Turn Resolution
Xalxe: 4
Xalxe glides to a nearby shelf and picks up a handle (1.75 L) of single-malt whiskey. He then looks around for all exits out of the liquor store, observing:
- Two public entrances side-by-side in the front, separated by a display case;
- A "Staff Only" door leading to the rear loading dock, locked shut; and
- A hatch to the roof, locked shut.
gandalf5166: 2
"Crap, they're here!" mutters gandalf5166. He quickly grabs hold of one of the empty racks that held chips and starts pushing it towards the door to make a section of barricade.
...which turns out to be pretty slow going.
Event: there is now an empty snacks rack sitting halfway down the aisle from the back of the store, with a gandalf5166 behind it pushing and swearing.
chesskid3: 1
chesskid3 walks right past gandalf's useless barricade and calls out, "Who is it?" to the unknown figure knocking on the door.
"I'm a doctor! Please, let me in!"
Peering through the glass and not immediately seeing a mob of zombies, chesskid3 starts tugging on the door, which is oddly stiff for some reason ... until it springs open with a jerk, straight into chesskid3's face.
chesskid3 now hasa black eye.
Event: the front door is now open.
jmj3000: 1
As jmj3000 hunts behind the counter, he finds a nice big bear-trap. With his hand. Much screaming follows.
jmj3000 is now carryinga sprung bear-trap(worn on right wrist). He will be at -1 for any tasks requiring manual dexterity until 2 turns after it has been removed.
drmyshottyizsik: 1
drmyshottyizsik, inspired by a sudden thirst, proceeds directly to the vodka aisle, where he reaches up to pull a bottle of red-label Stolichnaya vodka off the top shelf - just in time to be distracted by jmj3000's bloodcurdling scream. He loses control of the bottle, which shatters on the floor at his feet, creating a large pool full of broken glass. Which he then loses his footing in.
drmyshottizsik is now carryingseveral pieces of broken glass(worn on left buttock). He will be at -1 for any tasks involving sitting until 2 turns after they have been removed.
Reecer6
Reecer6 does nothing. Which is just as well, really.
As chesskid3 staggers back from the door, another figure staggers in. He slams the door behind him, then slumps to the floor, dropping a large medicine case he was carrying next to him. With the various survivors watching carefully from their separate positions, he speaks.
"I found ... the cure," he says, haltingly. "It's ... one injection, and it ... halts the infection. It ...works... I was bit, and I started feeling sick, but I gotbetter!...where was I?"
He sways, briefly, then falls sideways to the floor.
"I got better ... but I got bit again ... and I had to take another dose ... I don't think ... I'm getting ... better ... again ..."
Event: the doctor has died, blocking the door.
Event: thecase of cure vialsis now sitting in the room.12 doses remain.
Deadline: 2 p.m. EST, January 15, 2011.

Turn 2 Resolution
Xalxe: 5
Xalxe pulls a set of lockpicks out of a pocket of his trenchcoat and sets to work on the "Staff Only" door. Within seconds, he has it open, and seconds after that, he has crossed the back room and opened the loading dock.
gandalf5166: 4
While Xalxe deals with the doors, gandalf5166 hauls the dead body of the doctor up and drags him across the store. As Xalxe stands by, he drags the corpse out to the back of the lot, where a convenient wheelbarrow of mulch serves to bury it.
chesskid3: 2
chesskid3 ignores gandalf and Xalxe to inspect these cure vials that the doctor left. Unfortunately, once again he runs into trouble with a simple latch, and when the case finally pops open, half the vials go flying off.
Event: the case is now open.
Event: the case now contains6 vials.
Event:6 vialshave rolled under various shelves and displays.
jmj3000: 4-1 = 3
jmj3000, behind the counter, hauls with all his strength on the bear-trap latched to his right hand. With one final heroic burst, he pulls it free ... whereupon it drops onto his foot, providing a convenient distraction from the pain in his arm.
jmj3000 has droppeda sprung bear-trap. He will be at -1 for any tasks requiring manual dexterity until Turn 5.
drmyshottyizsik: 1
While gandalf is dealing with the doctor, drmyshottyizsik walks up to the door to try and lock them out. He gets the door closed all right, but discovers that this does notlockthe door.
"Can I borrow the lockpick?" he asks Xalxe. Receiving no response, he shrugs, reopens the door, and steps out to examine the other side for a latch.
At which point gandalf5166 returns inside. Xalxe then casually drops the loading dock door and slaps on a padlock.
drmyshottyizsik is now locked out on the loading dock behind the liquor store.
Reecer6: 3
While all this was going on, Reecer6 awoke from his stupor and did a walking-about looking for some kind of sweeping instrument to use as a weapon. He soon finds one:
Outside, where drmyshottyizsik is discovering his mistake, the sun is slowly lowering in the sky. The lot is largely empty, with four cars scattered in different spots visible from the loading dock, and the motionless corpse of the doctor being the only dead in line of sight. (The wheelbarrow lies on its side nearby.)
After a moment, however, a groaning sound comes from woods behind the lot, and the sound of snapping branches can be distinctly heard.
Deadline: 4 p.m. EST, January 16, 2011.

