[Skunk_Giant]

Alright, I'm putting up a small intro for chapter one now.

[random980]

Who else saw the chapter summary and had this start playing in their heads?...:

well not me because, sadly, ive never played a FF game before, but if i had i probably would have.

aw chef i didnt know you cared.

Of course i dont care, i just knew you would remake the contraption so i decided to keep the zombies off both of us!

Also my end of chapter results come to:
Strength: 7
Stamina: 13
Speed: 6
Senses: 9

(is it possible for my character to always have the highest stamina?)

Chapter One

Last Time

Our heroes are introduced in their own ways, some coming from abandoned pubs, others from skyscraper roofs, but they're all drawn together at the mall. As Adder and David made a spectacular entrance at the mall in an attempt to rescue any survivors, the others escaped via the roof with help from Vallorn and his contraptions.
Unfortunately, in the madness, Chef Nom was attacked and bitten, losing a small part of his arm. David quickly gave him medical treatment to slow the infection, but this is only temporary and will leave Nom with little movement in his left arm.
Now our heroes must travel in search of a cure for Chef...

After the six had introduced themselves to each other, Adder began driving out of the city. They had been driving for a day now while David checked everyone for injuries. Besides Nom, everyone seemed fine.

The highways were dangerous, hell every road was dangerous now. They had left the city, which meant less hazards, but outside of the city, they were surrounded by nothing but forests, forests where zombies could hide.
Adder made sure they stayed on the road. If they ever pulled over, it'd be as close to the middle of the road as possible. If they ever were to stop or crash on the side, things could get ugly.
Unfortunately, on the second night, that's exactly what happened.

Adder was tired, and hadn't been watching the road, but neither had the other driver. When the spotlights finally blinded Adder, it was too late. In front of him was a small van going heading in their direction, also on the middle of the road. Black swerved in shock, spinning off the road and into the forest to the side. The bus rolled madly down a steep dirt hill, coming to a stop half buried in mud.
Adder jumped up and checked that everyone was alright, but was quickly tackled by Vallorn.
"Stay out of sight..." Vallorn whispered. The two were lying down the bus aisle.
Adder watched as everyone else hid under chairs, tables, anything in the bus that would keep them from the windows. It made sense, the zombies might not care if they thought the bus was empty. They weren't the brightest bunch, after all.

Moments passed like hours as the six tried not to breath. Then, a tap on the window. David looked up in horror to see a disfigured face pressed against the window, its eyes rolling up and down, searching for food, until it came to a stop on him.
Within seconds, hundreds of zombies were rocking the van, their screeches deafening. They couldn't break through the windows, but they could through the doors, which weren't boarded up as much.

All

a) Try to keep the door pushed back. (35 Strength)

b) Rush to the drivers seat. Get them out of there! (Adder or David Only)

c) Use one of the knives from the bus's kitchen area to keep zombies at bay. (2 Knife Skill)

d) Break the window and escape!

e) Create a contraption to keep the doors shut. (Mechanic & 10 Total Strength)

If you don't quite understand what I mean here, let me know.

[Skunk_Giant]

Also, guys, you can find your totals on the first page under your profiles.
Just in case you didn't realise.

[Skunk_Giant]

I've received two responses so far. Keep 'em coming.

[random980]

Shouldn't my character have a temporary loss of strength do to 1 arm not working?
And what happend to the 'brake' in the story
Also what eejjit was driving towards the city, made us crash and then DIDNT stop to help? I bet it was comet1

[Skunk_Giant]

lol, I suppose he should have a loss of strength... If you want, I can implement that. XD

As for the rest, I got bored.

The idiot driving will be more involved later on. I'll put the next thing up now.

[Sir_Luke]

I say we amputate Nom's arm in an effort to save him and keep the infection from spreading!

[vallorn]

I say we amputate Nom's arm in an effort to save him and keep the infection from spreading!

doesnt work like that. within about 5s the blood would have carried the infection out of his arm. within 1 min his entire body would be infected.

blood borne diseses are NASTY.

[Skunk_Giant]

Things might get a bit... ugly for some here.

Adder sprung into action, leaping back to the driver's seat and slamming his foot onto the pedal heroically... He received a groan from the bus, and nothing more.
Adder uttered a few words under his breath and jumped away from the windows, but it was too late, a zombie reached in from the front and pulled him back, smacking his face on the wheel (-10HP).
He reached for the kitchen behind him and tried to grab a knife, but instead got a spoon.
"GOD DAMNIT!" Adder cried, shoving the spoon into the zombies mouth and out the other side.

David lunged at the front door, the only one which was in danger of breaking. He pushed at it with all his strength, but knew it wouldn't be enough. He needed others to come help...

They were breaking through the doors, and the first idea would be to block the door, but Vall had other ideas. If he could get some help from someone, he could make a small contraption which increases the strength of the doors, making it impossible temporarily, for a zombie to break in.
He grabbed his ropes and began working madly. "I need some help over here, I'm not strong enough on my own!"

