The Mansion [Concluded]

[Death is yonder]

Well, I have no idea how we are all going to get rested other than everyone running back to the foyer and sleeping, with those who have rested guarding us all. :juggle2::juggle2:

Back in 16+ hours, 'scuse me.

@My group: I think our expedition is doomed to fail, too many locations equate too many opportunities to fail :juggle2::juggle2:

[Greyblades]

Dont worry so much, seeing as I'll be bringing any inactives along with me you should at least survive till we get to the shed.
Oh and I have first dibs on any blow torches or any cutting implements that could get through Iron.

[Zain]

The Mansion: Phase 2

The jobs are set, and Donna (Askthepizzaguy) and David (scottishranger) were asked to stay behind and garrison the Foyer, as well as watch over Dean (Tratorix) who had been injured recently.

The two watched as the other seventeen left the area, and not wasting any time the attractive mid-20’s dirty-blonde bombshell made her move. David, an early 30’s certified nurse, was caught off guard but did not fight Donna’s sexual desires for lip lock…

Dean slept peacefully throughout.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Brian (Elite Ferret) led Daniel (Johnhughthom) and Clarence (Beefy187) through the already familiar Hall B and into the Conservatory…

They found a medium sized room with glass walls and ceiling, and a large bush obstructing their view of the outside. It was daytime, for they could see the sky. But the bushes and vines grew up and blocked much of the sunlight.

They scouted the room for Hostiles, and when they found none they searched the room for anything useful.

Brian went around the edge searching the multiple shelving system for plants, which of course had many pots of dirt with dead plants in it, while Daniel and Clarence searched the center shelving. Clarence looked in the far corner and found three small hand shovels, a water hose with good water which drained through a small hole in the center of the room, and two bottles of spray pesticides.

“Yo Bry, you think these are useful?” Holding them up for Brian to see across the room.

“Why not? Bring them with us!”

“What about some pesticides? We have anyone that knows chemicals?”

Brian acknowledged him with excitement, “I’m a chemical engineer, I’ll think of something!”

The three returned to the Foyer with their loot.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Lorraine (Captain Blackadder) was chosen to garrison Bedroom B, which had been recovered and secured by the others, and so she did. Expecting another, by the name of Nicole Reed, she entered the “secure” room and locked the door behind her.

Fear showed its ugly face, where was Nicole? She sat on the bed, in the very center, curled up in the ball, not blinking.

She heard a noise from inside of the closet, which was closed. She dared not move, she was told this room was secure!

From out of the closet, a pale Hostile with sharp features, no hair, and black eyes entered the room. He stood at the end of the bed and just simply stared at Lorraine, who did not wish to move. She heard the story from Daniel that it reacts badly towards aggression. She figured she would try to talk to him, “Um… sir? I… uh, I’m sorry I’m in your room. Will yo… will you let me leave? I… uh… don’t want any trouble…”

The Hostile just stared, unemotionally. His flakey paper white skin nearly seemed to glow in the dim light. Lorraine felt a sneeze, held it in, and knew that the sudden sound and/or movement would cause alarm. Her heart began to race faster, as she held in the sneeze. The Hostile shifted, seemingly affected by her sudden change of pulse. Her fear overwhelmed her and her eyes filled with tears. The Hostile’s face sharpened up, showing long thin sharp teeth and black gums. His skin began to “melt” and turn clear, showing his insides and blood glowing orange inside of his major veins. He jumped at Lorraine, who through her panic, had dodged towards the locked door. The Hostile landed on the bed. Lorraine reached for the key which was on the dresser right next to the door. The Hostile leaped at her, and as she opened the door the Hostile, which was still in its growing phase, unhinged its jaw and took a large overly exaggerated bite out of Lorraine’s lower back (-8 hp). She screamed in agony and passed out as another woman ran to her aid…

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Upon leaving the foyer Steven (Greyblades) led his team of two consisting of Jose (atheotes) and Laura (CountArach) through Hall B. Accompanying them for the time being was the team leader Lester (Chaotix), and team members Gregory (Death is yonder), Ronald (spL1tp3r50naL1ty), and Jeffrey (A Very Super Market).

They all traveled into the Dining Room and there they observed at least thirty individual dining sets on the table. They all grab the useful items for themselves. This in total included seven sets of two ceramic plates, two forks, one spoon, and two butter knives.

They continued on into the Ball Room, which was virtually desolate except for a few random pieces of furniture against the large room’s walls and an old dusty piano in a back corner.

Steven says, “We don’t have much time to explore this room, we have bigger things to accomplish.”

Everyone agreed, and they made it to the back door, which was unlocked.

They exited the Mansion and there found a large back yard consisting of a large garden in front of them, a shed off slightly to their left, and even further to their left they saw an empty pool and pool house. “The mission…” Gregory said, “Is the shed. Let’s get in and get out. We don’t want bloodshed.”

The team agreed and quickly made their way across the yard, opened the door, saw that there were no Hostiles, and entered it. It was small, so Steven and Lester, leaders of the two groups, entered in to see what they could find.

After a few minutes they piled up a stack of useful items, a shovel, hoe, machete, paid of extra lawn mower blades, two screwdrivers, a hammer, a box of nails, staple gun, and old power drill.

Lester says, “We have seven people, take your pick.”

Gregory had already called dibs on a light weapon, and so he took the lawn mower blades.

Jose the machete, Laura the screwdrivers, Ronald the shovel, Jeffrey the hammer, Steven the hoe, and Lester the staple gun and power drill.

At this Lester’s group left, as they were given their tools first so they could continue on to the Master Bedroom.

Steven, Jose, and Laura stayed behind for a moment, waiting. Steven pulled out an old bowie knife, “He didn’t see me take this, I figured this would be better off in our hands. We have less people after all!”

Laura smiled excitedly as Jose’s glance shot over to the base of the shed. “What’s that!?”

A Hostile crawled out from underneath the shed and stayed there for a moment in a crouched position. Steven held up the bowie knife in an offensive manner while yelling, “Get out of here!”

The Hostile stood up quickly, angered. Its skin melted away and it grew taller. The three got their weapons ready, and it attacked Laura who happened to be closest. It landed on top of her and began tearing at her neck with its teeth as she stabbed furiously at its ribs and fell to the ground. Steven reacted by stabbing at it with his knife and Jose sliced at it with his machete.

The Hostile ravaged Laura while getting attacked by all three sides, and finally with an increased effort Jose swung hard at its neck, decapitating it.

The body of the Hostile fell to Laura’s side, and the head rolled to the other.

The two grieved over her death before realizing the shadow of a key in the Hostile’s forehead. Through grief and tears Jose and Steven dug out the key and obtained Laura’s screwdrivers and her one unit of food. “She doesn’t need these anymore; she’s free from this nightmare…”

The two returned to the Foyer in dead silence and despair…

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The other party, led by Lester, passed Casey (Double A) at the bottom of the stairs. They traveled up the stairs, through Hall C, and into the Master Bedroom with caution. Once they got there they spread out and looked for any Hostiles, traps, and useful items. When they found there were no threats they also searched the Master Bathroom.

They found both rooms to be in terrible condition, dusty and ratty, spider webs and rat pellet everywhere. The bathroom had no running water, and the bedroom’s windows were bricked up just like the other bedroom was.

They put all of the items they found that were of some interest in a pile on the bed, first aid kit from the bathroom, a diary of the man who had previously lived in the Mansion (which at first glance offered no important information), a few coat hangers from the closet, a small locked box they found underneath the bed, and a key that does not match the doors or the lockbox.

Lester spoke up, “So, we gonna lug all this back?”

Jeffrey said, “We should, what do you suppose is in this box?”

Ronald piped in, “Hopefully some smokes! Maybe a playboy…”

Lester and Jeffrey laughed quietly and Gregory hushed them, “Did you hear that??” A women’s scream was heard from downstairs…

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Martin (Cultured Drizzt fan), Eric (Twilightblade), Casey (Double A), and John (Centurion1) entered Hall B in hopes to investigate the Library. They left Casey at the base of the stairs, traveled up; left John at the door of the Library, and Martin and Eric went in to investigate.

What they found was a terribly dirty, very unkempt collection of books, as well as a pair of old recliners and a table with a lamp which had no light bulb. They began looking through the books…

All of the books, every single one, had a blank cover page and spine, and every page was empty except for the last page. All of the books had the same print on the last page, which at the top read, “Clear the rogue and there you see, the light for you, the light for me.” With the last part “the light for me” marked out. Then at the bottom of the page they said, “Brilliance and luck, survivalist’s luck, observed from a higher table.”

“This is very weird…” Eric said to Martin.

“Yeah, tell me about it… what does it mean?”

“Hell if I know! Let’s take one back and see if anyone can figure it out.”

Just then, they heard a scream originate from the bottom of the stairs. They ran out; saw Lester’s team reacting to the screaming as well, coming from the Master Bedroom, and John halfway down the stairs.

When they got down they saw Lorraine lying on the ground with a huge chunk of meat missing from her lower back and an enraged Hostile standing over her staring Casey down. When the seven came down the stairs the Hostile bolted up the hallway towards the Dining Hall…

Martin and Lester carried Lorraine into the Foyer, as the rest of the crew carried their obtained items.

Discussion Phase 3 has officially ended!!!
Order Phase 3 has begun!!! PM's will be accepted from now until Friday at 15:00 GMT

[Beefy187]

I'm going to sleep if you don't mind :bow:

[A Very Super Market]

I have a feeling we should have staggered our sleeping. Now nearly everyone is sleeping.

