IC-Attack of the Nazi Zombies(Jimmy/Wallace/Bo/Gary/Kim)

[Mr. Handy]

Z-Day - 10:38 AM Mountain Time - Prairie Militia Society Compound
In the warehouse-
Kimberly reloaded her shotgun to replace the two shells she had fired, and Bo did likewise with three shells.

Jimmy retrieved the shotgun from the skinhead that Luke had killed, who hadn't had a chance to even fire. It was a pump-action shotgun, fully loaded with five shells, and the dead man had another ten in his belt pouches that Jimmy claimed. He also had a 9mm automatic pistol, two spare magazines for it, and a switchblade on his belt, so Jimmy took those too.

Kimberly nodded at Gary's statement. "You're right, let's keep moving," she said. "It's too bad about Luke, but there's nothing more we can do for him. We can still save those girls, though. Bo, you take point. I'll be right behind you." The group headed for the stairs leading down.

"Did you hear that?" whispered Wallace. "Sounds like moaning, from behind us."

Kimberly looked back and gasped. Behind them, Luke sat up, his eyes red with hunger...

As if that weren't bad enough, there was a sudden rumble and shaking of the ground below, as if a minor earthquake had just occurred.

OOC,Everyone, please roll Sanity for seeing [b]Luke[/b] rise up as a zombie. Sanity loss is 1/1D8. Note that this is a new chapter, so you are no longer used to seeing zombies and will suffer the full loss you roll if you fail. If you lose 5 or more Sanity, please roll Idea. If that roll succeeds, you go temporarily insane. As long as you do not go temporarily insane, you may act freely and before the zombie does in this combat round. The zombie is about twenty feet (almost 7 yards) away from your group.

[Dave Syrinx]

Having taken point and being on his way towards the stairs going down, Bo is intent on reaching them and letting the others deal with Luke. Besides, shooting with the shotgun past the others is not a good idea. He keeps the single barrel shotgun dead center at the stairs while closing in the gap. "Let´s move on guys!" As he gets closer his mind plays back the last few seconds. He tries to shrug the memories off....

Gary turns around at the moaning and while he is dismayed at Luke getting back up, it's not the Luke he knew. He's seen others do this before though and it only momentarily surprises him. He wheels his gun around to take a shot at Luke.

10:38:12 AM
In the warehouse-
Kimberly and Jimmy whirled and fired their shotguns at Luke as he rose, Jimmy screaming in terror. KImberly's blast sailed right over his shoulder, but Jimmy managed to hit him in one leg while Gary's rifle shot struck his other. Wallace fired his rifle as well, striking Luke in the center of mass.

Luke didn't even seem to notice. He lurched forward, fumbling at Gary as he bit him in the side. An intense agony shot through him.

Bo started down the stairs as he heard the gunfire and scream behind him. It would take him a while to get down them if he wanted to continue.

OOC,[b]Jimmy[/b]'s Sanity roll (current level 69) for seeing zombie [b]Luke[/b]: 0 Sanity loss: 3 [b]Wallace[/b]'s Sanity roll (current level 55) for seeing zombie [b]Luke[/b]: 1 [b]Kimberly[/b]'s Sanity roll (current level 72) for seeing zombie [b]Luke[/b]: 2 [b]Kimberly[/b]'s Shotgun roll (57% skill) shooting at zombie [b]Luke[/b]: 4 [b]Jimmy[/b]'s Shotgun roll (30% base skill) shooting at zombie [b]Luke[/b]: 5 Hit location: 6 Damage: 7 [b]Wallace[/b]'s Rifle roll (66% skill) shooting at zombie [b]Luke[/b]: 8 Hit location: 9 Damage: 10 Zombie [b]Luke[/b]'s target (1=Jimmy, 2=Wallace, 3=Gary, 4=Kimberly): 11 Zombie [b]Luke[/b]'s Bite attack (30% chance) on [b]Gary[/b]: 12 Hit location: 15 Damage from Bite attack: 14 Zombie [b]Luke[/b]'s Grapple attack (25% chance) on [b]Gary[/b]: 13 [b]Gary[/b], please roll Sanity for being bitten. Sanity loss is 0/1D10. Everyone may act now. [b]Gary[/b], you cannot fire your rifle while the zombie is this close, as the barrel is too long, but you may make a hand to hand attack. Hitting it with the rifle uses your Large Club skill. [b]Bo[/b], you may not attack this round, as you can no longer see the zombie. If you wish to head back up this round, you'll be in position for an attack next round.

