[d20 Modern] RESIDENT EVIL: Damnation [PG -17]

Clairemont Mansion

1st Floor – Front Entrance Steps

Maria Moreno

You swing her table leg but in the darkness the only thing that you slam into is the whistling of the air. A slight metallic sound indicates that perhaps the Isaac's car was getting the brunt of that attack.

Yuri Borzakovsky

The marble feels cold in our hands and the grunt that echoes from your mouth echoes in the fear-tinted room. Your boots scuffle over the floor as you hoist that marble table to the door, ready to chuck it at anything that moves.

Amisha Patel

You drag the corpse through the door while Yuri is occupied. Just then you spot the horrible dogs biting and snarling at everyone, one of the latched onto the civilian with the gun. But even as you contemplate that, dropping the corpse with your hand outstretched...suddenly you feel sharp teeth digging in...the liquid feeling of blood sliding over your skin with an indescribable pain and terror of another beast that snuck up behind you.

Michael Smith

Pushing yourself out into the front steps, your worry about your sergeant is suddenly superceded by realization that you walked right into a charging horror...a beast with four legs that swipes sharp teeth against you. But in your hurry to yank yourself away, you leave ragged edges of flesh on your arm.

Jacqueline Nguyen

So occupied with watching you nearly missed the charging dog. Your gasp of shock and reflexive desire for survival throws you to one side as the things teeth barely graze you.

Anders Carlson

With a grunt, you manage to shove the beast off you and get to your feet, but he darkness confuses you. You do hear Maria behind you and the dog salivating in front of you. Your fists go flying and you feel the connection to the flesh that gives way so easily...some even sticking to your fingers.

Isaac Goldstein

The shot rings out and the dog shudders under the assault, but it still hangs on to you. A thick chunk of flesh goes flying and smacks into a white column...leaving a smear of crimson behind as it trails down to the floor.

Isaac fires the other barrel into the creature's neck, trying to destroy the muscles enabling it to bite or to just remove its head from its body.

The sound of a gun blasting overwhelms the noise of the dogs for a second. Maria's ears are filled the noise and because of that, nearly missing what's happening next to her. Anders grunts, the dog howls.

"Anders, did you get up?" Maria asks, whispering. She feels around with her arm, trying to locate Anders. The moment she connects, she grabs Anders, pulling him with her. "Come, fast! The others are in trouble, they must be!" Keeping her grasp on her sarge, Maria starts walking towards the mansion, keeping her club in her other hand.

Yuri's eyes go wide with disbelief as he turns with the table top in his hands to see Smith go barreling back out the front doors.

"Mike! Don't go the f*ck back out there!" he yells. Is he insane? Seeing the dog monster rip into Michael, Yuri raises the table top over his head and with a shout, lunges forward tosses it down onto the dog. Everything else around him is a blur of fury and noise.

"I'm up, Moreno, and the dog's still there," Anders said, "Our eyes haven't adjusted to the darkness yet. I don't intend to stay out here long enough for that to happen though."

Listening to her voice, feeling her touch is reassuring, surprisingly so. Anders shakes off the moment and follows her toward the rest of the group at the doors.

The roar of the shotgun was a celestial choir to Amisha's ears. The dog answering her taunt was almost welcome as well. She grunts against the further pain in her arm, Guess they could give a about rotted meat....

She never had much respect for animals and the treehuggers that protected them. If it didn't have a trigger-finger, that put it lower on the food chain -even if it was already worm food. Exercising military martial arts training, Amisha grabs the animal by the neck, twists around behind it, and attempts to pin it face-first to the wall behind her.

Michael instantly retaliates against his assailant, bringing the club down hard on the four-legged horror that is trying to latch on to him. After this first instinctive action, the sharp pain in his arm and the low thundering of the shotgun return a bit of Michael’s wits to him.

Damnit, it looks like we’ve got out own problems to deal with. It looks like we will have to cleave ourselves a way to the Sergeant and Corporal.

Michael stumbles back a step to get some room for his next swing, and feels the presence of someone behind him. He takes a quick look, and is relieved to find Amisha there. Somehow, her presence always seems to calm him a bit, her steady movements reminding him of his combat training. Relax, stay focused, and wait for an opening. Breathe, and strike. Repeating the mantra seems to help a bit, even though Michael’s movements are still a bit rushed and unsteady.

Somewhere behind him, Michael can hear the Corporal, cursing at him. Without looking away from the dog-like beast before him, Michael retorts: "They’re out there, in the dark, and probably under attack as well. We can’t just leave them there. We have to get to them!"

Almost desperately, Michael shouts out into the darkness again, hoping for any sign of life from Carlson or Moreno. "Sergeant Carlson! Where are you?"

1st Floor – Front Entrance Steps

Yuri Borzakovsky

Your muscles bunch in your arms as you heave the marble over your head, but the marble misses its mark, crashing into the column and breaking into several pieces. You can see a huge gash in the wooden column.

Amisha Patel

Your fingers slip and slide over the bloody flesh of the dog. Unable to get a grip, all you're left with is handfuls of rotting skin on your fingers. Its jaws tighen on you further and a burning sensation begins to flare on your arm.

Michael Smith

Swinging your makeshift weapon, it crashes into the dogs body but the beast refused to die, snapping its jaws at you but you easily dodge its bite. It looks damaged though and you can see it limping slightly. You on the other hand feel something burning on your arm where the dog bit you.

Issac Goldstein

The shotgun explodes into the dog's head and the beast shudders under the barrage, its head exploding into nothingness. Bits of flesh fly into your face, peppering it with red and you even think you can taste some of the foulness in your mouth. Whatever it is, there's a sudden burning sensation on your arm where the animal's maw had been.

Maria, Anders

Your feet take you away from the beast that follows and attacks. Closer to the light you make it only to see a horrible sight greet you, the sight of your friends being eaten alive by the beasts. The remains of one lie at the feet of the detective, a spent shot gun in his hands, blood all over his body.

"Sh*t!" Yuri curses as the tables flies past the dog monster.

He takes several steps back and once again grabs the door, ready to slam it shut.

"Okay, everybody get back inside! Come on, move it!" he sees shadows loom up out of the darkness, hoping that they're the Sarge and Moreno. Weaponless, he can only hope now that everyone can break away and get inside without the creatures getting in too.

Isaac takes a sharp intake of breath when the wound starts to burn. He reloads his shotgun gingerly, trying not to hurt his arm further, as he moves to the nearest dog attacking someone and tries to blow its head off.

"Doggie needs a 12 gauge labotomy!" he says loudly, agitated by the endurance of the foul creatures.
