[QUOTE="Abciximab, post: 5475100, member: 46017"] [CENTER][B]Session 3[/B][/CENTER] Erastus the 24th (Cont). After burning the zombie and resting through the hottest part of the day, we continued to follow the tracks of the Captain and his, for lack of a better word, “Girlfriend”. Further on, we encountered the source of our zombie friend we had just dispatched. In a barren clearing, we found the yellow musk creeper guarded by a number of its zombie minions.

Along this trail Max got caught up in some type of snare trap that snapped him up into a tree where he was impaled upon fiendishly placed spikes.
