but the st louis zombies will have better weapons :D

the Game Master says St. Louis it will be for interesting conflicts await there. Theao will have details as the time grows near.

One problem though, we sould have to go out of our way to get there.

we can rp around that im sure

Where are we, already?

Pick a dift. point to cross then... I'm ok with what you suggest for the most part. Most crossings whill be relatively populous though.

If we do go down through St. Louis, then I will have to revise the route.

Pick a dift. city then. The geography of it doesn't really matter to me. What is important is the time frame and the plot which I've already figured out.

Actually, scrap that. All Mississippi crossings were demolished by the National Guard in an attempt to keep the disease quarantined west of the river, with the exception of St. Louis.

Problem solved, revise the route.

Revised if we go through St. Louis

cool stuff, im off to bed, goodnight guys/gals

Why the stop at Ft. Leavenworth?

Why the stop at Ft. Leavenworth?

figured that we could meet up with the character team TAP is crafting there. They are supposed to be army pilots, so, figured it would be the most likely place to find soldiers. After all, the jail there is almost impossible to get into, let alone out.

TAP?

Is the bus moving? Also, should we come up with a seating chart?

No problem, if we get to 70 W, to 55 S, to 64 W, we're in St. Louis, I've driven the route dozens of times.

And the the other crossings would be more difficult, since those are more armed parts of town now, so just imagine in the future.

Is the bus moving? Also, should we come up with a seating chart?

I haven't started it moving yet, and it isn't at the church yet, so I have no idea where everyone is coming from. I was going to drive it over there, but oh well, just assume I drove it over there, and TAp = The American Privateer. It is how he likes to shorten the name, my short version is TLO.

No, let's say it's stopped in front of the church right now. We're waiting for the last member of our party.

Also, TAP= The American Privateer

Do be so kind as to not have a large battle overnight while I'm gone. I already missed one. :)

I need sleep, I had a rough day.

Hey guys, let's have a big battle overnight just to spite Dercson, it serves the sleepy head right.

(sarcasm)

I am with him Regenius, no big battles. especially tomorrow, got a debate clinic all day long.

Look at the last post on the last page. I have work tomorrow morn, so now fights for me tonight.

Good night.

How does the 17 year old girl have the massive stash....?

How does the 17 year old girl have the massive stash....?

not questioning it, just smiling at her massive stash, it's like Aidan's "Magic Bag of Necessity," It can produce whatever it needs.

anyways, 'night everyone, I will see you guys later.

Look at the last post on the last page. I have work tomorrow morn, so now fights for me tonight.

What would you suggest? The zombies set a road block?

I meant no fights, not now fights... my bad.

How does the 17 year old girl have the massive stash....?
She's spent the last six months raiding buildings and carting most of the stuff to the primary stash. She was intending on remaining in/around the city the rest of her life afterall.

I'm out for the night.

This is the chopper team as I see it so far, let me know if this is okay.

Random little question, why are your characters already skilled in their Psionic abilities, TAP/TLO?

Also, the copter team will be susceptible to the disease... just pointing that.

Random little question, why are your characters already skilled in their Psionic abilities, TAP/TLO?

6 months on their own. Aidan discovered it as soon as he recovered, and has been honing it every night for the past six months. The Jaegers just use telepathy, which they originally used just to contact each other. Then started to expand it more.

Also, the copter team will be susceptible to the disease... just pointing that.

It was airborne right? That is how I was understanding it. They just didn't have any abilities manifest after they got it.

I don't know how it's transmitted... Airborne works...but then they should all be dead. We should just get one pilot if they caught the disease... The existence of 4 is a statistical impossibility

This is Ft. Leavenworth

35,420 civillians

695 are police/Fire fighters (2 guys left)
352 are in the medical field (1 guy left)
1,129 in the construction field (3 guys left)

plus an infantry division, two air wing companies, an MP battlaion, and an armor battalion

which equals 19,300. Out of that, 38 men survived.

The prison holds 1,300 inmates (4 guys left)

For a total population of 65 civilians, 1 police officer, 1 fireman, 1 doctor, 3 construction guys, 38 soldiers, and 4 inmates. (Grand total: 113 people left)

Did you read the first post correctly? 99.998% death rate...

Did you read the first post correctly? 99.998% death rate...
99.998% Death Rate + 20,000 People = 2 Survivors
To get 40 survivors, you need 400,000 people.

