ICC- Zombie Apocalypse- At the Truck Stop

Status
Not open for further replies.
the North Road

" Yes, I see that alright. Any idea what is that trinket? Not an ordinary meteor, Id say." Felice was calling out.

Along comes Michael and then the flying things attacked Alex.

- "Hell" is the word, yes... - Felice says. (OOC: http://invisiblecastle.com/rolldice...s+to+get+a+grip+in+her+sanity&a=Roll+the+dice)
I can not shoot them or I´ll hit the guy. - she says, without a pause - What ARE those things?

Nevertheless, she aims her gun. "Problem is, I dont want to get their attention", she thinks. So Felice presses the butom and her windows are closed. She keeps her gun in her hand, and her hand at the moment ins on her lap.

OOC: Welsh, you said it is not possible to go back with the car, because of the other cars. Any chance to escape with the car going further ahead on the road?

IC:
AT THE JUNKYARD

"Maybe I should have tried to make friends with those guys...Whatever, I am not used to be attached anyway." Jim thinks.

And then comes the arm...(OOC: http://invisiblecastle.com/rolldice...es+to+keep+his+sanity+at+hand&a=Roll+the+dice)

Jim calls out "Help!!!" and backs away, scared to his guts of what is going to show up from under the old wreckage.

OOC:
(Welsh here- NOte to other characters- Both Felice and Jim overcame their sanity rolls.)
 
OCC- Mrs. Foo failed her Debate roll (37% roll vs. 25% skill; invisiblecastle was down so I used physical dice)

IC-
In the parking lot-

"Roger that, Joe," said Bo into the radio. "There's a Trooper Erica Spears in a State Police chopper enroute to Brownson. She's very low on fuel, so the best thing for you to do is to get there and secure a landing zone and any aviation fuel you can find for her. If she has to put down before Brownson, you may need to bring the fuel to her. I'll have to handle things here for now, and I've got some people who can help me out. The roads sound like a mess, so you should stick to the smaller backroads or go off-road if you have to. Be careful. I've got to get back inside soon, so I'll give you back to Sean Blank. Over."

Bo handed the radio back to Sean. "I've thought of an idea that could get us into that storeroom." He summarized it to Sean and Baldwin. "Fill in Jim Kerr on the developments when you can, and the others in our group when they stop by." Bo got out of the car and trotted back to the diner.

"The black truck driver just whacked that old skinhead with a wrench, and Dr. Hausmann's laptop got broken!" Stephanie explained quickly to Bob. "The guy's dying, and Dr. Hausmann's trying to help him. Bo locked the trucker up in his car. I've got to hurry to the motel where there's a guy who can fix it before the batteries give out. I know you could fix it, but that would slow the chopper repairs. Bo and the others can tell you more!" Stephanie ran past Bob and continued towards the motel.

At the motel-
"Please do not be afraid," said Mrs. Foo. "Asia halfway around the world. We have time and we can make it through this." She looked at the priest. "God is in control, and we need to trust Him." She was a little worried herself, but she tried not to let it show. She had confidence in God - and in her husband.
 
Allong the North Road

Alex can feel his body freezing up. He Mannaged to retain his sanity- which made this all the more painfull. He could feel the adrinalin courseing through his veins - though this did little to dull the pain, caused by the creature's sting. He could feel his body stiffining. He was fully awair that the shit had hit the fan. He remembered his community college biology classes, learning about how neuro toxin's worked, How they attacked the body. "God...Help me" he said- his eyes trained on one of the flying critters. He felt the coldness spreading.

In the Junkyard

Wallace looked at Mitchell. "The part will still be here" he said. Wallace was aware of the current happenings, and felt somehow threatened. He remembered the .357 Colt, in his truck. He made a mental note, to grab his pistol.

OOC : Is invisible castle down? I keep getting 404. However, it may just be my computer. My rolls were done by random number, function on a Ti-83 Calculator, Which is essentially the same, though I cannot currently prove my rolls.
 
OCC- In the future please post all roll results in text please. This was if Invisible Castle is down we can play around it. Those using other rollers, just tell me what you roll.

Mr. Handy- feel free to play on Jim Kerr until we have a character for him.

