GM: Evil Mike McNeal
Ben (Hernandez. His parents are his dependents.)
Owen (Zach Turner. Has sister and sister-in-law as dependents.)
Mike (Mark Kale. Has one son as a dependent.)
Steve (Shane Hensley. Wife Michelle as a dependent.)
Alex (Joe Reynolds. His brother is his dependent.)
We are being chased by a vexation* of walkers. We decide to hole up in a cave until the vexation has passed. We check out the cave. Someone has holed up in here before. We hope that if they return that they are friendly and that they have missiles for a missile launcher. Night comes and we here walkers shuffling around outside the cave. We all try to be quiet, but Owen critically fails his stealth roll.
Ben fumbles around trying to figure a way out of the caves, so I take charge and push the rock blocking the secret exit. I roll really well for my d4 Strength. The rock rolls away, crushing a few walkers. This opens the way for our escape.
The area on the other side of the rock is filled with walkers, but beyond them is a sink hole in the ground. Ben rushes out of our cave and jumps into the hole—leaving the rest of us to our fate. Alas, it is not the bottomless pit we were hoping for and we hear a “splashâ€.
The rest of us follow…or try to. I make an opening so Michelle (my wife) and I can run through. We both jump into the hole. The walkers quickly form a vexation formation and surround the remaining group. Alex and Mike decide this is a good time to use the last two grenades that Alex has. Many walkers were stunned by the twin blasts.
The river at the bottom of the hole leads us back to the bridge where we first spotted a gaggle of vehicles. Our truck and trailer is there too.
Ben begins repairing a couple of cars while the rest of us do the heavy lifting. I notice movement in one of the cars besides Mike. He see it’s the bandit that escaped earlier. The man holds up his hand in a sign of peace. Mike blows him away with his shotgun. Just as Mike did to my character in a previous game session. I think Mike’s mentally unstable and should be watched. Maybe his character too.
Evil mike tells us the bandit knew where there were guns, ammo, tools, women, planes, & working cable television. We shun Mike for a while.
Ben gets a couple of cars running and we head out. If you remember—I sure didn’t—our plan is to head to the corporate headquarters of Banal, which is in Dallas Texas.
I fall asleep. (Me, not my character. I haven’t been sleeping well.) Because of this the rest of the write-up will be a little sketchy.
Owen wakes me up to make a survival roll. I get a raise. I still don’t know why I was rolling.
We trade some food for gas to someone in some town.
Ben spends 30 minutes (real time) negotiating with some guy for an unknown car part.
The guy decides to join us…for some reason.
We head out for Dallas. We’re somewhere in Mexico.