99.998%*7 Billion people= 14 Million people left on Earth... - those eaten by Zombies= 600,000 (approx.)

The Aussies and Africans would have the best deal of it, Asia would be Infected central.

Remember how the Chinese covered up HIVs? They'd probably quarantine the infected, or the none infected.

Remember how the Chinese covered up HIVs? They'd probably quarantine the infected, or the none infected.
I don't think they'd have the manpower, afterall, each uninfected is out numbered 5,000 to 1(assuming no infected/uninfected deaths due to problems outside the virus)

To Men in Dirty Jockstrap: I believe they have ceased the manufacture of Winchesters earlier this year.

Off to church, be back in about an hour and a half. Theao, If we encounter zombies. Aidan uses his Dragon Mind and Garand (Mettalic Clangs would be heard), and Damien would use his Repeater till they get to close. If they get back, before I do, have them start working on the ram and the ramparts on top of the bus.

Alright

I'll probably be on for another hour or maybe 2, if something happens after i log off, he would use the sawn-off and the rapier, only in relatively close combat obviously, much else would just waste ammo. His psychic powers would give him more energy, so he could run faster/longer, carry more or something along those lines.

So, if you don't mind, would you be able to cover that?

Si.

I probably won't be one for that long, but if a fight erupts, and I'm not here, Sloan is practiced in bata and le canne, Irish and French stick fighting (would impale and/or knock around zombies). He also grabs what he can, for melees.

Heh, at this rate, soon it will just be Theao rping every character :p

Less confusion that way. ;)

Heh, at this rate, soon it will just be Theao rping every character :p

When no one else is here that is. Oh well, back with a vengence. If we come across a zombie, gonna have Aidan use something new. Fire Wrapping. That way he can send flaming bullets of doom at the zombies.

Got to go for now. Will still be walking towards bus.

Damien and Aidan will need assistance with the bus.

They need

1. Some one to assist with hauling the logs over to the Bus, where they will be attaching them to the sides of the bus.

2. Someone to assist with the fixing of the Logs to the bus.

3. Some one to assist with hauling the car hoods onto the roof

4. Some one to assist with hacking out a door on the roof, along with building a ladder up to said roof.

If you guys are still going to St. Louis, I've got a character (actually, two) which, if you'll let me, I could introduce into the story.

Weight: 157 lbs
Gender: Male
Hair Color/Style: Brown, parted down middle and combed to the sides, about ear length

Pre-Outbreak Occupation: Highway Patrolman
Surviving Family: Has had intermittent ham radio contact with his wife in Porum, Oklahoma where she was vacationing at the time of the outbreak

I know it will be some time until you reach St. Louis, but I can't think of a way to fit them into the story at this point.

Unfortunately it's closed to new members.

If you move your characters to somewhere on/near the Pacific side of the Mississippi(which should, everyone/thing permitting be happening close to saturday), then you'll be able to appeal to Regenius but otherwise I'm restricted by his words.

Listen, I just thought I should let you know, that my dog just died a couple days ago, and I'm going through a rough breakup. I'm really not up for this for a couple days. If you'd be willing to RP my characters, (wolf and Harrison), I'll try to make it back by Saturday, but right now I'd just like to drink my sorrows away.

I'll try to come up with a new character to meet the group in the near future.

Dude, that sucks. My prayers and sympathies go with you man.

Like TAP said, that bites. Not to be insensitive can people start posting?

Reg will be returning soon and had things run according to plan, we'd be around the Miss by now.

Alright guys, I've had my time to drink my sorrows away, for now...I'll be here tonight (Even though I will be drinking in the interim).

Through St. Louis, I say we go take the downtown bridge past the Arch (good dramatic effect), which will have us on I-64 (US-40) to I-170 (through the rich areas of St. Louis), to I-70 which will take us west to Denver, unless anyone else has a good plan, like I-44, which will take us through a whole different economic class. Either way we have to drive past Busch Stadium (Capacity 44K I think), which was all infected, and would be a good rally point for the zombies. I think that we could get stranded in Forest Park (St. Louis' park that is actually larger than Central Park), and have a decent battle there.

Should anyone object to these characters, tell me...otherwise I'll intro them in STL. Also these characters are not solely mine, you are all welcome to RP them. Harrison is the only character I really want to RP solely, and the wolf I want to RP mostly, but for him, just ask me.

hey, i'm not in on this RP, but i'd just like to throw in the fact that 64% of Americans are overweight/obese. So if this is an post-apocalyptic America, expect to see lotsa fat zombies.

