IC-THRU-Unhappy Landings(USAF Officers/Crew/Reinforcements)

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.

Applebee was badly wounded in the crash, having been flung about, crushed, and peppered with debris. He fought to stay awake as his body rebelled and tried to shut down. All around him he saw bodies strewn about in the wreckage: the dead, the dying, and the wounded. The smells of blood and gasoline hung heavily in the air, and smoke began to billow, visible through the open doorway through which Lt. Alan Curtis had been thrown.

(Greg Applebee, you have lost half or more of your current HP from a single injury, and thus risk passing out from shock. Roll Con x 5. If you succeed, you remain conscious and can act this round. If you fail, you go unconscious. Roger Coltrane may act no matter what.

If you want to try to treat someone, choose the person you're helping and make a First Aid roll. If the skill isn't on your character sheet, the base skill is 30%. If you succeed, the person gets back 1d3 HP. Amy Janssen and Larry Hendrix are both at -2 HP and will die at the end of next round unless they get back to 1 or more HP.)


In the cockpit Sergeant Hendrix rested slumped over the dashboard, his lifeblood leaking out. Captain Kennedy lay dead in the pilot's seat. Lt. Rebecca Doolittle remained strapped into her seat, still screaming hysterically. And Airman King was starting to claw his way out from under the wreckage, his eyes blazing red.

In the main compartment, Amy Janssen lay bleeding to death from multiple wounds and lacerations. Frank Hodges forced himself to his hands and knees and crawled over to her. "Amy!" he cried. He opened up her medical kit and hastily tried to halt the bleeding, but his fumbling accomplished nothing. "Don't die on me, Amy!" Cole dragged himself over and tried to help too, but with little success.

Brian Kincaid quickly undid his straps and rushed over to Hendrix. "Sarge!" he shouted, but there wasn't much he could do to help him. "Medic!"

"Medic's down too!" called Hodges. "Somebody help!"

Airman Coltrane was dazed by the impact of the crash but his training soon kicked in. He saw bodies sprawled all around him but Hodges call immediately drew his attention.

He rushed to join the others by the side of the fallen Janssen, but found it difficult to stop the bleeding.

(I've had luck like that too, but sometimes I have incredibly good luck too. It tends to be rather streaky. By the way, Coltrane is a Senior Airman - the Air Force equivalent of a Corporal. Airman is the equivalent of a Private.)

Airman King brushed the debris aside with amazing strength, especially considering the severity of his wounds, and sat up, looking around with his jaw gaping. He turned at the sound of Rebecca Doolittle's screams, but then lunged for the closer body of Hendrix. He seized the unconscious man and began to crush him.

"Hang in there, Amy," said Hodges as he desperately but unsuccessfully to save her. Tears filled his eyes as he squeezed her lifeless hand. Cole tried his best, but he too failed.

"No!" cried Kincaid. He put two bullets deep into King. The first penetrated through his helmet, and the second punctured his leg. King finally collapsed, releasing Hendrix. Somehow the tough sergeant had survived, but he wouldn't last long.

(Roger Coltrane, you may now act again. Both Amy Janssen and Larry Hendrix will die at the end of this round without help, and they may die even with help. You can only try to treat one of them, by rolling First Aid as before. If you succeed, roll 1d3 to see how many HP are recovered. Because they're both at -2 HP, it will take 3 points to save either of them.)

Coltrane frantically continued to try and resuscitate Janssen, but there was nothing he could do.

Amy Janssen expired in the arms of Frank Hodges. Powerless to save her, he closed her eyes and looked around. Sergeant Larry Hendrix had also given up the ghost. "It's too late for the dead," he said, "but we can still save the living. Let's get our unconscious comrades up and moving, then get everyone out of here. That smoke must mean there's a fire, and we don't want to be here if this chopper goes up. Someone ought to go check on the L.T. too." He took the medic's kit and crawled a few feet over, where he revived Airman Gordon Cheng, binding some of his wounds. Cheng slowly came to his senses, taking in the horrific scene.

Airman Thomas Cole followed Hodges and borrowed some medical supplies to treat Greg Applebee. He did an excellent job and mended some of the damage. Applebee also woke up.

(Gordon Cheng and Greg Applebee, you are both conscious again. You may speak this round, but you will have to wait until next round before you can move or take any other strenuous action.)

In the cockpit, Airman Brian Kincaid unstrapped Lt. Rebecca Doolittle. "Ma'am, we've got to get out of here now!" he said, grabbing her shoulders. But she remained hysterical and did not respond to him. He tried to lift her, but she was too big and his wounds too severe.

Everyone could hear the sound of vehicles approaching. Most of them stopped a short distance away, but one motorcycle rolled up until it was right near the helicopter. Nobody inside could see it through the smoke.

(Roger Coltrane, you may act now.)

The world came screaming back to Greg Applebee, whom, incidentally, also began screaming.

"Kill 'im! He's Turned!"

Greg tries half heartedly to rise, but gives up quickly.

Senior Airman Coltrane heard the motorcycle pull up outside the ruined helicopter, despite the carnage around him and the grief from the death of his friends, Coltrane was a professional and readied his rifle in preparation for whoever was outside. Coughing through the thick smoke he raised his voice to address the survivors of the crash.

"Shit...we got company!"

"Hodges is right, everybody out, now! This place is a deathtrap!"


Turning to face what was once the cockpit Coltrane noticed Airman Kincaid struggling with the hysterical lieutenant.

"Kincaid, get Doolittle under control!"

Moving to exit the downed chopper Coltrane turned back towards to troops.