Turn 3 Resolution
Xalxe: 2
Xalxe goes out the back of the store to locate a prime car for hotwiring, and picks out a nice Mercedes-Benz sitting right next to the store. Unfortunately, while he is struggling with the ignition the car mysteriously catches fire, and he's forced to bail.
gandalf5166: 5
gandalf5166 searches around the liquor store for some new bullets. It turns out that the (presumably former) owner of the liquor store was a model citizen with a membership to the NRA, so gandalf5166 happily loads five magazines with 9mm rounds for his M9. Hopefully zombies are allergic to hollow-points.
gandalf5166 is now carryingfive loaded 15-round magazines.
chesskid3: 1
chesskid3 gropes around for a few minutes and finally finds all six missing vials. He then proceeds to trip on the case, dropping all six vials he had recovered onto the floor and knocking the remaining six in all directions. Apparently, chesskid3 will never, ever be allowed to carry the football.
Event: Six cure vials are now smashed on the floor.
Event: The medicine case is now empty.
Event: Six more vials are now scattered around the shop.
jmj3000: 1
As jmj3000 resumes his search, he finds yet another bear trap. He barely avoids it, only to fall and smash his head against the counter.
Event: jmj3000 is now disoriented. He will suffer a blanket -1 on his roll for next round, cumulative with his manual dexterity penalty.
drmyshottyizsik: 3
drmyshottyizsik, still out behind the store, makes a Molotov Cocktail, lights it, and throws it against the store. Part of the signage on the outside wall of the store ignites, but the damage is superficial. However, some of the splash from the bottle ignites a nearby Mercedes-Benz.
Reecer6: 3
Reecer carefully tries to brush a vial towards him. Unfortunately, he gets the angle wrong, and ends up pushing it out into the aisle on the other side. At least it will be easy to retrieve.
As the survivors busy themselves, the sounds of crackling leaves and branches grows in the woods, and suddenly the zombified corpse of a middle-aged black man staggers out onto the grass. He soon gracelessly falls on top of the mostly-buried body of the doctor and begins chewing on his exposed arm. The sounds of breaking branches continues to grow louder.

Turn 4 Resolution
Xalxe: 6
Behind the store, standing a safe distance away from the burning Mercedes, Xalxe activates the Trenchcoat of Invisibility. There is the vaguest impression of a humming, too high-pitched to hear, and it powers on, rendering every part of him completely transparent to all light.
Including his eyes.
Event: Xalxe is now invisible in his trenchcoat.
Event: Xalxe is now blind, as he cannot interact with photons to see.
gandalf5166: 3
In the meantime, gandalf5166 starts collecting the cure vials (chiefly to keep them away from chesskid3 - and for good cause). He manages to find five of the six and return them to the case, but ends up wasting several minutes trying to locate the last.
gandalf5166 is now carrying5 cure vialsin a medicine case.
chesskid3: 1
chesskid3, giving up on carrying the whole stock, attempts to crawl over and pick up justoneof the cure vials. However, as he reaches for one, his hand gets accidentally trampled by gandalf5166 hurrying to beat him to it.
chesskid3 will be at -1 for any tasks involving manual dexterity for the next 2 turns.
jmj3000: 5-1 = 4
jmj3000 holds his hand up to his head and looks around. Suddenly, his vision resolves what gandalf5166 had been looting moments before: an open weapons safe.
jmj3000 is now carryinga 20-gauge pump-action shotgunloaded with5 slugs.
drmyshottyizsik: 2
drmyshottyizsik, satisfied with the effects of his Molotov, decides to further display his manliness by killin' some zombie with his bare hands. With a mighty whoop, he charges at the zombie chewing on the dead doctor, kicks it off, and seizes it by the neck to strangle it.
Which was a frankly brilliant move, given that zombies don't breathe.
drmyshottyizsik is now holding a zombie by the neck as it tries to bite him.
Reecer6: 3
Reecer6 quickly climbs over the shelf, dropping clumsily on the other side. He scoops up the vial, then checks the foot he landed on to see if he'll be slowed down.
Reecer6 is now carrying1 cure vial. He is healthy.
As drmyshottyizsik futilely squeezes the neck of one zombie, two more stagger out of the woods and start to approach him. The car and sign continue to burn, and the fire spreads up the outside wall and starts scorching the edge of the roof. Meanwhile, inside the store, the front door swings inward and open as a third new zombie staggers into the scene.
Deadline is two days from the time of this post - 3 p.m. EST, January 19.

