[Gamerboy4life]

You flip a coin. Heads, you go to the town. Tails, you head towards the farm.

It seems tails wins, and you direct your bike onto the dirt road, feeling the bumpy transition from asphalt to dirt. Rocks skitter from underneath the tires, and trees sway menacingly around you, but there is likely not to be any zed this far out in the countryside.

After a bit of riding, you have no way to keep the time, so you estimate it was about an hour or two, you come upon a large house that is in need of a bit of TLC. The white paint upon it's sides is starting to peel, the wooden porch looks rickety and moldy. The grass needed to be cut months ago, and one of the glass windows are broken on the ground level. The house is about two stories tall, and has a roof with a few missing tiles.

You notice that several planks from the porch have been ripped out, and seemingly placed behind the windows as fortification. What's appalling to you, is that you see rotten legs that have broken off in the holes. Eugh.

As you come closer to the house, you see an old junker of a pick-up truck, formerly painted red, but has washed away to a nasty pink-and-rust color. It's old, seeming to be made of a robust steel instead of the cheap plastics they put on cars nowadays. You see a shotgun hanging on the back window.

Do you go into the house, investigate around a bit, or go to the truck?

[mesor]

Take the gun.

[Gamerboy4life]

You jump off your bike, leaning it against the porch as you walk over to the truck. Inside is a shotgun hanging on a rack, with blood covering the driver's seat. Both doors are slightly ajar. You reach in, wrenching the gun off of the rack, and after checking the glovebox, you find a few shells. Five, as a matter of fact. You try to load them into the shotgun, but it appears it's already fully loaded, though you have no idea how many shells it holds.

You head back to the porch with your new shotgun. Should you go inside, or look around a bit more?

[mesor]

Kick the door open, brace shotgun on my forearm and hold my knife in that hand.

[LordBucket]

No, both hands on the shotgun. If it comes to melee, shotguns make perfectly good clubs.

[Gamerboy4life]

You get an idea, and take your knife and your shotgun, and try to hold them together, but it turns out to be too awkward. You stuff the knife in the sheath, and hold the shotgun firmly in two hands. You try to open the door, and push, but find it blocked by something. It must be barricaded.

Damn.

You lift a leg, and push the door open with a mighty BANG! as pieces of wood fall to the ground, rusty nails sticking out awkwardly. Inside, the house is musty, not quite as run down as the outside. The walls are painted a cheery light yellow, with waves carved onto the ceiling, or however they do that fancy effect. The furniture is quite ornate, it seems like mahogany, and quite old. It's a mixture between old posh decorations and plain ones. You wonder how that happened.

On this level, there seems to be a kitchen, which is actually decently-stocked, though some of the perishable items have obviously perished. There's a living room, the foyer-room, where you came in from, and what you suspect to be a bathroom. The door is closed however. There is a set of stairs that lead up, probably to bedrooms.

Suddenly, you hear a thumping that makes you jump a mile. To your left is a small door that probably leads to a bathroom, and you hear banging and faint moans from behind. You grip your shotgun like a vice, wondering what you should do.

[mesor]

Use cricket bat, open door, smash zombies head in.

(( No sense wasting our limited ammo. ))

[Gamerboy4life]

You put the shotgun aside, gripping the trusty cricket bat. This is going to be tough, the hallway is decently narrow.

You open the door as quickly as you can, springing back and raising the bat, bringing it down onto the head of a very large man in overalls. His flesh is mottled and greyish, his teeth yellow, his eyes are a milky white. Something even more unsettling is that he is missing most of his guts.

The zombie gets knocked to the floor with a dull thud, leaving a dent in it's skull. It still twitches, trying to grab your leg, as you bring the bat crashing down once more.

The head breaks like an old watermelon, spilling black blood and brains everywhere, absolutely disgusting. That'll be a hell of a stain.

Now the zombie problem has been dealt with, you retrieve your shotgun from where you set it down, taking a proper look around the kitchen. There are cans of food in the cupboards, plus a bag or two of chips, some candy, and an assortment of other items. It seems like a bit, but isn't very much.

You don't want to check inside the fridge. It probably will smell worse than the re-dead zombie on the floor a few feet away.

What do you do?

[Mr. Palau]

Use cricket bat, open door, smash zombies head in.

(( No sense wasting our limited ammo. ))

[mesor]

Look for a duffel bag or something similar then store all non perishable food in it, also look for bottles and fill them with water then store in the bag.

[Gamerboy4life]

((You already have a backpack.))

You stuff all the food you can into your backpack. You check some cabinets for some bottles, and you manage to find a pair, one looks suspiciously like a whiskey flask, the other looks like a canteen. You go over and try to fill them from the tap, but nothing comes out.

Oh yeah. Water was probably shut off. As is with the rest of the world. Maybe they have a water pump outside somewhere.

Do you want to go outside, or check upstairs?

[GreatWyrmGold]

Check upstairs first.

[mesor]

Upstairs, hold knife and cricket bat, tuck strap shotgun across my chest.

[Teneb]

Upstairs. Use only cricket bat, however. Dual-wielding is harder than it looks.

[mesor]

Not when the second weapon is small and light, but it does limit the ways you can use each weapon.
