I's gots me a 16 I did. Now lets all turn into Zombies and start thee Apocolypse.

Lotta zombie action for me lately - been playing Fallout 4 on my Xbox, this very scene happens repeatedly in that game. They call their zombies 'ghouls.' Walking Dead just started up again too....and now THIS!

My son's been playing Fallout 4 as well. And he loves TWD. So I know a bit about this stuff.

God I'm old.

I appreciate everybody responding pretty quickly to the text prompts, trying to gain a little momentum here.

Also, I added a thread called "For your convenience" that is designed to contain some of the more frequently needed resources here on the site, sparing everybody the need to go look stuff up in books you may have lost track of.  If you can think of other resources that might be handy to have access to here, let me know and I'll see about getting them added.

I kicked it off with Combat Maneuvers then added one about Combat Actions and Hero Points.

Humble apologies all, for the delay.

I'm only doing a move action, so assuming no rolls required, but let me know if you want anything out of me.

Made a correction on my post. Was tired when I first wrote it.

Read the combat maneuvers post today. Do I understand correctly - you can call shot locations as long as that part is 'usually within reach?' If that's the case, for my last post I call a headshot - kersplat! Zombie brains for all.

"Choose Location" is a Combat Manuever which is earned when you have one or more success levels between your roll and the opponent's roll.

Refresher on earning Combat Manuevers with an example:

    YOU -Skill 50                  OPPONENT- Skill 45
Rolled 46 = Success          Rolled 39 = Success    You win because your success was higher
Rolled 46 = Success          Rolled 47 = Fail            You earn a success level
Rolled 05 = Critical            Rolled 47 = Fail             You earn two success levels
Rolled 05 = Critical            Rolled 97 = Fumble       You earn three success levels

As it happens, the zombie failed it's attempt to parry and thus Gavin earns one success level since he rolled a success.  You have stated your chosen Combat Manuever, I will resolve in my next post.

Combat order has been updated in the Combat Thread for Round 2; I just edited the last post therefore it won't flag as a new message.

Kat is up first followed by Gavbot and Dr. Hyde.

Sorry for the delay, Kat tried some new shit and I had research to do.  Expect texts!

I edited my last post, changed some wording and shit.

Free play.  Go when you feel like it, texts going out post haste.

In case anyone read it already, my last post has been updated.

Sorry guys post away I'm on vacation for another week.
I don't understand your last post Daenus.

I don't understand what you don't understand.

Did you speed-read?

So I got 20. You said 'over' 20. Does that mean I'm frozen in fear? If so....makes sense.

Nope, you can go ahead and take your action.  You're certainly free to be frozen with fear, of course.

In reply to Chakan (msg # 760):

Ok. What are we going to do here?

And I want to make sure I understand what is happening

The was a death cloud of roiling zombies. Now the cloud is gone. And the zombies are make a b line to us.

About how many zombies3-5, 5-10, more
And they are running down a hallway at us.
Are we cornered or do we space and doors behind us? Stairwell ? Up and down?

Great questions.  Inspired a new thread which you all should now see called "Game Questions."

This will be a thread for situations just like this; you have questions about logistics, the world, general knowledge, etc.  That way we can continue to use the OOC for generic whatever and helps separate out the stuff that's pertinent to the game.

Thanks for being my muse, Dook!

Thanks, that thread helped a lot, my plan is to head back the way we came (up).

In reply to Gavin Bonnar (msg # 763):

ok, that helps a lot, and sorry all for the question typos.  I typed that up on my phone and well you all know that auto correct doesn't typically correct shit.

Ok, under 20's can go now- pretty much leaves Gavin and Kat, in that order.  Kat appears to be hanging back, waiting until everybody gets into the stairwell.  (that's a comment to her uber shitty Strike Rank roll)

Nice Kat. If that works it'll be huge. Cool idea.

Thanks, Daylin!  Fingers crossed.  Had to use a hero point after my first horrendous roll...  :)

As far as gear were we given any explosives.
The lab looked pretty trashed. So if we are tondestroy vermillion I am assuming that is the project vermillion

And it looked pretty thrashed already. We have the info, hardrives etc. , and the doctor that runs it. That makes it pretty much toast.
