(Risus) Dawn of the Dead: Highway from Hell

[Nero Grimes]

"If we don't have any way to quietly poke the zombies out of the way, since gun shots would just bring a horde onto us, maybe our best bet to get past the bridge is to just fight the few that are left"

Arturo will lead the charge in, leaping at a rotter, and beating its head with his wrench.

(3d6)[10]

Back to the game.

GM: Arturo steps around the beyond car and cracks the zombie square in the head.

NPC Mike right behind him.

Ana gathers Rebecca in her arms and follows.

He looks around.

[Nero Grimes]

The two zombies at the mouth of the bridge turn toward Arturo.

[Nero Grimes]

With Arturo and NPC Mike staring down the two zombies, NPC Matt signals to them. He points to himself and Ana, then makes a looping motion with his left arm.

Ana moves away from the van, Rebecca clings tighter, NPC Matt picks up the heavy knapsack in the next to where the girl was, and gives the van a quick search.


(1d6)[4]

Nothing useful.

[Nero Grimes]

Ana starts slowly behind NPC Matt, two rows of cars be tween them and the zombies they are flanking.

(1d6)[5]

[Nero Grimes]

At the mouth of the bridge Ana sets Rebecca on the trunk of one of the car in the wreck.

NPC Matt covers them from a short distance away.

[mrzomby]

Arturo will sneak around and try to get behind the rotters, forming a triangle around them, 1 point being matt, 1 being ana, and 1 being art.

Arturo also takes his wrench in both hands, gripping it extremely tight before charging into the group of zombies.

(3d6)[3][4][1](8) combat roll

A 9 is good to shatter a hand of the closest zombie. The second zombie moves to Arturo.

Ana is burdened with child, NPC Matt spends his action to run to help. NPC Mike is next to Arturo. He swings crowbar.

(3d6)[3][4][1](8)

Whiff. He cracks the first zombie's shoulder.

Now the second zombie is on them.

[Nero Grimes]

Zombie Horde (2) makes a grab for Arturo.

(2d6)[4][5](9)

the dice are cold today.

[mrzomby]

Arturo loudly curses as he is getting clawed by the zombie, and immediately lashes out with his weapon, attempting to break its neck and decapitate it.

OOC:The zombies roll was enough to damage my dice, right? since we both got 9?

No. It's a draw. No harm no foul. Your attack stunned them. You get another action.

NPC Mike is another matter.

[Nero Grimes]

One of the zombies catches NPC Mike's iron.

He pushes the iron hard at the zombie.
Baton training from his old SWAT days.

(2d6)[5][3](8)

Crap. The zombie catches hold of NPC Mike.

I knew I should have rewritten NPC Mike's cliches. Hunter (3) doesn't allow the use of a pistol.

I may have to burn a RP for Second Wind.

Let's see where NPC Matt is.

Back to Risus

Going with the Deadly Combat rules and Manu's Every Roll is a Contest rule.

Crap. The zombie catches hold of NPC Mike.

I knew I should have rewritten NPC Mike's cliches. Hunter (3) doesn't allow the use of a pistol.

I may have to burn a RP for Second Wind.

Well I'm not using the Inappropriate rule and neither cliche is broad enough to any good with a tight-*ssed GM.

Time to get the storyline moving again.

I burn a RP for Second Wind.

NPC Mike pulls his pistol.

Zombie Horde

The point blank shot blows the zombie's brains out the back of its head.

Neither gunshot woke the neighbors.

Mike wrenches his iron free of the zombie's grip. He's breathing heavily and wavers when he walks.

His Ex-SWAT cliche goes back to (1)
