    I am very happy @Orivon. you took out those hordes like a pro.

    I have to say thanks for the tip. Tonight I took out a few more hordes by going backwards. It helps because I think that the difficulty level 2 means that cars are taking more damage from zombies, that and the fact that there are more zombies everywhere means that I need to be careful about how many I run over.

    Update 17: Felix, in the field, with the candlestick.
    ?.jpg
    While we were away Buttcleft found a stash of medicine and brought it home. All of it was used up when some of the group started showing flu-like symptoms.
    ?.jpg
    Iolo gets ready to take out two infestations that are right next to each other. He grabs another round for his grenade launcher and then has Buttcleft come along and provide backup.
    ?.jpg
    The first infestation is in a public restroom and Iolo fires a grenade in the small space, the zombies are taken out but he was too close to the blast and was hurt a bit. The next infestation is at a house across the street. They make it over and Iolo takes aim at a screamer that is leering at them from a window. The blast from the grenade kills the screamer and few zombies that were close but not the whole group. The two of them then go inside and take out the rest of the infestation along with the zombies that were drawn by Iolo's grenade launcher.
    ?.jpg
    Iolo then goes to meet up with someone from another group to hunt down an armored zombie and Buttcleft goes home since the infestations are now clear. At the other group's home he meets with Omar, who looks a bit familiar, and they start looking for the armored zombie. The first house they go to doesn't have zombies in it, Iolo searches it for some supplies and improves his wits to level 5. The shed out back is the same and they drive into a nearby field to look for it. Omar spots it and Iolo just runs it over to kill it. With that done Omar's group gives us some food and Iolo goes to a survey point to look around the area.
    ?.jpg
    After looking around Iolo goes to help someone scavenge a gas station. On the way he stops by an outpost and drops off the supplies he found while looking for the armored zombie. The scavenger wanting help is Omar and Iolo agrees to help for some of the resources he finds. Again Iolo gets the nagging feeling that Omar is someone he knew. After the station has been thoroughly searched they go to Omar's home, on the way he starts talking.
    O: You know what weirds me out about this whole thing? All the toilet paper disappeared in the first few days. I mean, plasma TVs and sports cars I get, some people are just dumbasses and think "hey, free stuff." Food, medicine, ammo? That all makes sense. Immediate survival and yadda yadda yadda. But I really want to know who walked out their front door, looked upon the end of civilization as we know it, and went "Man, I'm gonna have to take some shits. Better stock up on two-ply ASAP."
    He earns the priorities trait and they arrive safely at the group's home. He gives Iolo a rucksack full of food as payment for the help and he runs it home. After he gets home he has Felix take over for him so he can get some rest.
    ?.jpg
    He grabs a candlestick and pistol from the supply locker then goes out to help Nocturnal take out an armored zombie. They meet up in a field downhill from the town and then start looking for the freak. They find and Noc grabs it from behind and holds it so Felix can bash the zombies head in. Lily calls in to have Felix do a quick survey of the area and he heads to a survey point to do so. Since Iolo had done a survey not that long ago the only new things he sees are two hordes, one of which immediately walks into one of the outposts traps and is destroyed.
    ?.jpg
    He then climbs down and goes to search the gun shop. The building was most likely ransacked earlier because all he finds is a shotgun and some ammo, loading some of the ammo into a rucksack he then makes the building an outpost. It might not be the best place to protect the church, but it does help keep the surrounding buildings from turning into an infestation. The traps are able to take out the other horde he had seen and he runs home with the ammo he found. Another group of survivors wants help clearing an infestation and since Felix doesn't have as much experience at taking infestations out as the others, Skiddles gears up to help them out. Hopefully his leadership skills will also allow him to gain more trust with that group.
    ?.jpg
    He grabs a car and drives it over to the meeting place. He meets with Fatima and Jimmy and the three of them get into the car and go to a field that is infested.
    ?.jpg
    After driving for a while they reach the field, Skiddles decides to play it safe and use the car to take out the infestation. He puts it into reverse and picks up some speed to plow into the group taking out the majority of zombies and the screamer. The only problem is that the zombies had gathered around some boxes, boxes that stopped the car as soon as it hit them. Skiddles immediately sets the car into drive and hits the gas while Fatima and Jimmy try to knock off the zombies that grabbed onto the car doors. Before they are able to dislodge the zombies they rip the back doors off the car, the group then gets out of the car and kills the zombies that survived the ramming attack. With the infestation cleared the two survivors thank Skiddles for the help but turn down his offer to drive them back.
    ?.jpg
    Luckily the poor car can still run and Skiddles loads some fuel that he found in the field, alongside the ammo and food that Fatima gave us for payment, and drives home. After dropping all of the supplies off at home he goes to help a scavenger that is searching a nearby orchard. He takes a different car and starts off.
    ?.jpg
    Once there he meets with Omar, thinking to himself that Iolo is right that he is someone they knew, and agrees to keep him safe while he searches the orchard. The few zombies that come looking have their heads blown off by the pistol that Skiddles uses. Omar finishes searching and they get into the car and Skiddles drives them back to the other group's home.
    ?.jpg
    On the way back they run into a horde and they arrive at Omar's home safely. He says thanks and gives Skiddles some of the food that he found. He then starts driving home, the mission also allowed his leadership skill to improve to level 3. After dropping the food off at home Lily tells him that the group he just helped wants to join us, he goes out to collect them and since we have no room to store the food he just brought, Iolo starts working in the kitchen on a feast to welcome the new survivors.
    ?.jpg
    Skiddles meets with the group and they start loading up anything useful into the truck that he drove over. After that's done they drive home. They arrive safely and start introducing themselves to the group.
    ?.jpg
    We have joining us Jimmy "Alan" Rosenberg. He has the psychopath trait which means he is more likely to have conflicts with other members of the group, or murder them in their sleep, it's an equal chance either way. The garbage collector, marked for greatness, and Trumbull local traits don't do anything useful. The asthma attacks trait means his cardio improves slower than normal.
    ?.jpg
    Also joining us is Andres "Sutibun" Alvarado. The alcoholic and studied the occult traits don't do anything useful. He studied kickboxing so his cardio and fighting skills start off at level 2. The demolitionist skill means he may be able to do some interesting things if our workshop is good enough. Like Alan he has asthma attacks so his cardio improves slower than normal.
    ?.jpg
    And NotoriusBEN is back! He says that he doesn't remember the rest of the group and that his name is Omar Gal, but he's the same NotoriusBEN we had left behind. Apparently he remembers when the zombies first started showing up and a little after that but he doesn't remember anything after that until he wakes up here with a huge headache. He then ran into Alan and Sutibun and joined up with them. So NotroiusBEN is with us once again, unfortunately his skills are back to level one since he forgot all of the experiences of fighting zombies in our group.