Turn 5 Resolution
Xalxe: 5
Xalxe turns his invisibility trenchcoat down a notch. He can now see perfectly well, and he is invisible to both zombies and players.
gandalf5166: 4
gandalf5166's first few shots hit the zombie in the chest. Finally, a bullet burrows deep into its brain. The zombie keels over with a death moan.
gandalf5166 is now carrying4 full magazinesanda M9 with 11 bullets.
chesskid3: 2
chesskid3 turns and dramatically runs out through the back gate, flailing around a little and making a noise like a dying goat. His fellow survivors ignore him, but the three zombies outside react to his noisy presence with eerie moans and stagger towards him.
jmj3000: 3-1=2
jmj3000 gropes around in the gun safe for a few more seconds, but only finds empty shell casings. At least his hand feels better now.
Event: jmj's manual dexterity penalty has expired.
Question from theplague42: Just wondering, but why would birdshot be more effective than slugs?
drmyshottyizsik: 3
drmyshottyizsik manages to push the zombie off of him, but soon gives up on dragging it to the fire. Instead, he runs over and grabs a burning branch, then throws it at the forest. Unfortunately, the forest is about 50 yards away.
Reecer6: 1 (speak of the devil!)
Reecer fumbles around for a few minutes, looking for another gun. Instead, he finds jmj's beartrap, which he immediately tries on to see if it fits. Unfortunately, it doesn't match his shirt. It's also too tight, leaving deep, jagged cuts in his ankle. Apparently beartraps are even less useful than brushes.
Event: Reecer is now wearinga sprung beartrapon his right foot. It will cause a -1 penalty for actions involving feet until two turns after the trap is removed.
The three remaining zombies walk closer and closer to chesskid, ignoring the doctor's body. He can see their rotting flesh, yellow teeth, and wild eyes hungering for food. Nearby, drmyshottyizsik watches, hoping his incident with the fire didn't attract the zombie's attention, and Xalxe stands comfortably hidden by his trenchcoat. The back of the liquor store is now completely scorched, and the flames lick fiercely across the roof. The Mercedes still burns fiercely, the fire growing closer and closer to the gas tank. Inside the store, Reecer6, jmj3000, and gandalf5166 compose themselves, carefully watching the seemingly dead zombie. Distant moans reach them through the open front door.

