Hehehehe.

I've been waiting for this.


Sam has not used a full round attack so it seems to me that she can still use her move action to run back outside to the lounge patio.

Eddie snarls and quickly takes to a run as plaster showers down on Sam's head. She backpedals out of the lounge onto the balcony, sliding to a stop on broken glass.

Eddie is charging toward her across the lounge trailing no doubt lethal streamers of saliva and snot.

Sarge:
You have a set of keys, it looks like it includes some car keys, house keys and others. The bay door is opened by a power garage door opener with a lock on the wall.

Patrick opens the bay door via the opener on the wall. He then goes to the boat to find the correct key. Once {and if} he finds it he will attempt to fire up the boat. If he does he will trip the WT

"Guys got our transportation online. Time to beat feat on outta this place and try to pick up Dave!"

Muttering, "oh sh!t, this can not end well", Sam realizes that the Beowulf is going to be useless in close quarters and drops the gun, quickly drawing both of her Tonfa as she prepares for the Zombie's onrushing attack.


Can I see what's happening to Sam?

Perception (1d20+7=17)

You don't want to take your "last shot"?

Will I still get time to shoot once more before he closes? I don't want to be droping and drawing when he's right on top of me and I'm provoking an AoO. If I can get one more shot in and still draw both Tonfa then sure, if not I'll take my chance.

You have initiative, and he can't run up the stairs, so he has used a double move and has closed to ten feet. You can fire the gun again, drop it, and draw a weapon in one round.


Mike takes careful, albeit shaky aim at another one of the dog-eaters, and fires.

Attack: 15 + 3 - 10 = 8

He forgets to hold the the rifle tightly against his shoulder, and the unwieldy firearm kicks back, the heavy scope impacting his forehead and nose.

Mike drops the sniper rifle onto the shingles at his feet, feeling the two shallow, crescent-shaped cuts on his face.

"F!!*. This. S$&&."

He scrambles higher up the building.

I know a guy that had that happen to him while he was hunting in Canada. Took a shot from a standing position, didn't brace himself, and *POW*. They called him Scarface the rest of the trip.


Dave glances back at the zombies. He’s outpacing them, sure … but he’s rapidly running out of runway. He looks up at the guys in the boat, nods once, then puts his head down, runs, leaps …

Jump: 17+9+2 (extreme action talent) = 28

He times it perfectly, a leap worthy of an Olympic longjumper. He lands in the boat, in a crouch, then looks up and grins somewhat manically. “G’day.”

Sam pops off one final shot with the Beowulf before tossing it, yelling "Fnck!" at the top of her lungs and drawing a Tonfa, dropping into a defensive stance.

Attack Roll against "Eddie" with Beowulf, using Point Blank Shot. (1d20+4+1=6) WTF?!? What the hell has IC got against Sam all of a sudden? Two attacks against Eddie and two 1's. This can only end with me rolling up a Russian Mobster to take Sam's Zombified place on the team. =(


Let me say on behalf of everyone here... UH OH!


RUH ROH!

I tend to get a little worried when stuff like this come from the GM...


Everyone hears Sam's rifle fire twice.

JUDD:
Judd soars like an eagle, skidding to a stop on the front of the boat and miraculously staying on his feet.

A little Asian man is behind the wheel, and greets Judd, "Hi, nice jump."

Then he guns the engine and brings the boat around. The zombies chasing Judd tumble over the boulders at the edge of the promontory, snarling and howling in rage.

SAM:
As Sam pulls her tonfa, Eddie closes in.

Grapple rules:

Spoiler:
Starting a Grapple

To start a grapple, a character first needs to grab and hold his or her target. Attempting to start a grapple is the equivalent of making a melee attack. If the character gets multiple attacks in a round, he or she can attempt to start a grapple multiple times (at successively lower base attack bonuses). Follow these steps.

1. Attack of Opportunity: A character provokes an attack of opportunity from the target he or she is trying to grapple. If the attack of opportunity deals the character damage, the character fails to start the grapple. If the attack of opportunity misses or otherwise fails to deal damage, proceed to step 2.

2. Grab: The character makes a melee touch attack to grab the target. If the character fails to hit the target, the character fails to start the grapple. If the character succeeds, proceed to step 3.