Stompie, do you want to take over Jim should Alex go to that place that marines go when they die?

Zoe- Please note PMs and edit requests.

Colds? Hasn't responded to me since last week thus I played his character- lucky bastard survived to get into the van!

Suaside- a good time to have a pistol out....

Hope you are having fun with this.

At the Road North-
OCC- Zoe are the windows in the Porsche up or down? I know you called out to Alex right before he got stung but I am not sure if you have closed the windows since. Is it a convertible or is a hardtop?

Michael- you are a few steps from your car. You can strive to save Alex from whatever fate had offered him, or get in your car, or run away altogether. YOu are also noticing that Mr. Latham is approaching from his car. I am assuming that the windows in Michael's car are closed, ya?

Michael might also notice that Mr. Latham's car windows are open.

Also note that the gas cloud is expanding rapidly. So are the number of things that are flying out of the meteorite. There is an awful buzzing sound that increases in volume.

In the Hotel-

Mrs. Foo is quickly aware that she is losing control over her guests.

Ellen looks out the window. "Why is there no traffic? Look there is smoke in the distance down the highway. That must be Sidney. Or Brownson... Where is Charlie? What about the Diner? There must be people there. Why is there a helicopter in the diner and what's with the police car?"

Jenny is also panicking "What about the highway? The national guard? Has someone attacked us? Terrorists? Are there terrorists again?"

Azadeh seems to have backed herself to a corner.

(OCC- someone wanting to play Father McCormick might be able to settle down this crowd).
 
In the Diner-

If Horst maintains a pulse it is only because of the efforts of Hausmann delivering CPR. The effort is difficult and despite her knowledge as a doctor, Hausmann can not perform CPR very long.

Sally is aware of this. "Let me take over. I am not getting a pulse Doctor." She says cooly, trying to maintain her professional calm.

Hausmann slides over and lets Sally begin the business of CPR. She can't find a pulse.

Flip remains in the booth watching as the two women work to try to keep Horst alive.

The others watch, already aware that there is no hope.

Haussman sits back and lets out a weary sigh. "I think you can stop... He's gone. I doubt he had much of a chance..."

Sally keeps trying, then lets go. She moves back and looks for something to put over Horsts face.

Charlie is watching it. "Couldn't have happened to a better guy." Says the Indian.

"Shut the fuck up, Charlie. There are paying customers present." Says Hammond.

"That nigga should be killed for what he's done." Says Rita.

Dave shrugs. "Oh I don't know. I reckon Horst died the way he lived, full of piss and anger."

No one is really paying Samantha attention, perhaps because everyone is in the diner watching what has unfolded. Samantha only slowly comes to realize that someone has died in the diner.

Kimberly walks through the door, her druggist kid in hand, but stops when she sees that its too late.

Hausmann shakes her head and looks around, unsure what to do. her laptop has been destroyed. Where is Stephanie? Where is everyone? She looks across at Sally who has found a nearby table cloth to put over Horst.

And then Horsts hand shakes and his eyes open. Except now where they were cold and loveless, they are red and lifeless.

IN the junkyard.

Jim backs away as the dogs take courage and growl at the person digging out from under the ruined Chevy. One arm is now almost free and is joined by another, and the man seems to be pulling himself out from the dirt.

The sound of the dogs barking finally attracts the attention of Wallace and Mitchell who are now curious that something is disturbing the dogs.
 
OCC- Father McCormick succeeded at his Psychology roll (6% roll vs. 55% skill)

Father McCormick succeeded at his Oratory roll (14% roll vs. 75% skill)

IC-
At the motel-
As soon as Mr. Foo began to process the new information, he realized at once what had happened. He would have laughed if the situation weren't so morbid.

Mrs. Foo was helpless to stop her guests from panicking. She knocked on the door to her husband's room and called out in Chinese: "The guests are starting to freak out!"

"The strikes in China and Korea are not nuclear war!" Mr. Foo called back in Chinese. "We didn't nuke China! China nuked China! The governments in Asia are nuking their own cities because of the riots!" He kept the other information to himself for now. No need to worry people further.

"Ah!" Mrs. Foo turned back to her guests and switched to English. "My husband find out nukes in Asia not nuclear war! China and Korea nuke own cities, to stop riots! We going to be okay!"

