The priest doesn't actually know what he's doing, by the way: we just wanted to make sure
someone went around the back of the house before the squealy person dies a terrible, terrible death, crow distraction notwithstanding.
Since this game is still semi-hibernating and there can be a loooong time between posts, I thought I'd sweep together the PCs' current intelligence here for reference to save forgetting.
Milburn's story:
- ruckus started up outside on the ranch
- survivors holed up in the house tried to rescue any still alive in the bunkhouse, then barricaded themselves more thoroughly
- Arthur Whateley introduced vampires to the house
- Milburn fled and recieved a (fatal) head injury on the way out
- Milburn 'woke up' to find Vinny having killed the ranch dogs and threatening all and sundry outside, and 'something bad' in the barn, and hid until the posse arrived and he thought it safe to try and reach them/better shelter.
Evans' Info (shared thus far):
- 'aetheric manipulation' was used to raise the Exposition Pony
- Exposition Pony had contact with vampires
- Milburn is a vampire
Jake's Info (shared thus far):
- these vampires can walk up walls!
- theorised low rate of survival
John's Info: upstairs is apparently barricaded like someone was expecting to be shot at, but lights remain lit up there.
The Exposition Pony's info (gathered and shared by William and Adrian):
- (un)dead when attacked
- cut throat (unlike the dogs, who were claw-slashed)
- moving away from the ranch
- present when a zombie dog was shot from above
