IC-THRU-The Siege(All but Luke)

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.

On the Roof-

Black's next shot hits the runner by the NW corner. It goes down without a head.

In the Comm Room-

Rameriz isn't pleased by the fact that they wont be getting reinforcements for atleast and hour but doesn't say anything.

(Like I said before, the runner - and all zombies that have already reached the motel - cannot be seen from the roof or the balcony because they overhang the ground. I'll count that kill against one of the walkers 7 yards southwest of the motel, since they're the closest ones you can see. The other one has taken 7 damage to the head from Malanowski's shot. There also remain five zombies visible at 15 yards from the motel.)

On the motel roof-
Cole took a shot at the zombie that Malanowski had wounded, hitting it and splintering its skull. Ernest Granger fired at another zombie, missing by only a few feet. The other five zombies that everyone on the roof could see continued their advance. The two with missing legs closed to within ten yards of the motel, and the three still on their feet were now just seven yards away. The men on the roof could feel it start to shake slightly beneath their feet. It was the start of another tremor, much like the one they had felt not so long ago.

(Everyone except Ernest Granger may fire one shot this round at one of the remaining zombies. If you wish to move to some other part of the roof you may do so, provided you do not shoot. All of you are in the middle of the west side of the roof. You can move to the east side near the top of the ladder, or to any of the corners of the roof. You can also attempt to climb down to the balcony as described above, but remember the risks involved!)

East of the motel-
Dr. Dale Owens climbed up the ladder to the balcony next. It shook as he did, but not enough to put him in any danger. Lt. Blanco and Zorie Spooner also noticed the ground begin to tremble. "Not again!" moaned Zorie. Lt. Blanco finally finished clearing her jammed pistol.

Cheng and Applebee fled from the zombies that had been attacking them along the south side of the motel and reached the southeast corner. The nearest two zombies were only five yards behind them, but they were badly damaged. A third one was crawling a couple of yards behind those two.

(Cheng and Applebee, you may fire at the zombies if you wish this round, but if you fail to kill either of the two closest ones, they will get to attack you. Applebee, if you hit with the flamethrower, roll 1d3 to see how many zombies you hit and then roll 2d6 damage for each. Nobody else may shoot at these three zombies, as they're not in anyone else's line of sight yet. You may retreat further instead, in which case you'll be far enough away in the following round to fire safely.)

On the motel balcony-
David had already slung his shotgun in favor of his pistol. He only had one full magazine, so he needed to make every shot count. He took aim at the head of the zombie closest to the southwest corner and squeezed off two rounds, hitting with one and doing moderate damage. Amanda reached his side. Reacting calmly, she unshouldered her carbine.

On the east side of the balcony, Dr. Owens swung over the rail from the ladder. Kincaid ran north and reached the northeast corner, and was able to view the north side of the balcony. Halfway down it he saw the ammo crate resting on the floor, the barrel of an M-249 SAW poking out of the open box. Another SAW was visible all the way at the other end, attached to the railing of the northwest corner.

(Kincaid, you may reach either of the two SAWs and take it this round, but you may not also fire it. If you take the SAW in the ammo crate, you may also take up to 10 of the 5.56mm NATO magazines in the crate while you're there. While the SAWs are both currently loaded with a belt, they also accept the standard 30-round magazines should the belt run out - they'll just need to be reloaded a lot more often! There are no additional belts in the ammo crate. If you decide to go for the SAW on the opposite corner, you'll be stuck with just the ammo in its belt until you have a chance to retrieve some magazines.)

In the comm room-
"I could tell you what you want to hear," replied Carmichael, "or I can tell you the truth. Your choice, Lieutenant."

The MP-5 and 9mm magazines that had been placed on a table began to vibrate and slide a few inches over. Everyone felt the ground start to shake a little. "Sir, we're experiencing another seismic event," Curtis said. "Has the nuke been detonated?"

"The detonation is due to happen in less than a minute, but it hasn't happened yet. You're far enough away from it that you wouldn't feel a thing anyway. It's a low-yield warhead, intended to just destroy the missile base."