"I'd say 'saints be praised,'" said Father McCormick, "but surely 'tis the work of the devil himself for them to do such a thing to their own people. I'm glad our government would never stoop so low." Mrs. Foo wasn't so sure of that, but she didn't say anything. No need to make matters worse. "We can all calm down some now. Remember, God is in control. Perhaps I should lead us in prayer. Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed by Thy name..."

"Thy Kingdom come," continued Mrs. Foo, "Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven."

Between the diner and the motel-
Stephanie continued running towards the motel, though not so fast that she'd risk falling and further damaging the computers. She looked both ways and then crossed the road.

In the diner-
Bo came back into the diner behind Kimberly. "I've got Baldwin locked up in the back seat of my cruiser," he reported. "I called the incident in. Backup is on the way, but it may be some time in getting here with everything that's happening and the roads a mess, plus it needs to make a stop on the way. It'll probably be an hour or more. If anyone knows where Wallace Red Crow is, they should send him over. He used to be a cop, and I could sure use his help. In the meantime, I'm going to have to insist that nobody leave the truck stop. It's far too dangerous to travel. I'm ready to take statements now. Dr. Hausmann, I'll start with you."
 
in the junkyard

Wallace noted the noise of the dogs. "Probably a critter, Maby I sould grab my pistol. You go ahead" The way Jim was yellin, plus the dogs- might need it." Knowing that they sould go. that might have wondered into the junk yard. He turned, and sprinted, heading for his truck

In the diner

Flip felt helpless, He didn't like the feeling of helplessness. He stood, and walked to where horst lay, and took a knee, next to haussmen. "Is... There anything that I can do?" He asked.
 
The diner -

"The only thing you can do, kid, is burying him, but I doubt the coppers would allow you to do that. Evidence and all, ya know." Luke replies to Flip who has finally come out of shock "I'd say you best get this body somewhere else though. Seems like some of the guests can't stomach the blood too well."

"Not to mention he'll start to stink up the place pretty soon, since the sun is shining on him through the window." he adds pointing at the burning sun outside "You should get him to some cool storage room or something. I doubt the coroner will be here anytime soon, with all the madness going on."


Outside -

Bob is taken aback with the information Ms. Bridges just shared.

"Well, hotdamn." he mumbles as she runs to the hotel.

Bob then decides to make a little stop at the chopper first, to get his Beretta from the pilot lockbox. Probably not necessary, but better safe than sorry. He then goes to the diner to ask Dr. Hausman to write up the contract for the repairs.


The garage -

Dave is still working on Wallace's truck unaware of anything that's happening around him.

OCC - can he hear anything from the junkyard (barking, yells), or is it too far away / is the radio playing too loud ?
 
OCC- Sorry this is going to be a short post. Have much to do today and probably won't be able to post again till tonight.

In the Diner-

Bo's speech diverts everyone's attention momentarily from Horst's body which had finally stopped moving. They listen as Bo explains the situation.

"I think Wallace is out in the Junkyard if it isn't in the garage with his truck. I think he went out there with Mitchell to try to find a part." Suggests Charlie.

Hausmann begins to get up to step away from Horst even as she hears Luke offer his suggestion to Flip.

And because her attention is torn between Luke and Bo she doesn't see Horst eyes open or his hand move.

Because everyone is looking to Bo and averting their eyes from the dead body, they don't see Horst sit up, his eyes red and his teeth bared.

Haussman says, "Where do you want to do this? And can you give...." Then she feels the cold lifeless hand on her ankle and the unexpected pull down to the ground.

The people in the diner only notice what has happened when Dr. Hausmann screams.

Sally scatters on the floor away as Horst grabs Dr. Haussman and pulls her down. He pulls her back to the ground and pulls her towards him, and only her desperate attempt to escape allows her to escape his bite.

OCC-Everyone in the diner roll sanity!

In the Junkyard-

Jimmy is backing away from the Chevy and the man who seems to be digging his way out. His head comes up through the loose dirt under the grave, the skull appears beneath the skin that has been eaten away by insects and rats.

Mitchell sees Jimmy backing away but doesn't see the man digging his way out from under the Chevy's devestated hulk as he begins to run.

