"Cities are deathtraps. I don't know about the lot of you, but I'm heading out where there's open space to run and critters to hunt. You can tag along if you want." says Annie.

"Good thinking." Annie rifles through the strange man's pockets, but finds nothing of worth.
Annie shoulders her bow and runs through. Once clear of the mob, she settles into a jog and looks for somewhere defensible to hide.
Annie advances toward the emerging gap in the zombies. She is careful to keep Finneus and Oravak between herself and them. She plugs another squarely in the chest.
Annie cocks an eyebrow at Charles's comment. "Punch a hole through the mob there, then make a run for it! Ignore those coming from the other sides."
Are they coming from all sides of the hill?
Annie shakes her head. "A priest would be best, but those seem hard to come by lately."
"A real doctor that can heal? Or one of those phony 'peeachdees' from the other world that doesn't know a bandage from a splint?" she asks.
Annie crests the hill at a controlled jog. She makes a quick scan of her surroundings, looking for higher ground or somewhere defensible. "Any of you bitten?" she brusquely asks those assembled, careful to keep her distance.
Ready to go.
GM Brains: is there any ETA on when the party will be decided?
In my mind, high tech weaponry is A. too loud
to be of any real use. That's why Annie will stick is a bow.
You'd know general things, I'm not sure how in depth that book is. It's geared toward a 'scientific' zombie plague (think, Resident Evil) so none of that would apply. But it contains a lot of practical advice for building defensive positions, long term survival and avoiding the undead horde.
A question for you GM Brains: How zombie-savvy would the characters be at this point? Would stuff from the Zombie Survival Guide be common knowledge?
It sounds interesting. I'd like to submit Annie here. Only thing left to do is spend the rest of the starting gold.
"Shove off the ladders!" Shouts Annie as she tries to pick off the Southern Goblin foolish enough to climb up first.
"Far beyond goblin artifice I think. Let's see if there is anything of use to us." Annie searches the room for any intact vials or other useful gear. Afterwards she lights a torch of her own and tosses it over the cliff on the East side.
Annie follows as well, on the lookout for trouble.
"Anybody bring a grapnel?" asks Annie "If not, then it's down, down to goblin town for us"
Once across the bridge, Annie draws her bow and follows whomever wishes to lead down the staircase.
Annie draws an arrow and covers Gulver's traversal. Once the gnome is safely on the other side, she shoulders it once again and follows him across.
Annie shoulders the mallet and redraws her bow. She squints as her eyes adjust to the glare above ground. She heads through the door, but stops at the edge of the bridge. She pokes the ropes with her foot. "Hey Gulver, is this thing safe to cross?"
"Don't give them time to reinforce!" Annie shouts. She shoulder's her bow and pulls out a sledge hammer. The hammer comes down and splinters go flying as large cracks appear in the wood.
Annie tries her luck again, this time scoring a satisfying *thunk* against one of Lucky's assailants. The greenskin doesn't go down, but he is on his last legs.
Annie tries to pick off one of the little snot bags swarming Lucky but her arrow embeds itself into the far wall instead.
Annie lets loose an arrow the moment she reaches the bottom of the stairs.
Arrow still nocked, Annie prepares to follow Sven down into battle.
Since the area is not quite as cramped as she was expecting, Annie plants her torch in the clay about ten feet in front of the southern door, then redraws her bow. She gestures to the demon's mouth, knocks an arrow and takes position to fire through it once opened.
Annie takes the other torch and heads on in herself.
Annie draws her knife "Likewise"
I'm confused. How did you attack twice when the GM said there wasn't a surprise round? Also, I believe sneak attack has a maximum range of 30' normally.
Annie throws up a fist for the party to stop before the edge of the clearing. She then points at the dead log, followed by throwing up two fingers and finally puts her index finger to her mouth. After this series of gestures, she draws her bow, nocks an arrow and begins sneaking around the right edge of the clearing to get a better angle at her prey.
And promptly steps on a dry twig.
"Refuse, lots of little footprints, and their victims of course. Goblins are not subtle creatures. They're vicious and cruel which is no doubt why a bounty is being offered on the little buggers."
Annie will stay near the front of the group, but not the absolute front.
She'll be on 3rd watch. She has 5 trail rations.
"Not specifically," Annie replies. "Goblins are hardly subtle creatures, I'm sure if we head down South, I'll be able to pick up a trail however."
"Those bills were yours?" The scrappy young woman asks. "I've been itching for an expedition myself. If you're game, brother Zander, you've got yourself a guide. I'm Annie." She spits on her palm and thrusts it out to the priest.
Glad to join. So first question: Is the river flowing Northwest or Southeast?
Being a little superstitious, Annie goes about procuring some beer for the road. And a little for herself now while she's at it. She'll hang out in the tavern until a clear plan of action is determined.
Background added. Tied in to Mr. Cobb. I'll figure out a description by tomorrow.
So I'm undoing the new guns, lets go with cannon [look a pun] guns. So can I start with a cannon instead of a rifle? ;-) Given everyone else's previous success at rolling, I'm going to play it safe and take the 21 point buy.
I was torn between submitting this character and a gnome ‘experimental gunsmith’ mad scientist. Stats are in the profile. Background coming shortly. Also, it’s a shame that affording a second revolver to dual wield is out of the price range.
Yeah, seriously.
Understood. I'm aiming more for paranoid and ruthless. Definitely not 'evil for evil's sake'
My submission. I assumed standard WBL, is this correct?