3. Hold: Make an opposed grapple check. (This is a free action.) If the character succeeds, the character has started the grapple, and deals damage to the target as if with an unarmed strike.

If the character loses, he or she fails to start the grapple. The character automatically loses an attempt to hold if the target is two or more size categories larger than the character is (but the character can still make an attempt to grab such a target, if that’s all he or she wants to do).

4. Maintain the Grapple: To maintain the grapple for later rounds, the character must move into the target’s square. (This movement is free and doesn’t count as part of the character’s movement for the round movement.) Moving, as normal, provokes attacks of opportunity from threatening enemies, but not from the target. The character and the target are now grappling.

If the character can’t move into the target’s square, the character can’t maintain the grapple and must immediately let go of the target. To grapple again, the character must begin at step 1.

Eddie attempts to grab Sam, provoking an AoO.

SARGE:
You key the bay door and leap back into the boat. It starts like a charm.

JOHNNY, ALBERT, MIKE:
The dog-eaters are sprinting toward the clubhouse. Range 100 feet.

JOHNNY:
You hear the clatter of glass and Sam's cursing, enough to know she's in trouble.


“Hey, thanks for the ride man,” Judd says, nodding to the man at the wheel before turning and giving the finger to the zombies at the end of the promenade.

“My plan turned out to have a few flaws in it,” he continues, turning back. “Name’s Dave Judd. And before you ask, none of them touched me, or breathed too close to me … if they breathe. Listen, I know I’m probably all out of favours, but I’ve got some friends over at that clubhouse over there … see, where that ravening horde of zombies is headed … ah … reckon you could give them a hand too?”


"I'm Hank Wang. We're cool Mister Judd. No shootey-shootey, just help people."

<Hank flicks on his WT.>

"Time to retreat Albert, you think?"


Into the WT: "Yup, over."

<Albert gets back on his feet and slings his rifle over his shoulder.>


“Cool. Thanks again Hank. And you can just call me Dave, or Judd.” Dave holsters his Glock, suddenly realising that he might not be the picture of friendliness with it in one hand and the crowbar in the other. He looks about.

What sort of boat is it? Any others about that I can see?

And does the guy look like Short Round?


Hank is a little shy of 5 feet with unimaginably short legs and a large flat ass. You can't tell where he's looking because one of his eyeballs is wonky, but he radiates an air of peace and friendliness.

The guys in the back of the boat nod at you. One holds his rifle at the ready and the other has a large pair of nautical binoculars.


<Hank points over his shoulder with his thumb and shouts over the roar of the twin Evinrude 75s as he heads to the clubhouse.>

"These guys is Gordon and Stan. They talk lots usually. Right now we gonna get Albert and your friends."

<He pats the gorgeous 20 foot fishing boat.>

"This my fishing boat. You like?"


Waiting for Sam's AoO.... If you miss then spoiler an opposed grapple in case Eddie makes his touch.


Hank starts singing:
"One day we takin off baby and ever since the Lord saved me
I've been waitin for the day we can say, it's all gravy
It's all crazy tryin seeing to see life when its all hazy
How can I persist to do right when I'm all lazy?
Feel me? Too much pain it all ails me
Vexed, cause I can feel the effects of the Fall daily
The pain in my chest is strong, let's get on
Come Lord, quick, bring on the eschaton..."

Shouts at Judd: "You alright with the Lord, Dave? Now is good time."


“Yeah man, it’s a nice boat.”

Then:

“Um … I’m not really the religious sort … Hey, if I’m wrong, hell can’t be much worse than this here, right?”


"Hell is coming."

Attack of Opportunity on "Eddie". (1d20+4=18)
Damage from Tonfa. (1d4+1=2)

Sam sees "Eddie" coming at her and swings the Tonfa at his head, just winging him.
He keeps coming and she tries another swing but her balance is off on the broken glass and her swing goes wild.

Next Round
Move Action: Draw second Tonfa.
Standard Action: Attack "Eddie" with only one Tonfa.

Attack "Eddie" with Tonfa. (1d20+4=7)


Sam throws a tonfa hardened cross block knocking Eddie off course, his spittle spreading out in graceful streamers that Sam watches nervously. He wails and stumbles through the glass.


I'm just letting this roll as you guys post, so Rad and Shiny, if Johnny or Mike want to come looking for Sam, she might want some help. You can walk right up to the patio on the upper level and look down on Sam and Eddie.


