Re: The Consumption!
Before Emmett can begin to push the ambulance, a body runs out of the darkness and rushes at him. A man with a slower reaction time would've been tackled by the blood-covered Infected, but not Emmett.
SpoilerKuma Da, remember to tell me exactly what you are rolling as well as what for. What attribute and skill are you using? I don't know what you rolled to unstick the ambulance. I'd say a Difficult Strength Test, which is what I think you did.

Emmet gives the rushing creature a half-second to close on him, then mule-kicks backwards into the area where its stomach should be.
"Watch my back, ******!"
SpoilerWhoops. Yeah. It was just d10 plus strength to unstick the ambulance.

Re: The Consumption!
SpoilerTechnically you should've used DEX instead of STR for a kick, but you were also sort of propelling it away from you instead of attacking so I'll let it slide. Since you are a beast of a man, you should also roll damage for you kick.
D4 x STR+1
Which brings me to something else. In this game, should I roll damage or should you guys? What do you prefer?

Re: The Consumption!
Marshall grabs a screwdriver and if the zombie attempts to get back into the door before Emmett gets in, he will throw the screwdriver at the zombie.
SpoilerThat would be a dexterity roll, but since I don't know if I need to roll, I will waitThanks goes to Vampire Pumpkin for my awesome avatar!

Re: The Consumption!
SpoilerI think you should roll damage in the future (or any rolls triggered by player rolls, for that matter,) to keep the game moving quickly. Here, though, I'll roll damage for the kick. If possible, could it be translated instead into feet the infected is propelled backwards by?

Re: The Consumption!
The body goes flying back several feet, the sound of breaking ribs echoing in the silent garage. Emmett scrambles back into the seat and shuts the door.
The thing snarls, but it's invisible in the darkness of the garage.
SpoilerJesus, Emmett is a beast. Unfortunately kicking something back twenty feet is a little unrealistic, but I'll have it kicked a good distance away.

Re: The Consumption!
Emmett Bower
Emmet considers for a half second, then swings the ambulance door back open and hops out.
"Get this thing over to the door. I'll open it up, and don't you dare drive off without me."
He crosses the garage at a full sprint, doing his best to keep his head down and his shoulders squared in case anything else makes the mistake of jumping him. He's looking for that switch.
SpoilerYes, Emmett is a massive beast. He has a pretty good share of weaknesses, though, and those should start coming out more visibly when things calm down and I get the chance to roleplay the rest of his character.

Re: The Consumption!
Emmett gropes around in the darkness of the car garage, which stinks of gasoline and...blood. It's not a pleasant combination of odours. After a couple minutes of blind searching, while Marshal maneuvers the ambulance into place, Emmett manages to find a switch.
In the darkness, he thinks he can spot the form of the Infected he just kicked. It's on the floor, still breathing but obviously seriously injured. Expecting it to charge, he's surprised to see it crawl away into a doorway.
SpoilerThe switch opens the garage door.

Re: The Consumption!

Leave it.
Emmett flips the switch, watching his hand as it does so. There's only the vaguest tingle of sensation that passes up his fingers.
"Let's go."
He dashes back to the ambulance and clambers into the passenger's seat.

Re: The Consumption!
The mechanical garage door begins to open slowly. The cranking of gears up ahead and the slow groan of old metal all seem dangerously loud in the cramped confines of the garage.
The scene outside is eerily calm. Save for the excessive amount of litter, newspapers and debris on the road, and two crudely parked cars with the car doors on the driver's side still open, everything is silent and calm. There are some black smears on the road that lead into shadowed alleys. They are either blood smears of tire burns.

Re: The Consumption!

Not wanting to linger any longer in the parking garage, Emmett takes the wheel and guides the ambulance out onto the streets. He takes care to keep away from the yawning mouths of the alleys and follows the road signs, looking for the shortest route out of town.