Turn 6 Resolution
Xalxe: 2
Securely confident in his undetectability, Xalxe casually strolls past the three zombies in the parking lot ... and trips on a parking chock. After that, the swearing and the nosebleeding detract a bit from his undetectability.
gandalf5166: 5
gandalf5166, standing on a shelf under the ceiling hatch, realizes that the lock was apparently left loose, and it is but a moment to open it up and reach the roof.
From this higher vantage point, the situation looks relatively bleak - even ignoring the flames that are beginning to scorch the roof, the zombie population of the area appears relatively high, with many of them moving towards the store. However, there is one glimmer of hope: across the street and half a block down from the liquor store stands an old brick church, with narrow windows at ground level and unbreached front doors.
And as for the zombies on the open road between here and there: gandalf5166 hasverygood aim.
gandalf5166 is now carring3 full magazines, 1 empty magazine, and an M9 with 4 bullets remaining.
chesskid3: 5
As the zombies stagger closer, chesskid3 takes a deep breath, sags his head, loosens his gait, and tries to get into the mindset of the dead.
He moans, seemingly unconsciously. He begins to shamble, indifferent to the sound of gunfire from the roof, indifferent to the fading light, indifferent to the scraping of his shoes against the asphalt ... until he suddenly trips on the invisible figure of Xalxe.
"What the hell, che-"
"Smell," interrupts chesskid3. "They're tracking us by smell, that's how they're doing it!"
chesskid3 now understands the zombie mindset. He will havea permanenton any action involving zombie psychology.+1special bonus
jmj3000: 5
jmj3000 slings the shotgun over his arm and bends down to check the shelf under the cash register for bullets. As it happens, this was an inspired decision.
jmj3000 is now carryingan ammo bag containing 3 10-shell boxes of 20-gauge buckshot and 2 30-round boxes of loose 9x19mm Parabellum rounds.(Yes, that is the same 9mm round that gandalf5166's M9 uses.)
drmyshottyizsik: 4
Dissatisfied with his prior efforts to cause rampant destruction, drmyshottyizsik decides he needs to call on a higher power. Specifically, a higher power known as "air support". He pulls a satellite radio out of his jacket pocket and speaks in Russian for a few minutes, listens to the response, then replaces the radio with a smirk.
Event: A Russian airstrike has been called on the strip of woods behind the liquor store.
Reecer6: 6
While everything else is going on, Reecer6 is carefully pulling the claws of the bear-trap apart and carefully maneuvering it off his leg. He successfully frees his leg, and gratefully drops it and begins to limp away.
Whereupon he discovers that his pants were still caught.
Reecer6 has now droppedone pair of blue jeansin thesprung bear-trap.
As the survivors finish their actions, there is a suddenka-rumph!sound as the gas tank of the Mercedes ignites. There is a brief column of flame, and the car becomes fully engulfed in flames.
The zombies pay no mind.

All right, chesskid3, I've discussed this with theplague42 and here's the ruling. Your zombie-psychology mod will follow thespecial bonusrules we totally just added to the ruleset ten seconds ago, and -when they apply, which will beourdecision as mods - grant you one free reroll if you would have gotten a 1 or a 6. Essentially,halvesthe chance of a disaster. Good luck.

Turn 7 Resolution
Xalxe: 2
Xalxe brushes off the dust, jumps up, and resumes heading for the forest. Unfortunately, the smell of blood pouring out of his nose attracts the zombies that are still in the forest, and they begin to stumble towards him, blocking his way.
gandalf5166: 4
gandalf5166 crosses the roof toward the rear and decides to make anexecutive decision before trying to reach the church. He takes aim at drmyshottyizsik and fires off the last four rounds in his clip. Two of them slam into drmyshottyizsik's right shoulder as he spins around to return fire.
chesskid3: 3
chesskid3 runs back inside the liquor store and quickly takes off his clothing. Unfortunately, zombies don't contain much blood, and there isn't enough to mask his own smell. He daubs his shirt with as much as he can get anyway, for what it's worth.
jmj3000: 6
jmj3000 quickly grabs a shell and rams it into the magazine, without realizing that it was already full. The shell closest to the chamber collapses under the strain, jamming the action.
drmyshottyizsik: 4-2=2
drmyshottyizsik reaches inside his coat and pulls out a PKP Pecheneg light machine gun, and he is just laying it on the ground to aim at a passing bunny when a bullet ricochets off the pavement near him. He attempts to swing the gun around to return fire, but its weight is too much for him to hold it steady without a place to rest the bipod, and his shots go wild. The firing ceases as two 9mm rounds tear into his shoulder and he loses hold of the gun.
drmyshottyizsik has a shattered scapula, and is bleeding heavily. He hasa permanent -1for the disability, anda -1for bleeding until six turns after the wound is bandaged.
Reecer6: 3
Reecer clumsily extracts his pants from the bear trap, tearing huge holes in them. He quickly puts them on.
As jmj3000 struggles with his shotgun, a zombie that had been hiding in the shadow of the building where gandalf5166 couldn't see stumbles through the front door, attracted to the scent of living flesh. Meanwhile, the zombies in the back smell Xalxe and drmyshottyizsik's blood and begin closing in. Simultaneously, the survivors begin to hear the sound of jets screaming towards the forest. They can't be more than a minute away.
Player location update so they can make a plan, otherwise they're all doing to die very ver soon: Xalxe is valiantly, but uselessly trying to reach the forest. Gandalf is standing at the edge of the roof, holding an empty M9. chesskid is inside the liquor store with bloody clothing. jmj3000 is also in the store, with plenty of ammo but a jammed shotgun. drmyshottyizsik is lying next to a light machine gun in the parking lot outside. He has a shattered scapula and heavy bleeding. Reecer is standing inside the store with torn pants. A sprung bear trap lies next to him.

