse-
As Kathryn continued working on her pistol, she heard the crawlers on the porch roof clamber onto the roof of the vehicle. Jack hurried to the driver's seat, shifted into reverse, and backed down the driveway again. He heard a crunching sound as he backed over Flynn and damaged him somewhat. The jolt knocked Lloyd off of the RV's roof. He fell to the ground extremely hard and then began crawling towards the driver's door.

(Jack, you've already acted this round, so you may take no action other than speaking. Kathryn, you are free to act, but you may not drive - Jack has the wheel and he's already driven this turn. Neither of you needs to roll Sanity, as you've already seen these zombies before.)

(Assuming the RV came to a stop just now.)
Kat listens to the sounds from the vehicle´s roof. When, if, the sound indicates something is crawling down on her side of the RV, or when the thing shows it´s ugly face, she unlocks the door. Then gets ready to kíck the door violently to get the zombie to fall off of the RV´s side.
If the Thing remains in position up on the roof, she´ll continues fixing the gun!

(You're right, precision aim doubles the point blank range, which would make it 22 feet in this case. Alvarez was at point blank range last round when Kyle fired, and the roll was good enough to hit. Kyle, go ahead and roll 1d6+2 to see how much damage you did to his head. It won't be enough to kill him, but it will soften him up at least. Zombies on the ground are not close enough for the point blank bonus to apply, however, nor are zombies on the roof of the RV at its current location. At any rate, Kyle's rifle is empty now, so he cannot fire this round, but he can reload. I'll edit my description to reflect that his shot hit.)

(OOC: Here you go. Since the zombies don't seem to have reacted to him, he'll go by what Emily and Lauren are doing - if they're trying to open the attic door he'll put his gun down for a moment to assist, with a STR of 16, if they're not he'll concentrate on reloading and shooting at zombies.)

(He's already backed up all the way to the east-west road. If he wants to go farther, he'll probably have to turn the corner, but he's gone as far as he can this round since you've already given your action in advance. The only thing behind the RV is a cornfield.)

"Just keep on shooting, Kyle." Emily says.

(Lloyd fell off of the RV's roof, but Alvarez is still on top of it.)

In the attic-
Kyle finished reloading his .22 rifle and chambered a round. As he did, he saw Alvarez drag himself across the roof of the RV with his arms, toward the front.

(Kyle, you cannot see Alvarez any more after the events below, but you can still target Lloyd. You do not get the point blank bonus, as he is nearly 20 yards away. If you hit him, you will do enough damage to finish him off.)

On the road-
Lloyd crawled after the RV as Jack backed it up all the way to the road. Before he could turn the corner, both he and Kathryn watched in terror as Alvarez reached over the top of the windshield and brought his fists down on it, shattering it completely. Broken glass flew as he slid into the RV through the now open front, landing between Jack and Kathryn!

(Jack and Kathryn, roll Luck to see if you get hit by any of the broken glass. Lloyd will reach the RV when it's his turn unless one of the two of you drives away from him or Kyle finishes him off. If you do drive, indicate which way you're going. The back of the RV is facing the road, which goes east and west. You will have to drive around the corner in reverse. There is no need to make a Drive Auto roll for this, but Alvarez will be able to attack you afterwards. You will get to Dodge, however. If you attack Alvarez hand to hand, you will not get to Dodge. He has taken 5 damage to the head, so 5 more will finish him. Jack, you still have the -10 penalty to attack with the crowbar, with an additional -5 for targeting the head. Kathryn would only have the -5 penalty for targeting the head. Jack, you may also use the crowbar to try to parry Alvarez's bite by rolling against your Large Club skill, again with the -10 penalty. You may parry if you attack, but not if you're trying to drive away, as you won't have your hands free. If you retreat into the interior of the RV, Alvarez will not be able to attack you this round. Kathryn, you may keep working on your pistol while retreating. It will take 2 more rounds to clear it.)

"Sheeit!" Jacks yells more in surprise than pain as he's showered in glass. Throwing the RV into park, he retreats hastily to the back of the RV, medikit and crowbar in hand.

Whispering "Goodbye dad," Kyle took aim with the rifle once more. Despite his reservations, his aim was true, though the bullet seemed to bounce off a bit of skull, doing minimal damage.
