Gary will continue to cover Jimmy as he makes his way around the compound.

[Leonulf]

Jimmy nods and follows the advice trying to stick close to the perimeter as he moves onwards.

At the gate-
Jimmy made his way around the edge of the compound, shadowed by the pickup truck. Soon they were back at the gate. Fortunately, none of the zombies were close enough to Jimmy to notice him.

"Excellent," said Kimberly. "Open the gate, then jump in the back when we drive in."

[Starspawn338]

"Good job Jimmy." Gary says as he keeps his rifle ready.

[Leonulf]

Jimmy nods towards the truck and starts opening the gate, ready to jump back into the track once its open.

[Mr. Handy]

10:30 AM
At the gate-
Bo drove through the open gate, slowing down long enough for Jimmy to hop into the bed of the pickup truck. Then he accelerated and drove to the front of the building, parking next to the van in front of the door.

"We don't have much time," Kimberly said, hopping out of the vehicle. The zombies were already starting to converge on them. She tried the building's front door. "Damn, it's locked!"

[Starspawn338]

Gary follows Kimberly out of the truck. Since the front door is locked, he looks around for any other doors or windows.

"We need to get out of the open quickly."

[Leonulf]

Jimmy looks around "We might need to make a lot of noise soon, we could use it to our advantage - if we ram or shoot the door open but then move back maybe the skinheads will rush out to a load of zombies - let them fight each other for a bit before we go in? Or the zombies might naturally go straight in, either way it might make a distraction while we look for another way in?".

[Mr. Handy]

10:31 AM
Outside the building-
"Those girls may not have much time either," KImberly said as everyone else got out of the truck. "Let's get that door open."

Gary found a window and looked inside, seeing a deserted room.

"Right," said Bo. "We'll ram it, then. Ready, kid?" He and Jimmy ran at the door with their shoulders together, and it flew open. Everyone rushed inside.

In the entry room-
Everyone hustled into a large white-walled room with a desk and chairs. There was another door at the back of the room.

[Starspawn338]

Gary will head to the door in the back and see if it is also locked.
"Let's get out of sight from the front door." He says to the others.

[Mr. Handy]

10:32 AM
In the entry room-
Everyone moved away from the front door. Unfortunately, there was no closing it again, not after Jimmy and Bo had smashed it down. The zombies outside were getting closer.

Gary tried the door at the back of the room and found it to be unlocked, and the room beyond was empty. Everyone hurried through.

In the back room-
Everyone entered a small room. Sunlight streamed in through a window in one wall next to a closed door leading outside. This room was used for storage, and there was a trapdoor set into the floor.

[Leonulf]

Jimmy points at the floor "If I was the kidnapping type, a basement might seem like a good idea, lets have a look down here", he moves to open the trapdoor.

[Starspawn338]

"You're right kid." Gary affirms. "Not only that but survivalist types tend to have their safe area underground. Let's be careful though. We know they are armed to the teeth and they have explosives as well. This place could be booby trapped."

[Mr. Handy]

10:33 AM
In the back room-
Jimmy hauled open the trapdoor, revealing a set of stairs leading underground, lit by a bare light bulb dangling from the ceiling of the level below. There was no sign of any traps.

"Bo and I should take point," said Kimberly. "We have the shotguns." They led the way downstairs, followed by everyone else.

On the stairs-
The group descended a flight of stairs and soon reached a landing, where the stairs turned around and continued downward.

OOC,[b]Bo[/b] is first and [b]Kimberly[/b] is second. The rest of you can decide on your marching order. In addition to [b]Jimmy[/b] and [b]Gary[/b], [b]Wallace[/b] and [b]Luke[/b] are also with you, and both have rifles. Also, everyone, please roll Sneak. The base skill is 10%.

[Starspawn338]

After Bo and Kimberly go down, Gary will motion to Jimmy to follow them.

"Wallace, you go after Jimmy. Luke, you want to take rear?" Gary says to the others. He wants to keep Wallace in front of him just in case so he will head down right behind him.

[Leonulf]

Jimmy follows them down the stairs, trying carefully to keep quiet.

10:34 AM
On the stairs-
Luke nodded and followed Gary down the stairs, bringing up the rear. Luke wasn't all that quiet, in spite of his skill in hunting. He was more used to stalking prey in the woods, not in a building. Kimberly also wasn't as silent as she would have wished, her haste making her less stealthy.

Everyone entered a large underground warehouse with many crates stacked throughout. At the far end of the warehouse was another stairway leading downward.

OOC,[b]Wallace[/b]'s Sneak roll (10% base skill) on the stairs: [dice]0[/dice] [b]Bo[/b]'s Sneak roll (41% skill) on the stairs: [dice]1[/dice] [b]Luke[/b]'s Sneak roll (40% skill) on the stairs: [dice]2[/dice] [b]Kimberly[/b]'s Sneak roll (48% skill) on the stairs: [dice]3[/dice] Everyone, please roll Listen. The base skill is 25%.

[Starspawn338]

OOC,Listen 25 [dice]0[/dice]

Gary felt quiet compared to the others but he knew that he wasn't going to be sneaking around undetected for long. He felt much better using the crates in this room as cover as he advanced to the next stairway.

[Mr. Handy]

10:35 AM
In the warehouse-
As the group crept through the warehouse, Luke suddenly stopped and held up a hand. "Quick, hide," he whispered.

OOC,[b]Jimmy[/b]'s Listen roll (45% skill) in the warehouse: [dice]0[/dice] [b]Wallace[/b]'s Listen roll (49% skill) in the warehouse: [dice]1[/dice] [b]Bo[/b]'s Listen roll (47% skill) in the warehouse: [dice]2[/dice] [b]Luke[/b]'s Listen roll (65% skill) in the warehouse: [dice]3[/dice] [b]Kimberly[/b]'s Listen roll (57% skill) in the warehouse: [dice]4[/dice] If you want to hide, please roll Hide. The base skill is 10%.

Jimmy,[b]Jimmy[/b] could hear footsteps moving quietly up the stairs from below.

Luke,[b]Luke[/b] could hear footsteps moving quietly up the stairs from below. There was one pair that was very obvious,and two more that were very good at not being heard...but not quite good enough.
