Anyway do we know where the outbreak is located at? If it's halfway across the country or within our city? If it's far, we have some time to prepare before it reaches us.

>>2807648
Judging by the sirens and gunshots there is probably an outbreak here.

That or everyone is just panicking

>>2807659
Could be just rioting, and looting of stores and shops. People getting T.Vs and liquor after getting the news of a outbreak of zombies.

The outbreak is happening everywhere it seems, and this is the first you've heard of it.

You haul your sofa over to the door and make a barricade. From outside you can hear one of your neighbors, a couple by the sound, arguing loudly.

You head to your bedroom, excited at the thought of finally getting a chance to use your weapons. Before you get started you notice you have an uncomfortable boner and rub a quick one out. After cleaning up you get into a nice pair of jeans, and layer up into a shirt, sweater, and hoodie. You put a ski mask on as a beanie for the time being, in case you need to cover your face. For shoes you put on your old hiking boots.

For weapons, you never sleep without your trusty Colt .45 or bowie knife close at hand. The pistol is already loaded with 2 extra 7 round magazines which go in one pocket. You put a box of 50 rounds in another and attach holsters for the weapons to your belt. Your boner's back.

You have some other basic items around the apartment, such as your kitchen knives, household tools, an old broom, a baseball bat etc. If you want to make an improvised weapon it would take some time, or you can check for something to take with you.

You realize that you might have to leave at any given moment, and decide to start packing your car. You pocket your keys, wallet and phone, and call Mom while you start gathering packages of food and water from the tiny kitchen and staging them near the door. Your parents live on the east coast, and it's been a long time since you talked to either of them.


It's Dad that answers the phone. Mom is gone, one of them bit her and she was infected. Dad's heading upstate to get your sister from college and heading to a government safe zone from there. He wants you to get somewhere safe to weather this whole thing out. Don't worry, he says. The government will sort this out and he'll come find you when this is over. If you run into your cousin Rachel, look after her, will you?


You're standing at the door, shaking. Mom's gone.

Fuck it. No time to waste right now, gotta stay ahead of the curve and the clock is ticking. (You are rattled, -2 to resolve checks)

You move your sofa and open the door, heading down the steps and out to the parking lot with a shopping basket full of supplies at a time. Out in the lot you see that there's a black man doing the same as you with his young son - he eyes you suspiciously before continuing to pack.

You get in and start the car to check the fuel gauge and see that your tank is half full. Your old blue sedan's trunk is packed with plenty of microwaveable and instant foods, and a couple boxes of bottled water.

While you're sitting there, you hear a siren coming down the street. Instinctively you look to the right and see that an ambulance is speeding dangerously down the street, swerving to the left and right. Time seems to slow down as it drives over the curb, careening toward the parking lot. Toward your car.

Roll 2d20 and...

>Start the car, reverse and put the pedal to the metal.

As long as there aren't a ton of players I'll just take the best results for rolls. You kinda smashed this one so I'll just write it.

You react quickly and throw the car into reverse, slamming down the accelerator as the ambulance smashes into one more curb and hurtles toward you. The tires screech for a second that feels like an eternity before the sedan shoots backward, out of your parking spot before the ambulance smashes into the cars next to yours. The sirens continue to blare uncomfortably and the vehicle's hood is smoking. Your car seems fine though you bumped your rear into another car on the way out.

You stare through your windshield, heart beating out of your chest. The ambulance driver's airbag is deployed.

>>2807956
That's important check that also

While waiting I'm gonna clarify some rules and how to play stuff.

Queue actions is basically the way to play this quest. Just put things you want to do in the order you want to do them. You can be as generic or specific as you want with each and every action you take, and you're not limited to options the QM gives you. Actions will be carried out simultaneously if possible, for example giving orders to your group while shooting zombies and walking toward the stairs. The queue that has the most support or is agreed upon by the players will be written.

Most rolls will require 2d20, first roll is resolve, second roll is for skill. You need a 9 or higher resolve roll, or you take penalties to your skill roll. The skill roll needs to beat a DC that I determine based on what you're trying to do.

>>2807956
You don't have the specific tool, but you think you could cut a length of your shower hose for that. Or you could try an auto parts store or gas station, off the top of your head.

>>2807995
Fuck this, you're out of here. You peel out of the parking lot, and hit the road. As you leave you look through the rear view mirror and see the black father approaching the ambulance cautiously.

You're on the streets of Glendale, driving carefully. Traffic is light and it doesn't seem like anyone's stopping for lights. There's blood on the sidewalks and you've passed the abandoned wreckage of two cars, but you don't see any of... them. Where are you headed?

