9:31:24 AM
Outside the garage-
KImberly joined Gary at the corner, crouching low, and fired her shotgun from the hip at the two skinheads in front of the diner. Unfortunately, her blast went over their heads in her haste. Gary's shot missed as well. Worse yet, the skinhead with the shotgun returned fire at her, peppering her right arm with buckshot. She collapsed, bleeding. Gary had luckily been spared, as Kimberly had blocked the pellets from hitting him.

"We got innocent people in here!" shouted the skinhead with the assault rifle. "Hold your fire and stay away, or they might get hurt!" Then both skinheads began to backpedal to the diner's front doors.

In the garage-
Samantha took the ladder off of the wall. It was pretty heavy, but Wallace helped her with it. "Good thinking," he said.

In the back room-
Nobody came through the door from the diner, at least not yet.

OOC,Skinhead's Listen roll (36% skill) in the diner: [dice]6[/dice]

"Holy crap! It's a war out there! I want to get on the roof; I think it will be safer." She says urgently to Mitchell. She goes over to the ladder on the garage wall and and unhooks it.

Mitchell heads over to help with the ladder. "This is bad. We gotta find a safe place."

[Starspawn338]

As the skinheads retreat to the diner, Gary will pull Kimberly out of the line of fire.

[aine]

"Quickly! Get it up along the diner roof." Samantha helps carry the ladder outside and against the wall.

9:31:36 AM
In the back room-
Dave, Jimmy, and the dogs followed Mitchell back out of the office.

In the garage-
Dave, Mitchell, the dogs, and Jimmy emerged from the back office. Dave quietly shut the door behind them.

Samantha and Wallace carried the ladder outside.

Outside the garage-
Gary pulled Kimberly around the corner and out of the line of fire, which was easy considering that he was strong and she was slender. She was still unconscious and bleeding, however. Samantha and Wallace came out of the garage and leaned the ladder against the wall. There was another pistol shot, followed by a shotgun blast and a rifle shot.

OOC,Resistance Table roll: [b]Gary[/b]'s STR 13 vs. [b]KImberly[/b]'s SIZ 10 (65% chance) to move [b]Kimberly[/b] around the corner: [dice]0[/dice]

"Crap." samantha sighs as she sees the wounded woman. She considers pretending not to notice but instead leans the ladder against the wall ready to be used. She kicks a couple of stones against the bottom to stabilise it.
"Go grab a first aid kit- I assume you got one in the garage." She orders Wallace.
"Put her on the floor here and then go back and guard that corner." She orders the man and then she prepares to do some fast, messy first aid.

[Mr. Handy]

9:31:48 AM
Outside the garage-
Dave, Mitchell, Jimmy, and the dogs came out of the garage.

"Yeah, the doctor just used it on me earlier," said Wallace. "Let me help you with her." He and Samantha picked up the unconscious Kimberly and brought her inside the garage.

In the garage-
Wallace and Samantha lay Kimberly down on the same cleared workbench where he had been treated earlier, and Wallace retrieved the first aid kit for her.

OOC,[b]Samantha[/b], you may roll First Aid. If you succeed, please roll 1D3 to see how many HP [b]Kimberly[/b] recovers.

[Starspawn338]

"Put her on the floor here and then go back and guard that corner." She orders the man and then she prepares to do some fast, messy first aid.

"The name's Gary." Gary says in response but he does go back to cover the corner.

OOC,Spot Hidden 50 [dice]0[/dice]

[Starspawn338]

Mitchell climbs the ladder to the roof to seek cover from the fighting. Once at the top, he'll move to each side of the building to see what he can see.

OOC,Spot Hidden 85 [dice]0[/dice] Sneak 10 [dice]1[/dice]

Samantha pulls out the biggest wad of dressing in the first aid kit and presses it tightly over Kmberly's arm.

First aid,[dice]0[/dice]

Then she sees a packet of clotting powder in the kit. "Even better!" She rips the packet open and pours most of the contents over the wound. "Now for tweezers." She starts pulling out the shot whilst keeping her ears open to where Gary is standing.

9:32 AM
Outside the garage-
There was no movement that Gary could see in the parking lot. There was some commotion between the motel and the dirt road. The old Chinese man was being helped up and back toward the motel by the maid, with the Lathan family close behind. The old Chinese woman was running as fast as she could move, which wasn't very fast, across the highway and toward the motel. On the highway across from diner, the police cruiser was stopped. Sean was standing behind it, his rifle aimed across the roof toward the diner. Two skinheads lay dead in front of the diner's front doors, and Jim Kerr had taken cover behind the truck. Baldwin was also dead next to him, his leg missing and his arm in tatters. There may have been more happening that he couldn't see, but the building and the vehicles blocked his view. Then he glanced behind him and saw a small group of people on I-80 almost a mile to the east, slowly walking this way.

Dave held the ladder while Mitchell climbed it.

OOC,[b]Gary[/b], please roll Sanity for seeing the corpses (remember your bonus). Sanity loss is 1/1D4+1, so you lose 1 Sanity if you succeed or 1D4+1 if you fail. If you lose 5 Sanity, please roll Idea. If you succeed at the Idea roll, you go temporarily insane. As long as you don't go insane, you may act freely.