Max and Buddy growl and lunge, but the man pays them little heed as he works to free his legs from the cold lifeless ground.

On the Highway-

OCC- Gonzales and Colds?

On the Road North-

OCC- Gonzales? Zoe? I assume Alex is using the last of his strength to crawl away, ya?

In the garage-

Dave is still working on the truck. Gary has returned to work on the helicopter's fuel pump. Boss Earl is looking at Sally's car. Because the garage is sound proofed they hear nothing of what is going on outside or in the diner.

At the hotel-

The few remaining guests seem to take solice in Father McCormick's calm demeanor. The man has the aura of a Harvey Keitel character, unruffled and calm in a storm.

Stephanie walks into the office of the hotel.
 
in the diner

Flip watches as horst attempts to grapple Dr. Haussmen. "Horst?" he asked the active cadaver. Flip could hardly believe his eyes. His face had began to take the tone , of those in the cities, rioting. He quickly recoiled, watching in horror.

in the garage

Wallace runs into the garrage, through the back door, to find dave working on his truck. he steps over him, and hops up, using the platform, on the gas tank, and opens the unlocked cabbin door. He opens the unlocked glove compartment, and retrieves his weapon - his 357 Colt Python , in a brown leather holester. he withdrawls the weapon, and releases the cylender, to make sure the weapon is loaded. "Dave, I think we found the part." he said, grabbing two speed loaders of .357 Hallow point. he then hopped down, and slammed the truck door.
 
OCC- Bo made his Sanity roll (22% roll vs. 60% skill) http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=524074

EDIT: Bo hit with his Club roll (58% roll vs. 72% skill)
http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=524179

Bo caused 8 damage with his nightstick
http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=524181

IC-
In the diner-
Bo was horrified to see an apparently dead man grab Dr. Hausmann and try to bite her, much like the people he had seen earlier on TV. He kept his cool, though, knowing that he had to protect her at all costs. He recalled his conversation with Joe Barring as he rushed to her aid. "They don't like fire!" he called as he drew his nightstick from his belt. "Charlie, light something in the kitchen and bring it!" Bo swung his baton at Horst in an effort to distract him and force him to release Dr. Hausmann.

At the motel-
"I've got an emergency!" blurted Stephanie. "Where can I plug in a laptop?"

"Here," said Mrs. Foo, pointing to a power strip behind the front desk with a couple of free outlets.

Stephanie sat down behind the desk, unpacked Dr. Hausmann's computer, and plugged it in. She let out a sigh of relief and caught her breath. "Is Mr. Foo here? I was told he could fix a computer."

"He here, but he very busy now."

"Please, this is extremely important. I'm Stephanie Bridges, assistant to Dr. Brigetta Hausmann of the CDC. Her laptop was badly damaged and it needs to be repaired fast. There's data on it that we cannot lose. It's vital to national security."

"National security? I go ask him." Mrs. Foo went over to her husband's door and knocked. She spoke in Chinese, repeating what Stephanie had told her.

"Just a moment," Mr. Foo replied in Chinese.

"Also," said Stephanie, "we're stranded here because our helicopter broke down. If there's anyone here who's good at fixing things, please help us out. We'll pay you well. Just go down to the garage and see Bob or Gary." She described them. "Even if you've never worked on a chopper before, Bob can show you everything you need to know."

"I fix a few things around motel," said Mrs. Foo, "but to be honest, I not that good."

"Did you come from the diner?" asked Ellen. "Do you know if Charlie's okay? He's the cook."

Stephanie nodded. "He was fine when I left." Ellen relaxed a little. "Someone else isn't though. A black truck driver clobbered that old skinhead, what was his name..."

"Horst Jaegermeister?"

"Yeah, that's him. He was dying when I left. Dr. Hausmann's trying to do what she can for him."

"Hmm," said Mrs. Foo. "This good news, but also bad news. Good news because Horst very evil man. Bad news because many other evil men follow him and get very angry when they find out."
 
(some edits here- welsh)

At the road north-

(Michael rolls sanity) http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=524124

Michael barely manages to control himself after what he sees, but he does not looses his usual coolness. After seeing what happened to Alex, he decides the best possible course of action is to leave immediately, he does not know what the cloud or the bugs are, but they are definitely not good.