When? I've checked through the history several times - he shot one inside and, after going onto the roof, several in front.
Also, my point was that the smell is theonlyrelevant fact about you from a zombie perspective. You could be doing cartwheels, but if you smell like human, they go for you, and if you don't, they don't. As it stands, your clothes have a bit of musk on them, but that's all.advice from a trans otherkin queer plural system: you don't have to accept what normal says it's possible for you to be.-

Turn 8 Resolution
Xalxe: 4
Hearing the incoming planes, Xalxe quickly rushes over to where drmyshottyizsik is lying and picks the machine gun out of his arms as he fires. He then runs onward, past the zombies closing in on drmyshottyizsik and around the store toward the church.
gandalf5166: 3
gandalf5166 runs diagonally across the roof, aiming for a convenient car roof as he jumps off the edge. It breaks his landing, but not well - and as he tries to clear the wreck and make a run for it he hears a machinegun open fire. Then he hears no more.
gandalf5166 has been cut to pieces by machinegun fire andis now dead.
chesskid3 (with special bonus): 5 (no reroll)
chesskid3, with his savant-like intuition dealing with zombies, quickly realizes that the zombie blood on his shirt may confuse the zombies for a split-second. He calls out, "Follow me!", thrusting the shirt at the zombie just inside the door before sprinting out and toward the church, and he is the first to reach its doors. He struggles to open them by himself, but finds them to be stuck.
jmj3000: 5
jmj3000 quickly removes the blockage from his shotgun and pumps the action, loading a slug. He blasts the disoriented zombie chesskid3 had left behind as he runs out, then rushes down the street to help chesskid3 with the doors.
jmj3000 is now carrying a shotgun loaded with4 slugs and 3 birdshot shells.
drmyshottyizsik: 6-2 = 4
drmyshottyizsik, in a last ditch effort, braces the PKP against his left shoulder, drops the bipod to the ground, and tries to catch a bearing on gandalf5166 as the latter jumps from the roof. The delay as gandalf5166 extricates himself from the car proves just long enough, and drmyshottyizsik successfully walks his fire across gandalf5166's body and into Reecer6, who had just rounded the corner of the store, before the gun is suddenly pulled from his grasp. Disarmed, he struggles to pull a revolver from his shoulder holster with the wrong hand as the zombies close in.
drmyshottyizsik has been set upon by zombies andis now dead.
Reecer6: 6
Reecer6 follows chesskid3 and jmj3000 from the store, looking around for gandalf5166. He sees the man jump from the roof and runs toward him - but too late sees drmyshottyizsik, still alive behind the store, take aim with the big machinegun. One of drmyshottyizsik's bullets tears through Reecer6's leg, and Reecer6 goes down with a scream.
Reecer6 now has an injured left leg. He will be at -1 for any actions involving that leg until 4 turns after it is bandaged.
Russian bomber flight: 2
As the zombies fall upon drmyshottyizsik, Xalxe runs, and chesskid3 and jmj3000 bash against the church door, they hear the scream of jets overhead. Russian fighter-bombers, heeding shotty's call, release their cluster bombs over the forest. However, they are moving too fast and overshoot, and the bombs miss the forest entirely.
While chesskid3 and jmj3000 are distracted by the bombs, however, the door behind them suddenly opens, and a voice says, "Come in, quick!"
Kcdaspot and Zodiark13 are in the church and replace drmyshottyizsik and gandalf5166. They will post introductions with their first moves.

Turn 9 Resolution
Xalxe: 3
Xalxe (still invisible) slings the machinegun over one shoulder and runs to help Reecer6. Together, the two make their way towards the church, zombies close behind them.
Kcdaspot: 1
Kcdaspot adjusts the bolt and steps outside, holding the door and watching as Reecer6 attempts to cross the street. As he cranes his head, the door slips from his grasp and swings closed. And locked.
chesskid3: 4
chesskid3 quickly tells Kcdaspot, jmj3000, and Zodiark13 about zombie psychology.
Whenever Kcdaspot, jmj3000, or Zodiark13 performs an action based on zombie psychology, they will gain an automatic +1. This isnota special bonus.
jmj3000: 3
jmj3000 is distracted listening to chesskid3, and fails to notice the door closing beside him. He, too, is stuck outside.
Zodiark13: 4
As Kcdaspot goes out to (fail to) hold the door for the newcomers, Zodiark13 looks around for a way to barricade the door once everyone is in. He finds a loose pew suited to the task, and drags it near the entrance, ready to be put in place.
Reecer6: 3
As Reecer6 attempts to crawl away from the zombies, he feels, but does not see, Xalxe's hand assisting him to his feet. With Xalxe helping him, he limps in the direction of the church. He and Xalxe make as far as the steps of the church before Reecer6 collapses in pain.
As Xalxe and Reecer struggle towards the church, more zombies approach, passing those feasting on drmyshottyizsik. While a fraction of them go for gandalf's body, others smell Reecer6's blood and start following the trail. As chesskid3 illuminutes the other survivors, he sees a large group of zombies moving up the street towards the entrance of the church.

