Day 1

Day 2

Day 4

I have survived the night and will now try to meet up with the others. Of course there is a huge mob of Zombies on the streets... actually it seems like their number has nearly tripled. I don't know what's going on here or where they come from, all I know is that I don't stand a chance alone. So... What should I do?

  1. I could stick to the main roads, which would get me back faster, but may also expose me to more Zombies.
  2. I can sneak through the back alleys. This will take a lot of time, but I may encounter less resistance that way.
  3. We're in an urban area, so I could try mostly moving through buildings. I'm not quite sure who has the advantage in that case, me or the Zombies. This would be more Travis' area of expertise, but I can try.
  4. Of course I could always just stay put and have my three friends come get me. The problem with that is that I'm not entirely sure where I am right now.

Just as a reminder, my current inventory: Small hatchet, tape, mobile phone (getting a signal takes ages, but is possible), key ring (I amfar away from my car, but the Kubotan is nice in a pinch and I still have the other keys, too), set of lockpicks.

Try the sneaky way through back alleys. Going through the buildings is too risky.

Move through the buildings. If you get caught by the zombies in one of the buildings, you can likely find something around you to use as a weapon, and you may find some other things that will be of more use to you than the items you already have.
You could also try to get in contact with the others as soon as you know where you are, and try to have them meet you half way.

Zombies most likely would be trapped in buildings and take you by surprise so I wouldn't do it without Travis. Main roads most likely leave you totally exposed and you can't just wait and hope, so I say back alleys.

Currently making my way through the back alleys. Very few Zombies and those that are there are mostly avoidable. I'll post again when I'm with the others.

Establish communication, through a landline and back alleys ofcourse.

Shit. It suddenly got quiet. Usually I'd say that is good, but the constant sizzling of Clansman's deathtrap stopped, too. It's not just the trap though, we don't seem to have any electricity at all. It's not just this house, must be at least the whole street without power. I can see several neon signs that went dark now.

Uh-Oh, the door lock is electrical too. Seriously, who thinks that's something that really needs to be electrical? The old-fashioned locks work so well.
The zombies don't seem to have noticed that the trap is out yet, but there are several around the front door, and it really is just a matter of time till they stumble through our now non-existent defenses.

We have some options now, please tell us what to do:

  1. Stay in the house. Without electricity for the death traps and lock the position isn't very secure. But it's where OGrady will expect to find us.
  2. Try to make it to the university. Travis could find us a save way to it, and OGrady has the key for it, so we'd need to meet up with him. The Uni has it's own generators, and most likely a lot of useful stuff lying around. It's a very defensible position but it's a pretty open area and we might have trouble leaving again as the outbreak spreads.
  3. Try one of the other houses around us. We'd need to break in and build a barricade, since we have no lock picks. We also have no idea what to expect inside. But again, we could keep a lookout for OGrady.
  4. Camp outside. We would be very mobile and could try to evade the zombies. Travis can find us several temporary shelters and safe places and we'd be able to travel fast.

We'll need some time to organizes and pack our supplies, should we need to leave in a hurry. Give us one hour or so

Break into another house. OR try to see whatever barricade you can make inside that home. If not, go for the other.

break to other house, but be sure to check it's safe first like peeking or something

Back alleys for sure, you could probably find a few metal pipes or weapons laying around.

So, we got our stuff packed as well as enough water and food to get by for a while, and Travis is sober again an seems well enough right now. It took a bit longer to convince Clansman he can not bring his whole collection of PCs and other electronic devices. He's sulking now, but ready to go.
You told us to break into an house nearby, so we'll head out now looking for a suitable location to try our breaking and entering skills. We will report back once we are barricaded and settled in.

Try back alleys, in buildings you can find large group of zombies, they can cut your way out and it's also hard do run.

Dont go the Main Road ! you will die there, go through the back valleys and hint before the zombies, and crawl to the safe zone

You know what, guys?
Zombie Apocalypses suck.
I know, I know.... sounds like fun. But it's really just a lot of running around, being injured and hiding. Like right now.

I made it back with only a few scratches and some bruised ribs, just to find out that nobody was home anymore. Of course you guys knew they were just a few houses away... I didn't. Scared the shit out of me. But the worst, the very WORST thing was when Clansman carefully poked his head through an upper story windows three houses over and shouted "We're here, O'Grady!".
Dammit, Clansman.
I had a good thing going there, being all stealthy and hiding in the bushes, until Clansman ruined it. A short sprint and a vault over a makeshift barricade later I was back with the others (yay!), hiding from the assload of Zombies Clansman had attracted (boo!). And of course it gets worse: No electricity. Well, we could deal with that, but there's also no pressure on the water pipes. So.... here we are. Cold, no water, no electricity and I haven't eaten all day. We'll have some food and figure out what to do now.

You should check the new house for food & supplies, then try to make it to the university, now that you're all together.

Now is the time to go to the university. Your group is the strongest now so it's the best time to make the journey. The uni has electricity for defence, supplies to keep alive for a very long time, and medical supplies and labs to give you the best shot of curing Travis. Go go go!

In the past two days, have you learned how zombies react to fire? I suppose it's getting dark, so you may need at least some campfire, when the electricity is out. There should be some matches or a lighter in the house.

Stick to the main road. You'll see the zombies coming that way, and have plenty of room to shoot. Back allies will restrict travis and his weapons, and zombies could pop out from corners. This could also happen in buildings. Also, your friends might die trying to find you.

Scavenge the house and leave first light you see in the morning. Get a good amount of rest and eat as much as you want, the University for sure will have a good supply of rations.
