Masks of Nyarlathotep - Chapter 1: New York City

[Yellow Sign]

The Situation

Currently the group in is the corridor which leads from the trapdoor to the chamber. Thomas is by the trap door at the top of a set of stairs. Shorty and Hamish are behind him in the corridor. Behind them are Carter and Father Joe who are by the open door to the chamber. The corpses are walking out of a alcove across the room from the door way to the corridor. Several bodies of cultists lay on the ground infront of the doorway and in the chamber. One or two are moaning slightly. There is also a 8 foot diameter pit in the middle of the chamber. Smoke curls out of the hole and a faint wimpering can be heard from down in the hole.

Init:
Shorty 21
Carter 14
Father Joe 10
Hamish 9
Thomas 8
Zombies 2

[OOC:Just a quick note for those with pistols. The guns you have can multifire if you use a full attack action. That will give you an extra shot that round but at a -4 to hit with both your attacks. So have some crunchy zombie loving fun guys. Oh PS. For targeting purposes the zombies are numbered from left to right zombie1, zombie2, zombie3, and zombie4]

"What in the heavens...", Thomas fires at zombie1. He wishes he was serving drinks back at the restaurant now.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Hamish's jaw drops then hurriedly closes when he tastes the stench of the dead. He feels like vomiting but manages to level his weapon with the closest one and let off a round at it.

 

[Shapermc]

"Friggin.... ARGHHH!" Shorty shouts as he closes 1/2 the distance between him and the ... things. He then takes aim and fires untill his gun is empty. Then reloads and proceeds to do it again. If any get too close he will punch them with the brass knuckles.

 

[Yellow Sign]

Shorty runs into the chamber and fires his gun at the closest corpse but he trips on one of the bodies on the ground and his aim is spoiled. The shot hits the opposite wall.

Carter steps into the room and levels is Colt revolver and fires. A ragged hole appears in the first corpses chest. Bits of rotting meat splatter about and the creature keeps on walking forwards.

Hamish steps next to this bother and fires from the hip. The second zombie's head explodes throwing bone and brain in a abstract pattern on the wall behind it. The corpse staggers for a second and then continues it's shambling march.

Thomas steps up and fires but due to his haste and shaking hand the shot misses.

The corpses move forwards. One (zombie1) swings a heavy arm which catches Professor Carter on the head. Blood begins to pour from a cut in his scalp. (6 points of damage). The one with the ruined head (zombie2) grabs for Hamish and it's boney fingers dig deep into his shoulder (3 points of damage) before Hamish can pull away. Shorty and Thomas are able to duck under the swings of the other two creatures (zombie3 and zombie4).

Father Joe seeing a opening attacks the corpse who hit Professor Carter but the spear misses it's mark in the confusion of the fight.

 

[Krug]

Thomas fires at the zombie directly facing him.

 

[Toric_Arthendain]

Joe will try to keep the zombies at bay with his spear, while trying to hold back the rising fear he feels at their situation. If close enough, he will attack a zombie again with the spear.

 

[Shapermc]

(You know what shorty is doing )

[OOC: I am going to go ahead and run the turn. I don't think Hamish is going to do anything other than blast away at the zombie attacking him.]

Init:
Shorty 21
Carter 14
Father Joe 10
Hamish 9
Thomas 8
Zombies 2

Shorty fires again but a bump from the zombie3's arm spoils his aim.

Professor Carter reeling from the blow to his head fires wildly at the rotting corpse infront of him (zombie1). One of his shots tears into the thing's shoulder and it's arm hangs limp at it's side.

Father Joes stabs again at the corpse attacking Professor Carter. His spear strikes true and digs deep into it's chest. The corpse staggers and then falls a pile of lifeless flesh. (max damage with the spear)

Hamish fires into the zombie2's belly but it seems not to notice.

Thomas levels his pistol and blasts a ragged hole in the zombie4's chest. It keeps attacking though.

The three corpses attack but everyone evades their clumsy blows.

[OOC: zombie1 is down, zombie2 and zombie4 are hurt, zombie3 is untouched.]

 

[Krug]

"Die damn you... die!" says Thomas, shooting again. He looks at the Father. "Nice hit Father!"