You don't have a welding torch, but could probably get one at a hardware store... along with a lot of other useful things. You start making a list of stores to hit for useful gear and tools, but first you're headed to Rachel's.

>>2808033
>>2808211

You tune in to various channels along the way...

The national guard is calling all reserves into active duty at the nearest garrison.
The national guard is setting up a safe zone at the city college, and a quarantine zone at the hospital for the infected.
A radio host and guest are arguing the morality of killing the infected who are out of control of their actions.

You pass over the highway several times and notice a growing amount of traffic going in and out of the city. As you enter the lower neighborhoods you start to see them. First one making its way out of an abandoned car as you pass. Then a couple you slow down to swerve around. They move more like animals than people, and chase after your vehicle as you pass.

Three zombies are still clearly tailing you from a distance when you reach Rachel's building. From the street you can see the lobby doors are sprayed over, "USE FIRE ESCAPE"

Queue actions and roll 2d20 for any combat related actions.

Get out of the car and quickly get into the building. If you're quiet then most likely they'll ether get to the car then see you're not there and lose interest or run past because theyll be chasing the noise that echoed off your car.

You drive ahead and make a couple of turns around the block, looking for a distraction. While you're out of sight you pull up next to a parked car, get out, and hit it with a side kick that breaks off a mirror and causes an alarm. You get back in and speed away, heading back around to Rachel's building.

You quickly turn off the car and get out, heading around the side of the building to find the fire escape. A pair of chained and locked cellar doors is pounded from within as you run by, startling you. Above, a row of heads is peering over the edge of the roof as a pair of men hurry down the fire escape to lower the ladder. "Hang on!"

You hear a single pair of footsteps slapping loudly against the pavement, coming down the street. The ladder is down. "Let's go!"

I know it's been slow posting since yesterday, just wanted to check in. Writing for getting up there quickly.

>>2809679
They're pretty mobile from what you've seen. The ones you saw were running after your car.

>>2809874
I keep hoping you will but for now it seems we're avoiding contact.

You make your way onto the fire escape quickly and the two men, a Mexican and Asian, pull up the ladder before a single filthy hobo arrives in the alley. He's bloodstained, shirtless, and snarling at the three of you but unable to find a way up. You follow the men up to the rooftop.

The rooftop here has been converted into a garden, complete with greenhouse, tiny shed, chicken coop, and various tools strewn about. A stairwell entrance leads into the building itself. A leathery old Mexican in a Hawaiian shirt shows the courtesy not to point his shotgun at you, though he is giving you a very wary look. "I'm here to see my cousin, Rachel."

"Si," he nods. "Hijo, check for bites." Before they let you downstairs, you're asked to strip so the old man can check for bites. Once he's satisfied, his son leads you down to Rachel's. "Sorry about that," he says apologetically. "Things got out of control in here when it started, but it's safe now, and we plan on keeping things that way."

Your cousin embraces you at the door and you join her in her crummy studio apartment for a moment. "I'm glad you're here, Ted." She's actually crying, more of a reaction than you expected from a cousin you haven't seen in seven years.

"Uh, is everything alright?"

Her boyfriend Freddie is one of them, he got it trying to help old Mr. Park when he went crazy. Now he's in the cellar with the rest of them.

"The world is going crazy, what the hell are we going to do, Ted?" Rachel joins your group.

(You have a group now. The more people you have following you, the faster you can get things done, the more you can accomplish, and the more zombies you can fight without things getting out of hand. You'll have to manage their needs and loyalty or a former trusted ally can abandon or even betray you for their own survival.)

"We're getting out of here. There are some things we need to pick up at the shopping center, and then we're heading out of the city."

"What? Where are we gonna go? Where are we gonna sleep?"

"We'll find something once we're out there, a farmhouse or small town or something. One thing at a time. Pack anything you'll need for a few days."

"Alright, but can you help me with something first?" She starts rummaging around, filling a purse and backpack with things she needs.

"What?"

The building's residents have managed to contain their dead and infected in the basement, locked firmly with padlocks and chains. They believe the afflicted can be cured and are hoping to wait until the government has the situation back under control. Rachel's boyfriend was one of those who helped secure the infected in the cellar, and quarantined himself with the others in the maintenance room. Before she leaves, she wants to say goodbye and put Freddie out of his misery. The other residents may not be ok with the idea of killing him while there's a chance he'll be ok.