[Double A]

Pizza, I thought we had something special between us :bigcry:

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

I have a feeling we should have staggered our sleeping. Now nearly everyone is sleeping.

we have 5 people who do not need to sleep. I think that is enough to watch us as we sleep in the foyer :shrug:

The Bedroom..... Ugh. I take responsibility for that. We did not have time to work out a way of handing over the keys and keeping the room locked until needed. :shame: Scotish can use the first aid kit to help her as much as he can. The rest of us get some shut eye. Zain am I supposed to divy up the supplies?


Anyone have any idea what the book we found means?

[Greyblades]

Oh no, I shouldnt have brought along the inactives.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

BTW Really Apg??? :laugh4::laugh4::laugh4::laugh4:

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Discussion Phase 3 has officially ended!!!
Order Phase 3 has begun!!! PM's will be accepted from now until Friday at 15:00 GMT



:sweatdrop: ohhh..... Well guys all I can say is that we sit in the foyer and sleep while those who do not have to sleep guard us.

[Double A]

I wish I had some coffee. Someone go get some. I'm sure the guy who locked us up in this place will let us go to the market for some if we promise to come back.

[Zain]

Zain am I supposed to divy up the supplies?

You can assign people equipment if you'd like or you can put it in a big pile somewhere and divy it out as it's needed. Up to you.

CountArach's food needs to be given to someone though.

Also, CDF could you please supply me with a list of the people and their jobs per turn in your Order PM? That would simplify my job considerably.

Also if I receive all of the PM's early I will end the phase and do the write-up. I have a feeling the next one will be much shorter.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Ok, Although it will have to wait till tomorrow morning at the earliest. I am tired... :sweatdrop:

[Double A]

I wonder what Whitey will be up to tonight.

[Greyblades]

Um on the first turn when you raided the kitchen the writeup said you had put the food you couldnt carry in some cuboards shouldnt we try to retrieve them?

[Double A]

With 5 people not going to sleep, well we kinda need them to protect us.

Hey could we have shifts? Like every 30 minuets two of the tired people change shifts, while the other 5 finish raiding the kitchen.

[Twilightblade]

Sure, but first anyone who doesn't need sleep speak up and grab the biggest weapon you can

[scottishranger]

AH ATPG!

Feels so wrong, but oh so right.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Pizza, I thought we had something special between us :bigcry:

You might be double the A, but only half the man I need.


BTW Really Apg??? :laugh4::laugh4::laugh4::laugh4:

What can I say? He's both scottish AND a ranger. I had to have a taste.


AH ATPG!

Feels so wrong, but oh so right.

Bow chicka wow wow. :eyebrows:

[Splitpersonality]

Whoops forgot my orders :D

[atheotes]

RIP CountArach...sorry we couldnt save you.

good news is we have a key and some useful items... and more importantly we know we can kill the ghouls!

we found some pesticide? hmm... i am supposed to be a pesticide applicator...not sure if it means anything.

[Splitpersonality]

A shovel? Freakin' A I like that :D

I'm sorry Count, if only you had taken the shovel :(

[Chaotix]

A staple gun and a power drill... nice.

Someone can take the drill, but I'm keeping the gun for myself. :laugh4:

Also, I distinctly remember giving orders to search the closet in the bedroom...

[Askthepizzaguy]

I specifically gave orders to "sleep" with scottishranger. We both should be fully energized now. :smoking:

[Splitpersonality]

You know you like my big shovel ATPG, you should be escoring me now...

[Captain Blackadder]

Ahhh the pain, the pain it hurts so much I need to sleep so tired can't think straight.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Alright I am going to be putting all the gear in a pile in the foyer. It is up to you lot to decide what you need when you need it.


as for jobs We have something like 15 people who need sleep. They will get sleep in the foyer while the 4 people who don't need it stand watch.

Guards:
Beskar
Tratorix
spL1tp3r50naL1ty
scottishranger


We move the biggest stuff we can in front of the door then get shut eye.
Grab the biggest weapons you can. Also Scottish you should see what that first aid kit can do to help captain blackadder. :yes: That is all we need to do for now.


Extra food unit goes to Tratorix. He got less of it then others last round, and he is still wounded. Scottish if you can stabilize Captain then have a look at Tratorix.

[Beskar]

I already got some sleep, I hid in a cupboard. However, one of those strange NPC's went into the kitchen and raided the food supply cupboard for food. Not sure if this information is helpful in anyway.. but yeah.

[Death is yonder]

Deaths: Laura J. Wilson (Allopathic Surgeon) (CountArach)

:no::no:




I already got some sleep, I hid in a cupboard. However, one of those strange NPC's went into the kitchen and raided the food supply cupboard for food. Not sure if this information is helpful in anyway.. but yeah.

Something tells me we're gonna run out of food...? :sweatdrop:

I think the orders this round are simple, everyone head back to the foyer, and sleep, and the guards will grab the big weapons and lay them out in easy reach, and turn the foyer area into a fortress.

So Whitey, how have you been? :yes:

[Double A]

Ok, this disproves my Zelda theory... but don't worry I got another one. And it actually makes since.

These ghouls, and that's what they are, since zombies don't grow bigger, demons aren't fodder, and vampires are either scarier or gay, are the undead. So that means... if one of us dies... we may have another ghoul to fight...

Also everyone played Clue as a kid right? (Cluedo everywhere but USA) I feel like the ghouls have access to the secret passageways (like Kitchen to Study) that can take them into even secure rooms. So if there aren't, someone either forgot to check the closet, or they can... teleport... :sweatdrop:

Also I think everyone should reveal your job, that way we won't have to wait till you're dead to find out if you're a doctor.

I'm a Training and Development Manager, whatever that means.

[Death is yonder]

Gregory, Programmer :bow:

[Beefy187]

Folk lift driver here.

[Captain Blackadder]

Industrial Relations officer here

[Centurion1]

john navarro here, sports competitor. athlete in other words.



good news is we have a key. and obviously that key opens that lockbox we found. so i say we open the lockbox. We did take it with us no?

[Death is yonder]

It IS in the loot isn't it?

[Askthepizzaguy]

I will arm myself with the spoons.

[Death is yonder]

Well... pertaining to equipment, I would like the lawn mower blades, and a few ceramic plates and a butter knife or two :yes:

[Greyblades]

I'm keeping the bowie knife, I dont remember asking to hide a weapon but I want to keep it all the same.

[Beskar]

I am Nicole a gas station assistant.

Why do I have such a rubbish job? I should be a doctor, or astrosurgeon or something.

[atheotes]

i would like to keep the machete (not the greatest weapon...but seems handy right now)... maybe someone can have it while i am sleeping... but i have used it to bring down a ghoul and i think it is only fair that me and Greyblades get to keep those weapons :bow:

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Ok, this disproves my Zelda theory... but don't worry I got another one. And it actually makes since.

Or Chaotix did not keep the room locked before Captain Blackadder came in. Occams Razor. I think that is more likely.

[Chaotix]

Or Chaotix did not keep the room locked before Captain Blackadder came in. Occams Razor. I think that is more likely.

:shrug:

I put in orders both to check the closet and to lock the door. Perhaps there was no key to lock it with, and it just wasn't mentioned in the write-up? Barring the door from the outside would not have served to keep Hostiles out, and we couldn't have barred it from the inside and left, either. I don't think there was ever a key to begin with. Perhaps the new one we found serves that purpose, or maybe it's used for another door. From what we've seen, most of these Hostiles have a key in their head.

[Zain]

Laura struggled to unlock the door with the key, there was a key. How the Hostile got in is another question.

[Double A]

You answered one of our questions with another question?

:stare:

[Chaotix]

Well, that's basically a confirmation by denial from the host...

We should start looking out for secret passages and the like, as Double A has suggested.

[Double A]

Hmm I have a very important question.

Do we have a mage?

[Zain]

You answered one of our questions with another question?

:stare:

Nope. :no:

I told you there was a key, and brought up the obvious. :2thumbsup:

[Captain Blackadder]

I suspect we they might my orders I gave were to search the room for secret passages and doorways.

[Zain]

Order Phase 3 is over!!!

I received 7/19 PMs and the amount of discussion was pitiful. Be prepared for a disaster... :no:

Discussion Phase 4 has begun and will end at approximately 15:00 GMT on Saturday.

[Chaotix]

Hmm I have a very important question.

Do we have a mage?

What exactly do you mean by "mage"? :inquisitive:

There is no "MP" stat to speak of. I don't think we can anyone who can use "magic".

scottishranger is a nurse, so he can heal people more effectively, but he needs first-aid kits just like anyone else.

I wound up finding a Staple Gun last round, so presumably I can fight at range.

[atheotes]

i thought it was understood - and CDF posted - that everyone who needed sleep was going to sleep (i sent my orders but i did not think i was essential) and there was nothing else to do. that is probably the reason for the lull in discussion.:bow:

[Zain]

I would quote myself but I'm too lazy. Basically I said the more discussion there is the less chance there is of a mishap.

Also it's stated that a PM is required every Order Phase, so, 12 people were counted as inactive this round. It won't hurt them too bad, unless this is their second turn in a row... Tratorix, Splitpersonality, and Scottishranger...

[Askthepizzaguy]

Oh jeez, did I forget to put in a sleep order?

:wall:

In fairness I tried to sleep yesterday.

[Zain]

I am a compassionate fellow, so here is the write-up. :bow:

Write-up 3

Before retiring for the night David (Scottishranger) did his best work with the first aid on Dean (Tratorix), he was able to clean up his small scratches and help his bruises but his broken ribs and sprain wrist were the unforgiveable sin for not heading the tape recorders words of "caution".

