As soon as I hear the knock on the door, I whip around and for a second, I'm scared. However, after a second I realize that it's obviously not what I think it is.Action: I grab any furniture and with the help of anyone who cares to help, I barricade the door, not to keep the zombies from getting in(right next to the door), but since they're going to get in anyways, I place it just around the door, so that once they get in, they have to climb over it/knock it over to get to us. However, I don't stack it high enough that I couldn't shoot the zombies still.-

@ mod: out of curiosity, can I take another action in response to gandalfs, or no?
As far as I know, you can. I figure the order of actions will be the order in which they are posted. In any conflict arises, we'll probably use something like Natural Action Resolution Having a broken leg, illness, etc. could push you to the back of the list. In this case, yes your action can take place after gandalfs.
@Blackberry
Can you refrain from posting until further notice? You posting as a non-player is unfair to those on the waiting list, as they can't post either, while joining the game before you. I can put you on the waiting list if you want.
Preview edit: Thanks, Xalxe.

My train of thought disrupted by the sound of furniture scraping the floor, the vague recollection of someone knocking on the door hits me. I walk towards the door and ask Gandalf why he is blocking the door before he knows who is outside. I call outWho is it?
Talking doesn't count as an action. You can do something in addition to asking gandalf and calling "who is it."
Can I wait for an answer before I decide if opening the door is a good idea or not?
Yes, you can. Read Packbat's post below
If human voice responds, ask if any zombies are nearby. If voice says that there are no zombies nearby, go to gandalf, ask him to be ready in case of trouble, and quickly open the door and peek outside. If zombies can get inside before the person outside can, shut and lock door quickly. If voice says that there are zombies close, shout an apology and don't open the door.
If no response, don't open the door.
that good?Last edited by chesskid3 on Mon Jan 10, 2011 5:44 pm, edited 4 times in total.Papa Zito - "Your signature has been blanked...we remove signatures at a users request if said signature references them, or if it quotes from a thread in the Speakeasy, which is not allowed without permission of the poster"-

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.