You head up to the manager's home on the 4th floor and explain the situation to him. His Mexican wife starts getting all Christian and moral about it in her thick accent, appealing to all of you not to abandon these poor, afflicted people before we've even had a chance to try to save them. She accuses Rachel of not having loved him, to be able to abandon him so easily.

"That's enough!" the manager cuts in. He speaks to his wife in Spanish and she leaves the room. He hands you a set of keys. "Here, this one is for the chain, this unlocks the door. I understand you need to do what you need to with Freddie, but leave the others alone. My wife is right, we have to try to save them."

You and Rachel head down to the basement and unchain and unbolt the double fire doors. There's a small laundromat down here, and two other doors. Behind one, the bodies of those that had to be killed. You hear pounding and moaning from within this room. Behind the other are the three who were infected. You rack your pistol and get your knife out. "When he knew it was gonna happen to him, he said it was the only way." She opens the maintenance closet and jumps back with a yelp as a hogtied infected man falls out. There are three of them in there, sacks over their heads and gags keeping them somewhat quiet by the sound of it. They struggle against their bindings and writhe on the ground. The thought of this happening to you, to Mom, to everyone, crosses your mind. Rachel says her goodbyes and blows him a kiss. "Careful not to get any of the blood on you."

You walk right over and push his head against the ground, just like in that comic you read. He struggles a bit and you step on his back to keep him still as you plunge your huge knife under the base of his skull. Freddie gives one final, violent jerk and Rachel turns away. She's not in much of a talking mood as the two of you leave the building.

As you climb quietly down into the alley, you notice the sun is setting and the buildings are casting long shadows. You check that there aren't any of them around before making a dash to the car. Someone is blasting loud club music out of their window as you peel away.

On your way, you hear more radio news.

What is being described as a herd of people is moving quickly along the highway outside of town. Anyone stuck in traffic is advised now to take their cars off road, help clear traffic however they can, and run for their lives.

You reach the shopping plaza you had in mind, a long strip of stores near a highway entrance. There are quite a few cars in the parking lots, some parked haphazardly. People are rolling carts in and out of some open stores while others are shuttered. There are a few thuggish people out here smoking and drinking. You can see a couple of police cars pulled right up in front of the Walmart.

There's a Home Depot here, a sporting goods store, a Walmart, a Target, a RadioShack, a food court and some fast food restaurants, a bank, a movie theater, a jewelry store, and a small bookstore. There could also be some other stuff here you missed.

>(I'll let you guys put together a shopping list of sorts here, you can be as specific about it as you want. Bear in mind the capacity of your vehicle and what you could carry, how long things would take, which stores you'd have to visit. Be creative and plan ahead.)

You're already thinking of acquiring... motorcycle armor, welding gear, roofing hatchet.

>>2811577
Honestly that shopping list basically covers it. Maybe some rope too.

>>2811577
Walmart should be stocked with ammo, but that will be the first thing people would go for.

I'm thinking camping supplies, flint & steel, Camp stove, tent, fuel for camp stove, knives for different uses, flying pan/pot to boil water, map.

All camping supplies can be found in Walmart, put all the shit in a cart. While welding gear and other things will be in Home Depot.

I also want to hit up RadioShack for the handpowered radio/flashlight.

You jot her a list of things to keep an eye out for. "We'll split up and meet back here... at the top of the hour, with everything we can find." You draw your pistol and hand it to her. "It's dangerous to go alone, take this." Heh.

"Um, alright," she says, taking hold of the gun like it might bite her and carefully putting it in an inside pocket. "So this great survival plan of yours starts with us looting, yeah? We're looters now."

"Yeah. Keep your eyes and ears peeled and don't take any risks for this stuff. Get back safe with what you can fit on a flatbed. Call me if anything happens, if you see any of them, I'll bring the car around." You think... "I'll hit Home Depot and the sporting goods store. You hit Walmart."

We should get fishing rods and supplies at the sporting store. Also crossbow or some guns from the sporting goods

toilet paper.
people forget about toilet paper

Few cases of bottled beer. We can keep the bottles and make molotov cocktails if things get ugly.

>>2812294
Why dont we get bottles of whiskey instead that way it has a medical use and a molotov use in one

>>2812382
For molotovs you use gas, rather than waste a strong liquor that can be used for drinking/cleaning

>>2811982
how about clothes?
dont we need a couple of change for rainy days?
also a pair of shoes more just in case

>>2812628
I think in the sporting goods place there is a shoe/boot section. We could get a few boxes in our sizes since we don't have time to try them

You are Ted Barrow.