On the roof of the garage-
Mitchell reached the top of the ladder and took a good look around, seeing everything that Gary had seen below. He also saw the skinhead sniper, dead and motionless some ten yards beyond the pickup truck. Gary wasn't able to see him, as the truck blocked his view, but elevation gave Mitchell the edge. The garage was connected to the diner, and he'd be able to reach the roof of the diner just by walking across. There might have been more to see, but he couldn't see it from here with the building blocking his view.

OOC,[b]Mitchell[/b], please roll Sanity for seeing the corpses. Sanity loss is 1/1D4+1, so you lose 1 Sanity if you succeed or 1D4+1 if you fail. If you lose 5 Sanity, please roll Idea. If you succeed at the Idea roll, you go temporarily insane. As long as you don't go insane, you may act freely.

In the garage-
Kimberly regained consciousness and moaned in pain. "Thank you," she said, weakly. "I thought I was done for back there. What's happening? I can't hear any more shooting."

[Starspawn338]

OOC,Sanity 61 [dice]0[/dice] Sanity Loss 1 Current Sanity 60

Mitchell doesn't like the carnage that he sees but at least the shooting has stopped for the time being.

[Starspawn338]

OOC,Sanity 78 (with Bonus) [dice]0[/dice] Sanity loss 1 Current Sanity 57

Gary keeps an eye out for movement from the dead skinheads.

[aine]

"Buckshot is painful but it won't killl you this time. Here, take these." Samantha finishes tying the sling to keep Kimbetley's arm in place and gives her some pain killers.
"You need to rest. Maybe your friend Gary can help you over to the motel if the shooting's over." Samantha packs up the first aid kit, puts it back in its place and then gets ready to leave.

[Mr. Handy]

9:32:24 AM
In the garage-
Kimberly left the garage with Wallace and Samantha.

On the roof of the garage-
Mitchell crossed over to the diner's roof.

On the roof of the diner-
From his new position, Mitchell could see more.

Mitchell,[b]Mitchell[/b] saw four skinheads running for their vehicles on the dirt road with two female hostages. One of the skinheads with a pistol had one of the hostages by the arm and had brought her nearly all the way to the van. The other three were clustered around the other hostage. Two of them had shotguns, and the third had a pistol and was holding onto her with his other hand. They were more than halfway to the van.

Outside the garage-
"Hey, Wallace!" called Dave, hearing Jim's shout. "Someone needs you over in front of the diner!"

When Wallace emerged with Samantha and Kimberly, he hurried around the corner to the diner.

Max tried to climb the ladder, but he only ended up toppling it.

OOC,[b]Wallace[/b] is moving to the thread linked below:

Breakfast

[aine]

Samantha leads Kimberly over towards Gary. "Here she is; I've patched her up. Now..." She hears the ladder toppling over.
"Idiot!" She turns back to see Max grappling with the ladder. "What are you trying to do? Dance with it?!" Exasperated, she goes to put the ladder back up.

[Starspawn338]

Idiot!" She turns back to see Max grappling with the ladder. "What are you trying to do? Dance with it?!" Exasperated, she goes to put the ladder back up.

OOC Samantha,[b]Max[/b] is a dog. :)

Mitchell will crouch down so he is not seen by the skinheads and watch them from his vantage point.

[Starspawn338]

"Are you okay?" Gary asks Kimberly as she comes out of the garage. "They seem to have retreated into the diner for now."

[aine]

Ooc,Re the dog. Whoops! Of course he is."

Samantha untangles Max's legs from the ladder. "You daft dog!" She says, not unfondly, and she ruffles him around the ears. "Now stay away from this ladder!" She orders him and looks around for a brick or something to wedge the ladder with.

[Mr. Handy]

9:32:36 AM
Outside the garage-
Max whimpered and backed away from the ladder, looking up at Samantha with wide, sad doggy eyes. She soon had it back in place, with a brick making sure it wouldn't fall over again.

"Thanks. I'll live," Kimberly told Gary, rubbing her injured arm. "I'm lucky my arm's not broken."

On the roof of the diner-
Mitchell ducked down and kept watch on his surroundings.

Mitchell,[b]Mitchell[/b] watched the first skinhead and woman he was dragging vanish around the other side of the van. The other three skinheads and their hostage were now almost there. In the parking lot, he saw the State Police cruiser pull back onto the highway. [b]Father Roger McCormack[/b] emerged from the diner's front doors where the two dead skinheads lay. [b]Wallace[/b] and [b]Jim Kerr[/b] got into [b]Baldwin[/b]'s truck. No sooner had they closed the doors than [b]Baldwin[/b] began to stir. His eyes opened, red with rage and hunger. Though he had only one leg and one usable arm, he was still somehow able to move... [spoiler][b]Mitchell[/b], please roll Sanity for seeing Baldwin rise from the dead. Sanity loss is 1/1D8, so you lose 1 Sanity if you succeed or 1D8 if you fail. Since you lost 1 Sanity previously for seeing a zombie, you can lose at most 7 now. Any roll of 8 will count as 7 instead. If you lose 5 or more Sanity, please roll Idea. If the Idea roll succeeds, you will go temporarily insane. If you do not go insane, you may act freely.[/spoiler]
