Turn 54 Resolution

jmj3000: 2

jmj3000 browses the shop, looking for a pistol to add to his arsenal. He sees an exceptionally shiny one and picks it up. It has a trigger lock and cannot be operated until he can remove it. He looks around, trying to find mb53, who has disappeared with the keys.

mb53: 5-1 = 4

Struggling under the weight of his rifle and ammunition, mb53 nevertheless makes it up a service ladder to the roof of the gun store. He has an excellent, panoramic view of the entire city. A few blocks over, he can see the liquor store where this all started, as well as the church across the street. Nearer, he can see a house surrounded by dozens of dead zombies. He smiles grimly and turns around to view the downtown area.

His smile instantly disappears.

Zodiark13: 5

Zodiark13 closes his eyes and concentrates intently. His toes start to tingle, and the sensation spreads to the rest of his body. One time-space rift and a hellish departicalization later, he finds himself on the roof next to a rather large, muscular human.

"Who are you and where am I?" Zodiark13 asks.

mb53 silently raises his arm and points.

"What am I supposed to be...." Zodiark falls silent as he follows mb53's gesture.

AurorusVox: 2

AurorusVox lowers his horns and charges at the grey figures, roaring for his dead comrade (who he actually killed himself). A split second before they would be impaled, the figures sidestep the clumsy triceratops.

CSL: 3

CSL starts walking towards the shopping district of the city with the two cats in tow. She sees a sign for the gun shop and heads toward it. She is nearly there when she is tackled by Riley who starts licking her face, apparently sorry for the loss of her magic.

animorpherv1: 3

animorpherv1 starts daydreaming about how much he would like a nice red mushroom right now. He wakes up to find himself alone; CSL and Zodiark13 seem to have left without telling him.

---

Across the downtown from the gun store, planted on top of what used to be the high-voltage power line right-of-way, is a jet-black tower, forming a fat cone about a hundred feet high and sixty feet across at the base. The electrical transmission towers seem to be torn down for about a quarter mile in either direction from the tower, and what looks like some sort of camp has been constructed at the base of the tower. Figures can be seen moving among the buildings.

1. jmj3000: Find mb53 so he can remove the trigger lock.

Turn 55 Resolution

jmj3000: 5

mb53: 1

jmj3000 picks up the pistol and looks around the empty shop. He notices the open stepladder to the roof, and starts walking over to check if mb53 is up there.

A moment later, mb53 is no longer up there, as the high-school lineman misses a step under his staggeringly heavy load of armaments and tumbles ingloriously to the ground.

"Erm ... are you all right?" asks jmj3000.

"Nnnnuh." replies mb53.

"...can I have the keys to open the trigger lock on this?" asks jmj3000.

mb53 groans, then wiggles slightly, freeing his arm to hold out the keys. jmj3000 picks them out of his hand.

"Thanks!"

"Mmuh."

mb53 has taken a bad fall. He will be at -1 next turn.

jmj3000 is now equipped with a 9mm Beretta 92FS loaded with fifteen rounds - the remaining 45 rounds from the liquor store are in his bag.

Zodiark13: 2

As mb53 makes his way to the ladder, Zodiark13 tries to make out more details about the tower. The glare from the afternoon sun makes it difficult for him to see anything of value, and he is soon distracted by the sound of two hundred and fifty pounds of linebacker carrying fifty pounds of armament tumbling down eight feet of stepladder.

AurorusVox: 6

AurorusVox smashes his feet into the ground, trying to cause a tremor and knock his opponents off-balance. Instead, the asphalt gives way and he sinks into the ground. His bellowing fails to intimidate his grey-skinned assailants, a dozen of whom quickly surround him.

In the distance, AurorusVox hears a faint roaring. So do the grey creatures, who chitter amongst themselves before several break off and head towards the noise.

CSL: 3

CSL carefully picks her way through the window into the gun store. She sees jmj3000 admiring his new gun.

"So," she says, "Anything for a lady?"

Outside, Riley casts her head about looking for animorpherv1, and roars loudly into the air when she doesn't see him. The lynx looks at her with an expression as profoundly incredulous as is possible for a cat.

animorpherv1: 4

Also hearing Riley's roars, animorpherv1 quickly makes his way towards the downtown area. A few minutes later, he sees the cats outside the store and Zodiark13 on the roof, glancing back and forth between something below him and something outside towards the downtown area.

Spoiler: Turn 56 Actions

1. jmj3000: Search for more ammo.

2. Zodiark13: Tell everyone about the pointy thing I saw.

3. mb53: Do stuff.

4. AurorusVox: Play Yahtzee with the reptilian creatures. If I lose, gore them with my horns.