You see Rachel off and head for the Home Depot. There's a shutter over one of the large entrances but the other is wide open and people are hauling out flatbeds of supplies. You grab one yourself and make your way down the aisles quickly, loading the things on your mental list. The shelves are already mostly raided but you manage to find just enough of what you need from here.

When you get to the generators, there's only a handful of opened and empty boxes tossed around the floor... wait! There's one left, a little gas fueled Generac good for camping trips. You load it onto your flatbed. "Hold it!" someone calls. You turn to see a burly man in a camping outfit complete with fishing vest and hat coming at you at a fast walk. "I saw that first, it's mine!" He has a wild look in his eyes, and points at you with a medium sized spanner. Behind him around the end of the aisle, you see a woman holding a boy close, both pairs of wide eyes watching you and the approaching man. The fucking cunts. They're going to watch while this happens.


Queue actions. If you declare an attack, clarify which weapon and where you're aiming to strike. You have things on your cart such as roofing hatchet, chainsaw (not fueld) and a nice axe, and hand to hand stuff is also always an option. Roll 2d20 no matter what.

Sorry but... his wife and kid are watching. He has more to protect besides his own hide. Besides, what's a generator for? (besides the obvious) it's not like we will need to turn the messy thing on to charge up our phone and browse post apocaliptic 4chan.

Let the man get his generator and so be it. Or ask him for a trade

Best OP. Telling us if you'll alive or not, helps out wonders for anons.

Sorry guys, got home late, no update tonight but I'll figure out what happens next and write it tomorrow afternoon.

>>2813588

You pick the axe up from your flatbed and stand firm. "Now hold on a second. Think about it. You can try to take it, but if you're hurt who's going to protect your family? Both of us want to walk out of this store. We still can." Shit, that did not sound as confident as you wanted it to.

The man stops in his tracks. Looks at the axe in your hand, licks his lips nervously. Looks back to his wife and son, who simply stand back watching. Stares back at you bug eyed, sizing you up. "Fuck you!" he shouts. He turns around and heads back to his family, and argues loudly with his wife as they leave. You load your generator and push your flatbed out of the store. As you leave you note that there's plenty of building and home improvement materials still available here.

You've got everything you wanted from here. Considering you need to leave room in the car for Rachel's half of the list, you looted...

>4 cords of really tightly wound poly rope (400 ft)
>small generator
>30 ft extension cable
>shovel/pick/saw entrenching multitool
>8 rolls duct tape
>welding gloves w/ sleeves, mask, wire, equipment
>roofing hatchet
>splitting axe
>chainsaw
>2 5-gallon gas cans, hoses for siphoning

Looking over it on your cart you realize that with the food and water you already packed from your apartment, it's gonna be a tight fit in your little sedan... your trunk is packed now, and you're starting to fill your back seats. It's 20 minutes to the top of the hour.

You continue on into the sporting goods store, ditching your flatbed for a smaller plastic cart. A shattered window gives you access to the dark store interior. You're on edge as you look around the ransacked store for what you need, as well as potential dangers.

The gun racks and display cases are completely empty, as are the shelves that should be holding ammo. You don't know much about fishing or hunting but you quickly grab a telescoping fishing pole, a compound crossbow, and a couple 12 packs of steel tipped bolts. And then you spend a moment looking over sets of motorcycle body armor and helmets. Oh hell yeah... You toss in a womens' medium sized jacket and hope it fits Rachel.

When you get back outside with your small cartful of acquisitions, you notice a commotion. There are way more people out here than before, people of all kinds, not just the young and fit but entire families, women and children, old people, moving like a loose mob in the same direction across the parking lot as fast as they can. Panicked shouts and screaming drown each other out. You hear the squeal of tires and see the cop cars peeling away from the Walmart.

You head for the car, weaving your cart through the mob. You hear a loud series of dull thuds to your left, followed by a crescendo of screams as you turn to see a pickup truck plowing straight through the crowd on its way out. Holy fuck. You reach your car and start tossing your shit into the backseat.

You get into the driver's seat but before you can pull out, a woman with a wild look in her eye slams herself against the trunk of your car, and shouts hoarsely, "Wait! Please take me with you!" She's sweating and breathing hard.

"Let go! Get out of the way!" You have to find Rachel. The woman clings stubbornly to your car, standing in your way, refusing to move, and sobbing from desperation. "I can't go any further!" Others passing by have noticed and in your windshield and every one of your mirrors you can see them approaching, running toward your car.

OP is she hot? 1 out of 10? Also it seems she been running from them so I think she's not bite so far. Running her over, would give us more penalties and I feel it would waste more time then save.