[Dave Syrinx]

Finding himself in the stairwell, Bo continues downwards. He sticks to the hope that the other three will be capable to ward off the threat. That, and his dwindling sanity might be making Bo Richards a less courageous man than he ever has been. He comforts himself by gripping the shotgun tight and aiming down the barrel while descending.

"Aww hell no. You ain't eating me bro." Gary yells as he tries to club Luke and push him away.

[Mr. Handy]

10:38:24 AM
In the warehouse-
Gary caved in Luke's skull with his rifle butt, and the hunter fell for the final time.

OOC,Yes, you can target the head in melee. When in melee with a zombie, that results in only a -5 penalty, as zombies don't defend themselves. Since that roll hit anyway, I'll count that as a head hit. Everyone, please roll Spot Hidden. The base skill is 25%.

On the stairs-
Bo kept heading down. He was almost to the landing about halfway down the first flight of stairs.

[Dave Syrinx]

Bo keeps on keeping on downeards.

OOC,Spot Hidden 56 0

As he pushes what used to be Luke away from him, Gary winces at the pain in his side.

"Damn it! He bit me." Gary looks around and readies his rifle. "We should get going before more show up."

[Mr. Handy]

In the warehouse-
No sooner had Gary said this than one of the dead skinheads at the top of the stairs leading down rose up and shambled toward them.

OOC,[b]Jimmy[/b]'s Spot Hidden roll (55% skill) in the warehouse: 0 [b]Wallace[/b]'s Spot Hidden roll (50% skill) in the warehouse: 1 [b]Kimberly[/b]'s Spot Hidden roll (52% skill) in the warehouse: 2 Everyone, please roll Sanity for seeing this zombie. Sanity loss is 1/1D8 again, and all the same rules apply. [b]Gary[/b], since you've lost 1 Sanity from seeing one this chapter already, if you roll 8, you only lose 7. If you do not go temporarily insane, you may act before the zombie does. The zombie is about twenty feet away.

Gary sees another infected person rise up and he moves up to it and attempts to club it in the head also.

10:38:36 AM
In the warehouse-
Kimberly whirled and fired at the newly risen skinhead, her blast passing over its shoulder. An instant later, Jimmy blasted it in the chest with his own shotgun, knocking it back a little but otherwise not doing much damage. Wallace's mind was almost shattered, but he didn't really understand what he was seeing. Instinctively he raised his rifle and shot it in the torso as well, though that was no more effective than the shotgun had been. Finally, Gary swung his rifle butt at the zombie's shaved head, missing narrowly. It fumbled toward him, but he eluded its grasp.

Then one of the other dead skinheads at the top of the stairs, the one that had had its arm blown off, rose unsteadily to its feet. The severed arm too began to twitch, its fingers flexing.

OOC,[b]Jimmy[/b]'s Sanity roll (current level 65) for seeing the zombie: 0 [b]Wallace[/b]'s Sanity roll (current level 54) for seeing the zombie: 1 Sanity loss for seeing the zombie (maximum of 7): 3 [b]Wallace[/b]'s Idea roll (65% stat) to avoid temporary insanity - failure is good: 4 [b]Kimberly[/b]'s Sanity roll (current level 71) for seeing the zombie: 2 [b]Kimberly[/b]'s Shotgun roll (57% skill) shooting at the zombie: 5 [b]Jimmy[/b]'s Shotgun roll (50% skill) shooting at the zombie: 6 Hit location: 7 Damage to zombie: 8 [b]Wallace[/b]'s Rifle roll (66% skill) shooting at the zombie: 9 Hit location: 10 Damage: 11 Zombie skinhead's Grapple attack (25% chance) on [b]Gary[/b]: 12 Zombie skinhead's Bite attack (30% chance) on [b]Gary[/b]: 13 Everyone in the warehouse except [b]Wallace[/b] must roll Sanity again for seeing the zombie. [b]Wallace[/b] already lost the maximum, so he is used to zombies for now. Sanity loss is 1/1D8. [b]Gary[/b], you've lost 2 Sanity already, so any loss of more than 6 counts as only 6. If you lose 5 or more, you must roll Idea, and if you succeed at that you go temporarily insane. As long as that doesn't happen, you may act freely. Targeting a zombie's head in melee has a -5 penalty, but the earlier attack would have missed either way.