Overweight when you average all humans. I myself am underweight due to a lack of hunger.

LOL, that will be funny to see, a massive zombie chasing after us for all it's worth. I can jsut see Aidan stopping his bioke and firing an arrow through it's belly, just because he knows he can't miss.

errr.... not sure what you mean, but.. ok.

They counted the number of overweight/obese adults in America there are and comparing it to the population in America.

I'm Back!

Now, straight to business.

Free Tulsa: Your Chars are in if you're still interested.

Reformed Salt: Sorry to hear about your dog. Man that sucks. On the subject of your chars though, they're fine by me.

Theao: Good work! I'm a little sad that they haven't really gone anywhere yet though...

Welcome back, unfortunately i won't be here for most of tonight, if anything happens just have me following along.

Bad news that I probably should have mentioned before... I'm going to France for 2 weeks on Wednesday.

Same plan as before, but we'll give TAP/TLO a chance at being GM. In the event that TLOTAP can not fulfill his duties, Theao will take control again. Theao can fill you in on the plan if we haven't made it to the Miss yet. If we have, it's at your discretion.

So it is known, the vehicle I am currently in is used for the transportation of cars for sale.

Theao, I will need you to take over tonight and next saturday, but I can do it for most of the rest of the week

Theao, I will need you to take over tonight and next saturday, but I can do it for most of the rest of the week
I'll take over next Saturday, but until Wensday Reg will still be here(or at least that's how I read it.)

Yea, Theao's got the right idea. You become GM Wednesday afternoon around 3 o'clock EST.

Hey Spiral, why is your char so random?

Think about what has just happened in the world. His large monentary resources are almost useless, with the exception of use in automated machine, and delivery devices.

And paper money is useful for only about one things: Fire starting.
And most delievery services/devices still need people to do the delievering and there ain't that many people left and I seriously doubt those remaining are that loyal to thier former job.

They've created a virus that killed 99.9% of the species, they've definintly created automatic machines for warehouses, and certain vehicles. His majority of money it in bank accounts,a nd as long as he deposits any remaing cash, he can get continued access to certain things.

It's 99.998(just to be precise, as your figure increases the rate of survival from 1/5000 to 1/100)

Also I can't think of any goverment or corperation for that matter that would be so moronic to create automated/driverless vehicles. Can you spell accidents, law suits, hell of a mess?

Wonderful thing, lobbyists.

Even they can only do so much. I'm leaving it up to Reg, but I personally think it's unrealistic(even in this type of context). I'd put this kind of tech to at least late PMT myself.

Yeah... It seems to me that he's really just tagging along doing his own thing, and is never quite on topic... Maybe you could bring his head out of the clouds?

Know one else is around, what am I supposed to do?

Make him have insightful character quality revealing thoughts. Shine a light on his actual past for us. Strike up a pertinent conversation with another party member...

Any of those things work.

How heavy is the crate you want him to move? He might, but maybe not.

500 Pounds maybe... he can ask for help if he needs it.

Kitab, the container holds two types of explosives. The Dynamite, and then sealed metal containers labeled RDX. Ask IC if you want info about the RDX.

Ill go edit my post

This is a warehouse, he can use the forkilft.

I'll be gone for about an hour and a half, gotta get to church, Regenius, take care of my guys for me.

If you want to know why the priest knows, ask him... *wink wink*

Ah, brings a whole new meaning to bible bashers :p

Close but no cigar... His full title would be Col. Charles O'Betts, US Army Special Forces Ret. He was a crazy hardcore military man before retiring and becoming a man of the cloth to redeem his soul (at least in his own eyes). How did you think he had managed to live so long as a doddering old priest.

When Alina discovers this, she is gonna freak. Another member of that band of brothers that is forged by war.

You caan watch her back anytime

Yea, have her ask IC-ly about his past or summat like that. She could discover it tonight... Ask about his uncanny aim...

I will have her do that, will be fun :D

Hey, Reg, Did you ever okay free tulsa's joining? He has his introductory post up.

Yea, I said it was ok, I hadn't intended for him to post quite yet though.

One thing though Tulsa... Could you use paragraphs next time?

Reg, is the bus one of the kind that have toilets?

Yes indeed it is.