Dean had just woken up and so he was put on "conversationalist" with the other guards. Hoping to keep them awake and aware during their shifts.

Lorraine (Captain Blackadder) suffered greatly from her giant gash in her back from the beast, but it was healing slowly. She will live.

Other guards were Nicole (Beskar) who returned from the kitchen before they locked up the Foyer, Ronald (Splitpersonality), and David after he finished tending to the wounds of others.

The night was peaceful, everyone got their sleep in, and ready for the morning ahead of them.

Deaths: None
Injuries: None
Equipment: None gained
Needing Sleep: Ronald (Splitpersonality) and David (Scottishranger)
Needing Food: Daniel (Johnhughthom)

Order Phase 4 will end at approximately 15:00 GMT on Sunday!

[Ferret]

To be fair there was little to discuss as most of us were sleeping.

I'm happy to do what CDF tells me again this round :yes:

Yes and I agree that you should, but I still need to receive a PM from everyone to ensure me that you are active.

Is that too much to ask? :juggle2:

[Chaotix]

Perhaps you should either extend the length of the phases, or only start them after the write-up has been posted. To be fair, there usually isn't a whole lot to talk about until we know exactly what happened during the last phase. I agree that there's really no reason for people not to send in orders, especially when all that was required this phase was a single sentence: "Sleep in the Foyer."

I'm surprised no one was killed... did you originally have a different write-up planned?

I meant to put that the phase ended on Sunday. :bow:

And yes, I agree, now that you all have slept you can have stuff to talk about and actually make a plan to get out of the Mansion.

And yes, I planned on killing off a few people but I realized that it was the safest plan for all of you to stay in the same room with guards and barred doors. So, you all survived.

Next time there will be no mercy :no:

Discuss :whip:

[Double A]

I posted like 4 different theories. I tried to get a discussion going but no one hopped on.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Alright. Hopefully this phases plan will get some discussion going. So far getting three groups working independently from each other and each accomplishing a goal seems to be working very well. I have a plan ready for this phase.

The Storage room: Phase one we entered it and were repulsed due to a ghoul being there. If there is a guard there we can safely assume there is something important there. I plan on leading a crack team of commando's into the room and having a look around and taking whatever we need. As I expect pretty heavy resistance I will be taking some of the men with bigger weapons.


The Kitchen: A group will head to the kitchen and get the rest of our food from here, and bring it back, they should have lighter weapons, but still all be armed.


The Bedroom A: Something happened in Bedroom bathroom A. I want to know what. A group will head over there and thoroughly investigate every inch for secret tunnels. They should lock the door and bunker down there after clearing it out. Heavily armed and armored. Grab the key to the door as well.


I can divide up items later, but unless you write in thread what you want from the weapon pile I will have to randomly assign it. Please be reasonable with weapon choice. Do not ask for a ton of stuff. Some weapons have already been taken, read through he thread.


I personally will be taking the hammer. :bow:


I can assign groups if you lot want, or you can volunteer.



Also we need to see if one of the keys we have go to the lock box. also need to find what the other keys go to.

And finally, the book's we found must be some kind of riddle..... must have a purpose. They can't all say the same thing for no reason.

[Double A]

Nother theory coming your way...

These ghouls can sense emotions. So to not get eaten, do NOT show aggression, and if you can help it don't show fear. These two they can sense above all. I think it's not the "Hey wtf is that" kind of fear, but the kind where you need a clean pair of pants, like when Blackadder was going to sneeze. So, in order for none of us to show any emotions, I suggest we all look for a copy of Prince of Persia: Warrior Within and take turns playing it.

[scottishranger]

Oh jeesh, sorry, thought I had mroe time. Ill get in orders tonight.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Oh jeesh, sorry, thought I had mroe time. Ill get in orders tonight.

Its fine, just don't let it happen again. Not to sound cold, but if you go inactive and die it could take a lot of us with you. :sweatdrop:


so what does everyone think?

[Askthepizzaguy]

I think scottishranger is a pretty cool guy. Eh kisses blonde bombshells and doesn't afraid of anything.



As for the game, I am really, really enjoying being a follower in this one, not a leader, for the sake of my sanity. I can see the appeal of sitting back and letting the game happen.

I will do whatever you ask until I die. But, if I am alone with scottishranger I am going to giggity giggity him until he passes out.

I can see why being a follower would appeal to you..... :laugh4::laugh4: This is not as fun as I was hoping it would be. :laugh4: so much easier to just do my own thing.


I will start assigning positions tomorrow if I don't get any volunteers. :yes:

[Askthepizzaguy]

DO IT NOW!


Sorry, there's still some leadership residue on me.

Ill sleep tonight. (Come to bed or lose me forever ATPG)

Ill sleep tonight. (Come to bed or lose me forever ATPG)

Make sure you message him privately.

*bolts from the floor, dress comes off*

[Greyblades]

I was thinking, if we were to take a hammer to the pots and pans in the kitchen and some clothing from the bedroom closets we might be able to fasion out some armour like arm plates, sholder pads, leggings e.t.c. Dont expect any good armour but it might save us from some glancing blows.

[Chaotix]

The book, from how I interpreted it, seemed to want us to kill a "rogue". Who out of us could be considered a rogue? White_eyes. I don't think we should do anything until we find more clues, but we should be wary of him now.

As for the expeditions:

You will need a balanced group of fighters for the Storeroom group, CDF. Take me with you, I've got this Staple Gun and can fight at range. Also, there is a chance that because of the nature of my weapon, I may be able to kill Hostiles before they are able to transform.

And the Bedroom in question is Bedroom B, not A. We haven't explored A yet. Also, I have a feeling about the toilet in the Bathroom, due to how it was mentioned in the first write-up. The Bedroom group may want to check that out.

[Ferret]

I'd rather be told what to do, saves me having to decide :clown:

[atheotes]

it may not be bad idea to divide the whole group into 3 and ensure that one group is always sleeping.
the remaining 2 groups can be further divided for explorations. that way we wont have the same situation as the last action phase. I get the feeling that going forward we may not be fortunate enough not to be attacked while we are sleeping.

[Greyblades]

Well I want to start up an arts and crafts in the kitchen to make some armour and it might be a good idea to examine the corpse atheotes left outside to see if the wearghoul things have any weakspots. We might be able to take them down more easily if we know where to stab to pierce an internal organ.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Greyblades if you are going to do that I am going to have to ask for you to give the Bowie knife to someone going to the storage room this round. You can tag along with the kitchen group and see if they will help you. You can have it back when we return, but I would feel a lot better about our group if we had the combat suitable weapons.


As I am getting no volunteers I will assign groups in a hour or so.

[Greyblades]

Could I swap your hammer for it?

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Could I swap your hammer for it?

thats what I was going to suggest actually :yes:

[Askthepizzaguy]

I agree with the idea of sleeping in shifts, this is a wise policy.

[Greyblades]

Great, I'll see if I can make something. Can I request that the guys going to the bedrooms to get me some socks, tights etc that I can use as straps?

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

I agree with the idea of sleeping in shifts, this is a wise policy.

It is a good idea. :yes: We are going to have to use that.

[Ferret]

Maybe I should try and do something with the pesticides seeing as I'm a chemical engineer? Might be able to make some sort of weapon out of them.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Maybe I should try and do something with the pesticides seeing as I'm a chemical engineer? Might be able to make some sort of weapon out of them.

That sounds like a plan. :yes: although Atheotes is a pesticide something. You two should collaborate on that.

[Death is yonder]

As I am getting no volunteers I will assign groups in a hour or so.

*mutters* Timezones... *mutters*

Already have stated what I wish from the pile :bow:

Butter knives, just in case I need to ram something into something's skull, A pair of lawnmower blades to chop them off, and ceramic plates to smash on the floor and run away, just in case we are pursued, big scary thing no likey run over sharp objects :yes:

And of course! My trusty vase...

I'll be happy to head to the storage room with you, if I'm considered heavily armed :bow:

The Kicthen group: 5 people
1. Greyblades, TEMPUS! team leader of this expedition
2. Death is yonder, Not sure how deadly lawn mower blades are, but he has two of them
3. Beefy187, More butter knives
4. Johnhughthom, Butter knives of doom. .

Greyblades, found something that puts a cramp in your idea.


Greg said, “No, nothing. No utensils, no knifes, no pots or pans, nothing. Just food.”


From the writeup day 1. :sweatdrop: Sorry. still need that food grabbed, and john needs some asap.


The Bedroom group (bedroom B that is):
1. Centurion1, Power drill the monsters away!, Group leader
2. Askthepizzaguy, maybe you can use your "talents" to distract the monsters?
3. Double A, You hoe you! :laugh4:,
4. I would add a 4th person but that would mean lowering the amount of people in group 1 (sleep cycle)





anyone have any issues with this? Step forward now. and tell me if you have no intention of doing your task. I need to know.

[Greyblades]

Oh fine I just had another idea, we could grab all our stuff, go into the garden and burn down the house with the ghouls inside. We'd kill allmost all the ghouls and when the flames die down we can either climb over the rubble or, if the walls are still standing, break down the weakened front door.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Actually I just had an idea, we could grab all our stuff, go into the garden and burn down the house with the ghouls inside. We'd kill allmost all the ghouls and when the flames die down we can either climb over the rubble or, if the walls are still standing, break down the weakened front door.

somehow I think that would end with us all burning to death painfully and slowly. Or all of the ghouls popping out of the house and eating us. :sweatdrop: I don't think zain would let us pull something like that, especially when the ghouls would obviously jump out into the garden, and we would have to fight them all at once. (hint, I think that is a bad Idea.)

