Re: Chapter 7: Owen’s Research
Alice screams in terror as four of the body parts drag themselves towards her. Coming to her senses quickly, she levels her shotgun at them, hoping to catch them all in the spread.

Re: Chapter 7: Owen’s Research
An arm and a torso with a mutilated head barely attached move to attack Harrison. He steps to the side and swings his hatchet down onto the skull, stopping the body from moving any closer. However, the arm still manages to grab onto his leg, digging its jagged fingernails through his pants leg and into his flesh. Harrison shouts in pain.

Re: Chapter 7: Owen’s Research
A severed leg hops its way towards Alice, but she blasts it to bits with the first barrel from her shotgun. Before she can fire again, a hand crawls onto her leg, dragging her to the ground, and then a limbless torso crushes her.

Henry Glynn
Henry is mobbed by angry limbs and wrestled violently to the ground. He turns to Alice and splutters something earnest that no one can make out.

Re: Chapter 7: Owen’s Research
OOC: some quick rule lawyering before we get a TPK!! Guys & gals, if these are considered hand-to-hand (pun intended, the rulebook calls them "Personal attacks"), then we get the option to Dodge or Parry! One Parry per combat round, at half % of the weapon skill. You can Parry and Dodge on the same round. If you Dodge, you cannot attack, but I don't see any limitations on how many times can you Dodge on one round.
6th ed. rulebook, p. 58, 59, 60
HoneyDog, are these viable options?

Isadora Carmichael
"Don't touch me! Get away from me!" Isadora screams as three severed parts crawl towards her, like flesh colored nightmare spiders. She tries to avoid them at all cost, while trying to back off towards the stairs.
Edit: damage reduction
[dice]9[/dice]
She successfully avoids two attacks, but the third arm grabs her throat...
Isadora is unable to peel it off!
But hopefully she reaches the stairs and starts to climb them. She cannot stay in this accursed basement!

Re: Chapter 7: Owen’s Research
Harrison attempts to pull the detached arm off but he is unable to pry the wretched thing's fingers from his leg. He winces in pain as it continues to dig into him. Swinging his hatchet at it, he fears hitting himself and misses wide.

Alice presses the second barrel of the shotgun against the torso and pulls the trigger, blasting it into meaty chunks and showering herself with blood and viscera. Try as she might, though, she cannot dislodge the hand that has gripped her leg.

Re: Chapter 7: Owen’s Research
Thanks to his years of experience, the effects of witnessing this awful scene have a minimal affect on Harden, although he is still badly shaken. He is beset by 4 of the vile crawling body parts. Thankfully, none are able to gain any purchase on him as he moves out the way. One, an errant hand, in its homicidal eagerness to attack, accidentally seizes another limb, preventing its assault.
Steeling himself, he takes aim with his .45 and fires.
The first shot misses, but his second finds its mark, and a hand is blown into chunks of flesh, which twitch uncontrollably.
Patrolman Fogarty is less experienced, but the sight of the room doesn’t affect him too badly. However the sight of 4 body parts crawling towards him is too much for the young cop. He sinks to his knees, his eyes opaque, and then collapses to the ground, hugging himself. The body parts crawl over him, and begin to squeeze…

Henry Glynn
Henry is attacked by two limbs - he shakes off one and tries in vain to stab the other one with his pocket knife

Isadora Carmichael
Isadora runs up the stairs, followed by two limbs... One misses, the second hits, but doesn't cause any significant pain.
However, despite all her efforts, Isadora cannot get rid of the hand choking her!!
She wants to reach one of the cars, and lock herself inside...
