Bacon Scrap Sanctuary Recon

Claire, not wanting to knock on the front door, slowly slips around to see the backside of the building.

Ham-Bone follows Claire to the back of the building, keeping an eye open any movement.

Claire and Ham Bone turn the corner to see the back of the building and see...a lone Casualty wandering through the field between the office and the warehouse building.

At the back of the building there is a door that is intact. There are also two garage doors on this side of the building. Both of the doors are down.

Claire makes no sound, but motions her hands at the lone Causality. She pokes her head around some more.

As he sees the others tense, Loan just presses himself against the front of the office, assuming the more competent members of the party will be able to handle whatever it is around the corner.

Meanwhile, back at the front, keeping to the side of the front door, Run taps "Shave and a haircut" on it with his bat.

Claire and Ham:All three doors appear to be intact, undamaged, and closed securely. Looking across the compound and past the Casualty, Claire can see that a second section of the wall has been destroyed near the warehouse. The gap looks to be about the same size as the one through which you came, the dispersed mud path appears to reform as it leads through the wall and away from the Sanctuary. The zombie is far enough away that you can easily avoid it if you don't engage it.

Shark and Run: You step cautiously past the corpses and get close enough to hear the voice clearly. It is an old woman wailing-- a chilling mix of pain, panic and grief. Noooo!........Jimmy don't gooo!.......I'm sorry! There is a peculiar pause between her sentences and you hear a few slow thuds before she begins again, Noooo!........Jimmy don't gooo!.......I'm sorry!

Run's Shave and a Haircut results in some rustling from within the office, but the woman continues. Through the door way, you can tell that the carnage continues inside

Ham-Bone nods toward the closest door so Claire knows what he is up to and then tests to see if it is locked.

All three doors are locked.

Ham-Bone's misspent youth has come in handy after the Crash. He crouches over the door handle and attempts to pick the lock.

Clearly, this lock was only intended to keep out mindless zombies. Ham Bone manages to jimmy it open without much trouble. The door cracks opens slightly revealing a hallway that leads to the front of the building. There are several doors along the left side of the hallway. Steel bars separate the end of the hallway from the reception area at the front of the building. In the hallway are five Casualties, the nearest one is two shambles away, the rest have shuffled toward the bars and Run's Shave and a Haircut.

Now that the door is open, you can clearly hear the woman's words now too.

Run remains at the front door, waiting for word from the others and keeping an eye out.

Although not unexpected, Ham-Bone's stomach clenches upon seeing the Cs inside. Lowering his rifle, he takes aim at the nearest of the them.