West of the motel-
Hodges retreated some fifteen yards to the north as the ground began to shake so that he'd still have a line of sight on the zombies on the west side of the motel without running into the few still coming across the parking lot. Ortega started to follow him, but he quickly realized that while he could outrun Hodges if he chose, neither of them could outrun the runner that was still attacking him. Desperately he turned to face it and give his man a chance to get away. He fired a burst into the ghoul with devastating effect. All three rounds struck home on its right side, ripping into a leg, an arm, and its belly. And yet it still did not stop the thing, which still managed to bite him, sinking its fangs deep into his right arm. Ortega screamed in agony and terror. His mind collapsed in on itself, and he knew he was done for. He remained frozen in place, paralyzed by fear.

The other zombies continued their relentless assault. The walker that had slain Wallace kept chewing on him, while the other two attacked the helpless medic. The one that had brought him down crushed him nearly to death, but its jaws failed to close on him again. The other one nearly bit him, but its lack of coordination caused it to miss.

(Hodges, you may safely fire at one of the zombies at the northwest corner. This is normal range, not point blank. The runner will be destroyed if it takes 6 more damage, whether or not you hit the head. One of the walkers on Phillips has taken 9 damage to the head, but the other two walkers will require a full 10 to the head to kill. If you miss, or if you a fire a burst and you don't hit with all 3 bullets, roll Luck. Nobody else is in a position to shoot at these four zombies.)

Lining up another decayed face in his scope's crosshairs, Airman Malanowski fires at the least damaged, walking zombie northwest of the motel.

"Fuck me!" he curses as the rifle jams, throwing it down in disgust.

West of the Motel:
Applebee squeezes the trigger of the flamethrower to the hiss of pressurized gas and an endless string of valgarity and broken english.

On the Motel Balcony:
Kincaid kneels down in front of the ammo crate, breathing hard he retrieves the M-249 and 10 magazines that are quickly shoved into all available pockets.

(OOC: Hodges is going to shoot at the runner that took down Ortega. Then he will fire on the other 3.)
After retreating to a safe distance, Frank spun around and took aim at the runner attacking the stricken Ortega. The round struck the fiend in the side of the head, blowing the side of it's head off. The creature fell to the ground.
With grim determination, Frank trained his rifle on the other three runners feeding on his friends.

On the motel roof-
Black and Sheen eliminated the two standing zombies to the northwest. Luke plugged the one to the southwest, finishing it. Cole fired at one of the crawlers and missed. Ernest Granger ejected his spent casing and began to reload his rifle.

On the motel balcony-
David fired two shots at a crawler's head, hitting with the first and missing by inches with the second. The shot that did hit did only minor damage. Amanda fired twice, and while she hit with her first shot, the second jammed her carbine. At least the shot that did hit had been deadly.

Dr. Dale Owens ran south along the east side of the balcony, reaching the southeast corner.

East of the motel-
While Cheng continued running into the southeast part of the parking lot, Applebee stood his ground and pointed his flamethrower at the zombies pursuing him, but nothing came out of the nozzle. He looked on horrified as the two walking zombies caught up to him. One of them tackled him to the ground and bit him while the second missed. Applebee was in intense pain as the zombie's teeth pierced his right leg and punctured his femoral artery, but only for a few seconds. He lost consciousness and began to bleed out. The crawling zombie was only a couple of yards behind him.

Zorie Spooner kept her cool, drew her pistol, and started shooting at the zombies on Applebee. She hit the one that had just bitten him in the right thigh, and it stopped moving and released the unconscious man. Luckily, the stray round didn't hit the man she was trying to save.

Lt. Blanco also reacted calmly and fired two shots. The first missed, but the second just barely clipped the zombie, though it was enough to put it down. The first bullet had just barely missed Applebee. "If we hurry, we can still save him!" she shouted.

(Cheng, you may shoot once at the crawler that is heading for Applebee. Nobody else can see that one, and it's the only one in your line of sight. Any hit to the head will finish it off.)

West of the motel-
Ortega remained motionless when Hodges took down the zombie that had just bitten him. One of the walkers on Phillips squeezed the life out of him, and he finally expired. It and its companion began to feast on his corpse, while the third remaining walker chewed on Wallace some more. The crawler made its way across the asphalt toward the macabre buffet and was now just five yards off.

