The Dark Hunt

Mark: don't think so. why would they need to when they can go inside the building?

on the street below the zombie that fell off hits a spot already marked with the blood of another that fell off and landed there, in almost the exact same manner as the last. the zombie that fell gets up again after a few comatose seconds and continues on wandering having lost its sense of predatorial direction

"To swarm us"

Mark: well they can't yet but there were goddamn flying ones earlier

in a distance a little light sparks for a moment before flickering out

"That light, could be a survivor"

distant zombie howl derives from the distance

"We'll need to be quiet though... no guns, no explosions"

Mark: could be a trap

something's sparking on the roof they're on

The arbite turns to look at it.

the sparking approaches them until it shows as a horribly disfigured zombie made to look like a segment of a centipede as electricity flows between its pincer-like hands and its gaping maw. the creature is human sized but once its in view it shows those multi legs are appropiate to match the speed of a human running unlike its other undead cousins
(this enemy is a drake. cliffs are not a problem for it in the terms of travel and its attacks are electrified)

OOC don't forget grenade launchers and missiles usually have an arm time when launched

Mark:...oh shit

"This is problematic"

Mark: I have three fire grenades left...

"Dont think them as grenades, think them as dinner bells" the arbite pulls out his day stick.

Mark:...great idea...

"I'll keep it occupied, you look for a weak spot"

Mark:...nice and suicidal then

"Not if you find a weak spot"

Mark: uhuh. and then what do I hit it with?
OOC wanna continue with daria and the guardsman?

(it's the size of a human)

OOC: yes.


"Use this" he passes the laspistol.

OOC sorry! and you first then honus. daria just shot the assassin in the face
IC Mark: right. *he makes sure it's loaded. it's at full charge*

"Put it on full power, good for one shot, you want to kill it in that many"

Mark does so

the creature's already on him (the Arbite)

50+ it hits with its electricity and pincers
75+ it's grevious

Ooc: am I doing it?

OOC yes

Here goes.

The member '342' has done the following action : Challange Fate

'd100' : 79

Ooc: ...aw hell.

the Drake strikes the Arbite with a well placed hit to his side, causing him to collapse. it crawls over him rearing its deformed maw to bite his head

"Shoot it! Shoot it!" He grabs its deformed flesh and tries to hold it up with one arm.

its pincers grab his arm, electrifying him

"Shoot the damn AAGHHHHH!!" He writhes from the brutal attack.

it draws its head back a bit to bite his hand. and emperor damn it its teeth are electrified

He uses he's slung hand, reaches for his pistol, and fires into its body, yelling in pain as the revolver recoils into his broken elbow.

OOC don't do this when i'm AFK dammit!
IC *he shoots it in the face at full power*

it's a cross between reeling and wincing from the revolver shot. the las pistol finishes it as electricity sparks across its upper torso as it goes limp

The arbite pushes it off, crawling away from it.


"What the hell... was that thing"

Mark: get your ass over here, I got some medical supplies. only got enough to fix one of us up this much another thrree times after this

"I'm fine, my gauntlet took the brunt of it" he shows the scorched and melted metal.

Mark: can't let a wound slow you down though

"Trust me, I already have a broken arm, a burn is nothing"

Mark: if you say so. guess it saves supplies.

"Exactly"

Mark: well now what? we need to find a place that's safe so we can contact the others

(guess who? some Risen (tougher zombies by a margin(faster, stronger, tougher, hardly by much)))
they hear rapidpatting of feet as Risen run at them from across the roof (that revolver)

"I'm thinking somewhere quiet, away from populated areas... or whatever they are now"
