The Diner

[Marcel]

Steve B. - Trucker

[knowing Barb is about to get her head splatted] Steve looks to make sure Flo is not watching and tells her stern-like to "Look away!" if she is. Then he stands behind some shielded fellas but is also ready with his club for a wack if one becomes available. Steve says to Chance, "Only Barb dude, only one".



==========

Flo is still napping off a few beers in the break room, so is oblivious.

[OGRE MAGE]

Chingy

If the opertunity to use the bat on a zombies skull presents itself, Chingy will take a swing for the fences. He is eager to show the others that he has quite a bit of fighting skill due to his rough upbringing.

[AleBelly]

Chance, fire exit

Chance, a nervous look on his face, grips his staff in both hands. He kicks the door open using the push bar then quickly backs into the main area where several of the group can have a whack at the zombie waitress.

[Norjax]

John J. Pongrass – Camera Man
Inside diner; Fire Exit



John will use his makeshift 'battering ram' to help control the movement of Zombie Barb.

[Bloodaxe]

Only two can act next to each other, so who will be the first two?
John and his table/shield/ram can only fight alone, since the table blocks most of hallway.
So Steve & Chingy first, Chance opened door and backs away. John with shield/table/ram.

[Bloodaxe]

CHANCE kicks open the door and moves back.......unfortunately before Steve & Chingy are quite ready.
(Good Guys Initiative- 1, Zombies- 10)
The doors flies open and Zombie Barb strolls in......but FOUR more of her friends are right near the door and also attempt to enter.
Luckily, as the four creatures try to get in the door, they get in each others way and only one enters the diner right behind the Barb-thing.

STEVE steps in and whacks Barb.
(Strike STR/AG 52/45 +15 club 64 to strike, roll 62, 2 result on Defense 1,M= medium wound, 21 stamina/3 wounds)
He cracks her jaw, bone breaks and blood splatters. The things staggers, but doesn't fall.

CHINGY tries to finish her off.
(Strike STR/AG 64/50 +15 club 87 strike, roll 67, 20 result on Defense 1, C= crippling wound, 28 stamina/5 wounds)
Part of her skull gives away and she flops on the ground, still.

The other creature staggers forward to try and grab STEVE. It grabs at his shirt but he pushes it way. The creature appears to be much slower and weaker than when he was alive.

JOHN blocks the hall with table-shield- but cant do much, as STEVE & CHINGY are in front, bashing Zombies.

===================================
End of round.
Barb is dead again.
One Zombie is in the hall grabbing at Steve so it can hold him down for a bite to eat.
Chingy is in the mix.
John has the shield wall.
Chance is behind all.
Three other creatures are trying to get in, as they moan in hunger.

ACTIONS?

Steve B. - Trucker

Steve backs up and swats at the zombie's reach in self-defense. "Mr. Chingy brother, hit this thing!!"

[OGRE MAGE]

Chingy
In the Mix

Chingy will continue to swing the Louisville Slugger at the heads of any zombie that gets close to him. If none are in range, he will try to defend anyone (living) that is in need of assistance.

Smash their heads in! That seems to work the best!

[AleBelly]

Chance, fire exit hallway

Chance's head swims as he comes face to face with a few of those...things. The lifelessness in their eyes chills him to the depths of his soul - although now he seriously questions whether there are such things as souls.

As he sees undead brains splatter, he tastes vomit in the back of his throat, but manages to choke it back down. Seeing the party has the intruding zombies in hand, his attention turns back to Tiny. He runs to the break room to check on the others.

[ybn1197]

Is it possible for Tucker to work his way along side the melee and fire the fire extinguisher at the zombie?

[Bloodaxe]

Is it possible for Tucker to work his way along side the melee and fire the fire extinguisher at the zombie?

You would hit Chingy & Steve. They are too close to the zombie. John is also in the way with the table.

[Bloodaxe]

The creatures grabs at STEVE the trucker and gnashes its teeth. You can see blood on its mouth and bits of flesh in its teeth. STEVE backs away and swings at the creature, but misses.
With creature distracted by a tasty snack( Steve) , CHINGY the biker is able to land a punishing blow to the things skull.
(49 hit, 38 on chart- Crippling wound) The thing drops to floor next to Barb.
The three other creatures are at the door and you see several others gathering in the distance. You hear that eerie moaning, a cry that prey is here.

CHANCE the salesman is nowhere to be seen.
JOHN the cameraman guards the hallway with the table/shield.
TUCKER the night watchman runs up in support carrying a large red fire extinguisher.

SYRUS the redneck looks on, holding a large kitchen knife.
Close the fucking door! They are gonna get in!!

DEAN the EMT backs away....
Oh shit.....
....and runs back to the Employee Breakroom.

================

CHANCE passes Tucker, Syrus & Dean on his way to the Break room, but everything seems OK when he gets there.
Everyone is just waiting around for what comes next. Flo is still sleeping. Tiny is awake.
TINY
Whats going on?

================

Both creature are "dead". But the door is still open with 3 creatures about to get in.

[Dram]

Whitey- Readies himself behind Steve with his makekshift spear. What is going on up front. Are they moving to the back of the restaurant!

[AleBelly]

Chance, break room

"Zombies are in the diner" he informs those in the break room. "More are approaching. Let's check out the other back exit, we're going to have to make a run for it."

Chance yells to the others. "Some of us can go out the other back exit. Take some pressure off those in the hallway. You with me, Tiny?"

[Marcel]

Steve B. - Trucker

Steve gathers some self control and hearing of approaching creeps, he'll try and close the door.

[OGRE MAGE]

Chingy helps Steve slam the door shut to prevent any more from getting in.

Maybe we all better make a break for it out the other door. There starting to pile up outside this one!

[Scott308]

Derek- Journalist

I think that's a good idea, Chingy. They know we are here by this door, maybe they don't know about the other door and we will have an opportunity to get clear of the building.

If the door is able to be closed with no more zombies inside, Derek will say, Check those bodies. We know Barb should have car keys, maybe the other guy has a set with a remote starter and locks to make it easier to find another car to get into.

[Bloodaxe]

2pm sunny

Steve & Chingy see three creatures at the door and quickly drop their weapons and try to pull the door shut. Steve leans out of the diner and pulls the door back. The undead pull back and push to enter, but the door finally closes with a click.

Steve & Chingy lean against the door, quite exhausted, as the sound of pounding & frustrated moaning comes from outside.

( I had a test of Strength , Chingy & Steve vs the 3 Zombies)

Derek checks Barb- no keys......no purse at all.
The other body has nothing else of use. A roll of quarters and a pen flashlight in a pocket.

=============

You all are getting worn out, you have been up all night ( & near 24 hours now) with no sleep.

[Scott308]

Derek- Journalist
Inside Diner

Damn, I was hoping we could have caught a break. I thought we might have at least gotten Barb's keys. Well, the plan was to try and hotwire her car in the first place so this doesn't affect that, at least.

Derek will take the roll of quarters and the penlight, as you never know when those may come in handy.

[Dram]

Whitey(Biker)- These things dont look like there going to calm down any. We need to make a move soon. Whitey moves around into the breakroom and peaks out the window.