Female Human (Caucasian; Australian) Fast Hero 4

Kruel:

Spoiler:

We're on a landing right? What would I have to do to try and force Eddie over the rails, making him fall to the ground below? Just tossing out thoughts at this stage, not fully committed to that course of action yet.


Samantha Bastian wrote:

Kruel:

** spoiler omitted **

You sure can. You're on a patio connected to the lounge. The railing is cedar and looks pretty solid though.


Patrick backs the boat out of the bay slowly, trying to get the feel of the controls. When he hits open water he trips the WT

"The boat is ready to rock and roll folks! Status update please!"


Your new boat has a Blaupunkt stereo with a loaded stack of discs. Go crazy.


After being knocked back through another window by Sam's blow, Eddie is a slobbering, mucous and blood trailing wretch... and no doubt highly infectious.

Johnny? You heard trouble -- coming back?


DMPC Johnny:

Having heard the commotion Johnny leaves the G3 on its tripod and dashes to the back of the upper roof, drawing his shotgun on the run, to where he can look down on the patio. He arrives just in time to see Sam knock Eddie back through the glass.

His init is higher than Eddie, so he'll use a readied action to shoot Eddie through the top of his skull when he comes out.

Roll:


Sam spots Johnny. I assume she'll delay or ready an action to occur if Johnny misses....

Eddie charges back out through the window at Sam but before he can close half the distance between Johnny rains lead shot down through the top of his skull.

Eddie stumbles and falls but he's still moving, crawling toward Sam, staring with the eye that is not hanging by a bundle of nerves, and spraying blood in bursts across the ground in front of him.


Nice...


All that remains are capping Eddie one last time and getting off the roof before the clubhouse is surrounded.

The WTs chirp:

BANG!

<Albert drops one of the dog eaters and gets onto his feet, grabbing the G3.>

To Mike: "Let's go kid, that's enough good deeds for today."


<Hank pulls a small pocket bible out of a cardboard box at his feet and holds it out to Judd.>

"You keep this, maybe you reconsider later," he shouts above the roar of the Evinrudes.


“Ah, yeah, right, thanks,” mumbles Judd, taking the small bible and putting it into a pocket before re-drawing his Glock. “Zombies,” he explains, nodding towards the Z’s swarming towards the clubhouse on the shore.


"We cover your buddies when they run onto dock."

<He looks back at his friends Gordon and Stan in the back of the boat.>

"Let's make these right with God."

<They nod. He pulls the boat in along the west pier where everyone on the boat will have a clear shot at the back of the clubhouse.>


Are there any zombies visible at the back of the clubhouse yet? If not, Dave leaps off the boat and onto the pier as Hank draws alongside, running towards his friends. If there are (not including Eddie) … he’ll shoot instead.


You can ready the action. They should all make climb rolls to get down the back quickly. The zombies need to find their way around back which means getting past a gate.

I see that Al's seen Mike's tattoo.

Mike wipes blood out of his eyes.

"Damn right."

He stops.

"F@+%, my guns are in the motherf@#*ing Camaro... F%@+!"

And why do I have the sneaking suspicion that Hank Wang is based on a real person...


Kruelaid

Spoiler:
Will be very busy today. But use the following attack rolls:

Shotgun Atk (1d20+3=15, 1d20+3=15, 1d20+3=9, 1d20+3=22, 1d20+3=18)

Spoiler:
This guy from a Chinese Church in my hometown. Came to Canada and was just crazy about fishing and saving people.

Shiny, Rad, climb rolls. Hehe. Rad's busy. If you guys don't check in after a few hours...


Climb (1d20+1=17)

Quit gloating.


Female Human (Caucasian; Australian) Fast Hero 4

Sam drops a Tonfa and pulls out her Sig as she takes a step away from "Eddie's" crawling form. Aiming the gun at the strugggling form, she pulls the trigger.
5' Step. Drop Tonfa. Draw Sig. Point. Shoot. Blam.
Shoot Eddie with Sig (Point Blank Shot). (1d20+4+1=14)
Damage from Sig. (2d6=8)
Thanks for the save Johnnie. I um... coulda taken him though... yeah I coulda taken him for sure... maybe...
