New Game, Day 02.
I woke up on the outskirts of a small town. The bunkie was firing her remington off at a small group of zombies, allowing me to fnd her and some shoes. I convinced her to stop talking about her mom or dog or whatever and come with me; probably because Im so pretty. Outside, a nearby triffid grove with a large radius of territory was harrassng the zombies in town, creating a little extra confusion.
Traveling away from the town out into the dark, we looped back to obscure our scent and began moving from house to house. A short dstance down the street I lost track of her as she went shooting zombies in the distance. With her persumed dead, I was on me own, dressed enough to be ‘very cold’ but not dying as I walked.
I spent the night vainly searching this tiny size 3 or 4 town for a working car. Several were dismantled by spitters and soldiers, it was in a garage where I took a moment of respirate and found a rebar. Slowly sharpening the rebar, I creating a working spear from the piece of metal. not long after I finished did a small group of zombies stream into the garage, fleeing from a triffid queen who crushed the walls of the house, forcing me to flee.
Finding dead soldiers, I scavanged their pants and jackets, and plumped up like a child on a cold day, I swashed my way through town until I got to the southernmosty house, a flashlight on a corpse where ants had been fighting zeds, and the rising sun. I crafted during the day, making enough to level my sewing to 1. I fabricated myself the wooden needle, and read 3 level 1 skill books; cooking, driving, and survival. Not the best, but by far a better use of my time than waiting or going outside. I had tried that, and was greeted with a trio of crawling zombies, 2 greenies, and a pair of acidic zombies. Some children chased me inside where I used the acidic pools to kill them despite my poor combat skills.
On the second night I traveled north and east through the center of town, avoiding problems and looting small amounts as permitted by my armor. I saw a lost soul group kill a tank, because despite their lowly status they have high dodge and can do a whooping amount of damage if they hit enough. Up to 15. So figure 1d15 akttack damage, 12 tank armor, 13, 14, 15 3/15 = 20% or 1 in 5 attacks did damage to it, and there were 7 of them. Took a while, but I was looting sheets and curtains for a nearby fire truck I found. Driving off south out fo town, I found an evac center, where I spent the night looting window shades.
In the morning I found triffids in the truck, and I had to rebar them to death. Good to see my skill is now 1 stabby. I took off west, and found a milsepc turret that I ducked around and a second, standard police turret with cars that I plan to bait and swap the truck with its damaged windows out for.