[Greyblades]

Well what would you prefer a full out battle where we are all in one place making a stand with all our strength or be picked off one by one?
I dont think that we would be burned to death as the garden is probably large enough for us to keep a safe distance, the fences won't be flamable as I think Zain would have thought of us trying to destroy them and as such prepared and the house wont drop on us as the house only has 2 floors over ground level.

[Twilightblade]

I see that I have been assigned to the storage room, thats fine by me. Does anyone have a clue as to what the writing in the book means?

@CDF there's no space in my name

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Well what would you prefer a full out battle where we are all in one place making a stand with all our strength or be picked off one by one?
I dont think that we would be burned to death as the garden is probably large enough for us to keep a safe distance, the fences won't be flamable as I think Zain would have thought of us trying to destroy them and as such prepared and the house wont drop on us as the house only has 2 floors over ground level.

We have no idea how many ghouls there are. Could be to many to take. To many unknowns. But lets say for a minute all the ghouls burn to death. I still think lighting a fire to burn the whole house would be too out of control. What if the garden catches fire? We are all boned. To big of a risk, Playing with fire is not the answer. I mean "PROBABLY?" I do not like the sounds of that. You are right, Zain probably would have though of this, and I can not see that ending good for us.



Also, some more info:

before the groups head out we are going to try and open that lock box, use all the keys we can. Atheotes and Elite ferret will mull over what we can use the pesticide for.


Edit: sorry twilight, mistake. :sweatdrop:

[Greyblades]

The garden is large enough to contain a swimming pool. Eh fine I was only putting it forward because I was bored. I wonder if we will find any deoderant in the bathroom, we could use it as a rorschach style flamethrower.

[Death is yonder]

Oh fine I just had another idea, we could grab all our stuff, go into the garden and burn down the house with the ghouls inside. We'd kill allmost all the ghouls and when the flames die down we can either climb over the rubble or, if the walls are still standing, break down the weakened front door.

I think that its entirely possible that the ghouls are scared of overwhelming numbers.

They weren't there when we were around, but when we split up, they attacked you :juggle2:



The Kicthen group: 5 people
1. Greyblades, TEMPUS! team leader of this expedition
2. Death is yonder, Not sure how deadly lawn mower blades are, but he has two of them
3. Beefy187, More butter knives
4. Johnhughthom, Butter knives of doom. .

I suppose then, me and GB will cover them while they rush forwards like little hobbits battling the cave troll and stab it with their pointy butter knives :clown:

No one wants ceramic plates eh?

Free Equipment:

Equipment: Small Gardening Shovel (1x), Bottle of Pesticide (x2), Ceramic Plate (x9), Fork (x11), Spoon (x4), Butter Knife (x3), Shovel, Hoe, Machete, Lawn Mower Blade (x2), Screwdriver (x2), Hammer, Nails (x40)[Depends on how many CB Wants], Staple Gun, Power Drill, Bowie Knife, Hostile Key, Unit of Food (x1), First Aid Kit, Old Diary, Coat Hanger (x12), Locked Box, Random Key, Mysterious Book

Clarification, is that TWO machetes? Because its [Shovel, Hoe, Machete, Lawn Mower Blades (x2)]

Other than that, this is the list of unclaimed stuff, I grabbed 5 ceramic plates and 2 butter knives, CDF, along with my gear.

[Greyblades]

Um before we leave to go off in our seperate groups could we try our keys on the front door and that locked box?

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'll take the old diary and the mysterious book.

[Double A]

Hey that reminds me, have you found any write-up clues Pizza?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Yes.... my affections toward scottishranger seem awfully suspect. I am thinking that one of us is guilty.

vote: Askthepizzaguy

Let's go with the obvious one first.

[Double A]

Is Sasaki even playing this game?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Not that I'm aware of.

[Double A]

Hmmm then that leaves out voting for the obvious. How about who you least suspect?

vote: Double A

[Greyblades]

Not that I care much but, could you two stop spamming the thread, we dont want to make Ibn's job harder than it allready is.

Edit: Did I say Ibn? I meant Zain, I'm tired.

[taka]

i know i aint playing (althought i'd love to) and i dunno if i can comment, but i think the ghoul's weak point is their heads. seems like attack anywhere does little damage, but a head swipe kills them straight off (plus you get a key).

but im sure most of you know that already :bow:

[Greyblades]

Well seeing as anything larger than a tennis ball dies when its head is cut off thats a given.

[Centurion1]

alright ill be sending my preliminary orders to my group members soon.


im an athlete so i assume im big and strong hoefully i can cause some damage i guess my role is like a fighter while some of you engineers are like "mages"

[Double A]

Since I'm not leading my group, I'd really like a PM telling me what I'll actually be doing.

[Askthepizzaguy]

The Bedroom group (bedroom B that is):
1. Centurion1, Power drill the monsters away!, Group leader
2. Askthepizzaguy, maybe you can use your "talents" to distract the monsters?
3. Double A, You hoe you! ,
4. I would add a 4th person but that would mean lowering the amount of people in group 1 (sleep cycle)

You will be in the bedroom with me.

*curls finger suggestively*

Also Centurion1 will be there doing something with a drill... probably drilling something. But it's best not to make light of our situation with jokes about drills. That might be spammy.

Serious mode: We shall clear the room of ghouls, as if I need to state it.

[Double A]

Ok since there was a confirmed ghoul, and there's only three of us, I really would feel safer if we had... oh I dunno... Mace Windu?

[Askthepizzaguy]

I can bend spoons without using my hands. Does that count?

[atheotes]

Maybe I should try and do something with the pesticides seeing as I'm a chemical engineer? Might be able to make some sort of weapon out of them.


That sounds like a plan. :yes: although Atheotes is a pesticide something. You two should collaborate on that.

i am a Pesticide Applicator... i have no idea what i can do... there was nothing specified. maybe we are allowed to be creative :wink:

CDF, i am okay with going to the storage again.

[Double A]

Maybe you can kill the weeds in the garden, clearing the path to a chest! Is it the bow? The boomerang? Only time will tell!

[Chaotix]

Those coat hangers that we have can probably be cut and bent into some rudimentary brass knuckles or something. I'd say that would probably be at least as useful as a butter knife.

If we can't find anything to do with with the pesticide spray, we can always use it as a makeshift flamethrower (like the deoderant idea) if we get any matches or lighters. We may find some sort of giant bug, though, in which case using the stuff would be painfully obvious.

[Captain Blackadder]

Could I borrow that hammer please for this round? I could take some boards from the lobby and make some nail boards allowing us to have more weapons.

[Ferret]

Yay a spade! I'm happy with that plan.

atheotes: Maybe we could make some kind of poison trap with one unit of food left out but coated in pesticides? Of course it's possible that those things don't eat but it might be worth a go, can't think of anything else to use them for.

[Death is yonder]

Waste of a perfectly good unit of food, we don't know the depth of our supplies, if it were suddenly on the verge of running out...? :juggle2::juggle2:

I don't see any other viable source of food at the moment.:no:

Perhaps we should wait and see, think of the pesticides as like the diary. The clues are useless now, but when we get more, it will all make sense. No sense squandering a potentially useful future resource that could be used to solve a major hurdle in the near future :juggle2:

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Also, Just so the people in group one know. You are not getting any sanctioned sleep for two rounds after this. That means if you do not get sleep this round you are boned. I realize many of you have 2 energy, but bare with me. :yes:


Captain blackadder you will have to talk about it with greyblades. But I think that he would be willing to hand it over and help you as soon as he gets back from the kitchen.



Group leaders it is entirely your job to get the tactics together for your groups. I will send in skeleton orders in case one of you go inactive, but skeleton orders= dead people, so please organize your groups.


Everyone stay active. I need all the help I can get.

[Captain Blackadder]

Who is guarding the sleepers? Perhapes they can do that. If not it can be done next round I suppose. I just think it would be good since nail boards are a lot better weapons then butter knifes.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

I tried to divide the groups with at least a few decent weapons in each group. :sweatdrop:


The people who are sleeping this round will have to get a watch going. IE. 1 guy stays awake for a hour, then next hour someone else is woken up. Be much easier than having to station actual guards. BTW, fall asleep on watch and I am throwing you out of the foyer. :whip: I am being serious. we need someone to man the doors, and if you fall asleep then you are going to be exiled.

You can get greyblades to help you with the hammer, just make sure to get some sleep. Its a good idea. :yes: The kitchen group should not be out for long anyway.

[Greyblades]

Actually I'm not going to take the hammer, I'm going on guard duty this turn for the kitchen group so I will have more use for the bowie knife.

[WilliamWallace]

Foyer - A rather large room with three exits, the front door leading out of the Mansion, which cannot be opened, and two doors leading out on either side. There are leather chairs and a couch, at most comfortably seating 8 people. There are also pictures of random landscape and knights up on the tall walls, as well as a few desks on either side with vases of fake flowers next to the doorways. The doors are large and wooden, locked with the key inside the lock, and bared from the inside. There are three cabinets directly ahead of the front door, behind the couch, seemingly made of iron and are locked. The flooring is tile, light brown in color. The smell is obvious of old leather and years of pipe tobacco use...

:stare:

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Actually I'm not going to take the hammer, I'm going on guard duty this turn for the kitchen group so I will have more use for the bowie knife.