On the stairs-
Bo rounded the landing and continued down the flight of stairs. He could hear the continuing gunfire above.

[Dave Syrinx]

Bo understands that the others have walked into a mess. A mess he only narrowly had missed. He backtracks and moves back up the stairs to help clear out the passage down.

As Gary sees another dead skinhead stagger to his feet with his severed arm still scrabbling around on the ground, he loses his composure and begins to shout.

You're supposed to be dead. This can't be happening. Why won't you die? DIE!" He swings his rifle barrel again at the dead man walking's head.

10:38:48 AM
In the warehouse-
Kimberly and Jimmy fired their shotguns at the newly risen zombie, only to miss, though Kimberly didn't miss by much. Wallace shot it right in the heart, but it barely slowed down. Gary swung his rifle butt at the head of the zombie he was fighting again, but his rage caused him to miss once more. Then the dead attacked. The one-armed zombie turned toward Wallace and staggered at him, its flashing teeth narrowly missing his arm. The zombie Gary fought flailed ineffectually at him.

OOC,[b]Gary[/b], the good news is that you're now used to the sight of zombies again (for now). The bad news is that you're now indefinitely insane from losing 20% or more of your Sanity in a short period of time. The insanity will kick in after the combat ends, assuming you survive.

[b]Gary[/b], you may act again.

On the stairs-
Bo turned around and ran back upstairs, passing the landing again on his way up. It would still take him a little longer to reach the top.

[Starspawn338]

Gary has a tenuous grip on reality right now. He knows this can't be real but he also can't quite bring himself to wake up from this nightmare and so he continues to swing at the head of the undead.

Bo Richards keeping his aim high as he turns the next bend in the stairs. Expecting anything to jump over him as he hear the rumble up top.

[Mr. Handy]

10:39 AM
In the warehouse-
Gary bashed in the dead skinhead's skull with the butt of his rifle, and he fell just as easily as Luke had.

With the one-armed skinhead in Wallace's face, Kimberly and Jimmy did not fire their shotguns for fear of hitting him by mistake. Wallace also could not bring his rifle to bear at such close range. Instead, they tried in vain to bring it down by bashing it with their long guns. The skinhead's gnashing jaws fell far short of Wallace this time, but it incredibly managed to wrap its single arm tightly around the truck driver's chest and began to crush him.

The rolls above were made with the old dice roller, and I can no longer see them. Since I don't know what you rolled, I'll roll again for Gary.

On the stairs-
Bo continued running back upstairs. He was almost to the top.

[Starspawn338]

As the skinhead on him goes down, Gary yells, "I'm going to kill all you!" and heads to the one armed zombie, attempting to club him in the head also to save Wallace.

[Mr. Handy]

10:39:12 AM
In the warehouse-
As the dead skinhead wrestled Wallace to the floor, Gary tried to bring the butt of his rifle down on its head, but they rolled at the wrong time. Gary accidentally brought down his rifle butt on Wallace's right leg with a sickening crunch! Walalce gritted his teeth and somehow managed to keep from blacking out from the pain. Kimberly and Jimmy again tried to bludgeon the dead man to no avail. As the one-armed corpse squeezed Wallace nearly to death, he desperately raised his own rifle's butt and crushed the dead man's skull with it. The cadaver's grip slackened, and it lay still. Bo finally reached the top of the stairs and entered the warehouse.

"I think my leg's broke," groaned Wallace. "I can't handle those stairs, I'd only slow you down. I'll guard your backs. Go on down there without me and save those girls."