Turn 10 Resolution
Xalxe: 5
Xalxe leaves Reecer6 on the steps and hurries up to the door. He pulls out his lockpick set and, within seconds, the door is unlocked.
Kcdaspot: 2
Kcdaspot, freed from his door-opening duties, scrounges around for a weapon. However, he doesn't find anything other than a few dusty hymnals and a burnt candle.
chesskid3: 3
chesskid3 opens the door and goes inside. Xalxe is right behind him.
jmj3000: 6
jmj3000 walks around the entire church looking for a good window, but can't find one low enough to reach and wide enough to get through. Instead, he climbs a nearby tree and jumps towards a window higher off the ground. And through it. Shattering it.
jmj3000 suffers two broken ribs and numerous cuts from the glass. He will suffer a -1 blanket penalty for four turns.
Zodiark13: 3
Zodiark13 closes the door after chesskid3 and Xalxe make it inside, but is unable to lock it. The bolt has stuck fast.
Reecer6: 3
After Xalxe leaves, Reecer6 lies down on the pavement, distracting himself from his leg by thinking about pancakes. Rather than the approaching zombies. One soon drops in to catch his attention, however.
Event: Reecer6 has been bitten in his injured left leg by a zombie. He is fighting it off in front of the church steps.
The groans of zombies have become omnipresent as they gather towards the church. As the sun sinks, across the street and on the other side of the forest, sparks can be seen rising in the air as the bombed part of the town begins to burn in earnest. At the moment the wind is the other direction.

Turn 11 Resolution
Xalxe: 2
Xalxe tries valiantly to lock the door, but the bolt barely budges. The door remains unlocked.
Kcdaspot: 6
Kcdaspot returns to his search for weapons, until he suddenly gets a brainstorm: if there's nothing but pews, thenuse a pew!
Unfortunately, the one he picks was Zodiark13's barricade pew. The two of them fight over it briefly, until Zodiark13 jerks it out of Kcdaspot's hands and it swings to hit Kcdaspot in the jaw.
Kcdaspot now has a -1 blanket penalty next turn for disorientation.
chesskid3: 3
chesskid3 takes three steps back from the commotion near the door and looks around, taking in the room at a glance. He sniffs the air, sensing the flow of currents through the space. And then he notices jmj3000 just crashed through one of the stained-glass windows, creating a prime zombie entrance.
jmj3000: 4-1=3
jmj3000 picks himself up and runs to the front doors. He opens them slightly and fires at the zombies. His first two shots goes wide, but the next two slugs claim a zombie each.
jmj3000's shotgun is now loaded with3 birdshot shells.
Zodiark13: 2
Zodiark13 starts to push the pew towards the door. He only makes it a few feet before Kcdaspot makes a grab for it, and the two of them struggle for a while before Zodiark13 is able to regain control of it.
Reecer6: 4
Reecer6, moments away from being eaten by zombies, remembers his cure vial. He takes it out of his pocket, uncorks it, and drinks the contents. His body spasms as the drug takes effect, kicking away the zombie.
Reecer6 has taken the zombie cure. On Turns 13-15, he will be at -1 for all actions due to the side effects of the drug.
The zombies on the street shuffle closer and closer to the front of the church, spreading out and encircling the entrance. The death of the two closest ones has created a small space surrounding Reecer6, but it will not take long for that space to close and for him to be surrounded.
Behind the building, several more zombies approach and pile against the wall at the broken window, smelling the opening but not quite having the reach to pull themselves in. The groaning increases in volume.
In the distance, the fire from the bombing continues to burn.

