IC-THRU-Beneath the Surface(Tsuba/Lisa Crow/Sue Newton)

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.

Grabbing Tsuba by the upper arm, Lisa cocks her head toward the stairway and retreats.

Sue retreats. OOC: Can she reload her gun as she retreats?

(Yes, she can. She gets to reload two shells this round. Sorry I forgot to point that out this time.)

On the stairs-
Clarence and Bill followed the women up the stairs. As they ran, everyone heard Keith call from above: "Is that you all coming up the stairs?"

"Yeah, son, it's us!" Clarence shouted back. "We've still got six of them crawling behind us!"

The four of them reached the landing midway to the surface. Glancing back down, they could see that the six zombies had just reached the base of the stairs.

(Each of you may fire at the zombies for one combat round safely, or you may retreat to the surface instead. If you retreat, you may reload at the same time. Sue, you may fire the shotgun once at a single target, and any head hit will be an automatic kill since all of the remaining zombies have taken 8 or 9 damage to the head already. Lisa, you may fire twice at a zombie's head, provided they're both at the same target. You should roll your first shot and then roll damage. If you miss, you should then fire your second shot. If you only cause 1 damage, roll Luck to see if the zombie you hit was badly damaged enough for this to kill it. If the Luck roll fails, you should go ahead with your second shot.)

Clamping her right eye shut and sighting down the length of her left arm, Lisa deftly squeezes off a shot and lobotomizes one more crawling undead.

OOC: If they're clustered at the base of the stairs, what prevents her from targeting another zombie with her remaining shot?

(The fact that you have to use precision aim to target the head is what prevents you from shooting again. The rules state that you may only fire one shot per round when using precision aim, but I've been allowing guns that fire multiple shots per round to have all of them under the condition that you aim at the same target. There simply isn't enough time in a combat round to take careful aim at two different targets. If you're not using precision aim you could fire at more than one target, but then you'd have to use the random hit location table and probably wouldn't hit the head.)

Sue somehow manages to miss again. Even from this range... Her arms are simply trembling too much, sweat rolls down her fingers... She swears, cursing herself, and her eyes begin to fill a little with tears.

On the stairs-
"Hurry up, dad," called Keith from upstairs. "We're close to getting overrun up here."

"We'll be up in just another minute, son!" Clarence shouted back. He fired again, but he missed too. Bill took a shot as well, putting one of the crawling ghouls down. The last four crawled upstairs and were now halfway to the landing.

Just then, the ground shook again. It was more violent this time, but not enough that there was any danger of falling down the stairs.

(If you fire at the zombies this round, any that you fail to kill will get to attack. You may instead retreat the rest of the way upstairs, and you may reload while you do so if you wish.)

Lisa retreats to the top of the stairs before shooting again. Darting a baleful eye at the ineffectual Susan she says acidly: "Sweetie, when you're done making noise with that thing, why don't you give it to someone who can do some good with it?"

Sue considers applying the butt of the gun to Lisa's face as she retreats up the stairs, reloading. She figured that, at the very least, she could always trip the girl if the ghouls got too near. Might keep them busy for a moment.