"Remember where we are people, I want everyone ready for a world of shit outside this bird!"

"It's okay, guys," said Hodges to Cheng and Applebee as he helped them stand. "Kincaid took care of him. We've got to get out of here."

A tall blond man with a leather jacket stepped into the helicopter beside Roger Coltrane. Lt. Alan Curtis hobbled up behind him.

In what was left of the cockpit, Lt. Rebecca Doolittle was still screaming her head off while Brian Kincaid tried in vain to move her. Hodges turned to go help him when suddenly Captain Jacob Kennedy began to thrash around in the pilot's seat. "He's alive!" he exclaimed in disbelief, but a second later the pilot ripped his way through the straps, lumbered to his feet, and reached for Kincaid and Doolittle, his eyes bloodshot. "Look out!" Cool and collected, he turned his rifle on the captain and pulled the trigger. The bullet struck him in in the left leg, wounding him slightly.

Doolittle screamed even louder, her mind all but blown. Kincaid saw the pilot too and recoiled, terrified and out of his mind and certain he was doomed. He curled up and began licking his wounds.

Cole's eyes widened when he saw the pilot rise up and attack. He cried out in sheer terror, but went on without thinking. He shot the creature very accurately, severing the right leg. The creature reached out for its prey as it fell forward.

(Coltrane and Cheng, roll Sanity with no bonus or penalty. Sanity loss is 0/1d10 again. Applebee does not roll Sanity, as he has already lost 10 points from seeing a zombie. Coltrane lost 1 already, so if he rolls 10 for Sanity loss he will lose 9 instead. He also needs to roll against his current Sanity of 49, not his original score of 50. If you lose 5 or more, you must roll Idea, and you must fail that roll to keep from going temporarily insane.

If you remain sane, each of the three of you have one chance to act before Kennedy attacks. You have your rifles ready, so you may each fire them once. The range is point blank, so your skill is doubled, but there is no time to aim for the head and you must roll a random hit location on 1d20. He has already taken 21 damage, and a total of 19 or more further damage will stop him, as will 10 or more damage that happens to hit the head. Lt. Curtis and the stranger also may get a chance to act after they roll Sanity.)

Greg roars in defiance and opens fire with his M-16A2 5.56mm NATO assault rifle

Chance to hit zombie (120 or less?) (1d100=71)

Random Hit location: R.Leg (1d20=3)

(OOC: I'm not going to put any flavour text down because i'm not really sure what's happening. My skill got double from point blank, so I can't miss here, but I hit his leg that isn't there?)

*edit*

DMG (2d8=8)

Coltrane managed to keep his wits about him at the sight of the once dead Kennedy ripping free from his seat. He quicky fired a round at the pilot which hit his right arm but failed to stop the manic Kennedy.

(That Rifle roll was less than 1/5 of Coltrane's effective skill, making it an impale that does 4d8 damage total. Roll another 2d8 and add that to the damage you've already done. So far Kennedy has taken a total of 34 damage, so 6 or more extra damage will finish him. Even if that happens, those who haven't rolled Sanity yet will still need to do so, but they will then be free to do something besides shooting.)

"Alright lieutenant," said the man in the leather jacket, "let's pick these fuckers off and call it a bitch of a day." He raised his rifle, then froze.

Lt. Curtis remained calm and collected. "Okay, everyone, let's get out of here!" he called. The smell of jet fuel was getting stronger, and there was obviously a leak somewhere. The smoke began filtering into the compartment, and everyone knew that if the fuel caught fire the bird would go up with them in it. The leather-clad stranger stood stock still, unable to move.

Kincaid continued to cower in the corner of the cockpit, and Lt. Doolittle remained in her seat, shrieking uncontrollably. Then the corpse of Larry Hendrix began to twitch, and he sat up. His red eyes looked around and focused on his two crewmates. Kincaid paid him no heed.

"Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!" exclaimed Frank Hodges. He started to aim his rifle in their direction when Amy Janssen also started to move. Her eyes snapped open, crimson with hate, and her jaw gaped hungrily as she too began to rise. "Amy?" He retained his composure and snapped off a shot at Hendrix. He landed a devastating hit that hit him between the eyes and blew his brains out. Hendrix fell right back down, never to move again. "Yeah! Now that's what I'm talking about!"

Another man wearing a leather jacket arrived behind the first one, an AR-15 in his arms. "I'm here, bro!" he said. His eyes bulged when he saw the dead rising, and he stared in utter shock, but quickly came to his senses.

Cole, his mind already getting used to the sight of these things, fired on Janssen. He barely hit, but it was enough to cripple her right arm.

(Gordon Cheng and Roger Coltrane, roll Sanity again. It works just like the Sanity roll you just made. After that, if you remain sane, each of you and Greg Applebee may fire one shot with your rifle at point blank range at a random hit location before Amy Janssen gets to attack. If you want to do something else, she gets to go before you do. She is wearing body armor that protects her chest and abdomen for 8 points and a helmet that protects her head for 5 points.)

Gordon was too angry to think about the weird situation.
He shoot the girl and hit her in the head, and making some damage.

(That attack roll was an impale, since it was 1/5 or less of your skill of 130%. It was also a critical hit, since it was in the 1-5 range. Roll 2d8-5 and add that to the 9 damage you've already caused. If you cause a total of 10 or more, you've finished her off. Because it's a critical hit, her helmet might provide less or even no protection even if you don't do quite enough damage. There's no need for anyone else to fire if that happens, but everyone still needs to roll Sanity.)
