IC-OVER-Storming the Castle(All but Dawkins/Erica/Kathryn)

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.

Alvarez saw this as a challange and like all challanges he decided to meet it like his old drill sgt had told him to do. He took some steps back and then performed a running leap at the pole to climb to the highway. He just about got up to the top but then fell back to the pavement. "Damm it maybe I should just take the car back to find another way around."

-I don't think it's a good idea that you go away, you may find more infected. Well, by the way, there is 3 persons who are in a van, with some infected trying to attacked them, i think i will help them.

(The three people are on top of the RV, not inside it. An RV is a mobile home, much bigger than a van.)

On the road-
Alvarez slid back down the makeshift rope and found himself on ground level again. Fortunately, he was unhurt.

(Alvarez, roll Climb at -10% if you want to try to climb up again. Flynn, you may make another Resistance roll looking for 45 or less, or you may do something else such as approach the zombies. Remember that your pistol's magazine has been about halfway used up, so you might want to exchange it for a full magazine before engaging the zombies. You may do this and move closer to them at the same time, but if you're trying to pull Alvarez up to the highway you won't be able to.)

OOC: Thanks! I didn't know the difference.

Flynn tried to no avail to pull Alvarez again.

Alvarez tried to climb once more but again he failed to do so. "you know maybe if I take off my armor right now and throw it up to you then climb I can do better. Once up there I can put it back on and as long as we stay back the zombies will not attack us for now right?"

(If Alvarez is going to take off his armor, that will take one whole minute, during which he would not get to attempt to climb. It would be very hard to throw it up there, but he could tie it to the cables and Flynn could pull it up. In the following round, Alvarez could then try to climb at 40% instead of 30% and Flynn would also get another chance to pull him up. Once up top, it would take him another full minute to put the armor back on. It will probably be easier just to keep trying to climb.)

On the road-
Flynn could see that the zombies were still circling the mobile home, but they could not reach the people on top. The man and the two women definitely seemed to have noticed him, and were watching him with a mixture of curiosity, wariness, and hope. Alvarez remained stuck below.

(Flynn and Alvarez, you have the same options as last round.)

Flynn decided to try one more time, and this time he succeeded!
-Alvarez, you really need to make a diet!

OCC: It was time :P !

On the road-
With Flynn's help, Alvarez was able to make it up to the elevated highway. Both of them were about two hundred yards north of the RV, which was pulled over on the southbound shoulder on the opposite side of the road. The seven zombies had taken no notice of either of them yet, and instead were trying to get at the man and the two women standing on top of its roof.

(You may both approach the zombies now if you wish. At the current range, Alvarez may shoot with his M-4 at half skill, with the -5% penalty for a headshot applied after the skill is halved. It will be almost impossible to hit with a pistol from here. The M-4 has a base range of 90 yards, or 180 with precision aim. That is how close you'll have to get to use your full skill. The Beretta has a base range of 15 yards, or 30 with precision aim. Between 30 and 60 yards, you would be at half skill. If you're more than 60 yards away but within 90 yards, you would be at 1/4 skill. Again, the -5% penalty is applied after taking a fraction of your skill. Beyond 90 yards it will be almost impossible to hit a zombie in the head with a pistol. Let me know how close you two want to get if you approach.)

On the road-
As Flynn got closer to the zombies, he was able to make out more details and the sight shocked him as it always did.

(Flynn, roll Sanity. You have already lost 4 Sanity points from seeing zombies, so any loss of more than 6 counts as only 6 because you can only lose 10 points for seeing them in a reasonable period of time. Even if you stay sane, don't do anything else until I get a post for Alvarez and I post an update afterwards. You might want to only close to 30 yards, since you can still use your full skill at that range. Alvarez already lost 10 Sanity recently for seeing zombies, so he does not need to roll Sanity.)

OOC: Why don't i have such good scores when i really need? :shock: Anyway, Flynn will go only to 30 yards.


Flynn was totally blasés to the infected, and wasn't affected by their sight.

Alvarez kept his M-4 at the ready and walked to where Flynn was.

(Actually, your really did need to get a good roll here. This would be a bad time to go insane, and since your Sanity isn't so high to begin with, you need to keep every point you can.

Alvarez and Flynn are moving to this thread: Middle of Nowhere. You may read the earlier posts in the thread, but you are not required to do so.)
