Re: Chapter One: ‘And the dead shall walk the earth’
Pedro grabs a couple of chairs as he follows the others through the door. When they're all on the other side, he uses them to wedge the door shut.

Re: Chapter One: ‘And the dead shall walk the earth’
Rest Room, Restaurant, starboard.
With Pedro's fast exit of the restaurant, adding the chairs he has brought to the other bits and pieces grabbed from the rest room, the doors from the restaurant are quickly barricaded.
Luke, with the woman and child in close proximity, opens the door to the corridor a crack and looks out. All seems quiet, to his left the coridor leads back to the stern stairs and the door to the outside of deck 3, which the others had blocked to stop the infected. The silence tells him that that group has gone.
To his right the corridor leads to the bow stairs, nothing is moving in that direction. The woman, unspeaking, indicates right.
Within moments of the last piece being added to the barricade at the door, it shudders as hit by a large, heavy object. It makes you think of someone smashing into the door at pace, trying to use a combination of speed and strength to break the door in.
Katie screams and runs to her father. Gabriella holds tighter to Marcello who looks toward the baseball player with a wide eyed stare...

In a whisper Marcello says:
-Let's get out of here: this barricade won't hold much time.

Pedro nods and gestures towards the right, following the others once they start moving.

Re: Chapter One: ‘And the dead shall walk the earth’
Luke nods at the woman and looks behind at the tail of their group and the almost collapsing door .
"If anyone's still got that fire extinguisher, spray it out behind us!"
He then dashes off to the bow stairs to start the ascend to freedom, to salvation and, hopefully, to survival.

Re: Chapter One: ‘And the dead shall walk the earth’
Deck 3, starboard passageway:
Luke rapidly, and closely followed by the woman and the child, make a dash for the bows stairwell. As he runs so Luke shouts back over his shoulder, as he does so he sees a huge horde of infected appear at the stairwell at the opposite end of the passageway.
No need for rolls here that suddenly appearing horde is'nt attempting to be sneaky. At the speed they are moving you estimate that you can make the stairwell at the bows with ease.
However at that moment the lead elements of the horde are thrust aside and something knew appears in front. It shares the same basic characteristics of the other infected, but rather than moving at a slow shamble this one is running - fast...

Re: Chapter One: ‘And the dead shall walk the earth’
As soon as Marcello at the stairs he will spray it.
-I'm starting to be good at this- Marcello says as a joke.

Deck 3, passageway, starboard.
At Marcello's joke, Gabriella, who is also looking back, grips his arm with a fierce pressure, "I don't think we have that long - look!"
Behind you the fast moving infected is closing rapidly, you guess time is of the essence here.

Re: Chapter One: ‘And the dead shall walk the earth’
Knowing that he'll have little chance of hitting the head with a shot due to the low light and the infected's speed, Pedro instead engages the safety and grips the MP5 like a club with both hands so that he can swing the stock at the thing's head once it gets close enough unless someone else with a gun takes it out first.

Re: Chapter One: ‘And the dead shall walk the earth’
Luke stares out of his big eyes behind the even bigger glasses, his shoulders hanging and his mouth wide open with stupefaction. After pushing the woman and her daughter further up the stairs, he feels an outburst of adrenaline pumping through his veins, causing his body to tremble and his teeth clench. As if everything around it had disappeared, his vision is locked on the alpha zombie.
"Not here, not by you!" he grunts between his still clenched teeth. He branches himself against the stairs he's standing on, firmly grips the MP5 and squeezes the trigger to release a hail of bullets down on the terrifying foe. Combining all his anger and other emotions gathered in the last couple of hours, as if he's actually shooting chunks of his very own body and soul, the burst of automatic fire is accompanied by a massive primal scream.

Re: Chapter One: ‘And the dead shall walk the earth’
Marcello makes a quick spray to the stairs and then run.
"Pity nobody is filming this- thinks Marcello- I would look a real hero and that would boost my next election!".

Re: Chapter One: ‘And the dead shall walk the earth’
The stairwell, Deck 3 bows:
Luke: In the limited light you can see the fast moving figure as it closes on the rear members of the group. As you brace yourself for the recoil of the MP5 you see Pedro reverse his grip on the MP5 he is carrying and hold it slightly above his shoulder as if readying to hit the biggest ball of his career, while at the same time the Itallian, Marcello, begins to let the foam of the fire extinguisher coat the floor of the passageway, with a snarl of defiance you let loose a fully automatic burst from the MP5.
OOC: To fire the machine gun requires 1d10 + dex (3) + guns (Which you do not have) Target number 12 (9 + 2 low light + 1 fast moving target). If successful roll 4d6 damage multiplied by the number of shots you have fired 8 being the max after that the magazine is empty.
Marcello: You release the contents of the extinguisher liberaly coating the passageways flooring.
Pedro: You stand ready to hit anything that comes through the foam that Marcello is spraying.
Ricky releases Katie's hand for a moment turns and drops to one knee. Even in the limited light available it is easy to see that he is sighting the pistol. Gabriella continues her run for the stairwell a scream building as she runs.
Everyone: although the stairwell contains stairs down to deck 4 there are no stairs going up from your deck, what you need is to turn left on the stairs and access the passageway to the port side of deck 3, There you will find Jonathan and the other lifeboats. Good luck- you may need it.

Re: Chapter One: ‘And the dead shall walk the earth’
OOC: Do I have to make seperate rolls for every shot? I want to empty the entire magazine on the fucker
Re: Chapter One: ‘And the dead shall walk the earth’
OOC: No just hit. If the hit is successful roll damage which for a 9mm is 4d6, then multiply that by the number of bullets you fired, A full atutomatic burst is ten shots but you have only eight in your magazine. You would only have to roll individualy for each bullet is you were aiming, and then you would not be able to fire on fully automatic.Mr. Pear wrote:OOC: Do I have to make seperate rolls for every shot?

Re: Chapter One: ‘And the dead shall walk the earth’
Although giving him a strange sort of therapeutic satisfaction, Lukes bullets go wide.
Re: Chapter One: ‘And the dead shall walk the earth’
Ricky takes a deep breath and aims his weapon, trying to drown out the sound of the flying bullets and Mary's screams. He waits to see the results of the other gunshots, letting loose with his own only if neccesary.

Re: Chapter One: ‘And the dead shall walk the earth’
OOC: Not sure how you calculated the above. To fire your pistol is 1d10 + Perception (2) aiming +1 for your gun skill,Garrett wrote:Ricky takes a deep breath and aims his weapon, trying to drown out the sound of the flying bullets and Mary's screams.

I will give you an extra +1 for kneeling. So that would give you 1d10 + 4 before minuses. However to aim you roll 1d10 +3 and each success level gained adds +1 to your hit roll (Success levels are each two whole numbers over 9 So 11 is one success 13 two)
Please roll again Target is 16 (9 + 2 low light + 1fast moving target + 4 aiming at head). This is assuming you are trying for a head shot if not drop the target number by 4. If you fire automatic you can fire three shots each successive shot is at -1 to hit (recoil).

Re: Chapter One: ‘And the dead shall walk the earth’
Deck 3 passage near the bows stairwell:
The hail of gunfire misses its target. Having coated the floor with foam, Marcello quickly rushes for the stairs.
Pedro stands firm MP5 raised club like to hammer the fast approaching figure. However before he can act the foam has the desired effect and floors the running infected, who continues sliding on the slippery surface toward the waiting Pedro.
OOC: Luke missed with his fire, and as Garrett has made no answer to my post, I have judged that Ricky missed as well.