>>Honk your horn, but go faster than slow enough

>>2816903
Not that it's the first thing on your mind right now, but if you were inclined to rate her you'd probably give her a solid 5. She's around your age or a little older and looks like she's had kids.

>>2817712
Just let her in and shoot her if she's a worthless cunt.
I already voted just giving my take

>>2817712
drive through the crowd slowly 15-25 mph so as to not hit someone and have them break the windshield

if we get the chance to come back here, or go to another home depot, getting a welding jacket should be a priority. They're hot af during the summer, but they would be impossible to bite through

if there's a high school with a metal shop, they'd probably have a dozen or more. Hopefully we grew up in the area and know if there are any nearby

>>2818124
Break the tie anon

>>2817712
>Get the fuck in, lady
we're still human and she's an extra body to throw at the horde if need be. Saving people shouldn't be our focus, but having a small group would make us a lot more likely to survive

It looks like it's still tied to me, I'll leave the choice up I guess unless you guys want to roll a d2 for it. How are you guys enjoying the quest so far? I know it's been slow going.

>>2818212
Op the tie seems broken with this anon >>2818199
Unless my counting sucks ass

>>2817669
Supporting. I mean, she's gonna be bit almost definitely. Fuck that noise

"Lady, let go of the fucking car!"

"Nooo!" she wails.

Your car easily overpowers the exhausted woman and she screams as she's forced under the trunk. You hear a crunch and feel the bumps as your wheels roll over something. Holy FUCK. Outside you see the men and women who were converging on your car just a second ago back away like an electrified human wave. You drive for the storefronts, honking your horn as people dive out of your way. "Move it, out of the way!" With one hand you dial Rachel. "Come on... pick up..."

"Ted, what's going on out there? Are you alright?"

"Where are you? Get out quick with what you have, we're going now."

"I'll be in front of Walmart, I couldn't get everything-"

You toss your phone aside and pull up at the front of the Walmart. She spots you and rolls out her flatbed, you crack the window just enough to yell, "Toss it all in the backseats, let's go!" In the agonizing minute it takes her to load her loot, you keep a watch out for anyone trying anything. You look back for any sign of the woman who jumped on your car, but you can't see past the people streaming by. As soon as Rachel's in you lock the doors and drive, keeping a palm on the horn and making your way through more people.

"Holy fuck it's them!" You're too focused on getting back on the street to look. "Oh fuck there's so many, Jesus Christ!" You're on the street and clear of most of the fleeing crowd. You drive up the street and speed through three blocks, pass through a police checkpoint at 60 and keep going. A pickup truck nearly hits you from the right but it brakes in time.

"Jesus fuck, Ted, slow down. Where are we going?"

You look down at your gas, it's 3/8.


Alright, you guys have the wheel. Decide where to go, you need a safe place to prepare your food and eventually sleep, even if it is in the car. You can queue destinations.

>Back to Rachel's building.
>Back to your apartment.
>To the college safe zone.
>To Fort Rogers out in the desert.
>To a gas station.
>Write in. (You can look at google maps for inspiration and anything you can find is fair game to me. Or whatever idea you have to ride out the apocalypse. You figure you can go for at least a week on the food you have.)

You're in a network of cities, with mountains or desert between and further out. The highways connect you to other places and they may be jammed.

>>2818656
>>2818685
You can figure this out by talking to others who have encountered them, gradually by following the news, and by firsthand experience. From what you know now, anyone who dies rises to attack the living, and those who come into close contact with the undead become infected. The ones you've seen can run.

>>2818710
Oh boy. First cousin. 26.
"We're gonna get some gas first. Find us a station outside the city." You have the 2 5-gallon cans you looted, and your tank needs filling.

A helicopter passes overhead, then another. A tank and several deuces full of soldiers go by. You see emergency vehicles going in every direction on your way to the gas station. There are several times you have to find another route around a traffic jam. You pass through a large block party of people dressed to rave, with fireworks, smoke and booming music.

The local airport is under quarantine.
The Mexican border is overrun.
Scientists at the CDC are well underway on research for a cure for the infected.

It's some time before you arrive at a quiet gas station that still has lights on. You're at a quarter tank. You don't see anyone at the counter of the convenience store, at least from out here.

The lights are on so it might be occupied. If undead, quietly fill your tanks up, and if there's two or less inside, take them out with stealthy stabs to the back of the neck/skull with a knife before looting. If human... have Rachel cover you from a hidden position while you attempt to sneak out their fuel from under them. Best avoid any confrontation. If it's empty then go in and loot.