Turn 12 Resolution
Xalxe: 1
Xalxe calmly and invisibly proceeds down the aisle and into the sacristy, where he procures a large bottle of communion wine. He begins struggling with the cork, pulling and pulling until it suddenly springs free of the bottle and the latter falls out of his hands.
Xalxe now has abruised right foot.He will be at -1 for any actions involving that foot for the next turn.
Kcdaspot: 1-1 = 0
Kcdaspot gives up on his hunt for weapons and decides to employ his right to bear legs. He charges across the room to take a leap through the window, only to catch his foot on the steps up to the stage and do a faceplant.
Kcdaspot now has abroken noseand astubbed right big toe. He will be disoriented (-1) for the next turn and have a -1 for any action involving his right foot for the next three turns.
chesskid3: 1
chesskid3 drops to his knees by the doors and attempts to concentrate on beseeching a benevolent Lord for His assistance. As his eyes are closed while he attempts to do this, he doesn't notice Zodiark13 with his pew.
chesskid3 is now bleeding from the scalp where a leg caught the side of his head. He will be disoriented (-1) for the next turn.
jmj3000: 1-1 = 0
jmj3000 drops the shotgun and slings the ammo bag off his shoulder and dives into it, pulling out a box. Unfortunately, when he picks up the shotgun to load it, the strap of the ammo bag gets caught in the trigger guard.
jmj3000 now has a shotgun loaded with2 birdshot shells. He is also deafened from the noise of the shot and has burns on his left hand from holding the barrel while it fired. He will be at -1 for any action requiring hearing and -1 for any action requiring his left hand for the next three turns.
Zodiark13: 4
Having successfully wrest control of the pew from Kcdaspot, Zodiark13 hauls it the remaining distance to the door while only knocking one other party upside the head with it. He soon has it wedged in place blocking entrance from the front.
Event: The front doors of the church have been blocked with a pew.
Reecer6: 6-1 = 5
Pulling his handy brush out of his jacket, Reecer6 steels himself to the pain and dodges around the knot of zombies at the door to the church. Limping very, very quickly, he weaves his way through the staggering masses and drops onto the porch of the house next door. Conveniently, checking under the flowerpot actuallydoesyield a key to the front door, and Reecer6 is inside with zombies locked outside moments later.
The last of the sunlight is truly gone, now - the only remaining source of light is the dim flickering of the fires through the trees. Through the shattered window of the church, stars can be seen appearing in the eastern sky.

Turn 13 (dum dum dum!) Resolution
Xalxe: 6
Xalxe retrieves the dropped wine bottle, empties the remaining wine into a nearby washbasin, turns on a flashlight, and finds a can of white gas near a camp stove in nearby meeting room. He soon has the bottle filled up and a wick inserted in the top, and as he walks back to the main hall to throw it through the window, he flicks his lighter to ignite it.
Xalxe has accidentallyset his left sleeve on fire. If the fire is extinguished quickly enough, he will only have a -1 for actions involving his left hand. Consequences will be more severe if the fire burns longer.
The floor of the corridor outside the sanctuary is now covered withbroken glass and naphtha. A lighter, not currently burning, lies among the pieces.
Kcdaspot: 1-1 = 0
Kcdaspot puts his hand to his face and tries to staunch the flow of blood from his nose. He isn't very skilled in first aid, however, and just hurts himself more. He spends the next several minutes curled up and whimpering.
chesskid3: 4-1=3
chesskid3 kneels on the ground, praying fervently. Nothing obvious happens, but he does start to feel better.
jmj3000: 2
jmj3000 grabs a shotgun shell out of the box. Without his left hand, however, he can't hold the gun steady enough to put it into the magazine.
Zodiark13: 4
Zodiark13 jogs around the church, looking for any other entrances. The front door is barricaded with the pew, and the other two main doors are barricaded with chairs and such. He also sees the broken window that jmj3000 fell through. All the entrances he sees seem secure enough, although he isn't sure if there are any others.
Reecer6: 5-1 = 4
Reecer6 pushes a coffee table against the front door and limps around the house. Judging by the faint evening light through the windows, he guesses that the main floor is composed of three rooms. The front door opens into a living room. Through a doorway in the back is the kitchen, with the dining room off to the side. A door opens from the kitchen to the backyard. A set of stairs leads from the living room to the upper floor. Reecer uses a chair to jam the kitchen door shut, but can't find anything to barricade the many windows in the dining room.
The dim sky glow of twilight is fast fading. The moaning of the zombies diminishes somewhat, as they fail to find further bodies outside shelter.
