Halloween Game Recap

Players

Keith Harris - Exterminator - Kenneth Merrow
They are among a small group of people in the compound who go out when needed.

Date
October, 30th 2013

Location
Starts out at the compound the players live it. The compound is built around a summer camp 60 miles west from the town of Leavenworth in the Cascade mountains of Washington State.

Adventure
A few days ago four people went into Leavenworth to scavenge for supplies for the coming winter. They were supposed to be back the same day so are now overdue. The played head into town to see what happened to them.

The players leave their horses at a barn near town with the person who is watching the scavenger parties horses. After entering town the players head to the first store that was supposed to be searched, Rite Aid. On the way their they run into four Runners. At the store there are Zombies around the entrance but no signs of life. Since they are there they grab some batteries and over the counter meds before moving on.

The next stop is a sporting goods store. Again no signs of the people they are looking for. On the way to the next store they hear a distant rifle shot and start running and run into a group of Slouchers on the way. When they get a block away they spot a large group of Zombies surrounding a store with shots being fired from it.

Autumn fires a shot to let them know help has arrived. A group of Zombies (Slouchers) breaks off from the group and heads for them. When they get close they realize the zombie in front is the sister of the guy they saved in the last game. Two good saves vs horror later Keith takes her down with a head shot.

The scavenger team survivors launch an attack with Molotov cocktails and takes out the rest of the group. Autumn's reaction to the burning Zombies is to complain about the lack of marshmallows. Out of the four members only two are alive. One was killed by the players the other is missing but presumed to be a Zombie since he was heard screaming in the distance after they got separated. Autumn treats their wounds and they pull out of town with what supplies they did gather.