>>2818916
What if the place is empty? Since people can hightail out of there once the news came on about the zombie spreading.
But anyway I agree with this plan of action.

You pull up along the street quietly and motion for her to get out of the car. The two of you approach on foot with the gas cans and take a look through the convenience store windows from afar. You don't see anyone inside... yet.

"Gimme my gun. Start filling up the tanks, I don't have a card. I'm gonna go check out the store, make sure it's empty."

As she fills the tanks up you get closer to the store and hear a dull thumping noise. The hairs on your neck stand up. You look in.

You see a fat convenience store clerk pounding on the men's restroom door in the corner of the room. You draw your knife, open the door slowly and noiselessly, and creep inside.

You shut the door silently and move in. But you've only taken a few steps toward the fat man when he spins on the spot, sniffing the air. Then he locks eyes with you, bares his teeth, and snarls.

Combat begins. (You have initiative. You have your gun and knife on you. Every round is 5 seconds, everyone acts before the next round begins.)

First, I need one 2d20 resolve check against fear, I'll use the higher number.

Then you guys get up to 7 1d10 rolls. 8 or better gets a headshot unless fear affects you.


Fuck, I'm realizing I don't have a good, timely way to do turn based combat without it bogging down the whole quest. For 1st thread I'm just going to have a simple roll to resolve combat and I'll think about how to run combat between threads. I'll ask for feedback once we conclude 1st thread on how you guys would like to see combat done, for now I'm just gonna try something.

Your gun is in hand and your attention is squarely on him as he turns to face you. The store interior is well lit and at this range it's no wonder that you simply line it up and pop a shot between his eyes. He only barely begins to move before the bullet carves a path through his brain, and an animalistic hiss barely escapes his throat before he lurches forward onto the tile with a loud smack.

"Oh my God, is someone out there?" You hear a voice from inside the bathroom, and point your gun as the door unlocks and a lanky black teenager comes out. He's wearing a turquoise hoodie, jeans and glasses, and looks intimidated by your appearance and weapons. There's a dark bloodstain on his sleeve. "Woah, don't shoot. Holy shit thank you so much dude, I thought I was gonna die in there."

Rachel arrives, axe in hand. "Everything alright?"

You look down at the dead zombie, blood pooling around its head. "Yeah, we're good here."

"Oh yeah, I just... I was... aw fuck it. That fuckin' dude bit me when I came in for gas, chased me in there. I washed it out good, I've been keepin pressure. I feel fine, I promise. I promise." He doesn't show any apparent symptoms other than some sweating, but it could just be sweat.

"Show me." He gingerly peels back the sleeve, and shows you the wound. It's a nasty looking wound with dark, coagulated blood.

"Rachel, finish filling the tanks and bring the car up." You grab yourself a sixpack of V8s from the fridge for the road, cracking one open and chugging the cool tomato juice down. That hits the spot. You check behind the counter, plenty of stuff back here, you grab a fistful of tylenols and advils and shove them in your pockets.

"Ok kid, unless you wanna end up like that guy, we have to do something about that," you say matter of factly, pointing at his arm. "You could amputate your arm, cut it off right up here," you show him your knife. "We could help you with that if you want. Or you could kill yourself with this," you hold up the gun.

"I ain't about that, man," he says, shaking his head. "I don't wanna die." He grimaces at the thought of what he has to go through. "Look, can't I just... take some antibiotics? Get to a hospital when this is all over?"

Ask him how long he was trapped in there. Check with our cousin how long it took for her boyfriend to turn.

>>2820482
This feels like Fallout in that once you get certain information you don't even have to pass a speech check because you have the needed information to just convince someone to do it unless they just absolutely wont.

>>2820482
The kid says he's been in there about an hour. You ask Rachel how long it took the infected in her building to turn, she says the first one turned in a few minutes, she isn't sure how long it took the men who quarantined themselves to turn.

>>2820353
>>Shoot him in the head.

Just a thought. But this guy is currently a random kid who hasn't done shit to us. And you wanna shoot him? The lady made sense, there were time constraints and she could've been psycho, while meanwhile this dude hasn't done anything.

>>2820517
Wtf hes ether immune or highly resistant ether way amputation is out of the question at this point.
I'd just let him be then hes just gonna be one of a million dead bois and killing him isn't gonna do anything but make you an asshole and honestly if he wants to come with let him it would be interesting as fuck if he didnt turn.

>>2820541
Also to add an easy way to know if hes gonna turn anyways is to see if his bite keeps bleeding for an excessive amount of time that shows the body is fighting infection and trying to flush it out if hes immune then it will stop pussing after a while if we clean it good.