Michael tries to use the most clear and clean voice possible as loud as he can, so everyone undertand what he is saying. The best way to save more people was to give them the right instructions so everyone walks out alive.

Michael can see Felice is panicking and says, "Keep calmed!"
(Michael rolls psychology) http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=524132

(OCC- Hey Gonzalez, I appreciate the effort in all the rolls. I will probably tell you what you need to roll, but I like that you took the initiative. Psycho-analysis can help players calm down when they are panicked or terrified or suffer some temporary insanity. However, this usually takes time and will require a bit more than. "Calm the fuck down, bitch!" - which is actually more words than you used. :) )

"Stay inside the car and close the windows!!"

(OCC- Again, this is probably not necessary. Michael is an Englishman so his English language skills are probably good enough. That said, Felice is Italian so its possible she might miss the translation. I doubt it. Normally a skill of 25% is basic familiarity, 50% is career worthy, 75% is noteworthy and 90% would be exceptional for most skills. This is pretty straight forward but given the panic of Felice, it might be an issue if she would understand. But that would depend on Felice's English language skills and not Michael's)
(Michael rolls english language)http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=524137

Felice manages to hear Michael even trough all the chaos and the loud noise coming from the cloud.

Mr Lathan is sitting inside his car and with the windows open and with his head out the window trying to take a look at what is happening.

(To Mr Lathan): Get out of here now, turn around and drive away! It is too dangerous to remain here! Go now, before it's too late!
(Michael rolls persuasion)http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=524146

(OCC- again excellent initiative here. You are absolutely right, Michael is trying to persuade. However persuade is a score that normally takes time. Fast Talk is the skill if you want to quickly convince someone to do that which they otherwise might not).

But Mr Lathan is very stubborn, he does not leave and keeps asking what is going on, not understanding anything.

Michael gets back into his car, the windows were already closed. He doesn't know if Mr Lathan understood him but he does not sees him leaving.
 
Diner-
OCC- hold on a second-
Bo will need at least one "round" to get either nightstick or pistol out.
THis means Zombie Horst gets another attack at Hausman
Unless Luke fires his pistol. Luke's dexterity is faster than Horst, even when Horst was a live.

That said, its a crap angle as Hausman is on the floor and the bodies are moving, and there are probably people in the way. Take off -15 on the chance to hit on the revolver given the panic, crowd, etc.

also lets say failure is 15% catastrophic- you hit someone else. So if you roll over 85% someone else is getting hit.
 
allong the north road

"Is this a nightmare?" thought alex- as his body began to fall into numbness "This can't be so" he thought, "No...No it can't be" he thought, as his abdomen began to stiffen "This isnt real... This.. Can't Be" he thought, as the numbness progressed, up his abdomin. He took his last breath, and used it to scream, as his diapham began to freeze, his lung's frozen, in their last position. He was fully awair. "This is just a bad dream - I just need to wake up" he thought- as the numbness progressed. His entire body then crenged, alex huddled into a ball, on the road. His body then began to go into spasm, as the numbness consumed his sipnal cord.
 
In the Diner-
It takes a moment for Samantha to realize what was going on there. Someone just died! And they only notice that the dead is moving when Dr. Hausmann screams.

Sally scatters on the floor away as Horst grabs Dr. Haussman and pulls her down. He pulls her back to the ground and pulls her towards him, and only her desperate attempt to escape allows her to escape his bite.

OCC- roll sanity! I dare say 4 is an spetacular number to get! http://invisiblecastle.com/rolldice...ad+who+has+a+thing+for+ankles&a=Roll+the+dice

IC:
"Quickly, get away from him. " Samantha says "What can harm that...thing?"
And she thinks: JUst my luck, my guns are in the car!


Samantha looks around, searching for what could be useful in that situation. "Never studied any possibility of dead returning to life like that..."

In the Junkyard-

"Oh my God", Jimmy says, low.
He looks around, in search of whatever can keep that creature away. If he does not find fire, he will run towards the machines used to compactate metal (trying to lure the monster in).


