Roll to Dodge: Zombie Apocalypse!

[Packbat]

No penalty to my rolls this round, right?

Also yes.

[jmj3000]

Attempt to disarm this alien and command it to take me to its leader

[AcRv]

If you go to the leader, can you ask about the engine? I'm honestly concerned that they might overload or something...

[theplague42]

Bump for theamatuer.

[AcRv]

Bump so people don't forget about it.

[Packbat]

Rolling dice. If necessary, theamatuer won't move this turn.

[theamatuer]

keep climbing

sorry

[Packbat]

No problem.

[theplague42]

Sorry, but I've been distracted by Sandy for the last few days and just logged on again today. I'll do stuff tomorrow.

[theplague42]

Apparently tomorrow means next week.

[Katty Bard]

that's okay! Take all the time you need.

[theplague42]

Less busy-ness, more "theplague42 is really absent-minded and if something isn't written down it never gets done"-ness. Writing now!

[AcRv]

I've been reduced to actually playing mafia games for something to do when waiting =P

[Packbat]

Sorry again for the delays - our usual process is for theplague42 to send me the first draft, me to send him the second, and post when we're both satisfied. I'll post the draft tomorrow if I don't hear from him.

[AcRv]

It's alright, the mafia games were enjoyabe =)

Turn 91 Resolution

jmj3000: 3

Attempt to disarm this alien and command it to take me to its leader.

jmj3000 lunges for the alien's weapon, but he misses. The alien seems to laugh, and gestures towards a nearby door with the barrel. jmj3000 hesitates, then decides it is in his best interest to do what the trooper says. The door slides open as he approaches it, and he finds himself in a hallway leading away from the prison chambers, walking ahead of the trooper.

izakthegoomba: 3

Raise my hands above my head, but don't do anything stupid like turning my back or getting on the floor.

izakthegoomba freezes in place, then slowly raises his hands. The aliens approach, expertly fanning out to avoid getting bunched together. They stare at him, chattering with each other. izakthegoomba stares back at them intensely, hoping to find a weakness in their tactics.

AcRv: 4

Examine the new tool.

Sitting on one corner of the bed (a piece of furniture which seems to demonstrate the universality of uncomfortable-futon technology), AcRv begins playing with the device.

At first glance, it looks startlingly like a longer version of the PlayStation Move controller, save that it is much heavier and only has three obvious controls: a large and a small sliding switch on one side and a trigger opposite it. However, poking the ball reveals it (unlike the light on the Move) to be soft and deformable - at least at first. As AcRv twiddles the large switch, the device makes puffing noises and the ball becomes stiff - either retaining the shape he squeezed it into or popping back into its spherical form.

It's not obvious what the small switch does, but the trigger definitely causes the ball to spin.

theamatuer: 5

None so far

keep climbing.

theamatuer flexes his fingers, crouches, and leaps onto the wall. He somehow manages to grab onto a ledge with his fingertips and deftly pulls himself up. With the sound of gunshots echoing from below, he sees a drainage pipe off to the left and clambers up it towards the roof. Bullets whiz by as he rolls onto the roof, safe from the aliens below. Carefully peeking over the edge, he can see them standing in the alleyway twenty feet below, wondering what to do next.

JDGA: 4

Telekinetically open the door.

JDGA closes his eyes and concentrates, mentally feeling his way around the door mechanism. With a quick telekinetic twist on a switch, the mechanism hums to life and opens. Stepping through, JDGA finds himself in a large, open room lined with tables and benches. At the other end of the room sits a massive table and chair on a raised dais. Behind it, JDGA sees two more doors, though he can see no others along the walls.

The doors quietly slide closed behind him, and he is left in silence.

Katty Bard: 2

Search for any remaining aliens and destroy them bwahahaha.

Katty Bard steps over the bodies and out into the hallway, rifle ready for action. Downstairs, she can hear several more troopers...

...who evidently have been alerted by the gunfire coming from above. Deciding to forgo any direct assault, the commander gestures at the ceiling enthusiastically. The alien troopers point their weapons at the ceiling and open fire...

...and bullet holes open up around Katty Bard's feet. She cries out as her ankle is hit, and she lunges to the side.

Katty Bard has been shot. She will be at -1 next turn, or -2 if her action involves using her left foot.

Mist7676: 5

Look in the stores for weapons.

Mist7676 carefully opens the nearest door, keeping a sharp eye for movement. She enters, and screams in fright at the sight of several bodies lying on the ground. On further inspection, however, she finds that all of them are considerably dead and pose no danger. The building, apparently a store, is filled with mostly empty shelves. She sees something metallic in the corner, however, and investigates. A very large knife or small sword is leaning against the wall, still in its sheath. Mist7676 picks it up and notices a strange loop and latch on the bottom. Remembering a war movie she had once seen, she tries to fit it on the end of her rifle. Miraculously, it slides onto the barrel smoothly and locks firmly into place. Mist7676 smiles impishly, and stabs the nearest wall. The razor-sharp blade sinks in with a firm

*thunk*

. Nearby, she finds four magazines of ammo, which also fit her rifle! She inserts one, slams it home, and expertly charges the chamber. Taking aim, she fires through the entrance door. A satisfying

*crack*

is followed by the

*ping*

of the bullet striking the asphalt outside. Mist7676 stuffs the rest of the magazines in her pockets and walks back out to the street, ready to traffick in death.

Mist7676 has gained 119 rounds of ammunition and a large, pointy bayonet.

[Katty Bard]

WHOOPS

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

[Packbat]

That wasn't meant to be static, but okay...

It does that sometimes. The code is a little quirky.

Hm. How many are there?

About half a dozen - you didn't count them.

Noo, I meant to fix it to put seven, because it was 6 originally, then It coded wierd. Then I realized I shouldn't count myself, so I just went with the original 5, so I got JDGA.

Also.. IZAK Y U NO COUNT?

[JDGA]

oh god I'm in the assembly hall aka mission briefing room?

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

[izakthegoomba]

Ok.

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

[AcRv]

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