The Diner

Tucker - Nightwatchman
Front of Diner

Tucker nods affirmatively when asked if he is ready. He grips the fire extinguisher tight, not knowing if it will have any effect on the zombies; but as a blunt weapon it certainly will.

THE ESCAPE


Syrus the redneck
Im gonna block the door once you guys are out there. Hope it works out.

Dean the EMT
Im staying here. (he looks at Chance) Your care wont fit everyone. Sorry, Im not going. Good luck.

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

You work carefully to remove the junk you have blocking the door. Most of the creatures are at the sides and back , but there are still a few around the cars. The bikes seem clear.

Tiny, Chingy, and Whitey make a run for the bikes as Chance, Derek, John, Tucker and Norm head for Chances car.

Steve heads for Barbs car.

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

Tiny, Chingy and Whitey get to the bikes no problem, but only Chingys bike starts right up. The other two bikes begin to start than die. They try again.....will they start??

Chance's car starts right up- and the guys all jump in. Its really crowded with weapons & supplies.
(Chance driving, Tucker passenger, Norm, John & Derek in back)

A few zombies take notice and start to close in... about 15 feet away from the cars & bikes.

Steve gets to Barbs car and its locked!!
Something grabs Steves foot...one of the creatures that was cut in half by the crash is under the car. It gnaws on Steves heavy workboot.

Syrus and Dean start rebuilding the barricade.

=========

You figure you only have a minute or two before the creatures get close enough to cause a problem.

ACTIONS?

Will Chance drive away??

Will Tiny & Whiteys bikes start?

Will Steve get the thing off his foot & get Barbs car going??

ACTIONS?

Steve B. - Trucker

Steve heads for Barbs car and its locked!!
Something grabs Steves foot...one of the creatures that was cut in half by the crash is under the car. It gnaws on Steves heavy workboot. "Fuck fuck! [looks down] What the fuck!!" cries Steve in panic.[instinctively he] Clubs down hard on the gross-ass creap's head who is biting at his foot.

Club ATT [1d100] = 33

(Short Handled skill 65% = 32% margin = MK result 2d10x2(3 wounds) plus Defender Knocked down and back 5ft + must make DEX check to keep his teeth and go to the corner to think about what he's done wrong )

[OGRE MAGE]

Chingy pulls away from the others on his bike. He scopes out a clear, zombie free path to get onto the road.

He waits a bit for the others to get moving but, will not hesitate to bail if he thinks he is going to be surrounded.

Get them pieces of shit runnin! We got to move! FAST!!!

John J. Pongrass – Camera Man
Inside Chance's car



John pounds the back of Chance’s seat for emphasis, “We can’t wait, mate. Go! We’ll all buy it if we hesitate!” Sensing that some of his comrades might not be so calloused, John tries to reason with the group. “Look, when your numbers up, it’s up. We all have to accept that.”

Tucker Riley - Nightwatchman
Riding Shotgun in Chance's car

"I understand where you're coming from 'mate', but this is a numbers game. Right now they have far too many and we have far too few. We need to keep people around for as long as we can. Someone pass a club up here, I mean to go baseballing like they were mailboxes."

[AleBelly]

Chance, car pilot

"I'm going to try to draw them off the trucker and give him a chance to get in the car."

If possible, Chance will drive slowly, honking his horn a couple of times to try to distract the zombies near Steve.

"Bash the window in, man!" he yells.

If at any point Chance thinks the car may be blocked in by zombies, he drives off.

[Dram]

Whitey, Biker- Attempts to restart his bike. Cmon baby start!! Dont give up on me now! Watching the approaching zombies. If the bike does not start. He will run and try to jump on the back of Chingy,s bike. If any zombies get to close eh will hit the closest one with the golf club in the face.

[Scott308]

Derek- Journalist
Backseat of Chance's car, middle seat

Derek will try to keep an eye out the back, watching for zombies getting too close to the car. If anything approaches he will let everyone know about it.

[Bloodaxe]

Chance pulls away and honks to try and distract the other zombies. It seems pretty effective, most look towards the car, but a few still head towards Tiny and Whitey while they try to start their bikes. A few go after Steve.

Chingy pull a safe distance away as the creatures get closer.
Whitey's bike still wont start, he tries again...nothing.
Tiny's bike roars to life. He looks at Whitey.
Ditch it man! Hop on back!

Steve yells in pain & surprise as the creature tries to bite through his workboot. The creature bites down HARD! Steve feels sharp pain. He kicks out again and again pushing the thing back under the car, but it drags itself forward, mangled. He jumps up and lands on its head, crushing it. You look at your foot, it hurts, you think your toe might be broken, but at least there isn't an open wound. But you cant run. Do you break the window and try to hotwire the car, or something else?

[Marcel]

Steve B. - Trucker

Steve pops the window of the locked car with his club and(if he can), opens the door, sits in and begins a hotwire attempt to get the car running.

Mechanic 77 [1d100] = 39

[Dram]

Whitey- Jumps on the back of Tinys bike. Lets get the fuck out of here!!

[OGRE MAGE]

Chingy revs his scoot hard and leaves a little tire on the asphalt. He pulls his bike out of range of the parking lot biters and waits on the road for the cars to lead the way.

[Bloodaxe]

Steve B. - Trucker

Steve pops the window of the locked car with his club and(if he can), opens the door, sits in and begins a hotwire attempt to get the car running.

Mechanic 77 [1d100] = 39

Steve
You bust the window, unlock the door and then try to hotwire the car.
Several creatures start smacking at the windows, making it very hard for you to concentrate on what you are doing......
One reaches into the busted window and grabs at you, but cant quite get a grip to pull you closer.
The car roars to life, but you have a "Biter hanging part way in your broken window. More are gathering around the car.
If the car stalls now......
Action?

===============
Whitey ditches his bike and jumps on with Tiny.
Chingy and Chances car load are on the road away from most of the trouble.
A few creatures still are scattered around the roads, but nothing impassable. You can go around most.

[Dram]

Whitey - Will swing at any zombies that attempt to grab at Tiny or himself. Tiny lets get the fuck outta here follow Chingy!

[AleBelly]

Chance, on the road

Chance glances nervously around at the biters, but seems to be safe. "Come on, Steve, come on" he cheers him on under his breath.

[Marcel]

Steve B. - Trucker

Steve keeps it running, gets into gear and drives out(focusing on driving). He ignores the creepy and hopes it will fall off as he rolls.

[Bloodaxe]

Whitey takes a swing at one of the creatures that starts to get a little too close. He lands a solid blow and half the creatures jaw goes flying, but Whitey almost falls off! Not so easy bashing heads while on the back of a moving hog.

Steve pulls out from the growing mob, thankful that his left foot is the one that's injured and not his right foot! He leaves the creatures in the dust. The Zombie hanging in the window nearly falls out, but then regains its grip, dragging along the side of the car while holding onto the opening of the broken window.


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

The rest of you are relatively safe.

Actions?
Where to?

[OGRE MAGE]

Since Dean stayed and Norm came along, I think we should try the garage first. (Norm was the one with the uncles shop nearby right?)

Chingy waits for the cars to get in front of the bikes in case we encounter any herds along the way to our destination.

[Scott308]

Derek- Journalist
Chance's car

Norm, how do we get to your uncle's place? We should go there first and try to put gas in the tanks. I know the bikers said they weren't going to be able to get far otherwise.
