IC-THRU-Blue Plate Special(Luke/Melinda/all RR but Amanda)

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.

(Joe has stopped the truck so Colin has a better chance to hit. He can still fire if you want.)

(Yes, I know Colin already fired. I was saying that Joe can still shoot this round, though he is at half skill for now.)

(I didn't get another post for Joe Soarez, so I'll just assume he held his fire as he intended. With only a 25% chance to hit, it would probably be waste of ammo to fire then anyway. Now he can use his full skill.

Walkers from the east: 23 dead, 1 with 9 damage to head, 1 with 8 damage to head, 1 with 7 damage to head.)


At the garage-
A few volleys of gunfire came from the roof of the motel, further reducing the ranks of the undead. There were now around sixty on their feet, with a couple more wounded in the head reduced to a crawl and falling behind. Keith and Lisa heard Tsuba reply from below: "Thanks, I'm glad she's fine! We're fine. My damn gun jammed on me, but Pa and Sue were able to make up for it. Got about nine more of these things left somewhere below us. They've already got major head wounds, so they're slowed to a crawl. We should be able to mop 'em up. Sounds like you're needed more up top. Let us know in advance if things get hairy and we might have to bug out. It'll take us a little while to climb all those stairs." He paused for a second. "My gun's working again! We're good now!"

Lewie saw the horde continue to advance. It was now a third of a mile away. Suddenly, there was a loud explosion coming from the west side of the motel, followed almost immediately by another one.

(Lewie Newton, you may fire twice if you wish and also reload. You're still at 1/2 skill, but after this set of five combat rounds the zombies will be within range to use your full skill.)

On the highway-
The advancing mob was now a little over 300 yards away from the stopped truck. Colin and Joe also heard the explosions in the distance.

(Colin Lewis, you may fire twice this time. Joe Soarez, you may fire five times. Both of you are at full skill.)

((Rolls. Three out of the five shots fire and hit their marks, two of which were instant kills))

Joe lets loose fire on the walkers, two of the shots hitting two that were already wounded, dropping them once and for all. The last one is severly wounded by a 7 hp shot.

Lewie squeezed off two more rounds, both hitting their mark. The first zombie flopped lifeless in the grass, the second...(does a 10 kill a zombie?)

(Yes, 10 damage is the minimum needed to kill a zombie by shooting it in the head. I'll assume you also want to reload. Bullets are loaded individually with your rifle, so you can only load two per combat round. Since you only have one round to spare after shooting, your rifle now has two bullets in it.)

Looking Keith in the eye, Lisa says emphatically: "Keith, DO NOT leave without your father or brother. I'm going back down."

Moving towards the stairway, the newly resolute Native American woman calls out: "Tsuba! Mr. D! Hurry up here! We've gotta go!"

"Believe me, I'm got going anywhere." Keith says.
As Lisa moves back to the stairs, Keith turns to the truck and leans on the open window frame and takes Melindas hand: "How are you holding up, dear? As soon as Dad and Tsuba get back up here we'll head back to the motel where the soliers can help keep us safe. Ok?"

Sue Newton shouted up from below: "We can't leave this thing to get up behind us! And we're not done down here!"

Colin took aim at a zombie and fired However he either missed or his gun jammed.

(my rolls suck this morning! Did I jam the rifle? If I did I will not reflect the second shot in the roll which would have been an impale.)

(Colin's rifle is very reliable and only malfunctions on a 100, so that first shot is just a wild miss. The next one is an impale, and it's guaranteed to do at least 10 damage, so that's an automatic kill. You don't need to roll extra damage.)

(At this point, we're moving to one combat round per major update.

Walkers from the east: 34 dead, 1 with 9 damage to head)


At the garage-
Gunfire echoed from the roof of the motel across the road. Some of the shots hit the horde to the east, now just a quarter of a mile from the diner. Others were directed to the west, but nobody at the garage could see the past the motel to determine what they were shooting at. Hodges, who had been running to the garage, doubled back for the motel at the sound of the explosions. Another SF trooper at the motel started running east towards the diner, passing his comrade on the way.

"Are you sure it's going to be safe at the motel?" asked Melinda, uncertain.

Lisa started carefully down the stairs. As she went, there was another volley of shots, followed by silence.

(Lisa, roll Listen.

Lewie, you may now fire once at full skill, with only the -5 penalty for shooting at the head. You may only fire this rifle every other round, so you will not get a shot next round if you shoot this round.)


On the highway-
The horde was further thinned by the hail of lead, with only about 50 left standing. One more crawled far behind them, losing ground every second. The leading edge of the mob was now only about 150 yards from the truck.

(Colin Lewis and Joe Soarez, roll Sanity. Sanity loss is 0/1d10. Colin, since you lost 7 Sanity for seeing zombies earlier, any loss of more than 3 counts as only 3, and you cannot go temporarily insane. Joe, on the other hand, can. Colin, your rifle is empty, but you may load two bullets into it this round. Joe, you may fire once, provided you do not go temporarily insane.)

Edging down the stairs, a study in concentration and determination, Lisa does not hear anything other than the intermittent gunfire coming from below.

At the garage-
"How bad is it up there?" called Sue from below. "I'm thinking if we can get this place cleared out we might have a place to retreat to."

"It's bad!" Lisa answers emphatically. "C'mon, we're loading up the trucks and getting a move on! Tsuba, do you hear me?!"