>>2820541
I don't think we got an exact time for turning, and chances are that he's currently undergoing the process - cutting his arm off is one way to ensure his survival. Anyways, thus far zombie genre's have (with few exceptions) a one hundred percent chance of infecting another. Ain't no way out, so it's this or he dies. tl;dr

I don't know why y'all have such faith for cutting the wounded arm and all.

If you are thinking of the walking dead, those amputations were done minutes past the bite, whereas the boy was bitten long ago. good comic...

>>2820403
>>2820482
>>2820541
You're not sure if he would make it at this point even if you managed to stop the bleeding from a clean amputation. Maybe it's already hopeless, maybe he will be ok, you just don't know. "Well, good luck, kid. There are some meds behind the counter you can try."

"Thanks for taking care of that guy, anyway," he says, motioning at the corpse. "I just gotta get home. Just gotta get home and get this cleaned up better. Maybe get something to eat, get my energy up."

Outside, Rachel has brought up the car and filled up the tank. You've got a full tank and 10 gallons spare. You pass her an ice cold V8. "Ugh, you couldn't have grabbed some beers?"


Where to now? You still need a safe place to prepare food, eat and sleep for the night, even if it is in the car. You've heard of several safe places, but perhaps you have your own ideas.

>Back to Rachel's building.
>Back to your apartment.
>To the college safe zone.
>To Fort Rogers out in the desert.
>Look for a... (you have an atlas and can look for pretty much any kind of building or site.)
>Write in. (You can look at google maps for inspiration and anything you can find is fair game to me. Or whatever idea you have to ride out the apocalypse.)

>>2820645
Best solution we got and we don't know how fast the infection travels. May as well find out if he can live. Besides, if he still turns then he's only got one arm anyways.

That's odd, I thought shooting him won, or at least all three were still tied. Did I miscount?

Excuse me Rachel drinking beer in a situation that as of right now you would probably benefit from being sober and alert in shame on you girl

>>2820685
I apologize I'm sure a beer would be a great way to calm down I just didn't expect that kind of response from her

>>2820661
I'll leave this vote open for a while because it's going to shape how the thread ends (there will be some more updates but this is basically you getting to where you want to spend the first few days of the apocalypse).

>>2820678
I have 2 for amputation, 3 for let him be, 2 for shoot him.

>>2820353
>Let him go, maybe he'll be ok.
He's honestly not our problem. Amputating takes time that we don't have and shooting him wastes a bullet we don't want to waste. We got him out of the storage closet and that's about the best we can do for him without putting ourselves in a shit situation.

>>2820661
>To the college safe zone.

>>2820661
So, suburbs or the city or... places... if we play it safe we may go to the fort ot someplace out in the woods but what are the chances of enlarging the group. Very bad survival being only two, if you ask me.

I wonder... What if we make a "supply base" with most of our supplies, hidden some miles off the highway that leads to fort rogers and then go to the college safe zone so check for news and look at potential companions we can recruit?

So far I think the two scenarios that may play out is 1.- Goverment anihilation, classical setting or 2.- The last of Us, where the goverment at least tries.

>>2820661
lets go to the desert, no one else will be there meaning relatively few zombies will be there as well, it'll just take awhile to get there and be resource sparse when we do, but it'll be safer than other geographical locations

>>2820775
oops I'm an idjit

>>2820661
>Look for a... (small rural town)
Smaller town means less infected running around and more secluded + abandoned homes to potentially occupy. Open space makes incoming threats easier to spot and farmland will provide you with vegetables and stuff.
Desert presents the same advantages but it's the desert which makes sustainable living difficult.
Maybe hit the desert base on the way to a rural town would be my inclination.

>>2820805

Maybe a small rural town far away from the main roads

Let's keep our radio on to see if we can hear what's happening to the safe zone.

This isn't a final count, just giving more information and clarifying things. The decision on where to head is still open.

>>2820938
>>2820813
>>2820805
You look over the atlas and realize that the entire area is very densely settled, with scant pockets of uninhabited land between tightly packed urban and suburban areas.

The closest thing to rural out here is heading up into the mountains, where fewer people live but towns are still common along the foothills. You could head up to one of those towns or maybe even find some rich guy's empty house in the hills.

There is an eventual end to the sprawling cityscape, but escaping tonight would require either an open highway, or finding a means of flying out. Otherwise you'll be making a series of potentially dangerous trips through the streets (in which case you're back to needing a place to eat and sleep).

