After find a house with a few others, Etc. looks around near the B&B... no one hurt and thinks to herself *that's good but I'm just a weakling and not much use without someone to mend* As she searches nearby, she kicks the ground. A bit of dirt and a few pebbles get knocked away. *she eyes Wildmaven's robe*

[wildmaven]

The knife debate didn't concern wildmaven, as she had already headed out, foolishly it seemed, to the West. With just her fists. No knife. Nada. She was doomed. A chill spread up her back and she thought about turning around. But it was better out there, now that Etc wasn't oggling her anymore

[Adam]

Adam emerges from the kitchen the next morning and offers some rations he just made to the group's stock. "These are special, and they are fresh." He waits and watches to see if anyone is hungry enough to eat his food.

With a wild-eyed glance to Etc, a thin smile, and a few eyebrow raises, he goes back over to the old man's corpse and lifts up one of his limp legs. He yanks at it with a grunt and stumbles backwards as the leg pops right out of the socket. "Oh, wow. So tender." Adam disappears back into the kitchen.

[Nick]

Nick, sitting at one of the tables after the group's breakfast, looks around at the the rest of the people. Did no one even consider his words yesterday? Already the others eye each other, avarice plain upon their faces.

"We must work together. By now it is obvious that people found things yesterday. For the good of the group, I think we should divvy the items that are found each day according to whom is best suited for their use."

Nick looks each person in the eyes in an attempt to gauge their reactions.

"Not only that, but we should get organized. Let's split the group according to our abilities. For instance, those good at combat should be scouting. People good at first aid should accompany them. Anyone not in one of these two groups should be searching for items to expand the capabilities of the group as a whole. Lastly, we should split ourselves accordingly at night."

With that, he lays out his plan for the organization of the group:

I'm going to go ahead and assume we know each other's skills.

Scouting:
Pat / Phaelyn / Nick
Ren / Crow / Etc.

Searching for loot:
Alex / Pepper (or reinforcing)
Adam / Wildmaven
Derek / Kim (until ranged weapons are found)

Defense of each side:
1 fighter
1 healer
1 other
The side that doesn't have a fighter / healer combo should get an extra person from one of the sides that does. We can also distribute the items to make sure each side is equally well defended.

"When I return I will be Defending East with my Fists." With that he heads off to Scout West, having noticed Wildmaven head off in that direction alone.

I agree with Nick, we should start setting up groups to be more organized. Also we need items to get to the right people ASAP.

Day 2 Recap
A tough day for the survivors all around. Many decided that they should stay at the inn and search for more useful item and weapons. But alas, luck was not on their side. Many came up empty handed. A lucky few found some useful things. Crow found a MedKit in an upstairs bathroom. Phaelyn and Derek searched the garage. Phaelyn found a sturdy boat paddle she thought she could use to defend herself. Derek found a half a box shotgun shells, but sadly no shotguns. And Pepper found more food for the group. Late in the afternoon Alex and Pepper reinforced the defenses. Ren was not dealing with the stress well and slept most of the day.

Early in the day Nick and Wildmaven set out west in search of new places and looking for help, Etc escorted them out the side gate. On her way back in she noticed a shed in the backyard. Assuming there must be some useful supplies she approached the shed. As she passed the corner of the B&B she didn't notice the zombie leaning against the back of the building. It still lingered from the night before. At seeing Etc it slowly turned and started to chase. It's throat had been torn out so it made no sound as it closed in on its prey...

Meanwhile a couple blocks away Nick and Wildmaven came upon a major intersection. They crouched behind a car. Across the street they found what looked to be a clothing store, the metal security gate halfway down over the front windows. It could be a potential hideout for the survivors. The town seemed eerily empty especially after the zombies that attacked last night.

After deciding it would be best to return to the Inn they stood and began to make their way back down the street. Nick suddenly held a hand out and stopped Wildmaven. Directly in front of them in the middle of the street was a single zombie facing away from them. After deciding it would be to dangerous to leave the street they decided to surprise the zombie. Wildmaven moved left while Nick went right. When they got close Wildmaven made noise. The zombie slowly turned, an almost hissing noise escaping its lips. Nick quickly came up from behind and punched the zombie hard at the base of the neck, snapping its spinal cord.

Etc walked up to the shed, a rusty lock and chain on the door. She suddenly noticed another shadow next to hers cast on the shed. "Who..." She started to say expecting to see another survivor. But it wasn't a friend, the throatless zombie lunged biting down hard on Etc's arm. Etc let out a scream and pushed the zombie back, it tripped over a rock in the grass and fell backwards its head making a wet noise as it hit sidewalk. Etc quickly made her way back inside, covering her wound with part of her shirt.

Night 2 Recap
After an unlucky day a lucky number of zombies showed up after sundown. Seven to be exact and they pounded and tore at the building. The survivors held fast though and kept their wits about them. Etc wasn't feeling well. Sometime in the middle of the night a fever swept over her. She began to sweat and shiver. The wound on her arm had scabbed over, but was almost black in color.

Ok, so we need to figure out if we can cure Etc with that Med Kit. Further, one of our healers needs to heal Etc back up.

Ryan, can you clarify certain items for us? Are we supposed to "know" if the med kit can cure an infection, or is this kind of 'learn as you go'?

Also, Ren, wake up and pass the knife over! I needs it

Rations also seem to be going really fast. They don't seem to be sustainable long term unless we figure something out here. At some point we need to look into building a farm or something to produce them faster, or in a few days we'll start taking damage from lack of rations.

Learn as you go.

Also, less people means less rations consumed if that becomes a concern for you.

*Etc. shivers in her wet sweat.* She studders through the shiver. I-i-i-is the-e-e-ere any wa-a-a-terrr? Etc. was propped up against one of the walls inside the inn, gripping below the scab on her arm. shhh-shhh-eddd *Etc. grimaced*

[Phaelyn]

Guys, before I make today's action -- should we maybe scout some more, or should we travel? The bed & breakfast has pretty good defense, but I'm not sure if we should get moving soon or not. If we do, I think we should try to all go together

[wildmaven]

Somewhere in this podunk town, there's got to be an abandoned grocery store. We'd have better luck finding one of those than planting seeds and waiting for things to grow.

Etc, heal thyself. ;D

I'm all for moving as a group.

First everything is controlled by random numbers, including your infection. Sorry.

Yes you can defend at night as long as you're alive.

wildmaven - I'm making a rule update, healers cannot heal themselves. One of the others will need to help Etc.

Also to clarify healers. You each get 3 healing points a day. These don't stack (meaning you never have more than 3). You can hand them out however you want just not to yourself. All you need to do is say who you're giving them to. Giving these points is not your daily action, just like the cooks produce food and the builders reinforce the defenses. You can role play what you're doing to help the person if you wish.

everyone - You are allowed to modify your post and actions until 8PM everyday. When I calculate everything I go through the entire days actions at once. So you are allowed to change what you are doing as the day progresses if you change your mind.
