~As so often happens when he gets up close with the Dead, Run hears the running commentary in his head from games that seem like centuries ago, "Jimmy Larsson steps up to the plate, he's looking confident, ready. The first ball comes at him, he swings..."
OOC:
For twitch he will dodge the first attack that comes at him - do I need to roll for that now?Knifesedgegames sent a note to Knifesedgegames

Rather than the satisfying crack of the ball making contact with the bat, Run hears the sickening wet thud of the bat collapsing the head of the last standing C.

Claire was frustrated with Teddy, ran up closer to Ham and her dog. Training can only go so far with this many distractions. She whistled him over then signals towards Run. Theodore took off in that direction.

Teddy excitedly growls and jumps around just outside of the reach of the Casualties. You see the grass start to shift and rustle in his direction.
As the mob moves, three Casualties rise back to their feet. Two of them continue with the mob following Teddy and the other has locked on to Run. Ichor gurgles in its throat as it lunges at him.

The growl rises in pitch as the walking corpse goes in for the kill. Caught out of position from his swing and the unsure footing, Run can't manage to get out of reach in time and the Casualty's bony finger tips rake across his chest tearing at his clothes and breaking the skin underneath.
OOC:
So, the natural 3 on the black does 3 Kill damage to and the 9 on the red die sets the location (torso). Normally, this would also lead to a Trauma roll, but since you're immune there's no threat of infection for you.

Instinctually Ham-Bone wants to fire at the corpse tearing at Run's chest, but shooting into a melee is a bad idea. Run is immune. He'll be okay. Better to take out the Casualties before they reach the slugger. Ham-Bone lines up another Casualty in his sights.

As Teddy distracts the walking corpses, Claire carefully advances her position. Attempting to be unheard, the scavenger planned to puncture a casualty's skull with her well maintained combat knife.
OOC:
Think I failed that roll, no surprises lol. Claire wasn't trying to be right behind one, but if she approached without being heard she would then attempt a blind side.Last edited October 27, 2016 9:04 pm

OOC:
so minor note since it doesn't impact the result here. Stealth checks against Casualties can only be done if you have the scent blocker. It doesn't really specify that in the section on fighting zombies. I noticed it when going through the gear section. Scent blocker "allows Stealth rolls against Casualties and Vectors" so that implies you normally can't.Also, I can't seem to find any mechanical benefit to Stealth in this context. Maybe as an ambush at the beginning of a fight, even then I can't seem to find that in the PDF.
As an alternative you could try peeling to further split up the pack. Have some go towards you some towards Teddy.

OOC:
In my head, the stealth was just not to aggro the casualties as I approached. If Teddy is making noise and kiting them, I figured a soft approach from the side would still make an easy ambush. If they see me, she would just peel them. But, I dont know how things work, so its all on you lol.Oct 29, 2016 11:55 am
OOC:
my understanding is that they basically go after the nearest prey based on sight, sound and I guess smell. Really that just impacts who they attack on their turn and who they move toward if not in melee range. Since there's not really damage against casualties, you either kill one with a success or don't with a fail, there's not really a damage bonus for sneak attacks as far as I can tell. A bigger mob is harder to fight in melee than a smaller mob and you guys are faster than the zombies so divide and conquer is a pretty solid strategy. Fair warning though, melee vs casualties unless you're immune or latent is risky business if they damage you, you risk infection.

OOC:
Ah, I see. That clears it up a bit more. So, really, I don't want Claire trying to stab zombies unless needed. I built her with avoiding them in mind anyways. I'll use her to peel the zombies some more then. Oct 30, 2016 8:50 pm

Ham-Bone feels a knot form in his stomach as the two Casualties get within arm's length of Claire. He needs to take one down to give her a fighting chance. He takes extra care to line one up in his sights.