Yes indeed it is.
Yay, no need for a portapotty and a trail of leavings.

Yes indeed it is.

Built in toilets. One of the many joys of Touring buses. Along with TV's, lights, and comfy seats. Just make sure you don't go number two, we will have to smell it the entire rest of the trip. Trust me on that one, it isn't pleasent.

Burn it.

Burn it.

Very good suggestion. I am surprised my BSA Troop didn't think of that. We liked fire. We liked Fire a whole lot.:D

Hey, I just got back from BSA Summer Camp. I'm Life right now, and I'm SPL of my Troop. (Troop 106, Arlington VA)

Hey, I just got back from BSA Summer Camp. I'm Life right now, and I'm SPL of my Troop. (Troop 106, Arlington VA)

I am also life, working on my eagle project. I WAS SPL, but now the year's over, and my heir is now SPL. However, I'm still feared, therefore, I still have the power. :D

Yea, the Eagle Project is a couple months off for me. Trying to finish off the merit badges right now. I need five more...

Heh. I need three yet, but they're easy.

However, I'm 16, so I have to start busting ass. :)

I'm about to turn 17, so I'm in worse shape than you... Still, I plan to finish before January.

I'm about to turn 17, so I'm in worse shape than you... Still, I plan to finish before January.

Yar. good luck.

It's a small world. Troop 516, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. My grandfather's Scoutmaster, so there's no small pressure to hurry up and get my Swimming merit badge so I'll have all my Eagle-requireds.

You could do hiking or cycling alternatively...

Still, did you see my post about paragraphs? It would be really nice if you could use paragraphs in your next post. I like the diction and the style, just the syntax of it made my eyes hurt.

Sorry about leaving out paragraphs. It was getting into the wee hours of morning and the part of my brain dedicated to remembering things learned in English class wasn't functioning.

It's ok. Just make sure to keep that in mind for next time.

How far away is the zombie, just to give Damien a good idea.

Far enough away that it isn't a problem, just incentive to leave.

Guys, please stay active while I'm gone. Don't let the thread die!

I'll be back in 2 weeks.

Later!

Just out of curiosity, is it too late for me to join? I'd like a vehicle of some sort (preferrably a jeep wrangler) and a gun. Is that asking too much?

'fraid not. OP said no more, sorry. If you beg and plead, you might have a chance in hell. Maybe.

Meh, I came too late. I guess I'm one of the dead masses now, eh?

Yes. You may in fact have been the one chopped in half or riddled with lead a few pages back. :p

HAHA! I finally have power and internet back consistently! I had no power for four days, and my internet has been sporadic at best since but, I'm back.

Well, bad news all. I feel this RP is, tragically, dead. Anyone still interested in playing though can voice their desire here.

Tagitty tag. This looks awesome. TG me if you have an opening.

If the main guys here are willing to keep going, I am.

Yay! A halolover. :D

if people will continue it, i'm around.

Likewise.

All right then. That's enough people for me. Sooo, let's get this show on the road.

Here, I'll post my characters stats:

Name: Jack Bradley
Age: 28
Hair: Silver
Eyes: Grey
Height: 6'
Build: Lean, muscular
Equipment: 12 guage shotgun, 16" Knife, 50 shells
Psionic Power: Techno-Kinetic
Pre-Virus Job: Electrical worker
Bio: Born to parents just as they were about to get divorced, Jack helped reunite the family. He played football and was a track star up until the outbreak. He was at a family reunion when the outbreak hit the town. He had to kill most of his zombified family, and it left him scarred and stripped of a conscience. He has no problems killing anyone to let his remaining family survive.

Name: Janet Bradley
Age:26
Hair:Red
Eyes:Red
Height:6'3"
Build:Athletic
Equipment: 30.06 w/ammo, 10" Knife, bus
Psionic Power: Techno-kinetic
Pre-Virus Job: Mechanic
Bio:Living, unlike the other Bradleys, in Dallas, she was on her way to the second day of the reunion when the virus hit. She crashed into a bus, but amzingly survived. She repaired the bus and has been driving it ever since. She has, with the help of her brothers, turned the bus into a steel fortress, and has added another section. Unlike her brothers, she does have a conscience, and does not like to see any living thing die.

