~Day 1~

"I'd love to tell you all about how I am a writer but it would seem someone or something is around."
Investigate the noise with my gun at the ready.
"Jeaze, what the fuck was that? Who would even go and break glass these days? too useful intact..."
Look around anxiously, re-bar in one hand, small rock ready to throw in the other.
Be near the center of the group, seeing as I lack a weapon. Oh well.
dive into a firing position in the direction of the sound and ready the weapon for precision shots.
Take into account wind and range
"Damn it."
Ready my axe, approach carefully and stealthily.
Pull out my taser
Pick up next throwable object. Get closer to the rest of the group.
Everyone rushes in different directions. All sorts of weapons are drawn. While the weaponless Jarrod hides in the center of the group, Mr. Rand looks to the ground for a weapon. Hopefully there is something feasibly useful nearby.
[Mr. Rand Luck: 2-1]
[Mr. Rand Dexterity: 4+1]
Mr. Rand goes for a large stick nearby, but takes a blundering stumble when he bends over to pick it up. Thankfully, he manages to recover quickly without taking a bad spill.
Charles and Clair get pull out their armament, while Ben and Kyle both move forward to investigate the crashing noise, making it about twenty-five yards away or so from the rest of the gang. Wulf gets into a kneeling position, pointing his gun towards the area of noise. Ben and Kyle move forward to spot the patch of grass containing fragments of glass. Upon closer inspection, it looked to be some sort of bottle that was thrown....

There is a single loud popping noise from a bit farther in, from one of the many trees. Kyle feels an impact like someone had given him a stiff jab to the gut. His feet are forced to move back as a result of the impact, though he does manage to hold onto his shotgun.
From the same distance in the woods, though from a different angle, Ben also suffers an attack. Before he can move out of the way, something shatters against his right shoulder, additional yellow-ish glass fragments fly off of him, some cutting into his flesh. The attack is hard enough to throw Ben onto his back, his axe getting dropped on the ground during the process.

Wulf realizes that something is going on and looks for a target. During his aiming, he notices movement in the bushes nearby from the corner of his eye. A man with sunglasses, a t-shirt and cargo pants bursts from the shrubbery, wielding a lead pipe in his hands. The instant he pops out, Wulf has pivoted on one knee towards him, while pointing his rifle at the center of the man, and fires. There is another pop, though this one more powerful than the one that occurred seconds before. The muzzle of the rifle flashes and the gun jerks slightly as the man goes flying back into the shrubs.

The 14th Community rushes up to properly join in position with their allies, only for another man in a scraggly beard to ambush them from the vegetation, similarly to what happened in Wulf's situation. He runs at them with a large blade in his hand, but not before Trish and Layla can both draw their pistols on him. He's quick to react though, and makes a dive behind a tree as two bullets fly past him. Omeen grinds to a halt in his run too late to fire shots, his only reaction in the time being to be, "Shit!
Bandits!"

And so, the first fight with other humans begins.
If any of you were wondering how the bandits were able to sneak up on both groups like that, I'd like to note that I roll for every sentient organism (and zombie) that takes action in the game. The bandit each achieved great stealth rolls.
Character Sheets will update with each Injury and list any effects (if they are present).
