Roll to Dodge: Zombie Apocalypse!

[Packbat]

Is there an obvious way to open a panel on the device to get to the wiring?

Usual caveat about theplague42's veto: there's a latch that might open the bottom; otherwise no.

[AcRv]

Assume the latch will open and try to open it

[jmj3000]

Follow the aliens commands

He has the weapon, thus he has the power.

Added to replacements list. Character?

[drmyshottyizsik]

I am a 24 year old archery champion and I carry a cross bow and a one hand sword on my back.

[Packbat]

Rolling dice less than a week late - that's practically on schedule!

[Katty Bard]

I'm proud. Especially with the holidays!

[izakthegoomba]

Packbat is the new Valve.

Packbat and theplague42 - I don't deserve

all

the credit.

Turn 92 Resolution

jmj3000: 2

Follow the aliens commands.

jmj3000 staggers a bit as he walks down the hallway. As the stresses of the day catch up with him, he stumbles and falls, unable to comply with the aliens screeching demands.

As the alien stands back, nonplussed, the wave of dizziness passes.

izakthegoomba: 5

Wait for one to get close, then punch him in the head, throw him at the others, and try to fight my way past them.

izakthegoomba tenses as the nearest alien approaches him. He suddenly lunges out, smashing his fist into the side of the trooper's head. He grabs the now-unconscious trooper, spins, and throws the body at the other aliens. The trooper impacts his fellow soldiers with a

*crunch*

and they fall to the ground. izakthegoomba quickly moves up and disarms them as they lay on their backs, dazed.

AcRv: 5

Assume the latch will open and try to open it.

AcRv carefully pushes one fingernail into the latch. As he does so, the base of the device pops loose, and he slides that piece out of the case quite easily. Examining the part he just removed, he sees a set of contacts on the top, suggesting that it is the power supply for the machine; looking into the hole, he sees glimpses of two motors - one which rotates the knob, the other of which is apparently an air pump.

Spoiler: Non-canon misreading version

AcRv sneaks up to the door and pulls the lever. Surprisingly, it opens and AcRv cracks the door open. He sees no obvious guards in the hallway, so he swings the door open and exits the cell.

theamatuer: 3

None so far.

theamatuer leans back on the roof, looking to either side. He sees a haze of smoke hanging over the woods that were bombed just a few days earlier. After a moment, he concludes that the fire risk is basically gone for now.

As for what to do next - he doesn't know.

JDGA: 3

Search the room for anything that might explain what the hell's going on here (like some left-behind papers or alien equivalent).

JDGA scours the room, checking tables, drawers, and seats for any evidence of the aliens' ultimate goal. He finds nothing except a small remote wedged between two benches, as if it had fallen and been forgotten. He pressed the single, large button on the top of the remote.

Over on the side wall, a panel opens and a screen turns on. Some sort of diagram is displayed on the screen. It has several arrows and military-looking symbols around a planet that is obviously the Earth. JDGA examines the alien text, but can't make anything out.

Katty Bard: 6-1=5

hobble quietly back into living room, hopping on right foot as much as possible.

Katty Bard swears loudly and hobbles back into the apartment. She closes and locks the door behind her, managing to push a table behind it. She crouches behind the counter, examining her wound. A bullet grazed her ankle, making a bloody but minor wound. She grabs a hand towel from the kitchen counter and ties it securely around her wound.

Katty Bard's ankle is sufficiently bound to allow nearly full movement.

Mist7676: 6

Search for JDGA

Mist7676 doubles back towards the large structure, rifle ready for action. She soon sees the structure a few blocks ahead, as well as a large guard of aliens outside the nearest entrance. She steadies the rifle on a garbage can and opens fire. Several aliens fall, struck down by bullets. The bolt clicks back, the magazine empty. The remaining three aliens take cover and return fire. Bullets whiz past Mist7676's head as she ducks down to reload.

Mist7676 is down to 90 rounds. She is in the process of changing magazines.

Spoiler: Turn 93 Actions

1. jmj3000: Fake fainting, then overpower the alien when his guard is down.

2. izakthegoomba: Grab some grenades and a ton of ammo, and a machine gun of some kind (or some other big-ass gun if I can't get one). Keep the pistols.

3. AcRv: Put the device back together and pocket it. If I'm then able to, take out my iPhone and play a loud siren noise while crouching to the side of the door, with intent on being behind any alien guard that runs in at the sound of the alarm.

4. theamatuer: head into the woods.

5. JDGA: None so far.

6. Katty Bard: Look for more weapons. You can never have too many!

7. Mist7676: Continue murdering :3

[izakthegoomba]

Best time a 5 could possibly come!

What weapons/other useful stuff did I get?

[Packbat]

Crap! Just realized AcRv was talking about the gizmo, not the door. Will fix when I'm at my laptop.

Edit: done.

[Packbat]

PMing theplague42 - we'll get back to you quick as we can.

[Katty Bard]

hooray!

Look for more weapons. You can never have too many!

[animorpherv1]

Um, JDGA has siteflaked. I talked to him over MSN, and he's taking a break from the site. I'd check theamatuer's last post date.

Yes that face means I make a cat face after they are all dead JUST SAYING..

Fake fainting, then overpower the alien when his guard is down

You seem to enjoy spending time on the floor, don't you?

[theplague42]

I'm going to be gone from tomorrow (Monday) until Friday, most likely.

I'm going to be gone from tomorrow (Monday) until Friday, most likely.

I will roll dice and start the resolutions, but allow izakthegoomba and JDGA until theplague42's return to sneak in their moves.

[izakthegoomba]

Any decision on what loot I got?

Any decision on what loot I got?

Loot roll: 3

There's plenty of ordinance scattered about the room - one of the troopers went sliding across the table in the middle of the melee - but ignoring that and the stuff in the racks, you have a couple rifles and pistols that you can walk away with right now without spending a turn gathering stuff.
