"On another thought, sean, I will go back few steps near that zombie runner dead body and wait for you there, do your business here quickly and fall back immediately", Stephanie looks towards zombie body and start moving towards it slowly still keeping watch to her surrounding in between.

[Mr. Handy]

10:09 AM
At the landing site-
Erica had about one third of the last barrel drained. She looked off down the road and was relieved to see that Stephanie had dropped back.

On the road-
Stephanie backtracked to where the running infected person had fallen after Sean had shot him in the head. He had fallen on his back, his empty red eyes staring skyward. The five remaining infected advanced slowly on Sean, and they were now within fifty yards of him.

OOC,[b]Sean[/b], the zombies will reach your position in five rounds. You may retreat safely on the fifth round without having to roll anything. If you remain where you are for the fifth round, there is a chance that you won't be able to retreat before the zombies get to attack. You will have to reload at some point, so you may get three shots if you want to be able to retreat safely, or four if you want to take a chance. [b]Stephanie[/b], you're well out of pistol range, and your chances aren't any better of hitting now. If you'd like to examine the dead body, please roll Biology.

[Silver Priest]

Sean fires a few more shots.

rifle 30%,[dice]0[/dice] [dice]1[/dice] [dice]2[/dice]

He curses as none hit, and starts to back up. If he has a chance, he'll reload, but he won't risk his safety.

Brigetta watches with her heart in her mouth, "Be careful, Sean, don't take a deadly risk." The zombies really are getting very close to him but she's glad to see Stephanie drop back. She's tempted to get out to see the prone zombie too but this might jeopardise the mission.

[Mr. Handy]

10:10 AM
At the landing site-
Erica kept pumping the fuel.

On the road-
Sean fired twice, reloaded his empty rifle, and fired one more time before he had to retreat. He was still almost two minutes away from the helicopter, and the five remaining infected were getting uncomfortably close.

Stephanie was about a minute and a half from the helicopter as she finished examining the corpse.

OOC,[b]Sean[/b], you may fire one shot now and then retreat safely. If you're still where you are in the second round, the zombies will get to attack you. You will have to retreat for the second through fourth rounds to be safe, and you may then fire one more shot. [b]Stephanie[/b], the zombies will reach you on the third round if you stay where you are. You may fire two shots safely and then retreat for two rounds before firing a third time. Your shots will be at 1/2 skill if you aim at the head, as you are now within normal range when using precision aim, which as good a chance as you'll get outside of point blank range.

Stephanie Bridges,The corpse's lividity indicated that the time of death was a couple hours ago, not a few minutes ago when [b]Sean[/b] had shot it. The redness of the eyes was most likely due to burst capillaries. They were another indication that this person had been dead before being shot.

[Silver Priest]

Sean fires, backs off, and then fires again once he's far enough away to be safe.

"Damn it!" He curses as the shots miss. "I may not be able to get them all before they reach the helicopter! Get ready to evacuate. They're slow enough that I should be able to pick them off eventually, but we can't risk having them drawn to any of you."

[dustakr]

Stephanie fires one shot in the air to alert sean, then fires a second shot towards incoming hoard of undead. then retreat back towards chopper but will stop few steps before chopper to check on sean.

OOC,Not sure how accurate [b]Stephanie[/b]'s aim is so will use one shot to alert [b]sean [/b]who is running towards her in same direction as undead zombies. so I need to roll only once, right?

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,If you're firing a shot to alert [b]Sean[/b], you may as well try to hit something with it, or you're just wasting ammo. Even if you do just fire into the air, you still need to roll for both shots in case of a Malfunction. Please go ahead and fire your two shots, at 1/2 skill to aim at a zombie's head. Roll 1D10 damage for each shot that hits, or 2D10 instead if you roll an impale (5 or lower on your roll to hit).

10:11 AM
At the landing site-
Erica tapped the barrel to check on its depth and found that it was about halfway drained. "We need five more minutes!" she called.

On the road-
Sean's and Stephanie's shots all missed, and the five figures continued to advance.

OOC,If you go into a full retreat, you can reach the helicopter this turn. You may instead alternate shooting and retreating, in which case each of you gets three shots at half skill.

[dustakr]

OOC,I would consider full retreat in this situation, but like to know who gets to retreat first and fire and who gets to fire first and retreat.

[Silver Priest]

Sean continues to back up, taking shots when it's safe to do so.

Rifle 30%,[dice]0[/dice] [dice]1[/dice] [dice]2[/dice] Damage [dice]3[/dice] [dice]4[/dice]

To his relief he's a little more accurate, and two more of the infected go down, their heads bursting like ripe melons at the county fair.

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,If you do a full retreat, you don't fire at all, but you reach the chopper at the end of this round. By alternating, I meant that you fire in the first, third, and fifth rounds and retreat in the second and fourth, which is what [b]Sean[/b] has done. You would retreat when he does and fire when he does if you decide to do it that way.

[dustakr]

Stephanie keeps up with Sean.

OOC,Handgun Roll; [dice]0[/dice]

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,Nicely done! That last shot hits. You can go ahead and roll 1D10 for damage, or I'll roll for you if you haven't done it by the time I'm ready to update.

[aine]

"It's going to be so close!"" Murmurs Brigette. "oh well done Sean!" As two zombies go down. She doesn't wait to see the fate of Stephanie's zombie but quickly puts her motes away and gets ready for take off; there's not much else she can do yet.

[Mr. Handy]

10:12 AM
At the landing site-
Erica kept pumping fuel as the few remaining walking corpses got closer. "They'll be here in a minute!" she said. "We'll have to take off if you can't care of them!"

Bob stood beside the open helicopter door, his pistol drawn and aimed at one of the infected, waiting for them to get close enough for him to have a halfway decent chance of hitting.

On the road-
Sean dropped two of the zombies, and Stephanie's shot downed another one. Only two remained, but they were getting uncomfortably close to the helicopter and very close to Stephanie and Sean.

OOC,Damage to zombie from 9mm bullet: [dice]0[/dice] It will take each of you three rounds out of the following five to retreat to the helicopter, which gives each of you one chance to shoot if you want to get into the helicopter in the fifth round. [b]Sean[/b], you may reload your rifle during one of the rounds you're retreating. You have one bullet currently left in the rifle. [b]Bob[/b] will also fire during the second, third, and fourth rounds, when he'll be able to shoot with half skill. If they're not all down by the fifth round, he'll get in the helicopter too. Anyone who isn't in the helicopter by the end of the fifth round will be in danger from any remaining zombies.

[Silver Priest]

Mr.Handy,If Sean reloads on the first round and does not retreat, can he aim his remaining four shots at the head at point blank range with no penalty? If so I'm thinking I'll just have him do that.

[dustakr]

Mr. Handy,does [b]Stephanie[/b] gets one more chance to shoot at zombies then? if yes she will immediately take first shot at zombies and retreats back towards chopper during all this chaos.
