    Actually, remember he brought you guys the power drill and crowbar, plus you have small tools like the hammer and wrench in Marshal's toolbelt. Not really the best weapons, but they can provide some defense.

    I know, but I meant no good weapons. Both of them aren't the strongest, so they would think guns, I would think

    Nathan sighs.

    "Do you think you can swing this thing well?", he asks, pointing at the crowbar.

    If the answer is negative, Nathan nods.

    "Damn. Well, that will have to do. I'll play the part of the big muscle monkey and you alert me if anything is on our heels or something. Deal?"

    Emmett Bower

    A figure shambles out of the storefront. It's drenched in gore and carries a dripping hatchet in one hand. There's a pistol stuck through one of the loops in its trousers.

    "I got the gun," it grates, then starts towards the ambulance.

    Post Re: The Consumption!

    What? Was there an army of zombies in there or something?

    Turning to Nathan, Marshall says:

    Well, guess we don't need to save him after all. By the way, next time you decide you want to be the hero, don't. You don't have the strength to- hell, I barely do.

    However, we need to check you Emmett. I don't want to face a tank like zombie if you end up infected from that fight.

    "Use the first aid kit in there. Patch me up while we drive. And take this." He hands Nathan the .45. "If you were lying before about being able to shoot it, best leave it on the curb. I don't want anyone putting a wrong round into my back."

    Emmett climbs into the back of the ambulance.

    I'm having a heck of a time trimming down Emmett's dialogue, but it's an interesting experience playing a completely disaffected character.

    Minor thing Catseye, but remember, none of you have introduced yourself to the others. You don't even know each other's names. Also, calling these things zombies is something that your character is doing - the media and stuff called them infected. No one knows how the diseases spread, through bites or whatnot. That's your character's assumption.

    That it is garden, that it is, thought I can't seem to remember the name thing.

    I think I have a roll for the med pack on Emmett... (1d10)[7] +2, I believe

    I also want to start working on getting a gun sized hole and an eye sized hole in the back of the van. What would the roll be to make that well, if there even is one?


    ('Sides, the description of the rumors and their actions make them sound like zombies, its not that hard to rationalize a person inferring they are zombie like)

    Marshal is no doctor, but he's seen enough workplace injuries to be able to stitch together the gash on Emmett's back using the needle and thread found in the first aid kit.

    3 LP restored. Catseye, you roll d10 plus your First Aid skill and your Intelligence. It's always a skill plus an attribute, and sometimes just an attribute.

    Yeah, I have no problem that your character infers that they are zombies, it's a pretty likely conclusion, I just wanted to warn you that no one had actually called them the living dead or zombies. Not officially.

    Also, so Emmett handed the handgun to Nathan? Okay. And its a .38, not a .45.

    Continuity errors bound! Although calling the infected 'zombies' makes sense so long as we're not going by the 'people in zombie movies haven't seen zombie movies' rule. Emmett thinks of them as infected, of course, but that's only because he's not conflicted about calling them human. He's determined to save people even if they have only a fraction of a chance of making it, but once they pass that threshold his detachment kicks in and he classifies them the same way he classifies Rachel: beyond hope, salvation, and even casual thought.

    The wound is stitched together and thoroughly cleaned, and a clean bandage is applied. It should heal completely in two or three weeks.

    So, do you happen to know where you are taking us?
    Meanwhile, Marshall gets to work on his pistol posistion at the back of the van. Carefully using his power drill, he makes two holes: one for his eye to see out, and one to shoot his pistol out of. A decent makeshift defense if he succeeds.

    Like it or not, we are as a group as of this moment, by choice or not. I know your strong, but you should be able to realize you can't survive this by yourself, you're going to need help. So, I ask again, where are we going?

    It's been about a half hour since Emmett emerged from Al's Home Hardware, covered a blood and carrying a .38 pistol. It took about fifteen minutes to clean and stitch the gash on his back, and about ten minutes to crudely drill two holes through the right back door of the ambulance, one large enough for the pistol to fit through and the other a couple inches above it, big enough to see through.

    The city remains quiet. After the tense escape from the garage and the frenzied fight in the storeroom of the hardware store, it is a surreal experience to sit and wait outside, in the middle of the street, with nothing to do and nowhere to go.

    The beginnings of hunger and thirst begin to ebb in your bodies. It's been several hours since the last time you ate and drank. Your tongues are starting to run dry.

    That's unfortunate Kuma Da, but I understand. I'll NPC Emmett for now until you come back. Get better soon! I've been absent recently due to internet problems too. My computer has an internet connection, but the browsers can't seem to detected it! Foul technology.

    Okay Catseye and Galliun, the bulk of the game falls on you guys now. Where do you want to go?

    Roll a d10 plus your Perception and Notice skill, if you have it, to remember if you saw a grocery store nearby.

    Also, I definitely have an internet connection - my uTorrent works, but none of my browsers seem to be able to connect. I'm typing on a laptop right now, it's frustrating.

    Across from the community center, right where you emerged, you remember a small Asian grocery store, fruit stands sprawled over in the street and dozens of crushed fruit amongst the trash of the street.

    Emmett begins to drive there.

    Is there anything I can do to fix this lull in action?

    My main computer is no longer connected to the Internet so if my posting is infrequent, that is the reason. I will try to keep the game going as regular as possible though.
