Morrus' D20 Modern Game: Strange Happenings in Southampton

The pursuers pause momentarily, snarling. They look at the three men blocking their path, and you see a look of what almost seems to be hunger cross their decayed faces.

The hestiation doesn't last long, however. Within a second, the attackers are upon you, claws rending and broken yellow teeth gnashing. Two of them throw themselves at Richard, falling upon him like a starving hyena falls upon a thrown chunk of meat. Chandler and Imran both find themselves on the receiving end of a single attacker.

A powerful blow sends Richard staggering, fortunately pushing him out of the path of another attacker's claws which merely rip his clothing slightly. The blow strikes him across the temple, leaving a trail of blood as the yellow claws rip through his skin. [4 damage].

Chandler manages to block his attacker, who lunges forward with both arms. [Miss].

Imran finds an attacker falling upon him, its teeth sinking into his harm. He lets out a shout of pain, and rips his arm free, his shirt soaked with blood. The gash is deep. [5 damage].

As he nears the scene, Amir decides against reporting it to the police. "Um... nevermind," he says into his mobile, "my mistake, someone's telly must be too loud." Hanging up, Amir switches the phone for his knife and jumps into the Nazi ghoul on Imran, slicing madly.
 

As he switches off the phone, Amir distantly hears the operator's voice asking, "But sir.. what is that noi....?"

He launches himself at the nazi ghoul, and lands a good, solid slash across its midsection. The ghoul utters a low, moaning sound, but otherwise seems undeterred. There is a horrific, fetid stench, as though Amir had sliced open a corpse.
 

"This is not good." Daniele says, looking down at the woman. "Someone go get a vehicle, we have to get her to a hospital!"

As she speaks, she tries to carry the woman as far from the attackers as possible.
 

Not really sure what to do, Chandler decides to hope these things are as slow and clumsy as in the movies. Tageting the nearest one he gives it a shove as hard as he can, hoping to push it back into one of the others, or at least knock it over.
 

[Sorry for the delay. The boards seem to be prettty much working OK now.]

Daniele drags the taller woman away from the creatures as best she can. Luckily, despite her small size, Daniele is far from weak, and manages to drag the injured woman partway down the street, finding a clear spot some 30 feet from the assailants.

Chandler shoves the nearest attacker, pushing it back slightly. The creature stumbles back slightly, snarling.
