Chapter 11: Surprise Encounter
~Day 1~
August 8th, 2015
11:50:23 A.M.*whispered*"Fuck. Go around or take the chance?"
Look around warily, gripping the rock harder.
Charles stays back, holding onto his rough rock, his only weapon.
Go around it.
"I think if we keep quiet we can avoid it altogether, just like the others. Maybe their hearing isn't so good?"
Begin slowly moving around it.
Meanwhile, Kyle and Jarrod move out of the road and into the grass where they go to bypass the zombie. Jarrod speculates that the zombie has bad hearing.
(Group Stealth (Kyle+Jarrod): 5+3-1 = 7/2 = 3.5)
Kyle doesn't make a sound, but Jarrod tramples over a twig. Jarrod curses and both men duck into the grass. The zombie itself turns in their direction, though whether out of awareness or reflex, they can not tell.
"Just stay quiet.."
Take a large birth, watch for sticks on the ground and ready my axe.
"I think we should take it out."
While two of the survivors stay away from the zombie, Ben and Clair both begin to take position in order to kill it. They nudge forward, Ben avoiding sticks on the road and making sure his Fire Axe is held clearly between his clenched palms.
I have no excuses, man.
Look around to see whether this zombie is a zombie scout or something. Hell, a single zombie just milling about is super suspicious.
(Nah, it's cool. Everyone always has a day or two where they're busy, I understand.)
Mr. Rand looks around, finding it odd that only a single zombie would be around.
[Mr. Rand Perception: 5+1 = 6]
After a quick overview of the area, Rand concludes that this zombie is by itself, at least in the adjacent vicinity.
The group all makes their moves, while the zombie stands near the truck, gurgling to itself with it's dead eyes staring at nothing in particular. Suddenly, a blur of motion darts out of the truck and straight for the zombie. Instantly, something audibly cracks against the back of the zombie's skull. The corpse falls to the ground face-first, laying still as blood drips from the back of it's head. In the midst appears a man not seen before, dressed in regular clothing, but in his hands he carries some sort of assault rifle. He notices the survivor group. They notice him back.
Wulf Ulric has joined the survivor group.Wulf is the first soldier the group has found, though despite being trained for military combat, his skills come from more axillary specialist roles. Wulf's foremost specialty is Explosives, which deal with both creation and usage. This skill covers everything from a simple Molotov Cocktail to Dynamite and C4. He is also trained in Electrical Engineering, which deals with the creation and application of electrical devices. He's also learned Emergency Health, similarly to Ben.
His assault rifle is a L85A2, the standard rifle for the Royal Marines infantry. He also has a Military Utility Knife, a short blade designed for having situational adaptability. Wulf has 3 FS & 3 WS with him.

Also, I try to keep Metagaming out as much as possible, but with meeting new players, you must let them join. I guess all I can say to help is that whenever a new player appears, all the survivors in the group get a "This person is not psychopathic and probably is helpful, " vibe from them.