:wall: OK, That is out of the way then, I will help you after I get back captain blackadder.


and yes, we are going to sue the keys we have on the lockbox and drawers. :shrug:

[Greyblades]

I have a suggestion; I've noticed that the hostiles, as the host calls them, only attack us when we provoke them, be it hostility or by showing Pure fear, I suggest that you put in your orders if you encounter a hostile you will stay calm and attempt to walk away instead of engaging right off the bat. You may be able to get away with barely a scratch.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Personally I'm going to be thinking about last night's memorable events. Fear will be the last thing on my mind.

Maybe there are advantages to being who I am. :beam:

[Death is yonder]

I have a suggestion; I've noticed that the hostiles, as the host calls them, only attack us when we provoke them, be it hostility or by showing Pure fear, I suggest that you put in your orders if you encounter a hostile you will stay calm and attempt to walk away instead of engaging right off the bat. You may be able to get away with barely a scratch.

Pure Fear? I forgot who was it that sneezed, and tried to stifle it, and failed, provoking it.

Plus, the first slain hostile was killed with less, singular hostiles should be similarly dealt with, our groups contain more armed people than before, and with better arms too. Our only main concern in multiple hostiles. Additionally, killing the hostiles seems to be like "key collecting" now, which should serve us better now, before the mansion possibly gets "revved up" by the host to hasten our deaths.

Last thing we want is crucial supplies/needs being out of stock and in the end, turning on each other because we ran out of them, and the only way is to be the last man standing, with the last resources.

I have no idea what we are going to do if the kitchen runs out of food, personally :juggle2::juggle2:

Any update from whiteeyes, he said he would tell us if he found anything. I presume he hasn't found anything noteworthy? Or is said thing too important a discovery to let us know :clown:

I seem to recall someone talking about a "shadowy figure" who was raiding the kitchen, I think that might be whiteeyes, but who knows. :juggle2::juggle2:

I think so as well, he needed supplies and food so he raided the kitchen :yes:

[Splitpersonality]

I am in desperate need of food, anyone willing to help me out?

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

I am in desperate need of food, anyone willing to help me out?

Kitchen expedition will bring you some back. :yes:

[Askthepizzaguy]

So how long have we been in this mansion? We've all eaten...

Assuming we get water we shouldn't be dead in three days. Are we diabetic?

:clown:

[A Very Super Market]

Can we eat other people? How about the ghouls?

[Centurion1]

wait we have all eaten correct?????

[Double A]

Can we eat other people? How about the ghouls?

Fire is hot, they are not. Let's make it so.

[Splitpersonality]

I have not eaten, not once :o

[Greyblades]

Eating's automatic.

[Splitpersonality]

I haven't had any food in my posession either, only a shovel.

[Greyblades]

So it seems that you dont die after just 6 hours of no food in this game. Bit wierd with the whole collapsing with exhastion being fatal thing.

[Centurion1]

guess because if you collapse of exhaustion something could grab you.......

[Greyblades]

Maybe, but we have yet to see those things interact with a dead body so, then again maybe not

[Centurion1]

then again..... he is the hoat and therefore God, so.....

(yeah i just pulled out the ultimatum card).

i think its just a simple way to make sure that inactive players cant skate to victory off our shoulders.

[Zain]

I would like to apologize, the phase was supposed to end 12 hours ago, but as I have said, my weekends are always very unpredictable. :bow:

I will begin the write-up now. No PMs will be accepted.

Also, eating food is automatic, every turn 1 unit of food is used up. You die if you hit 0. Same with energy, for inactives.

The write-up will explain how someone passes out due to exhaustion and something fatal happens to them, but it's all the same to me.

[Zain]

Write-up 4

Before leaving Martin (CDF) put in the key they had obtained from the Hostile into one of the three iron cabinets. The key turned well but did not open the door and did not come out of the lock. Also the other mysterious key did not fit to open the lock box. After much frustration, the group gave up on the locks, they had missions to accomplish…

Six people watched as three groups of twelve total people left the Foyer.

Nicole (Beskar) chose to keep watch first as the other five slept. She analyzed them, Ronald (Split) and Jeffrey (AVSM) both seemed in perfectly good health, David (Scottishranger) the medic, Dean (Tratorix) who wasn’t looking too good, and Lorraine (CB) who was terribly wounded but still showed some life. “We’re doomed…” Nicole thought to herself.

A half hour went by through her shift, and no signs of life. But then, she heard light footsteps and odd breathing on the other end of the lock-and-barred door. A sound… *knock knock* “Will you let me in? I need some help…”

Nicole opened the door, and there stood Hector (White eyes) looking very pale with darkening eyes. His color was still there, an off white, instead of a paper white like the Hostiles. He stumbled into the foyer, “Does anyone have any food?” Nicole ran and got him some of hers “Are you alright?”

He took a bite, and spat it out. “Food tastes terrible now! Why me!?” His voice went shrill at the end, and he quickly snapped his gaze in her direction. “Who is hurt?” Nicole noticed that he hadn’t even looked at the two sleeping injuries. “Well, um, Dean and Lorraine. Why?”

Hector looked over at the two and began walking over to them, “I can smell their pain…”

The two slept side by side, and Hector went in between them, squatted down, and put a hand on each of their necks. “What are you doing? Leave them alone!” Nicole yelled. Ronald, Jeffrey, and David woke up, but Dean and Lorraine seemed frozen in time. Hector looked up at Nicole, “I can’t deny him…”

Hector squeezed hard and tore out both of their jugulars. Blood went everywhere as they both died instantly. Ronald and Jeffrey both kicked into action, with gardening shovels and butter knife in hand, the both attempted to thrash Hector but he seemed to escape back through the Foyer door into the hall using supernatural speed…

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Martin led four other men through the hallway and down the stairs toward the Storage Room…

“So let me get this straight, you want me to stand between the four of you and fire a staple gun at the monsters if we find them? A staple gun?” Lester (Chaotix) exclaimed surprised.

“Yeah, you have a problem with that?” Jose (Atheotes) answered him.

The other two, Eric (TB) and Brian (EF) kept quiet, concentrating on their mission. Being outside of the Foyer was always a high tension job.

The group made it to the stairwell and at the bottom they spotted a Hostile standing straight up facing into the door going into the downstairs hallway. It showed no life and just stood there aimlessly.

Martin made it clear to get into the Storage Room and get it scouted and searched at all cost, and so the group chose Lester and Brian to use long range fire on it as it seemed unaware.

Lester lined up his staple gun, and Brian readied himself to throw his shovel like a spear. The two counted to themselves in a whisper, “3, 2, 1… Go!” and the two began the assault. The Hostile remained unaware until it was hit hard in the back of the head with the shovel head and was pierced by an industrial staple in the neck. It yelled, loud and shrill, and ran fast into the Storage Room.

The five men quickly made their way down the stairwell and once they got there they ran into the Storage Room in formation, Jose at the front wielding a machete, Lester in the center with his staple gun, Martin on the left with his hammer, and Brian on the right with his shovel he picked back up. Eric was left to guard the door with a screwdriver.

Inside, amongst boxes and shelves that could hold pretty much anything they would ever need stood four Hostiles and the injured one that had been attacked. The little one was lying on the ground, bleeding out of the back of the head, and the others were approaching him, hungry. The group watched as four Hostiles devoured their injured comrade.

“There are too many, escape!” Martin yelled as Eric left first, followed by Brian, then Lester, then Martin. Jose, being in the back, was grabbed by the biggest Hostile by the leg and thrown across the room, yelling for his life before severing his spinal cord on the hard basement wall. He too was devoured.

Martin attempted to help him but the others held him back, “We can’t leave him!” He yelled. “He’s a goner! Save yourself!” Screamed Lester as the four remaining men fled back to the top of the stairs.

“We could hold them here!” Martin yelled battle ready. They waited, and were not being pursued. They could not take such overwhelming numbers, not without more help, so they returned to the Foyer…

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

John (Centurion1), Donna (ATPG), and Casey (Double A) chose to return to Bedroom B and see what had caused Laura’s death. John entered the door, and the two girls barred the door with large furniture as he scouted the room for secret doors and passageways. When he found none in the bedroom he and Casey moved on into the bathroom and found nothing. The door into Bedroom A remained locked.

“Then how did that thing get into this room with it all sealed up?” John asked, frustrated.

“Maybe he was there the entire time and the last team didn’t see him?” Donna suggested.

They went back and forth and concluded that the rooms were secure, and that Laura’s death was unexplainable…

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Steven (Greyblades) along with Gregory (DIY), Clarence (Beefy), and Daniel (Johnhughthom) chose to go into the Kitchen for more food supplies.

The group entered through the Kitchen, familiar with it but still wary of deadly foes. When they concluded that they were alone, they each grabbed as much food as they could (8 units) and exited the door into the hallway.

They each walked towards the Foyer, backs to the Billiards Room door. A Hostile opened the door, made aware of other life through its scent, and it stalked the last man in line, Daniel.

Right before Steven reached the door to the Foyer, Daniel’s scream was heard in the back. He dropped his food loot, a pool cue through his chest from the back. The Hostile, grabbed Daniel’s head by the hair and began dragging his body to the Billiards Room.

The other men escaped back into the Foyer, believing Daniel had died instantly. They brought with them pale faces, shakings hands, and 24 units of well deserved food.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Deaths: Dean Hoff (Tratorix), Lorraine Hatcher (Captain Blackadder), Jose Croy (Atheotes), and Daniel Hanson (Johnhughthom)

Thank you :bow:

[A Very Super Market]

Ah jeez, I didn't send a PM again.

Alright. White Eyes is turning into one of them, and he just killed the two wounded. Totally handled himself well.

[Zain]

Ah jeez, I didn't send a PM again.

Alright. White Eyes is turning into one of them, and he just killed the two wounded. Totally handled himself well.