On the Road North-

Windows rolled up, Felice watches as the desperate Alex stops dead ion the dirt. The spasms of his body make her shiver. "That can not be, it´s not... natural!" God knows she has seen men die, and that before her eyes has quite odd.

The man in the car behind (Mr. Lathan) does not seem to have notion of the danger they´re in. "I hope he gets a clue and rolls up his window!"


Felice leaves her gun on the passanger seat and starts the car. (OOC: since the road back to the hotel is blocked by other cars, is it possible to escape moving forward with the car?)[/i]
 
The diner -

Luke sees the body -that shortly before had been declared dead- trying to grab and bite the doctor. His eyes see the threat and even if he can't fully understand the situation, he realises that it is not something he should worry about now (San roll 80% vs 90 stat: success) and that it has to be neutralised right now. He allows his (hunter) instincts to take over, reaches for the .357 revolver laying right in front of him on the diner table, assesses the shot's trajectory, exhales, braces for the recoil and takes the shot. He feels the heavy kick-back, but his mind has only attention for one thing: the kill (Cause nothin’, and I mean nothin’ beats the feeling of putting the breaks on somethin’ livin’ (or undead): Revolver roll 31% vs 50% base - 15% penalty = 35% skill: success).

OCC - Do we assume a kill or do I have to roll damage?
 
On the Highway-

Willie takes a dash for the van, but he has to go past three zombies before he makes his way there http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=523245. He manages to go past the first one, the second one, but a third one catches him throwing him to the ground. "So damn close to the van", he thinks.

(OCC- Welsh: What does happen to willie now? Does willie have a chance to keep the zombie from biting him? Can he attempt to push him aside using his strength, or punching him? Does anybody helps Willie? Is this Willie's end? Find out what happens at this same hour, in this very same channel, only on NMA. :) )
 
OCC- Boy things keep getting worse and worse for our heroes.

Suaside, I don’t mind you rolling freehand, but it will be easier to award experience if you use Invisible Castle. Also no, you can’t assume. For a head shot, you have to do enough damage to the brain as a proportion of total hit points, roughly ¼. You did this, but Bo doesn’t quite realize it as he reaches Hausmann only moments after you hit Horst, but unfortunately not before Horst does some serious damage to Haussman.

Again- players be careful when posting scores. The wrong link leads to a reroll. Most recorded scores end with a number, for example-

In the Diner-

The thing that was Horst has Haussman securely in his hands, and his strength begins to crush the doctor under his own hands. Those in the room can hear Hausmann’s bones cracking under Horst’s on-slaught and Haussman screams in pain. Horst tries to bite Hausmann, but again Haussman is able to avoid the bite, yet she is unable to wiggle away or otherwise escape his grasp.

But her movements and efforts buys her valuable time. Luke takes aim and fires at Horst, and it is a lucky for Haussmann that the shot hits Horst in the head.

The bullet penetrates Horsts through the side, shattering the skull and the brain tissue inside. Horst falls to the side as Bo races across the room with his nightstick drawn and delivers another blow to Horsts body. But by then Horst is motionless.

Hausmann crawls on her hands and feet, like a crab dragged behind her a broken arm, the bones crushed under Horst’s grip. She is desperate to get away from the stilled Horst, she is gasping and crying. When Sally reaches for her, Hausmann screams in her her sanity temporarily overwhelmed by her recent brush with death

On the road north-

Alex is beginning to gasp his last breath even as he feels more of the things continue to sting him, but where one had injected him with venom, now they seem to be withdrawing his blood. His last thoughts of the creatures are of them drinking their full…. He really should have had breakfast this morning and skipped the run.

Felice can only watch as the strange yellow smoke finally hides Alex as he is consumed by the creatures in the yellow mist. She tries to start her car, but is already aware that the road before her is hidden by the strange yellowish- mustard colored smoke.

She glances at her rear-view at Mr Latham who is yelling to Micheal, "What the hell is going on!" who has taken refuge in his car. Soon Lathan, Micheal and their cars become masked by the growing yellow mist, but Felice can see many of the flying creatures swarming around Mr. Latham. One attacks Mr. Latham, landing on his face and pushing its stinger through his cheek and out the other side. Latham screams in pain, but remains upright and does not collapse as had Alex.

