Sarge perforates it's head and it drops.

"Closest are three levels down. Half a minute?"“How close?” he asks Anna, putting his head close to hers to be heard, and looking down the stair.
Dave looks down the stairs, trying to judge whether the group could make it to 4 and safely on their way to the fire stair before the oncoming mob arrives, still thinking it is better to head into somewhat familiar territory rather than face the unknown above After what he has seen here on 5, he’s not sure he’s ready for any more surprises.
He’s somewhat distracted by the ~BOOM~ of Mike’s pipe bomb behind him.

Dave looks down the stairs...
Dave can see a few shadows playing across the railings on level 3, but mostly on levels below. There are some even in line of sight at the bottom, milling around at the base of the stairs.
With the clamor of the fire alarm, pipe bombs, and gunfire, he can't hear a thing.
Sh^t. Cutting it close. Dave glances over at the bewildered and scared looking pair of Aunt Terri and Doc Chez, licks his lips, tastes blood. Probably too close.
<Shouting at Judd, he points at himself.>
"Grew up on a farm, lad. I know which end of that rifle shoots."
“Yeah?” Dave unslings the British sniper rifle and passes it to Cherry. “I want that back when we’re done,” he shouts. “I’ve gotten kind of attached to it.”
<Takes the rifle, finds the safety, flicks it off.>
Tumble past Opponents: With a successful Tumble check (DC 15), the character can weave, dodge, and roll up to 20 feet through squares adjacent to opponents, risking no attacks of opportunity. Failure means the character moves as planned, but provokes attacks of opportunity as normal.
Tumble through Opponents: With a successful Tumble check (DC 25), the character can roll, jump, or dive through squares oc¬cupied by opponents, moving over, under, or around them as if they weren’t there. Failure means the character moves as planned, but provokes attacks of opportunity as normal.
Cord looks around optimistically for a large canister of pure oxygen or something equally volatile to shoot at/pick up/throw down the stairwell.
Perception - (+0 wis, +4 ranks, +3 CS) = +7
The irony of setting off fire alarms and trying to set fire to places is not lost on him and he laughs out loud, which comes out sounding more like a grunting pig than anything else. He stops grunting when he hears something on the radio, but the details are lost to him under the din of the fire alarm.

Cord:
Peering through the smoke from Mike's home mader, Sam thinks she can see movement. Shrugging her shoulders, she opens fire at the nearest moving target through the smoke.
"Guys, we need to move this way. I want to check on some of those dead ones to see what's making them tick and the north staircase is gonna be our best option I think."
Shoot towards the general vicinity of where she thinks Zombie Hulk might be...:
"What the fook is that!?!" Cord yells over the fire alarm pointing his fire axe at the thing crawling on the bones. Any perchance of looking for combustible materials is lost from his mind and he grabs Sam to spin her around to face the new danger.

"My love for you is like a truck, Berzerker!" He screams, laughing like a loon.
>Reminds me of this<
Johnnie, with a look of sheer panic, comes running down the stairs and screams over the gunfire at Anna and Judd in a language that sounds to them a little like Spanish.
Shoot towards the general vicinity of where she thinks Zombie Hulk might be...: 14
Beowuld roars... Sam is shouting something... nobody hears. But they do see Z-Hulk's head blow apart like a watermelon.

Sam's got a .50 cal barking at all hell on what's left of the zombie X-Men. Mike, who's right beside you, is at the critical moment of making fire on a pipe bomb fuse with a cheap Bic lighter--you're not sure with all the noise, but he might be praying.
Might be that watching his back with a fire axe would get him through this without getting jumped by a zombie parasite.

"My love for you is like a truck, Berzerker!" He screams, laughing like a loon.
Sarge double taps Charlie Z through the smoke, right between the eyes: the wheelchair flops over backwards.
At that moment a jolt of emotion hits you, like a stab a hatred--almost electric----and so strong you twitch and a ripple of goosebumps lifts all over your bodies.
ROUND 3: Order
Zombies
Mike: INIT +3, PER +3, AC 19, HP 22, CMD 15, Will +4, ACTION 5
Sam: INIT +3, PER +3, AC 17/18 (MELEE 18), HP 27 (-9), CMD 18, WILL +1, ACTION 25
Dave: INIT +3, PER +7, AC 19, HP 33 (-10), WILL +1, ACTION 15
Zombies move through the smoke, still blinded but moving toward you nonetheless--guided by something.
On the stairs below, zombies are boiling up. A few look like they're almost at level 4.
Fire alarm, smoke, gunfire, zombies, Cthonian psykers, alien parasites. Chaos.
It's coming from walker zombie.
** spoiler omitted **
Watching Mike's back if that it okay with you AllDMs, and I gave him a five foot step so he can attack anything that enters the square behind Mike. Grabbing Sam with the rifle on her shoulder is probably even more dangerous than trying to axe this thing. I don't want to overrule you--but it seemed like you might not have seen the map and I didn't want Cord to blow Sam's shot (she's higher init). You certainly could have turned Mike or Sarge around while stepping toward the thing.
Cord nudges Mike and steps to K8 as he yells "come on you mother f@%$er!" at the bug.
+5 Attack / 1d6+2 Damage, Critical 19-20, Type S
Now I need to hope that I get an AOO if it enters my square as it hopefully has 0 reach.
"Parang awa ninyo! Huwag ninyo akong patayin!!!"
“Sh*t! Johnnie, slow down mate.” Dave turns to Anna. “I can’t understand a word, but it looks like 6 is out,” he yells. Looks down. “Four is pretty much out. Sounds like they’re still fighting in there, but we might have to take our chances through Five.” Dave swallows hard at the thought. Not what he would have preferred.
“Someone see if you can get some sense out of Johnnie. Doc, I need you to watch the stairs up, yell or shoot if you see anything coming down. It might be crawling on the ceiling …” For his part, Judd hefts the Colt to shoulder height and waits for the first zombie to step onto the landing below.
<Mike stagger for a moment from some unseen force.>
"Fire in the HOLE!"
<But still gets the pipe bomb away toward I15>
<Ignoring Cord's screaming and oblivious to the creature lurking at K2, for his second action Mike removes his bag/pack and pulls out the 30 lb IED he found at Mosquito creek, poking at the watch timer.>
The pipe bomb explosion rocks the hallway.
Two zombies remain standing but shredded. Others moan and lay on the floor, some twitchy, some dazed and chewing on other zombies.
Walker zombie is no longer visible through the smoke.
Sam:
Sam, Sarge, Anna, Cherry
"Where are you you bastard," Sam whispers to herself as she attempts to unload on the next Zombie to clear the smoke. Unfortunately her mind is too focused on trying to search for Walker Z to hit.