The tremor built in intensity and soon became much more violent than the one ten minutes ago had been. The ground shook and the asphalt near the southwest corner suddenly broke apart as something pushed through it from underneath. A massive form burst out from the ground and rose straight up into the air over twenty feet! It look like a gigantic segmented worm, its muscular and enormous body coated in slime, but its head resembled a squid more closely. Eight tentacles wriggled, surrounding the head.

(Hodges, roll Sanity. Remember your bonus. Sanity loss is 1d3/1d20. If you do not go temporarily insane, you may attack or do something else. You are the only one who can see the three zombies at the northwest corner. You can also see the crawler five yards west of the corner, but so can the others. If you attack the worm with any missile weapon, you get +20 to hit due to its enormous size, in addition to any bonus from firing a burst if you choose to do so.)

On the motel roof-
The six men on the west side of the roof stared in awe at the monstrosity that had just emerged from the ground.

(Everyone on the roof, roll Sanity. Again, Sanity loss is 1d3/1d20. If you do not go temporarily insane, you may either attack or do something else. As above, you also get the +20 to hit if you attack the worm due to the creature's size. You may instead target the crawler if you wish. Luke, you may use any of your guns. If you fire the shotgun, you're close enough to do 4d6 damage. Black, you may also use any of your weapons if you stay sane. Sheen, you may not fire the M-24, as it has a rate of fire of 1/2 and you fired it last round. You may attack with one of your other weapons, or you may chamber the next bullet so that you can fire the M-24 next round. If you use your pistol, you'll only get one shot this round. Malanowski, your M-14 is jammed, so you may not fire it. You may try to clear the jam by rolling Mechanical Repair or Rifle, whichever is higher. If you succeed, roll 1d6. This is how many full rounds it will take to clear it. You may use one of your other weapons instead, but you'd only get one shot with a pistol. Cole will be able to fire in the unlikely event that he doesn't go insane, but Ernest Granger must spend this coming round reloading his rifle.)

On the motel balcony-
Kincaid held the SAW at the ready when he heard the ground breaking to the south and west.

(You may make it to either the northwest or northeast corner this round, and a little beyond that point to the south. If you head west, you'll see the worm and must roll Sanity as described above, but you will not be able to attack this round.)

In the comm room-
"What the-" started Lt. Curtis. "What's going on out there?"

Lt. Doolittle looked nervous as she worked on the M-4. She was mostly done with her repairs.

(Nobody in the comm room can see what's going on outside. If you leave the room, roll Sanity as described above for seeing the worm, but you will not be able to attack this round.)

"Unfuckingbelievable," Malanowski mutters under his breath, eyes wide with awe.

Taking a knee, the embattled airman pops open a LAW and fires at the nightmarish behemoth but the adrenalin coursing through his system makes his aim shaky.

West of the motel-
Unfortunately, Frank had already retreated fifteen yards north of the motel, and there were no parked cars this close, nor was there any real cover unless he retreated west into the tall grass.

(You may go ahead and roll Throw to lob a grenade, at -10 due to your armor but with +20 due to its size, for a net +10. If you miss, roll Luck. You may instead reach the grass this round if you wish.

I'll need a Luck roll from Malanowski too.)

(He's not actually dead yet, but that bite will seal his fate eventually even if his life is saved.)

On the motel balcony-
Since Kincaid was on the north side of the balcony, the building itself was blocking his view to the southwest. He would have to move to the northwest corner to see what caused the noise.

"Well, that's not something you see every day..." Luke said as he stared at the creature. He quickly broke free of his nearly frozen state however, and quickly grabbed his shotgun. He was skeptical it would do much, but it was better than standing around like a retard.

He aimed just above what he assumed to be the base of the gigantic head and did what normally would be massive damage (4d6=21).

[color=#olive]"A bigass thing came out of the ground, be ready to move the fuck out of the building if need be. Be careful there are a shitload of zombies out here still!"[/color] Luke quickly barked down his radio "If you can, focus on it with grenades and your bazookas I saw some of you were lugging around."
Locked
