IC-OVER-Middle of Nowhere(Jack/Emily/Lauren/Flynn/Kyle)

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.

(That's just a natural result of Lauren's high APP, but you don't get a bonus for it in this case. You are asking him to kill what he still thinks of as his mother, after all. You do have the skill at 20%, and you can try it once per round.)

(This is still the same round, so you can't roll Fast Talk again yet if you've already done so. This post is just to let Alvarez know what he hears on the radio.)

At the farmhouse-
Alvarez heard Jack reply on the radio: "A zombie?! Alvarez, keep talking to me. Where are you guys situated? Are you in a fortified location? What are Emily and Lauren doing?"

"Yes we are in a safe place. Hold on a minute." Alvarez tossed the helmet at Lauren and said, "Talk to your father please"

At the farmhouse-
"She's not dead!" insisted Kyle. "Dead people can't get up and walk around, even I know that!"

He was interrupted by the sound of a powerful fist slamming mightily into the back door, which was heavily damaged. Fortunately, the barricade held...for now.

"Betty, please!" begged Lloyd. "You've got to try to control yourself! I know you're still in there somewhere!"

"SHe is dead! You have to understand that." Emily pleaded to no avail. "It's crazy, I know, but we've seen enough crazy today know that anything goes right now. How did she get bitten? Who was it that did it? What state of mind were they in when they did it, and how badly did you have to damage them before they stopped attacking? Think about it, please."

Alvarez hopped over on his good leg and balanced himself against the wall on the other side with his M-4 pointing toward the door.

At the farmhouse-
As Lauren took hold of the helmet, she heard her father's voice coming from the radio built into it: "Alvarez, I don't understand. If you're in a safe place what's preventing either of my girls from speaking to me?"

Lauren heard her fathers voice coming in from the helmet and decided to put it on. One it was on," Daddy are you ok? We need help there is one of those people outside the door." She then turned to Kyle to try once more http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1728267/ and failed horribly.

At the farmhouse-
"Stop saying those things about Ma!" said Kyle, on the verge of tears. "I thought you were nice!"

Just then there was another massive blow that destroyed what was left of the door and heavily damaged the china cabinet that was blocking the doorway. A few of the dishes fell out and shattered on the floor.

"Betty, please!" begged Lloyd. "You've got to try to control yourself! We're not going to hurt you!"

Lauren heard Jack on the radio: "Honey, what's going on? Remain calm. What is everybody doing? If you're armed and barricaded, you should be OK. We'll be there as soon as possible!"

"Hold on dad, Kyle please listen to us. From what we have gone through lately she isnt the same anymore."
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1729663/
Lauren was close but still couldn't convince Kyle.
"God dad we need help."

"We found these people who took us in but this guys mom got bit or something and now I think she is one of those things that tried to get us. What do we do dad?" Lauren said into the radio.

"Can't you see she is not herself" Emily pleaded. "She's tearing this house down to get at us and kill us." Emily tried to convince them, but could tell she was getting no where.
"Shit, we have to get out of here. Alvarez, can you get a clear shot on her?"

At the farmhouse-
Lauren heard Jack speak again: "Lauren, keep away from the infected! Where are you in the house? You, your mother, Alvarez, barricade yourself somewhere or run away. Shit-" He paused. "OK. scratch that, I know Julio can't run but he's the best with a gun. Play keep away and aim for the head. They're slow and dumb. Use that to your advantage. We're on our way."

"Nobody is shooting Betty!" insisted Lloyd. He clenched his shotgun, but he didn't point it at anyone yet. "If you want to get out, go through the living room to the front door. You'll have to move the barricade aside first, though."

"Don't shoot my Ma!" cried Kyle.

Then what was left of the china cabinet was demolished from behind! Pieces of it flew everywhere, and behind it stood a woman in her forties with bright red eyes. She looked hungrily at everyone in the room.

(Emily and Lauren, roll Sanity. Sanity loss is 0/1d10. Alvarez doesn't need to roll, as he has already lost 10 Sanity for seeing zombies. Alvarez, you may shoot before the zombie gets to attack if you wish. If you want to do something else, let me know. The zombie is a fast one, so it will get to attack before you can do anything but fire a gun. If you do shoot, the range is point blank and a burst will give you a +20 bonus on top of that. However, there's no time to aim for the head. If you hit, roll 1d3 to see how many bullets hit. Each bullet will hit a random hit location on 1d20 and will do 2d8 damage.)

Emily stares in shock at the creature in front of her. Her mind reels but does not break too badly.
"Lauren, get upstairs, now!" Emily says as she grabs Lauren by the shoulder, turns her and starts moving her upstairs.
Emily calls back over her shoulder, "Alvarez, take do what you have to do."

Her sanity stayed intact Hower Lauren still faltered when she saw the monster. She followed her mothers advice and ran up the stairs quick as she could.

(You have 50% in Rifle, so the point blank bonus doubles this to 100. If you fire a burst, that increases it to 120. Either way, you can only miss on a Malfunction, which is 98 or higher. The advantages of the burst are that you might hit with more than one bullet, and that there's a greater chance for an impale - 24 or less as opposed to 20 or less for a single shot. If you do get an impale, only the first bullet that hits does 4d8 instead of 2d8. If you get a critical hit, which is a 5 or less, all bullets that hit do 4d8 damage.

Emily and Lauren haven't actually gone anywhere yet. As I said, the zombie goes first. Once I get a post for Alvarez, I'll finish up this round and start on the next one. The stairs leading up are in the living room, and you're in the kitchen right now. It takes one round to reach the living room, and then one more to get upstairs. You can only move so far during a combat round. I'll let you know when you get there.)
