Scenario 3 Summary

A former Apache pilot, Hannah Banks, had been leading a group of survivors across the Chicago landscape, when their car's badly rotted battery gave out. With no transportation, they had to flee on foot as a horde of walkers emerged from the many suburban houses that make up the West Sunset Avenue area. Managing to escape to the relative safety of a long since abandoned house, they hunkered down.

Not long after their arrival, they spotted an ambulance out on the road, with its hood popped up: looking through his sniper scope, Oskar - one of Hannah's group - spotted what looked like a viable battery in place. With this in mind, they made a move on the ambulance with the aim of retrieving the battery, and using it to power up one of the many abandoned cars on the road.

Before they got there however, a girl - Kylie - jumped into it first, scavenging for medical supplies. Not knowing if the girl was friendly or not, Hannah and her group surrounded and the ambulance and ordered her outside. After a brief chat, they decided she was friendly and no drama resulted. However, the battery in the ambulance was a dud, but before the group could withdraw, Camellia (another of Hannah's group), appeared from behind a fence. She had found a car battery in good condition, but had to fire her rifle to escape her undead perusers - ringing the literal dinner bell for the dead.

The fence came down under the weight of dozens of walkers, trapping Camellia. Woodrow, the fourth member of Hannah's group, ran to intervene with the assistance of Kylie. Hannah and Oskar fled, however, not prepared to risk their lives or bullets for what they perceived as a lost cause. Woodrow was bitten in the ensuing rescue attempt, but managed to get Camellia to safety, before waging a one man war with the endless horde. As he did so, Kylie helped Camellia get away.

Meanwhile, Hannah and Oskar sought refuge in a nearby house. They were debating leaving the two girls to die, when one of the house's former occupants attacked from nowhere. Hannah fired her rifle, ending any hope of allowing the dead to eat the two girls and leaving them be. This forced Hannah to go on the offensive, and she charged out of the house guns blazing, making her way to the girls. Oskar followed, but proved little help.

The group then ran on down the road, into East Sunset Avenue, where they have happened upon a long since abandoned CDC Safe Zone based at St. Timmothy's church. There is a humvee there, which appears in good condition, and the group now plan to use the vehicle to mount their escape. The horde, however, are not far behind.

There y'ar. It's a bit long, but I made it as short as I could.

Working on a post now, sorry for slowing us down Hamster.

[SyrianHamster]

No worries. I'm dialling back my post length, where possible, so there shouldn't be any more sweeping you along with my guys. You'll have more freedom this way.

[Monster]

Whew, I had to get ready for my cousin's wedding, so my post was delayed. I apologize for that, but it's up now!

EDIT: How goes it guys and gals?

[Dragonbud]

So hamster, any ideas about what I could find in the church?

No worries, worth the wait! Great post. How was the wedding?

It was a CDC Safe Zone, so at one point it would have been stocked with a whole variety of medical supplies and rations. It's probably been ransacked by then, but you might find something. It's unlikely you'll find blood bags in there, and if you did, they'd be bad anyway. However, something to stop the bleeding like bandages, and antibiotics would help. Maybe even a splint for the leg. Who knows? Roll the dice!

[Dragonbud]

Okay here's what I'm gonna do. I have a d20 here,

1= No Supplies
2-6- Poor Supplies
7-11= Okay Supplies
11-15= Good Supplies
16-19= Really good supplies
20= Amazing Supplies

...13

Okay time to write a post :3

I haven't gone yet, I'll be leaving tonight at 5:00 EST

It sounds exciting though, that's cool. And thank you.

Since someone has been pronouncing Calliope as Callie-ope this whole time, I'd just like to announce that the name is pronounced:

Kuh-lie-uh-pee

[Dragonbud]

Now lets see...do I let Kylie escape unharmed...

[SyrianHamster]

I rolled dice to see if Oskar wouldn't be useless for a change. As you can see, it didn't go in Kylie's favour.

Hannah will mop things up if Kylie survives another post, because she's bad ass and doesn't need rolls for this kind of stuff. She just needs rolls on whether or not she leaves people to die... oh, wait...

[Dragonbud]

I rolled to see if Kylie would come out alive and unharmed, and luck seems to be on her side.

Getting the radio working with music might make this nicer for her.

threedawg, in your rules it says this:

6. Infection is spread through biting so you're OK in case you're scratched.

Does that mean you get infected if you get scratched? I'm unsure if you're just going with biting or biting and scratching. Thanks.

How long would the group being staying at the church, Hamster?

Double posted by mistake.

Seems pretty clar to me bud, says bites are the only way to convey the infection. I've got my own little take on it though, whereby I include blood contamination. You know, punching a zombie in the face, cutting your knuckles, and covering your hand all in its blood probably carries a risk.

We're getting ready to move the Hell out of there. Maybe 2-3 more posts there.

It said that you were infected by being bitten, but were okay unless you were scratched. So I didn't know if you were infected by bites AND scratche, or it was just a typo.

It says your OK in case you're scratched, so I'd take that for what it is. Welcome to wait for Threedawg to comment on it though if you're still unsure.