Please do so this time around. :bow:

Also, you read fast! :laugh4:

[A Very Super Market]

I've been told that. :P

Alright, so presumably, most of us had sent in orders that had running away playing a big part. The alternative, fighting, would probably have damaged them more, but ended with even more bodies lost. So I don't really know. Perhaps we should travel in larger groups? We would be able to do more damage more quickly.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

:furious3::furious3::furious3::furious3:

Whiteyes is now official dead. :whip:





also, Zain did I not say to not leave anyone behind? :inquisitive: I would have preferred a heroic and futile attack to try and get atheotes back :laugh4:

Nevermind, I see what you did there :yes: :laugh4::laugh4::laugh4: No heroic sacrifice this time, maybe next time.

Well this did not go well. :juggle2: I am now officially ticked off. 4 hostiles...... dear lord. and surprise surprise we are running low on food.


Did the kitchen group not send in orders? If they were going by my skeleton orders it would explain why someone died.

[Greyblades]

I say we all band together and clear out the house room by room, If they want to kill us they have to fight us all at once!

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

You all noticed the "amongst boxes and shelves that could hold pretty much anything they would ever need"? That is why we need to get into the storage room. :yes:


Also, Is it just me or are their more hostiles? Double A might have been partially correct.



My plan is this. This phase we go out in force. All 12 people not sleeping this phase are going to head to the storeroom. We are going to take that room. :whip: And if we see whitey along the way we can decapitate him a little. The watch is to not let in whitey, ever. He is now officially a hostile, and should be treated as such.

I will divide up the weapons for our 12 man group later today, everyone with anything better than a fork will be coming with us. (or you will be giving up your weapon for someone else to use.


I will be leading the group. And, we are NOT leaving anyone behind.


also, you all noticed the hostile key went into the cabinet right? It would not open yet, but that is because we need 2 other keys. I smell a way out!


And I hope no one missed the injured hostile being eaten by the others.... Seems like they are willing to eat anything. Cannibalistic ghouls, go figure. We can exploit that.... somehow.

[Zain]

The kitchen group all sent in orders but Johnhughthom, thus his death.

The Mansion is growing colder...

[Askthepizzaguy]

I always knew White_Eyes was a real bad boy.

Why can't you men be more like him?

*sigh....*

[Centurion1]

my group only has one unit of food left. Im a little worried that we are all going to die of starvation. anyone care to resupply us or something..........

you guys could have taken that billiards monster....... way to not be cowards.

ok so if we injure them enough to bleed they get devoured. so if we find them in smaller groups injure one and let the other devour his brethren. seems simple enough to me. We gotta get to the storage room.


And why did you let white eyes in....... big mistake there.

[A Very Super Market]

I highly recommend that we do not fondle White Eyes or any of the hostiles.

[Greyblades]

Poor Atheotes, I think these freaks have a grudge againt us for killing their friend in any case If I encounter the hostile who killed atheotes I'm killing the bastard myself whether the group helps or not.

[atheotes]

Avenge my death:bow:
hopefully we have learnt something.
we need bigger groups
people left alone could get transformed
in a group of hostiles, if we cause one to bleed, the others will devour one of their own. we could use this as distraction and strategy if we use a ranged weapon (staple gun in our case). they are busy eating and we have also reduced their numbers...win-win for us.

[Tratorix]

White_Eyes, I'm disappointed in you. :no:

Sorry for not being more helpful, everyone, I've been a bit busy lately. Good luck getting out of here. :bow:

[WilliamWallace]

Does the group have a collective decision on how you are going to get out? Or are you all just working on surviving?

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Does the group have a collective decision on how you are going to get out? Or are you all just working on surviving?

We are trying to figure out how to get out of here, if you haven't noticed there are a whole lot of clues that we have not managed to figure out yet. I figure there is another clue in the cupboard, and the storeroom has to have some gear. Then we can figure some stuff out. Just need time :shrug:

[Chaotix]

Crap, we got wrecked.

That clue in the book about killing the rogues is starting to make a bit more sense now. I also have a feeling that White_eyes may become some sort of leader amongst the Hostiles' ranks since he has been transformed...

[Double A]

Transformed? What, is he a Decepticon now?

And I hope no one missed the injured hostile being eaten by the others.... Seems like they are willing to eat anything. Cannibalistic ghouls, go figure. We can exploit that.... somehow.

Well there are two options. One, we shoot them with staples. Lots and lots of staples. Two, we... use... our ex-friends as bait and then we decapitate them. A lot. And if we see Whitey, we should decapitate him a lot too.

But no matter what, I have a feeling that we should get rid of the dead people's boddies, lest they become like Whitey. Cremation and feed-ation remain open.

[Splitpersonality]

I say we treat these ghoul's victims as we would victims of zombie attacks. Quarantine and at the later stages execution and cremation.

Unless there is another fantasy monster that has an even more easily spread disease, we should treat it as worse case, which is right now in my mind zombification, or faux-zombification as it may be (ghoulification?).

We should watch out for any contact between bodily fluids between the infected, possibly infected, and the healthy.

I'm sure you guys know the rest of the details for zombies yes? If not I'd be glad to explain further.

[Double A]

Real zombies that are scary as hell or the fast ones that MGs eat up like popcorn?

[Greyblades]

Well we could use the carcass in the garden as bait instead of one of our friends.

[Splitpersonality]

Real zombies that are scary as hell or the fast ones that MGs eat up like popcorn?

I'm referring more to the principal means through which the virus is spread, we should treat them as fast zombies, but our lack of MGs make it hard to "eat them up".

Hot dog, we can shoot buildings now?

I feel so useless with my butter knife. At least I'm better off with a shovel too.

So are we out of food or something?

[Chaotix]

You're such a spammer, AVSM. :laugh4:

Yeah, we're pretty much out of food. If we don't find any soon, some of us are gonna start dying...

[atheotes]

what happened to the machete i carried?

Edit: oops... i see that we lost it. maybe look for it in the hallway as you walk to the storage room. it is better than a some of the weapons you guys are carrying.

[Centurion1]

if we find the machete can i have it? i mean really a power drill????? what do you do with a power drill i mean i know its the only electronic "weapon" but dude.......

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

if we find the machete can i have it? i mean really a power drill????? what do you do with a power drill i mean i know its the only electronic "weapon" but dude.......

:shrug: looking a bit too far ahead? The machete was with his body, so it is IN the storeroom.


Plus be happy you do not have nails :whip:

[Centurion1]

yeah i guess. Actually can i have some nails...... i have a secret weapon strategy i want to try out....... zain pm coming your way. Expect nothing short of greatness.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

yeah i guess. Actually can i have some nails...... i have a secret weapon strategy i want to try out....... zain pm coming your way. Expect nothing short of greatness.

yeah go ahead, we are not using them.

[Centurion1]

mwahahaha, i knew i would get a chance to pretend this was battle royale.

[Chaotix]

Also, if we still have a mechanic or techie alive, we might just be able to rig the Staple Gun so it shoots nails instead of staples, as they have very similar mechanisms... although I'm under how much more useful a nail would be than a staple... definitely more aerodynamic, that's for sure.

Either way, we need the Staple Gun this round so we can't do anything with it yet.

Please remember to send me some skeleton orders, so I have a basis with which to create my strategy. Shooting the Hostiles before they transformed definitely worked well last phase.

[Splitpersonality]

A nail would likely do more damage.

more weight and more penetration power behind it.

The mass and velocity would be focused on a single point, which tapers to a flat surface, much like a wedge, which would penetrate better, than two points which immediately becomes the same flat surface, and could possibly (read:90% likely) split bone if used by an accurate marksman (read: We could :daisy: some :daisy: up, if we hit them ghouls right).

Unfortunately I'm NOT sure they can be rigged to do that exactly, as while they have similar mechanisms, they're not identical, and it would be very difficult.

[Askthepizzaguy]

If you want me to be more helpful, I suppose it is time for me to take things a bit more seriously. I'll need a real weapon.

Has anyone read those books we got yet? I'm pretty sure these will contain clues.

I will spend all night reading those books if someone covers my back.

[Splitpersonality]

If we give the books to those that are supposed to be sleeping, we could work on a three guard, three sleep rotation. One guard could be analyzing the books, then trade off with someone who did sleep.

We could work something out at the very least.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Good plan. I also recommend we "examine" every item we have found so far.

If you guys ever played Resident Evil: Code Veronica, often times you would find items that you'd have to inspect 360 degrees to find hidden latches or inscriptions, etc.

It doesn't cost us anything to be thorough

[Chaotix]

More penetration power definitely, but I'd say since these are regular nails vs. industrial-grade staples (presumably several inches long and thicker than normal staples), the staples win in terms of sheer mass.

A projectile that potentially goes directly through a target and out the other end, like a nail, would cause more bleeding, but do relatively less actual damage to tissue than something larger and less aerodynamic, like a staple- the staple would literally tear tissue while the nail would make a puncture hol and not much else.

Additionally, the fact that Zain is working with Hit Points and would probably never go so in-depth kind of means it may not be worth it at all to refit the gun with a limited ammo supply instead of a seemingly limitless supply of staples.

Also, I can't decide if this topic is leaning more towards incredibly interesting or incredibly disturbing.

EDIT: To ATPG- it may cost us time, we we are running short on.

[Splitpersonality]

But the staple would not penetrate deep enough to do what you suspect, mass or not it needs to be more focused in it's point of impact or it will not pierce. Both weapons have their pros and their cons, and I think that ammo count is one to look at.

Staple gun seems fine for now, if we find a nail gun, whoopee!, if not we can stick to holding them down and piercing their :daisy:ing eyeballs with nails for now.


