If you get hit, you roll a d6.  If it's less than or equal to the weapon's impact (Most weapons are I1 or I2) you're dead.  If it's more than that but less than your rep (5) you're knocked down.  If it's more than you're rep you're incapacitated.

Once the battle's over incapacitated figures have to be treated.  Consuming a unit of medical supplies improves the roll to treat them.

[Strife26]

I'm going to ask my newly found chappie if he's aware of any other survivors or items of interest in the area.

[Cthulhu]

So uh, this is kind of my first experience with doing a more involved game on the forum aside from that Dorf-themed D&D game.

This is kind of more of a time investment than I was expecting, especially if I do multiple updates a day.  I'm not saying it's dead or anything, I'm just saying if it's not dead there probably won't be more than one update a day.

[Criptfeind]

Dats fine with me.

[Cthulhu]

Obligatory "See I'm not just making an excuse so I can kill the game without feeling bad" update incoming.

Urban Turn 2:

Jorn continues along his route, entering building 12 and searching it.

Spoiler: Search rolls (click to show/hide)

Weapons(3) Pass, Found(6) A baseball bat.
Ammo(3) Pass, Found 1 Surplus Ammo
Vehicles(6) Fail
Food(1) Pass, Found 1 food

John approaches the zombies, makes an In Sight Check(6,3) and passes 1.  As he is moving, he cannot fire.  The zombies can see him, but speed losses in the ruins means he's still in pretty safe range.

Graham Wants to Charge(6,5) and passes 1, so he charges.  You can't shoot and charge on the same turn, so he doesn't shoot.  That invalidates Khan's orders, and seeing as he's pretty vehement about not shooting, I'll assume he's going to charge also.

Spoiler: Melee Combat (click to show/hide)

One zombie attacks Graham, 2 attack Khan (But he has sidewalk demon so he doesn't suffer penalties)
Graham(5,5) passes 2
Khan(5,6) passes 1
Khan-Zombies(4,1) pass 2 (D:)
Graham Zombie(1) passes 1

Graham wins his combat and(6) knocks the zombie down.

Khan ties with both of his zombies and no injuries are dealt by either side

In case it wasn't apparent, most rolls in this game are done by rolling 2d6 and counting how many are <= the figure's rep.  That's what the pass 1, pass 2 etc stuff is.  Zombies only roll 1 die in melee because they're slow and clumsy.  They become more dangerous in packs.

Spoiler: Turn 2 end (click to show/hide)

---------
Turn 3

Zombies win and both teams may act.

Zombies move through the ruins toward John.  John takes an in-sight test(1,1) and passes 2.  He can choose to fire or not.  Since he tried to fire before I'll assume he wants to now.  He can shoot all he wants seeing as he won't attract zombies with it.

He fires(6+5=11) and hits with a kill roll of 5!  Past six inches, he rolls against his rep instead of the bow impact (Which is 1)  Thwp, headshot! 

The zombies in melee attack, aside from the downed one. 

Spoiler: Melee combat (click to show/hide)

The combatants pair off

Graham(2,3) passes 2
Graham's Zombie(1) passes 2
Khan(1,4) passes 2
Khan's zombie(4) passes 1

Khan and Graham win their combats and (6,2) Graham kills his zombie.

Zombie turn ends.

Khan and Graham may make rep tests (I assume they will) to finish off their zombies(4,5) and both pass.  The zombies are dead.

John can see a zombie and must make an in-sight test(5,4) he passes both and fires his bow(5+5=10), hitting and(3) killing it.

Jorn continues on his path and so does John.

Graham and Khan move toward the exit, because what else is there for them to do?

[spoiler=Turn 3 end]

---------
Turn 4

Only players may move.

Before the movement happens though...  You hear the scream of jet engines in the distance!  A bombing run has started!  In the urban environment, it can only make its run along a road, and it does along the eastmost north-south road, coming in from the south.

Spoiler: Highway to the Dangerzone (click to show/hide)

...How anticlimactic...  No targets, the jet drops its napalm and leaves disappointed.

What do you do?

[Criptfeind]

Well straight up telling us how hard it is for you is way better then just letting it die without a word or false promises.

[Cthulhu]

It's not hard or anything, it's just that if I do more than one update a day I'm going to be investing more time in this than I'm willing to invest.

Since we'll only be doing this once a day, try to have multiple turns in your plan.  If you can account for unexpected results in your plan too that would help a lot.  The better your plans, the more turns I can run in a single update and the faster things will go.

EDIT:  Forgot, Strife.  Elliot went straight for the Wal-Mart and has no idea be in the other buildings.  They're a church and a school though, and neither are sought-after goldmines of resources, so it's safe to say there's not a great chance you'll find survivors.

[Burnt Pies]

I'd like to make my way to building 14, the restaurant. I'll do this through the buildings, searching as I go, and darting across roads in one move if possible, so as to avoid being Napalmed. Any zombies I see, well, I'll have to charge them, firing wildly.

[choobakka]

I'll just fight the zombies near me. Bow, sword, whatever.

[kilakan]

Well since I haven't done it yet, search the police station.

[Criptfeind]

Keep going with the plan. Ignore zombies that are more then say two turns away from me.

[Cthulhu]

Update incoming

Turn 4 continued:

Khan searches the police station.

Spoiler: Search Rolls (click to show/hide)

Weapons(5) Pass: Found(7) Fire Axe
Ammo(4) Pass: +1 surplus ammo
Vehicles(5) Fail
Medicine(1) Pass: +1 medicine
Body Armor(3) Fail

Graham, unable to cross the street in one turn, runs(4,2) passing 2 and moving 16 inches.  He then searches building 12.

Spoiler: Search Rolls (click to show/hide)

Weapons(6) Fail
Ammo(3) Pass, +1 surplus ammo
Vehicles(2) Fail
Food(5) Fail

Jorn enters building 14, the restaurant.  Inside is a survivor, with a 9mm pistol and a club.

Spoiler: Interaction (click to show/hide)

What the(3,4), pass 1, rolls in sight at -1 rep
Survivor In Sight(5,1) pass 1
Jorn In Sight(2,5) pass 2, Jorn goes first
Talk the Talk Jorn(1,6) pass 1
Talk the Talk Survivor(6,6) pass 0
Cooperation(6) Survivor does not join, no loot rolls allowed.

You talk and he isn't hostile but doesn't want to join you either.  He has holed up in the restaurant and lets you pass but doesn't let you loot it.

At this point you can move on or you can attack him if you really want to loot the restaurant.

John heads north and sees(1,5) the last zombie.  He fires an arrow(2+5=7) and misses by a mile!

The invisible Squid that controls the universe uses his last three squares of movement to get him out of the zombie's striking range as a courtesy.  But if the Squid is so benevolent, why did he let zombies take over the world?  Because it's cool.

-------------

Turn 5:  Humans go first, both sides may move.

What do you do?

[Strife26]

Well then, Torvold will declare mission accomplished and exit the map as quickly as possible.

[Cthulhu]

Alright, Torvold and Elliot escape the map with all their hard-earned stuff.

[hachnslay]

on to the waiting list with me!