Distracted by what is happening to Mr. Latham, Felice at first ignores the sound of something hitting her car. Then it dawns on her… they are attacking her vehicle and trying to get in! One after another pummel land on her car, each attacking it as if it were a living thing. There are so many that she can barely keep count! One of them lands on the window next to her drivers seat and Zoe can see it trying to force its long stinger through the window. Another lands on her front windshield directly in front of her, others also attack the windows! She hears the rear window suddenly crack and then shatter behind her!

(Roll Sanity for Felice! I think our Italian bombshell is doomed! She has only one chance left! Does she know what to do or will she panic and die? If you want help here, Roll idea and send me a pm)

Michael, in the car parked behind Felice, sees Mr. Latham grabbing at the creature that has stung him, yet he seems to still be alive. He also sees that as the mist covers Felice’s car , the rear window shatter. It is only moments before they will flood her car and attack the lovely girl.

But Michael can barely think of that. As the mist surrounds his sedan, he too is suddenly aware that the creatures are attacking his car as if it were another creature. One hits, and then another, then another, until Michael can only feel them in quick succession attack his vehicle in . Luckily, none try to get at Micheal through the windows

He hears Mrs. Latham scream out. She too has exited the car and is running towards her husband. Through his review mirror he sees both of the Latham boys struggling inside. Why have they not rolled up their windows! Suddenly, Michael realizes why. The Latham car is a new sedan, and the windows are electronic, and Mr. Latham has the keys!

In the Junkyard-

OCC- there are no compactors in this junkyard. Just lots of derelict cars.

Jim struggles to find something but all he has is an old fender with which to smash the creature with. The man, or what’s left of the man, as most of his face and body has been eaten away, is almost free of the car when Mitchell shows up.

The dogs continue to growl and bark at the creature, but keep a safe distance. The creature seems not to pay the dogs any attention at all.

“What the fuck?” Says Mitchell, who despite the macabre vision tries to grab Jim and get him to escape. Mitchell yells at Jim, “Let’s get the fuck out of here!” And then runs back towards the garage.

OCC-Gonzalez further wrote- " throwing him to the ground. "So damn close to the van", he thinks." But this is not quite right. In fact the zombie makes a critical miss!

IC- the creature hits Willies but is unable to hold the cameraman, who manages to fall to the ground, tripping up the other creatures that in also in pursuit.

The creatures are on the ground only for a moment and quickly get up, but it is enough time for Willie to reach the van, throw the slide door and jump in.

Tisha, seeing Willie break free gets into the van and slides the key into the ignition as Thomas moves over to the passenger seat to make room.

But Thomas is also distracted and hasn't seen the creature walking up the van towards the van, but the creature sees Thomas.

Thomas turns and come face to face with a ghoul, a woman dressed as a construction worker with half her face eaten off and an eye socket empty and bloody! (Thomas Rolls Sanity).

The ghoul tries to punch its hand through the window of the van to get at Thomas! It misses its first punch and pulls its hand back to strike again, as Tisha hits the gas and pulls away!

Tisha is screaming! "Holy Shit! Holy Shit! What do I do!"

Thomas and Willie look out the window and see that Tisha is driving the van towards Sidney. Not much further down the highway is a massive car accident and more of those....things... now staggering towards them!

(WIllie and Thomas roll Sanity over your recent brush with death and the danger that you now face!).

(OCC- Welsh: What does happen to willie now? Does willie have a chance to keep the zombie from biting him? Can he attempt to push him aside using his strength, or punching him? Does anybody helps Willie? Is this Willie's end? Find out what happens at this same hour, in this very same channel, only on NMA. :) )

OCC- ah, just as in life, merely because we players think we are doomed, fate may yet allow our escape- thanks to the roll of the dice!
 
In the Parking Lot-
Over the Trooper radio..

"AHhh. This is State Trooper Joe Barring.. I have been trying to go North around Sidney to get to Brownson... Bad news.. I had to go around the town and get off the roads and blew a tire. Not sure if I should try to change it or proceed on foot. There are some of them things, but they seem to be a long way off... coming this way.. SHould I change this flat or proceed on foot. Over."

OCC- note that those responding to Joe do not know about the "fast moving zombies" yet.