Just looked it up.

The largest size of staple gun staple made is 12mm, in comparison home staples are 8mm long on average, and industrial non staple gun staples can go up to 24mm.

Nail gun nails can be up to 32, and in a special exception 50, mm long with at most a .71mm diameter. They come in gauges and can be larger in diameter, but I doubt we have custom made heavy duty nails...

EDIT

Nails used for fencing can be 3 and 1/3 INCHES in diameter, and can be up to 90 mm. If we had one of those I'd say we'd be pretty okay, but I doubt it.

Do we have ANY carpenters, or craftsmen? They would surely know things about the nail gun if they had it in their possession, and I'm sure Zain could enlighten them in a PM if need be :D

[A Very Super Market]

Most shotguns (Limb-tearing SPAS-12s withstanding) have comparitively poor penetration as well, but the force is enough to shatter bones and destroy organs. In any case, decapitation seems to work the best anyways, so a big knife or enough blunt force should suffice to kill them.

[Splitpersonality]

But it's a staple gun, not a shotgun. The force is different, I believe nails require more force as well becasue they use compressed air as opposed to a spring. We could always try to overload a compressor, not so with a spring.

EDIT
overclock a compressor, oh lord...

[A Very Super Market]

Yes, but the principle is the same. Firing a penetrating nail or impacting staple with the same gun is somewhat similar to firing a lead slug or buckshot.

I hope this counts for discussion... :D

[Chaotix]

split knows way too much about this crap for me to believe it's a normal, healthy interest... :laugh4:

Anyway, this whole conversation reminds me of the nail gun scene from Final Destination 3...

[Splitpersonality]

But a buckshot works on the principal that there are multiple points of impact, and with bullets it also has to do with the composition of the bullets, there ARE bullets designed to mimic a shotgun's spread upon impact, but they are so destructive to the internal organs they are banned from use in the Geneva conventions.

Two points of entry, on a flimsy bent metal, or one solid entry and exit, with possibility if encumbering someone, a nail to the hand which can stick that hand to a leg is a good option no?

Nailgun seems better in my opinion, but time will tell of course...

EDIT

Now if we could USE those nails in an explosive manner, using them as shrapnel... OR the staples for that matter, this is a sound idea for taking out a room of ghouls or infected people.

Problem is, where are we to get a propellant for such an explosive device? Perhaps the storage room will have some gasoline, maybe even gas powered tools, I'm giddy just thinking of the possibilities. Bring me back something nice will you? ;D

Yes Chaotix, I'm a little knowledgeable in the subject area, healthy or not it's useful right now, no? :laugh4:

[Centurion1]

whoa!!!!!! everyone back up the nails are MINE. I gotta a special purpose designed for them...... one i stole from the russians in stalingrad.

[A Very Super Market]

Personally, I don't think there will be much of a difference between the two in Zain's delicate eyes (:clown:).


Kitchen has run out of food. Storage room probably won't have enough to last us too long. Again, I ask, can we eat the bodies of our comrades, or even the fascists hostiles?

I think cannibalism might cause us to go insane faster rather than slower... I have a feeling most would rather starve than eat human flesh. Who knows, though? Worth asking, I guess.

[Splitpersonality]

I'd totally eat human flesh, if we prepared it properly that is >_>

[Centurion1]

it tastes like pork, i mean thats what ive heard.......

[WilliamWallace]

Has anyone read those books we got yet? I'm pretty sure these will contain clues.

I will spend all night reading those books if someone covers my back.


Martin (Cultured Drizzt fan), Eric (Twilightblade), Casey (Double A), and John (Centurion1) entered Hall B in hopes to investigate the Library. They left Casey at the base of the stairs, traveled up; left John at the door of the Library, and Martin and Eric went in to investigate.

What they found was a terribly dirty, very unkempt collection of books, as well as a pair of old recliners and a table with a lamp which had no light bulb. They began looking through the books…

All of the books, every single one, had a blank cover page and spine, and every page was empty except for the last page. All of the books had the same print on the last page, which at the top read, “Clear the rogue and there you see, the light for you, the light for me.” With the last part “the light for me” marked out. Then at the bottom of the page they said, “Brilliance and luck, survivalist’s luck, observed from a higher table.”
“This is very weird…” Eric said to Martin.

“Yeah, tell me about it… what does it mean?”

“Hell if I know! Let’s take one back and see if anyone can figure it out.”

Just then, they heard a scream originate from the bottom of the stairs. They ran out; saw Lester’s team reacting to the screaming as well, coming from the Master Bedroom, and John halfway down the stairs.

When they got down they saw Lorraine lying on the ground with a huge chunk of meat missing from her lower back and an enraged Hostile standing over her staring Casey down. When the seven came down the stairs the Hostile bolted up the hallway towards the Dining Hall…

Martin and Lester carried Lorraine into the Foyer, as the rest of the crew carried their obtained items.

:stare:

[Chaotix]

I'm definitely enjoying the random smiley posts of people not in the game... :laugh4:

[Zain]

I believe he was pointing something out to you players who are missing details every once in a while.

He was the one who brought the cabinets in the Foyer to all of your attention. :bow:

9 1/2 hours until the end of this phase. Cheers :2thumbsup:

the first part could mean killing white_eyes. I have no idea what the second one means. Somehow i feel that understanding that portion is the key to killing white_eyes :juggle2:

[Greyblades]

whoa!!!!!! everyone back up the nails are MINE. I gotta a special purpose designed for them...... one i stole from the russians in stalingrad.

If your going to construct a nail bomb to toss in the storage room dont bother, the last thing we need is for the items down there to be damaged by a home made granade.
I realy dont see what everyone is worried about even if we do run out of food there a 7-10 foot tall decapitated muscle bound carcass sitting right outside the back door, If we run out of food we can spit-roast the :daisy:.

gahhh, guess waiting till I am awake is out of the question.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Alright everyone our battle plan Our war party will make its way to the storeroom, going down the stairs and attacking any hostiles we see with extreme prejudice. Stay very alert, I will be at the groups head, and search for any hiding hostiles ready to pounce out at us. If there are any our heavy weapons will attack. When we reach the storage room door we will form up in a shallow V formation. Left wing will consist of Beskar, Elite Ferret, AVSM, in that order going back. The Right wing will be Greyblades, Double A, and then Centurion, in that order going back. The V's Point will have me, and in the V's center will be Chaotix, along with Atpg, who will guard him during the fight and make sure he is not attacked in melee. We will throw open the door and enter the area, leaving the two men not mentioned to watch the hallway for hostiles. That is Split and Scottish, I would like to say I am doing both of you a favor, but if any hostiles try and sneak up behind us your orders are to hold them off by any means necessary. We will enter the room, me leading, and form the shallow V at our side of the room. Form up and asses situation. I am expecting at least 4 hostiles, if not more. Chaotix will open fire, and we will keep that up while they transform. AS soon as they start moving towards us the melee fighters will charge across the hall, and try and cut the hostiles into two smaller groups. Then keep a strong defensive formation as we try and batter the ghouls to death. If anyone gets taken down we should hit that ghouls as hard as possible to try and free them while the ghoul is distracted. Keep the ghouls back and form grabbing anyone. Use group tactics to gang up on each ghoul, and make sure Chaotix keeps firing on unengaged ghouls. Keep up the assault until every ghouls is dead. at which point dig the keys out of their heads and decapitate them. Then rummage through the store room.
get back in formation and walk deeper into the storage room. Keep our eyes out for any ghouls who may be hiding. Stay on guard, don't get caught unaware. Once we have cleared the whole place out we should then start looking for gear. Priorities go as follow: locked stuff (lockboxes), Weapons, Clues (notes, books ect), Keys, Food, survival gear, misc. grab all we can then call and then carefully make our way to the foyer with our gear, keeping an eye out for ghouls.

Any ghouls sneak up on us Scottish and split should engage, and if that fails then come into the storeroom and try and hold them off at the door.



This should be the basis for most peoples orders. send in orders darn it! :whip:

there stood Hector (White eyes) looking very pale with darkening eyes. His color was still there, an off white, instead of a paper white like the Hostiles.

Early stages of transformation.


He took a bite, and spat it out. “Food tastes terrible now! Why me!?

Now desires human flesh.


escape back through the Foyer door into the hall using supernatural speed…

Not good... neutralize on sight.



Right before Steven reached the door to the Foyer, Daniel’s scream was heard in the back. He dropped his food loot, a pool cue through his chest from the back. The Hostile, grabbed Daniel’s head by the hair and began dragging his body to the Billiards Room.

The other men escaped back into the Foyer, believing Daniel had died instantly. They brought with them pale faces, shakings hands, and 24 units of well deserved food.


More.. transformations... zombie game? :no::no:



Did the kitchen group not send in orders? If they were going by my skeleton orders it would explain why someone died.

Please read my sent pm, :bow:


Also, Is it just me or are their more hostiles?

Methinks the host is reducing numbers. We need to do something, and fast.


The Mansion is growing colder...

^


you guys could have taken that billiards monster....... way to not be cowards.

It guerrilla styled attacked the rear, we were in the assumption that the area was clear already, only now have we confirmed a theory that the monsters come back, the rooms bordering the area were all cleared previously, and the kitchen was but two rooms away...


I also have a feeling that White_eyes may become some sort of leader amongst the Hostiles' ranks since he has been transformed...

Perhaps we have the... pre existing physical power of the ghouls, combined with the intelligence of its "host"?