Just looking at the map makes you nervous. That's a lot of goddamn zombies waiting to happen. (Pic unrelated to the quest, just wanted to show the density)

>>2821080
That may be important. She managed to get an 8 pack of toilet paper, some extra jackets and clothes, a first aid kit, propane stove and canisters, cookpot, sleeping bags, and a small tent.

>>2821156
So making it all in one day is out of the question.
>Look for a... library
A library would be a good place to rest if it has two or three story. Noone would go there, and it's mostly empty when there no zombie outbreak.
We could go to a high school, since it has that welding jackets that anon said
I don't want to go to the college since it's jam packed full of people, that can either loot our stuff, or breakout waiting to happen.
So go a library or high school whichever is closer

>>2821186
This

>>2820668
Depends if its by a blood infection or more like necrosis. If its a blood infection tier your fucked no matter what. Blood pumps too fast. If its more like necrosis then just removing the infected flesh and leaving the healthy tissue is enough.

Seeing as how corpses are being reanimated shit ain't looking good though. On the plus side at least it's not a fucking mutagen.

>>2821186
Library sounds good; supporting

>>2821492
It is true that we don't know how Op's zombie infection works

>>2821156
Hey QM can you list what we got when we reach the library or what have you.

>>2821186
If the school has the buses on site as well, we could turn one into a mobile fort. Replace the door with a steel plate, then black out the side windows. We could rig up some covers for the front and back, so the zombies cant see in. We don't really know if they use sight, but it can't really hurt.

If we get enough people(20 or so), we could turn four buses into mobile forts and travel as a caravan. Tear out most of the seating for storage and living space, then hit the road. Parking them in a square would make a solid wall for us to use for cooking or other things. Gas would be a big problem, but we'd have a mobile fort, which would be fun

>>2821186
Supporting this.

Plus let’s talk to Rachel to asses her strengths and mental fortitude. How is she feeling, has she shot a gun before, etc

>>2821938
op let us choose who we wanted to play as in a situation which in my opinion hints to Rachel having the ability to hold her own

Hey guys, feeling really ill today but I'll try to continue once its passed, my insides are just killing me.

In the meantime if we can get some 1d20s I'll use best of 3 for the trip to the high school.

Alright, actually here's how we'll do this. We've already spent a lot of time considering where to go but I'll make this a quick one, first to three votes.

Damn. For a minute, the two of you look over the atlas and check highway traffic reports, trying to determine a route that can get you out of the cities tonight. But the major highways are jamming up, and getting out of dodge seems impossible for those without a flying transport, at least during this mass panic.

"Change of plans, we need a place to hunker down for awhile."

"Why not the safe zone?"

"They call it that but it'll be a refugee camp. Too many people show up and the whole thing'll boil over. It's no good for staying."

"Ok then, where to?"

You look around the area and think... the government does have a decent idea in setting up on a campus. Strong buildings, resources on site, fences and maybe even shelters... but such a place will draw attention and will take more than just the two of you to secure properly. Maybe this isn't the time for that, and you want a quieter place you can secure and lie low in for awhile. You've got enough food and water for at least a week if it's just the two of you.


You find two potentially good locations and decide on...

>East Glendale High School (lots of potential resources and space, many buildings to secure, high profile, fences)
>Glendale Public Library (2 story brick library and community center, low resources, easier to secure and fortify, low profile)

>>2822854
>Glendale Public Library (2 story brick library and community center, low resources, easier to secure and fortify, low profile)
This close to the initial panic it's probably better to lie low while people fight it out for high profile locations. Especially if we don't want to be involved in it.

You decide that it's more important to avoid large populations for now and lie low. The library shouldn't be on many peoples' minds and the two of you should be able to secure it and lock it down.

A doctor and scientist is on the radio, claiming that an alien menace from beyond the galaxy has deployed a biological weapon against humanity.
A large wildfire has broken out in the mountain ranges to the north, firefighting units are struggling to contain the situation.

In the distance, you can hear the sounds of a military engagement. Machine gun fire, faint explosions, and the occasional line of tracers visible against the night sky.

On your way through the streets, you see man on the sidewalk wearing a sign that reads, "THE END IS NIGH, REPENT." Passing closer you see he's already a zombie.

As you pass a residential area, a trio of zombies leaps out at your car and one smashes into your hood. Its skull bounces off your windshield and causes a spiderweb of cracks along it. Shit.

You arrive at the parking lot of the public library, an old two story brick building with some modern renovations on the inside. There's no light visible from within and the first floor windows and doors look intact. You pull into the empty parking lot as quietly as you can, but two zombies are still following you.
