Since Zenko had a readied action, that went off when the person/zombie broke through his door. Since I don't know the result of the shot yet, I can't exactly plan around what he would do next. So I'll list two possibilities:

Zenko would move to his door, slowly open it and make a Spot check ((1d20+0)[6]) for more zombies in the hall.

From the news you only see fooftage of the same thing happenng allover town as well as reaching as far as Chicago (where the gangs do seem to be helping in a F*cked up way) and St.Louis (where Gun-ownership is helping and the entire county of ergeson happens to be looting already......)

you get nothing for the Hotel Phone but dial tone.

form your phone you're getting texts from other people you kn ow that seem to be very panicked. they each end a simalr fashion:
"omg wtf is goin oN *Panic emote*"
"OH **** THERE TRYIN TO GET IT Oh **** ME AHHHHHHHH"
"OMG THEY INIDE!"

Where to go, I don't know... The world itself might be going to H-E-Double Hockeysticks at this rate...

After finishing her survey, Lydia tosses her bags by the window. "Right, we need to leave, get to the car, and make tracks." Lydia declares, a little more assured with a way to escape in mind. "Mommy, please grab your essentials and come get ready. Daddy, are you almost done over there?" she asks, trying to observe around the fire escape and see where it would take them and what might be nearby.

William keeps the line to the police open just in case that clears up (he's about as hopeful as you'd expect) and moves to the right of the door so that if the door opens, he'll see through the crack as soon as it's big enough to see through.

****, I might have to shoot someone... can I do that? ... if I have to I have to... can I? ... maybe it'd be easier if I turned on my GTA playlist... how the hell am I going to do that in the middle of a fight?

And since I'm kinda picking nits with the last question: do the ventilation ducts in this hotel seem like they can fit me and support my weight? (If anything that's probably a dumber question, huh?)

Really hoping it doesn't come down to whether I wait for the what-my-character's-not-yet-aware-are-zombies to find me, or whether I jump out to try to flank the ones that just passed by. If it does, though, did I hear which way they went? Edit: Actually, what did they sound like? I kinda assumed they were zombies rather than the other PCs.

Mark takes the unfamiliar weapon. He has only ever used a semiautomatic handgun before, but he knew the basics. He made sure his finger was not on the trigger and pulled the hammer back then opened the door to look about into the corridor to see what was going on.

Yael notices he's obviously been heard, due to him tripping on the table.

No ambush, then. I guess I'll just surprise them somehow diferent.

The lawyer walks towards the door, and holds it with one hand, standing on the opposite side of the doorknob, holding his gun with a strong grip, and with the other holding the knob.

With a flick of the wrist, he opens the door to the inside of the room, to let whatever was hitting the door fall into the floor, so he could freeze it by pointing at it.

The door still remans mostly intact, though cracks begin to form as Wolf begins pacing in a circle freaking out.

Spoiler: Lydia

Show

Lydia takes the clock and examines it closely. As she does, she chooses her words with the utmost of care. "Once this is all over, I'll buy you a new one, Daddy. For now, just do your best to keep all of us safe." she says, hoisting her bags onto herself and opening the widow. Turning back, she takes a moment to look at both of her parents. "I love you." she states as calmly as possible, before turning back and stepping through the widow, doing her best to not betray her fears or tears as she makes her way down as quietly as she can.

If it is possible for her to go directly to the fence without being noticed and see how to get out from there, Lydia will do so. If there are too many to sneak that way, Lydia will go ahead and activate the alarm for about 10 seconds, and with a second left before it activates, throw it to the other side of the alleyway, and wait to see if that might open up a path for her to take.

It should be easy for me to make any roll you want me to make for both the base scenario or either way this plan might go. Just let me know.

I'm sorry. Maybe I either just misunderstood the implications of your first response or misworded my question. Though this follow up was exactly what I was looking for. There always could have been a chance of this entire situation being just a curse on this city/state, after all, but even questionable rumors concerning the situation in other areas is enough to at least make a guess.

As you sneak out the window you hear the sounds ofa woman yelling form above. She is drawing attention to herself as the horde now moves to beneath her window.

Whether or not I can up with a good plan is a different question.

You said there was no handy fire escape or anything out the window. What is out the window? Nothing that can support my weight? How bad a drop is it?

And since I'm kinda picking nits with the last question: do the ventilation ducts in this hotel seem like they can fit me and support my weight? (If anything that's probably a dumber question, huh?)

Really hoping it doesn't come down to whether I wait for the what-my-character's-not-yet-aware-are-zombies to find me, or whether I jump out to try to flank the ones that just passed by. If it does, though, did I hear which way they went? Edit: Actually, what did they sound like? I kinda assumed they were zombies rather than the other PCs.

There is no Fire escape but there IS a ledge. in theory you could walk it and it SHOULD mange to handle more than your weight.

You're on the top floor of a 6 floor hotel. I DARE you to jump.

They are vents but they are too small to crawl through. I guess they didn't want you pulling a bad spy movie stunt.