Name: Jay Bradley
Age:24
Hair:Blonde
Eyes:Yellow
Height:6' 5"
Build:Very muscular, slightly fat
Equipment: Two 9mm pistols w/ammo, Two 20 gauge shotguns, 14" knife, basterd sword
Psionic Power: Techno-kinetic
Pre-Virus job: Worked at a gun store while he looked for a job as a computer technician.
Bio: Jay was the favored of the three, always getting whatever he wanted. The outbreak changed him. He hardened inside, and became an impenetrable shell of non-emotion. He rarely smiles, and hasn't laughed since the start of the outbreak. He plays video games a lot, and he designed the computer that runs the Bus. While he would have some small doubts about killing children, anything else is fair game.


The Bus
The Bus is a fortress on wheels, with 3" steel from tanks captured from a military base, several turrets on top, a rotatable missile turret, a computer core that runs an array of sensors, and can play games from any game system, including PC and Mac. It can also go underwater, and has several compartments meant for refrigeration. It is undeniably cool.

How do they look?

Frankly, they look a litle bare bones... Flesh it out a little, give us some background on the family. One more try and I think you're in.

How are they now?

Yay! A halolover. :D
Woot!

The characters are fine, but the Bus is a little over the top. For their entry into the rp though, it could break down and they could be on the side of the road when we pass in our regular non crazy bus.

btw, En Taro Adun!

Yeah, I though about having a mechanical failure with the Bus. Yeah, that seems right. Can I start now? I will anyways.

What is a techno-kinetic?

It means they control machinery and electronics with their mind.

Yes you can start, but I probably won't have a sizable post up until tomorrow postnoon. I need my beauty sleep, and then I have to purchase a new power supply for my new computer. The old one was fried when a construction worker overloaded the circuit and killed the breaker :( . Wish me luck on fixing the problem!

A person who controls technology with their mind. How else do you think they were able to build the Bus?

Welding torches, twelve gauge wire, and a hell of a lot of duct tape.

Also I don't think the majority of tech is still functioning, as I'm pretty sure the majority of power has been down for almost the entire time since the Infection.

Power doesn't matter. The technology, after a while, begins to respond to them like the tech was alive. And, they could make the tech function.

Remember though, they're supposed to just be discovering their powers, and they get better with time.

Probably how a mechanical fault could stop their battle bus, with those powers it sounds like they could just keep it going anyway if they were skilled enough.

They are. They can't like, build super-ultimate battle suits with highly advanced shields and jetpacks with quantum generators. Yet.

hmm... posting has slowed again. Are you gonna post Grunts?

I was waiting for you to make the reasonably sized post you mentioned earlier. i could go reply to Theao.

I was going to, but my mom kicked me off the computer.

hmm... posting has slowed again. Are you gonna post Grunts?

I would, but I sliced up my left hand, and since I'm left-handed, I can't type well.

It's taking me a rediculous amount of effort just to put this up, so no post from me tonight. :D

Hope it recovers as well/quick as possible/doesn't get infected.

Also, I think you're logged into the wrong account.

No, I am not G&E. I was simply stating I wouldn't be able to post, as simple sentences can take me excricuatingly long to type. I mean, I CAN post, it just takes me forever just to do something like this.

And thanks for the hope. :D

Ah, apologise for the assumption then. Since you're down a hand I'll wish you the best and leave it at that, rather than engage you in further conversation.

It ain't THAT bad, it's just a nuisance beyond any reason. :) I'm not dying, or anything. :D

TAP here. For some reason I am stuck logged on as my Brother's account and we can't get it to log him out. So, for a little while I will be posting under NN's account, but in a quote box. Sorry for any confusion this generates.

Interesting coincidence Niall...

Two Things:

1. G&E, please use paragraphs in you next post, I beg of you.

2. Good Night everyone, talk to you in the morning.

I know. How is that an interesting coincidence?

Don't worry about it, it's really random...

I know. How is that an interesting coincidence?

I just shrugged it off. I was lucky :rolleyes: enough to get my brother to log on and get stuck so...

Wrap up your introductions so that we can get a move on!

Yeah, alright, let's go, come on let's go, hey, some one needs to post.

Aye, but be patient young Padawan. The "bus" has to come back to the bus. all your people have to meet all the others. Then, we can proceed.

I need TAP and the other person on the radio to respond.
I'll be off for a few hours.

There is no such thing as coincidences....

;)

Reginus, you need to put my chracters on the first page with the others.

Good Point, and if you look slightly to the left of this post, you'll see that my name is, in fact, Regenius...