Luke helped David with the door, but it was no use, the zombies were braking through... They still needed more strength!

Chef and Sarge rushed over to Vallorn's aid, both helping. With their strengths combined, they could make the contraption, but not before the two at the door were thrown back, zombies crowding them (-15HP each). They quickly set the contraption in motion stopping any zombies from braking through.

The zombies were rocking the bus now, and the 6 were worried they'd break in any moment now, when suddenly... The same blinding light appeared, then another, and another!

From the sky too, blinding lights everywhere. Gunfire rang outside, the zombies screams in harmony with it, and within minutes, there was peace again. A knock on the door, an armed man was waiting outside... The six needed to choose what they'd do.

a) Go with the man outside, open the door. He can help you!

b) Don't go! There are criminals around these areas... They could take anything you have left...

Whichever option gets the most votes wins. If it's a tie... Well, we'll go with whichever I choose.

[Skunk_Giant]

Oh, and in response to the amputation, they can no longer do that, as it travelled into the blood stream. The medication he's on basically freezes it and stops it from moving anywhere which is why the area around his arm is hard to move.

[MKindy]

I vote we go out with the new guys who have shown up.

[vallorn]

lights in the sky? its the military now if they get hold of Nom wel never see him again so we should head outside but be on our guard in case they try to pull anything.

[Skunk_Giant]

Alright, we just need one more person voting to go out...

[Blackadder51]

Going to say a. Though they better have booze. Also i dont trust them

[Sir_Luke]

Yep, option:

a) Go with the man outside, open the door. He can help you!

After all, if they are armed with guns, they might spray the bus, if we run they might shoot us, it's the only thing we CAN do. If it cost Nom his life, I salute you good sir! I hope you die a human and not a Zed.

[Sadrack]

Definitely go outside.

[random980]

Its the military! of course we go with them... As long as im not put down like a dog
They better have some more meds for my infection
Also the military can probably train us in gun handling and stuff

[Skunk_Giant]

David was the first to respond. A quick glance around the room showed that everyone shared his opinion. He opened the door cautiously.

"Evening, the name's Dennis, thought you might need a hand," he began with a grin, knocking David aside and stepping in the bus. "Attention, you scrawny bastards, you're now travelling with me. I'm a soldier in the military, and I'll be your captain for tonight," he continued, chuckling to himself. Suddenly, the grin turned to a steel face. "Off the bus, the lotta ya."

The six piled their supplies and knives into their bags and did as they were told.
Sarge grunted and whispered to Adder.
"The bastards lyin'. The military ain't doing anything. They were one of the first... 'businesses' to go. Heck, they started the whole damn thing. I read up on this stuff...
"Lying? What are you talking about? Look at the equipment they've got..." Adder responded.
"Stolen. They've taken a military base back from the zombies, and suddenly they're the military. All I'm saying, if we wake up missing some items... or limbs... Know who to blame."
"Well how do we escape?" Adder asked.
"The others are in front of us... We could pull back now and take off, but that'd leave the rest of them behind... Decisions like this make your character." Sarge whispered.
Adder looked at him, expecting something. "Well? What do you think?"
"Personally, I like my character as it is, so I'll leave this decision to you. I'll go where you go, but then, I guess that says a bit about me anyway. Make yer choice, Adder."

Black

a) Pull back with Sarge. These guys could be dangerous...

b) Keep going. You're not leaving anyone behind.

[Skunk_Giant]

Also, just a heads up, Arogon will be joining us soon.

[Blackadder51]

I can not leave them. Adder will not be a coward, however can I hide a knife or something? Like i cant use it if the dudes are around or something....

[random980]

The way Dennis presented himself seems very 'unsoldier' like, I dont trust this dickhead. Conker is crying out to meet his face.

and wooo a new surviver is joining!.... wait is he going to be the eejjit in the car?

[Sir_Luke]

If only I was there in real life... Are these guys wearing thier vest on right? Do they have L85s? Do they walk slumpped over or like a soldier? And for crying out loud I HOPE THE HELICOPTER HAS MINI GUNS WITH MY NAME ON THEM!!!

[random980]

If only I was there in real life... Are these guys wearing thier vest on right? Do they have L85s? Do they walk slumpped over or like a soldier? And for crying out loud I HOPE THE HELICOPTER HAS MINI GUNS WITH MY NAME ON THEM!!!

Yeah these so called soldiers need a better description of what they look like :/ and how they behave...

I HOPE THE HELICOPTER HAS MINI GUNS WITH MY NAME ON THEM!!!

Wouldnt that term mean that the mini-guns are firing AT you and not YOU firing them?

[Skunk_Giant]

I'll put the next part up soon, bit busy now.

[vallorn]

if they atack Nom i swear i will murder every single one of them...
