The city in the ice

In the coldest and most isolated place on Earth, survival is a hope, not a guarantee. Death and terror shadow your every move, and all paths lead to an ancient city where a horrifying truth lays buried deep beneath the ice.

Alex looks at the flamethrower and shudders, he mutters under his breath, '...cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.'

He gestures to the others to join them, 'We're looking for my German friend's colleagues'. 'Erwarten Sie Ärger?' he asks the German, pointing to the flamethrower.
Translation,'Are you expecting trouble'

You all enter the tunnel. You start hearing some noises, but it's dificult to understand from where they are coming. The soldier seems more and more nervous and he is speaking alone.

OOC: Listen roll please.

OOC:   Fail.  
Crowley decides more firepower is called for. He holsters his Webley and unslings the shotgun.

Turning to Malone, he says, "Ask your young Boche friend about the zombie lepers the other lad mentioned."

Alex Listen 21%,0
Noticing his agitation, Alex whispers to the German, trying to calm him down, 'Beruhige dich, entspanne dich, wir sind hier, um dich zu unterstützen.' To Crowley he says 'I don't think he'd respond well to that sort of question at the moment.'
Translation,'Calm down, relax, we are here to back you up.'

The soldier seems more calm. After passing a corner, you find suddenly a group of... 10 somethings. They are vaguely humanoid, some have nazi uniforms, others cloths similar to yours but they have all several have mutations: extra limbs, half bodies, limbs in impossible positions, strange scars.
Please roll all 1d100. If you fail, loose 1d10. If you pass, loose 1d4.

Several of the things start screaming in voices that are not human, but seems some moquery of language... and suddenly you all see the flames burning them and there is a grotesque show of those creatures making screams with their voices with pain and terror. The german soldier seems to feel a huge relieve and continues to burn them all.
Roll a 1d4. of sanity loss.
You are all distracted when you hear a sound behind you... and it's another group of those creatures, who are about 2 meters from you....

Recoiling from the flames, Alex crosses himself and says to the German 'Schnelles Denken!'
Translate,'Quick thinking!'
Sanity loss,0
Turning at the sound from behind he brings the shotgun up to bear and fires both barrels.
Alex Shotgun 35%,Summary - a hit with the second barrel, damage 13 - At point blank range I'm assuming a bonus die, first barrel 1, 2, damage 3, if he hits with the first barrel he'll change target and lose his bonus die otherwise he'll fire again at the same target, second barrel 4, 5, damage 6