OOC: sorry for not posting

Car has not been working and the net has been ion the blink (stupid Wireless network)

I should probably mention that i'm in Brazil at the moment and will be for the next two weeks or so. I'm not sure if i'm going to manage to be online much, my charachter will just follow you lot around, someone can use him if they want.

Nothing happens until you get on the highway. I'll be on intermittently tomorrow, but by intermittently, I mean I'll check in about every hour. So, that's about it.

I figured an Oragami crane would be the perfect tool to practice with

If any one asks IC why Alina decided to use the Locket, I will explain. Just know that just like with Aidan, I love to put something to pull at the heartstrings of who ever is reading. So expect Alina to reminesce about a loved one when asked.

I wish your chars were less comfortable with their powers than they are. It seems like they're the mentors now because of it, and everyone else is just learning from them instead of individually coming to terms with their powers. Still, whatevs... Just the GM ranting.

BTw, I believe it's time that we reached the highway Mr. TLO. Would you like to set the scene, or should I?

Sure go ahead

as for the comfort in their powers, it has been six months

that is plenty of time

Aidan has been hunting the beasts, killing as many of them as he can, and is used to them because he has had to use his "Dragonmind" to keep himself alive at times. Plus, he has always wished he had pyrokenisis. So when he discovered he could do it, he started jumping up and down. He thinks that it was a cause of his meditating and stuff, rather then the virus.

and as for Alina and Damien, they stopped communicating by mouth about the time they discovered they could communicate by thought. I will delve deeper into their pasts if asked in the IC thread.

I'll have them butt out more. I just thought Kara was someone who needed the help coming to grips, what with her totall disbelief, if they can make her start to believe it is possible, then she will come to terms with it on her own.

As a wise man once said, "If a person is lost, lead them to the path." Though he did also say, "You may be able to lead the person to the path, wether or not they walk it is up to them."

I was trying to convince Kara a bit aswell, shes stubborn :p

Or, more recentely from the Matrix "I can only show you door, but you must open it" or something like that.

I think i'll leave Mark conked out, after tonight i'm going to be incomunicado till sunday evening, maybe until monday morning. It was also a conveniant way to show the awakening of his powers.

If something happens and for whatever reason they have to leave the bus, don't leave me behind, or if you do, leave me some directions for when i wake up, and close the door :p

I'm heading to the beach on Saturday. I don't know if I'll be able to use the interweb while I'm there either. In my absence Theao is Temp GM.

Regenius, what is going to happen on the Highway? If you could TG me with the details so that I can have Aidan spot it first (the whole reason I had him keep his bike, to be a fast scout guy) that would be great.

Just in case anyone was wondering what I meant in my earlier post (in the IC thread) when I said "the four other people in the building" here's what I meant:
person 1 - Mitchel Runnels
persons 2 and 3 - the other two characters that will be added in St. Louis, the little boy and the young woman
person 4 - an elderly man who has barricaded himself in the cinema section of the Arch visitor's center, who may or may not be killed in order to advance the plot ;)

Any idea what Aidan can expect as he rides acros the bridge?

No zombies on the bridge, but if he cuts his bike motor, he'll here a low rumbling in the distance, and all the zombies we see will be heading towards it.

I'm going to assume I sent the distress call, but my post leaves the subject of the radio deliberately vague in case I'm wrong.

No, it's supposed to be your guys, or an NPC with your guys.

Woah... I thought we were farther from the crossing then we really are. Still don't kill all the zombs. There's gonna be a boss (one of the intelligent zombies) that our chars have to deal with.

I am going to be at a major concert all weekend, Regenius, if you or Theao could take over for me during that time, that would be awesome.

Yeah, my three days of rocking out are over, I will post on the IC thread sometime after I wake up.

Details about the zombie... It's 12 feet tall, over muscled, immune to bullets, and has a fire resistant exterior. It's also smart, and will try to efficiently kill you. Figure out how to kill it! I'll set the scene for you, and RP the zombies, and my chars won't intervene until you guys are stumped, but yea, go for it.

So it's That one?

Yea, :D

TG Reg

Replied

BTW, I said he was immune to fire, not electricity. If the wires hit the blood on the bridge (blood is a conductor), he's fried, as are his little zombie buddies, plus anyone unfortunate enough to be standing on the bridge...

Ok, this thread is dead by a long time.