All of the books, every single one, had a blank cover page and spine, and every page was empty except for the last page. All of the books had the same print on the last page, which at the top read, “Clear the rogue and there you see, the light for you, the light for me.” With the last part “the light for me” marked out. Then at the bottom of the page they said, “Brilliance and luck, survivalist’s luck, observed from a higher table.”

Destroy your enemies and betrayers, and you shall escape? Whatever the case, few will escape and in the end, the mansion will claim nearly all? The luck of the draw depends on the host?


The rest of you lot are sleepers, that is.....


1. Splitpersonality
2. Beefy187
3. Twilightblade
4. Death is yonder

we are pulling out of the bedroom. I still dont trust it. You four get some sleep and keep the doors locked. :whip: none allowed in unless it is a group of at least 4, any less and it may be ghouls. Password as well, it is World War Z. Repeat, password is World War Z :beam:
set up a watch.

So I'll like to inquire, where are we sleeping? Please send in a pm to the 4 of us, thanks.

And who are the guards?

[Splitpersonality]

So I'll like to inquire, where are we sleeping? Please send in a pm to the 4 of us, thanks.


Seconded, where are we sleeping, and we need to discuss the rotation of who sleeps first vs who guards first... As well as how we deal with the books and such.

[taka]

“Brilliance and luck, survivalist’s luck, observed from a higher table.”




They all traveled into the Dining Room and there they observed at least thirty individual dining sets on the table.


:rolleyes2:

[Double A]

Maybe we could eat the blank paper in the books if we run low on food. Worth a shot.

[atheotes]

we have some pesticide. maybe we should spray it on any ghoul we kill... with any luck the ghouls eating the dead one will be poisoned...

[Askthepizzaguy]

Are the pesticide cans explosive? We could blow them up and kill a bunch of ghouls.

[Double A]

They are, but we kinda need fire for that to work.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Would anyone care to rub two sticks together?

[Splitpersonality]

or pressure.

Doesn't need to be fire, just any way we can heat up the pesticide, compressing it would work too.

[Greyblades]

I'm not sure we should be giving the host an excuse to say the explosion destroys everything of value in the store room, or even the blast destroys part of the house and kills half of us.

[Double A]

Or awakens a Balrog.

[Greyblades]

Heck, knowing our luck the chems will make those creatures stronger.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

everyone send in order. We are taking this scum out!


as for sleepers you are in charge of setting up a watch.

[Splitpersonality]

What room are we sleeping in exactly?

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

What room are we sleeping in exactly?

Foyer. only room I really trust at this point. The bedroom still gives me bad feelings.

[Death is yonder]

Edit: Nevermind, CDf beat me to it.

Watch as in cycle our sleeping?

[Splitpersonality]

Seconded, I will begin drafting up my orders in this post... expect them shortly, I would like the other sleepers to use simmilar orders.


EDIT
1. Splitpersonality
2. Beefy187
3. Twilightblade
4. Death is yonder


Sleepers, anyone else staying behind with us? I would prefer someone who is well rested to guard over all of us for a little while...

[Double A]

Maybe the ghoul was hiding under the bed or was invisible for the groups that investigated it?

Also since whitey tour out their jugulars maybe he's a vampire? That's where (real) vampires bite people.

[Death is yonder]

I believe the rest are attacking the store room en masse.

Luck be with us, if we are attacked, the guards might fall.

[A Very Super Market]

I thought he just used his hands. Not his teeth.

[Double A]

He's still in the first stages. Only time will tell. However I don't think it'll matter if we get a flamethrower.

[A Very Super Market]

I thought he went for the jugular because.... well, the neck is rather fragile. It wouldn't be dramatic if he stood there kicking their head for a minute.

[Double A]

Bah!

[Splitpersonality]

As of now, I will be taking first guard duty, who is to switch with me? I will grant you the shovel, so long as you return it.

I think we should separate into watches either two and two, or three guards and one sleeper.

The two-two option offers a quicker resting period in the event of a surprise attack, but the three-one option ensures high security, plus I'm off the assumption that the "day" is long enough to do this? On the other hand, the three-one option gives less sleep to the guards, because there are more guard duties.

I recall something about it being split up into "6 hour gametimes", perhaps we could arrange something like this:

Split + DiY -- First Watch (00.00 --> 03.00) [0 as in 0 hours from the phase start, not midnight]
Beefy + TB -- Second Watch (03.00 --> 06.00)

We'll decide on the weapons and other stuff via pm, and sent the final copy to CDf as well for archiving.

Too many baddies now, this is turning into a parasite style game :sweatdrop:

Can't have important info sitting in public.

I'll send the pms to the other members now :bow:

Edit: CDf, please refer to my pm that will be coming along shortly, I am requisitioning some extra equipment in light of two of our members being dangerously underarmed, and only one sharp implement of sorts, I don't think blunt weapons are going to work very well...

[Askthepizzaguy]

I believe the rules laid out by the host indicate if someone is sleeping, that's their action for the phase. They won't be able to get good sleep and still do a watch for the other half of it.

[Death is yonder]

Zain, if that is the case, please consider the "first watch" guards to be the permanent guards, and the "first watch" sleepers to be the phase-long sleepers.

Swap things round a little... :yes:

Public important info is bad.

[Zain]

For the record, White_eyes:D has been inactive for days now. :juggle2:

[Zain]

Anyway, 6 minutes until the round is over. I have 11/14 orders received, and I'm sure a few who didn't send in orders are sleeping.

There is a 50/50 percent chance a player will die in this next write-up, 25/75 chance two will die, and so on. Good luck! :bow:

[Death is yonder]

Something tells me the Foyer is about to be attacked, either that or the vanguard of the Storage force is about to be picked off. :juggle2:

[atheotes]

For the record, White_eyes:D has been inactive for days now. :juggle2:

I hope that means he is easy kill if we find him....

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Bring it on hostiles. I am waiting. :whip: I really hope they do not go for the foyer.

[Zain]

(I apologize for the shortness of this write-up. Tonight and for the rest of this week, I am crunched for time. :shame:)

Orders for Phase 6 are needed by Friday 15:00 GMT

[Splitpersonality]

Ugh. I was hoping my lack of orders would be interpreted that I wanted to stay with the sleeping group.


Sorry guys, I dropped the ball.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Did I stab them in the eyes with my spoon of doom?

[Zain]

Sorry Split, Random.org called your name.

Plus in the rules it states that if you don't send in orders you do whatever the leader tells you to and because he said you were hanging outside you were attacked by the single Hostile. :bow:

[Chaotix]

Well, that's one less mouth to feed... :clown:

But we really found NO other equipment in the Storeroom? Even though it should be used to... store stuff? I guess food was all that was down there...

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'll take some. And I need sleep too. Those are my orders tonight.

[Zain]

I'll be nice and say "Use the keys!" :laugh4:

Those cabinets in the Foyer aren't there for decorations. :clown:

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

gah, I was expecting more gear as well. :sweatdrop: Food is good I guess, considering we had very little left.

[Splitpersonality]

Who was the leader that said that, might I ask?

Not calling into question anything of your own, the leader should've included me with the sleeping people, as our plan was. No offense if he had other plans he should've said so...

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'll be nice and say "Use the keys!" :laugh4:

Those cabinets in the Foyer aren't there for decorations. :clown:

Gee, I wonder what you might be implying... it's a total mystery.

[Zain]

CDF sent me a PM saying you and Scottishranger were hanging back in the hallway. But that doesn't matter because if you would've sent me a pm it would've supersceded his orders. :bow:

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Note – “Well done, you have made it this far, 13 survivors left. The final 4 will be released. –Master”



SCREW YOU! WE ARE ALL GETTING OUT OF HERE!!!! :furious3::furious3:


also, Maybe I messed up split, sorry. :sweatdrop: You did not die in vain.

[Splitpersonality]

I know, again I'm not trying to cause a ruckus I'm just trying to figure out what happened.


I don't particuarly care that I'm dead, I'm a little peeved I lost my shovel but oh well.


And since I'm dead for reals, I'm a little peeved I didn't get a chance to kill anyone :P

[Zain]

:laugh4: Well as far as I know CDF wanted to you to fight. :shrug:

The next game will be less teamwork and more killing. After ATPG's Resident Evil game I'm sure.

sorry.


also Zain how come I did not end up injured? I basically said I was leading the charge and going to rush in hammer blazing :laugh4::laugh4: But that does not matter, 1 casualty is.... Unacceptable, but we will have to live with it. Let us all thank split for his sacrifice. :bow:

getting late, gonna sleep.

[Splitpersonality]

Well good!

and sorry for missing my orders, but then again it looks like I got more :daisy:'d than anyone else for missing it.


Pick up my shovel at least guys, and cut some ghouls with it.

[Zain]

Almost everyone who has died so far didn't send in orders. :laugh4:

It gets interesting now fellas, be ready for some fun. :beam:

[Greyblades]

SCREW YOU! WE ARE ALL GETTING OUT OF HERE!!!! :furious3::furious3:


also, Maybe I messed up split, sorry. :sweatdrop: You did not die in vain.

Yeah if we can only win when there are 4 people left then I'm torching this frigging house and I'm going to watch all the hostiles roast from the garden. Muahahah!
Actually now that I think about it, Zain what are the garden boundaries made of and how high are they?

[atheotes]

grr...no weapons in the store room



The five men quickly made their way down the stairwell and once they got there they ran into the Storage Room...
Inside, amongst boxes and shelves that could hold pretty much anything they would ever need stood four Hostiles and the injured one that had been attacked.


:whip: bad Zain :whip:

[Death is yonder]

Split, I thought you were with us, going to be safe :embarassed:
