Chapter 1: Ambush - Run for your life !

[royya]

Post up Mr handy - I've no idea where is Syrinx

[Mr. Handy]

Liz stands behind the others and lobs a rock overhead at the radroach, but it sails harmlessly past.

[royya]

Natasha stays in the restroom, avoiding getting outside.
Jeffrey and Kevin, both try to kick the large insect but fail, the thing is too quick.

Roland (I rolled 7 for him) with a well placed kick to the thing's head send the roach to the ground two meters away. The roach, undefeated, comes bacl and tries to bite but fails.

Roach - 5 damage.

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,I'll have to wait until [b]Frog[/b] acts this round before I go, but I'm planning to throw another rock if the roach isn't down.

[Dave Syrinx]

Roland Strickland attempts to whack the Radroach with the hammer, swinging it savagely. He hits the tiled floor, sending a spray of tile fragments over the wasteland animal. "Bloody hell! Did I miss that?"

Earlier in the restroom, he had gulped water till he couldn´t down a drip more. That probably cost him his aim, now.

Spoiler:

Edited the sheet for one negative RAD.
Sorry for making the strike rank order halting. Might´ve been the roach´s time to attack...

[Papa Gateau]

OOC:   Frog will stay out of range of the creature - looking for rocks or stones to throw at it, he won't engage in hand to hand melee

[royya]

Here mate, here ...
Kevin taunts the roach, leaving an open space for Jeffrey to deliver a knocking kick. The kick smash the roach into the wall, leaving the thing to ooze until it falls dead.

Be alert, this place can be infested with mutated insect.
Jeffrey says, clearly satisfied with the result.

Opposite to the restroom there is a reception room with a wide big window. Darkness lies ahead...

[Dave Syrinx]

Roland leans into the reception room to get a view of it and make sure it's empty.

[Mr. Handy]

Liz retrieves the rock she threw and then advances behind Roland, shining her lantern into the darkness.

[Papa Gateau]

We all clear in there? No more o'them dogroaches?

[royya]

Peering through the reception window into the room you see that the room is ruined.
But there is a small cafeteria table with a computer, but alas, there is no electricity.

"Hello, computer," says Liz, overjoyed. "Oh, but there's no power. If only we can get it back on. No computer can keep its secrets from me."

[royya]

Without power to turn on the computer you have nothing to do in the reception room so you leave the room and walk along the corridor. The corridor ends with a right turn. The light falls on a double door with a rusted sign that read "Cafeteria" in the end. The right turn goes further into the darkness. In the end you spot stairs going up, along the walls there are more doors and another turn but it's too dark to see the signs.

[Mr. Handy]

"There might be food in the cafeteria," says Liz, "and we might be able to cook the boar there, as long as the stove's gas and not electric. If we go down the hall, I bet we could read the signs by the light of the lantern."

[royya]

The double doors to the cafeteria are locked, there is an electronic padlock on the wall next to the door, but again, the power is down so it's not working. You guess that the mechanism shuts the door locked and without electricity to open the electronic padlock you won't be able to go in. Walking along the corridor, you see another set of doule doors, they are closed. According to the sign next to them you identify the place as an entrance to a squash and ping pong courts.

Further down you see the stairs more clearly, 5 meters before them there is another entrance. A sign hanging from the ceiling reads - showers but the entrance is blocked from view.

[Dave Syrinx]

"Hmm if we find the main fuse, we might light this place up and get to that cafeteria." Roland walks to the courts to find a fuse box somewhere.

[Mr. Handy]

"Yeah, and the computer," says Liz. "I'd wager it's got the combination to that lock stored on it somewhere. I hope the showers are working. I sure could use one." She follows Roland into the courts, her lantern held high.

[royya]

You enter the courts and find the remains of rotting ping pong tables and wooden benches.
In the squash room you find the remains of two dead roaches and empty food cans - a trail of ants can be seen from the dead roaches to an unseen holes in the walls.

[Mr. Handy]

"Ugh," says Liz. "I hate those roaches. There's nothing here. Let's check out the shower room next."

[Dave Syrinx]

Roland stoops down by the ant trail and lures some of them up his fingers and arm. He then catches them with his lips, squashing them, then swallowing them. "Man, I´m hungry for more." He follows Liz to the showers. When he reaches the corner where the showers are supposed to be, he leans around the bend, hammer at the ready.