Re: The Consumption!
For about five minutes the driving is smooth sailing, the city eerily quiet for an afternoon. The streets are barren save for a couple abandoned vehicles. No Infected, no dead bodies, no sounds. Compared to the sheer terror of the original attack on the community center, it's hard to understand how the city could be so...calm.
At the first major intersection the ambulance comes across, it's immediately clear that driving out of the city isn't an option. As far as the eye can see, the main road is littered with abandoned vehicles - some of them in massive piles of twisted wreckage, others just left, engines still on. The smell of engine fumes and the metallic taint of blood linger in the air. Still no Infected. Still no survivors.

Re: The Consumption!
I don't like this. Something... It just isn't good. Shouldn't there be, you know, hundreds of zombies or something?

Re: The Consumption!

"There are. Either they're not here or we don't see them. Doesn't matter, though. We're not going this way."
Emmett turns the ambulance around and drives back down the street, looking for a hardware store or a couple of abandoned bicycles.

Re: The Consumption!
Turning the car around, Emmett drives slowly along the abandoned roads, looking for bicycles or a hardware store.
The longer the three men stay on the road, the more it seems that being the sole source of light and sound in a city overrun by the violent Infected is not a smart idea. There hasn't been a sound since the attack in the garage.
Emmett soon spots a small hardware store close to the garage exit. The weathered awning outside declares it 'Al's Home Hardware'. The lights are still on inside, and a flickering neon sign establishes it as OPEN FOR BUSINESS.

Re: The Consumption!
Emmett Bower
"I'm going in. Grabbing supplies. Keep the doors closed. Keep the windows up. Be ready to drive if anything hungry comes knocking. If I'm not back in two minutes, get outta here."
Emmett departs the ambulance and heads inside the store, taking care not to open the door too quickly. The last thing he needs is a bell or a chattering of chimes giving him away.
Once inside, he picks a likely aisle and darts down it, looking for an axe or a crowbar or anything heavy enough to swing.
SpoilerNotice, preferably for an axe or a hatchet: (1d10)[5]+7

Re: The Consumption!
Emmett Bower
Emmett emerges from the store holding a hatchet, a crowbar, and a power drill. Yanking open the door to the ambulance, he tosses the last two in.
"Sign in there said there was a man with a gun in the back. He's probably meat by now. Can either of you two shoot?"

Re: The Consumption!
Depends on what we're shooting with. If its a handgun, I can shoot it. Don't use rifles much though.

Re: The Consumption!
SpoilerOOC
Guys, this game is moving too fast. I thought it was going to be in a more paced way. I can usually post about twice / day or so. Sorry about not posting more =p

Re: The Consumption!
Emmett has been gone for about a minute.
SpoilerCan you both roll Perception rolls? So roll a d10 plus your Perception, and plus your Notice skill if you have it. If you don't roll within 12 hours of this post I will roll for you.
Example. If my character had a Perception of 2 and a Notice skill of 2, I would roll = [roll]d10[/roll]+4
If he had a Perception skills of 2 but no Notice skill, I would roll = [roll]d10[/roll]+2
You have to get a 9 or better to succeed.
Don't worry about it Galliun, but the more frequent you post the better. Twice a day is good.Last edited by gardenphilosoph; 2009-02-24 at 02:50 AM.

He turns to his companion and speaks, his voice shaky.
"Oooh crap, this isn't good. Did you hear that? I think he's in trouble. Oooh crap..."
Nathan stands up.
"I kinda feel like shouting and seeing if he's ok, but that's probably retarded. Any suggestions?"Last edited by Galliun; 2009-02-24 at 11:47 PM.

Re: The Consumption!
The man, lost in thought, appeared to stay lost in it to Nathan.
About a minute, the man started speaking, slowly:
Well, I can't see how making too much noise would help the situation. That would probably attract zombies...
Personally, I think we should go over, but we don't have weapons. Granted, he may have found a couple, but I don't want to rely on that. If we are doing anything, we are sticking together. You're choice, since its your gut, or ears in this case.Thanks goes to Vampire Pumpkin for my awesome avatar!
