Masks of Nyarlathotep - Chapter 1: New York City

[Toric_Arthendain]

Joe glances at Thomas and manages a weak half-smile and then turns his attention back to the zombies still threatening them. He continues to try to keep the zombies at bay with his spear, attacking any one of them that is near enough to reach.

Hamish steps back, and fires again, grunting at the wound in his shoulder.

After seeing Father Joe down on of the creatures, Shorty gains some confidence and fires point blank into the zombie attacking him. The bullet enters it's chest with a sickening thud.

Professor Carter dazed to see his attacker fall hesitates for a second and then shoots the zombie that Shorty just hit. The right side of it's skull blows apart and it topples backwards into the pit.

Father Joe emboldened by his success stabs at the corpse attacking Hamish but misses.

Hamish fires and misses.

Thomas shoots and hits the one infront of him in the shoulder but it does not even seem to notice it.

The zombie fighting Thomas brings a club like hand across into Thomas' arm. There is a nasty crack of bones breaking and Thomas yells in pain. (6 points of damage). The one fighting Hamish misses with a clumsy grab.

[OOC: Zombie2 and Zombie4 are left. Zombie2 is attacking Hamish and Zombie4 is attacking Thomas]

 

[Festy_Dog]

Hamish curses the miss, reassuring himself it was because of his injury. He fires again, hoping to knock the creature back into the pit like the other one was.

 

[Toric_Arthendain]

With a look of disgust and revulsion, Joe stabs the spear towards the zombie attacking Hamish.

 

[Krug]

Thomas screams in pain and backs off 5' before firing at the zombie, tears flowing from his eyes.

 

[Shapermc]

Shorty, still upset, wonders how everyone is going to survive this. He also wonders what happen to the thing in the pit... is it dead yet?

BAM (he fires again)

Shorty's pistol lets out a loud bang as he fires point blank into the corpse attacking Hamish. A ragged hole appears in it's side. Unfazed the creature turns it's head to stare at Shorty. With half of it's head gone, Shorty swears that it is grinning at him with it's broken jaw.

Carter fires wildly at the Zombie by Hamish. One shot hits and a audible crack of it's spine is followed by it collapsing to the ground.

Father Joe moves to help Thomas and stabs wildy at his attacker missing badly.

Hamish quickly changes targets and shoots at the last zombie but again he misses.

Thomas with his broken left arm held closely to his side moves backwards a step and fires his pistol. A fist sized hole appears in the zombie's neck and it's head falls to it's chest barely attached to his body by ribbons of flesh. Everyone holds their breath as it takes a step forwards and raises its arms to grab at Thomas. It then falls forward and lies unmoving on the ground.

Professor Carter falls to his hands and knees and begins to vommit. Broken sobs can be heard between his retching. Smoke from the gunfire fills the room and with your flashlights the room gains a unearthly appearance. Your ears ring from the gun shots and you feel you heart pounding from the rush of combat.

"What now?" says Thomas, looking tired and confused.

 

[Toric_Arthendain]

"I don't know, Thomas, but your arm doesn't look too good. You need a doctor. If we can't get out of here through the trapdoor, we've gotta start looking for another way."

After speaking to Thomas, Joe walks over to Professor Carter. "Professor, pull yourself together. We've gotta find a way out of here. You've got to be strong now or we're all going to die down here."

Joe will put a reassuring hand on Carter's shoulder and then try to help him to his feet.