    I just want to take this moment and say that I didn't plan this, I didn't even realize it until I started writing up the update. The fact that NotoriusBEN's name was the next one in the reserve list for survivors was what made me realize it was him. I knew that he had the same character model, but not that he had the same traits as well. It's weird, but awesome, and I didn't expect something like this to happen.

    I'm sure it'll be fine, though he didn't even make one day before threatening to kill someone, but I'm sure he didn't mean it.

    Also I need a name for a female survivor, like before if you have a name post it and the name with the most agrees is the name of our new survivor.

    Alcoholic Demolitionist you say? That'll do nicely.
    And by "Studied the Occult", you mean "Played Dungeons and Dragons" right?
    This can only end in self immolation.

    Update 18: A friend in need.
    ?.jpg
    While we were away PLA went out and found some fuel. Elvenshae also found some fuel and brought it back. PLA accidentally shot Iolo, luckily it only winged him so there are no internal injuries. To start off with NotoriusBEN grabs a telescopic baton and pistol from the supply locker and goes out to search some houses, hopefully his wits improve a bit from the search and fighting off some zombies will improve his fighting skill.
    ?.jpg
    As he leaves he sees PLA up in the watchtower taking aim at the zombies around the home. The first place that he searches is an auto mechanic, there's not much to be found here and the only useful things he finds are a heavy wrench that can be used as a weapon and some coffee. While he's out Lily calls him on the radio to say that another survivor wants to join the group, NotoriusBEN then makes his way over to a gas station where the survivor is staying.
    ?.jpg
    Once there he helps take out the zombies that are attacking the survivor, during the fight his fighting skill goes up to level 2. He then talks to Heather and agrees to escort her to the home, before they leave they do a quick search of the station. Heather takes the time to talk to NotoriusBEN.
    H: I keep thinking about the last drive I made through town. The last one before, I mean. We'd gotten into this big fight. My son and I. He was dropping out of school, you see. His father and I tried to talk some sense into him. I threatened to cut him off. It got ugly. That boy always was stubborn. Got it from me. It'd been almost a month. Not a peep from him, and I was coming back from work and I... I almost turned onto the highway to go talk to him in person. But I decided to come home instead. I had an early morning the next day. As if that matters now.
    Heather earns the regret trait and NotoriusBEN finishes searching the station, he finds some snacks and pain relievers but nothing else. They then get into a truck outside and drive home. The reach home safely and Heather says hello to the rest of the group.
    ?.jpg
    Joining us is Heather "Shirley Laverne" Larue. She has the gossip and survivor's guilt traits that don't do anything. The watched cooking shows trait gives her the cooking skill. The tough as nails trait gives her a bonus to her max vitality. Also, holy shit, she has a level 7 fighting skill right off the bat.
    After NotoriusBEN drops off the supplies he found in the supply locker he goes to a construction site to look for supplies and turn it into an outpost.
    ?.jpg
    The only thing he finds there is some fuel and he turns it into an outpost. It might not protect the home as much but it will help keep the town clear of infestations. He then heads home to talk to PLA who's having some anger issues. Once there he grabs one of the cars and takes out one of the hordes attacking the home. After, he has PLA follow him while Felix takes over on guard duty and they get into a truck, seemingly to spite him she climbs into the bed of the truck instead of the passenger seat. They start driving over to a trailer park to take out a group of zombies.
    ?.jpg
    They enter a storage shed near the back of the park and start to fight some zombies. Due to his inexperience NotoriusBEN takes too much damage and starts getting clawed at by the zombies, PLA is able to help him by attacking the zombies and switching their attention to her. NotoriusBEN is hurt but is able to get up and helps PLA take out the rest of the zombies. With the building clear they go back to the truck, PLA sits in the passenger seat this time, and drive back home. (I came way, WAY, too close to losing NotoriusBEN during this fight. I rushed him into the building because there were a lot of zombies outside and I wanted to hurry up and finish the mission so I could get out of the area quickly, of course he got swarmed and knocked down. It was a rookie mistake and hopefully I don't make anymore.)
    ?.jpg
    With PLA's anger issues resolved NotoriusBEN has Sutibun take over for him so he can rest and heal up. Sutibun grabs a tire iron and assault rifle from the supply locker and sets out to the shed that Nocturnal found a bunch of materials in to bring some of those back. With one of the stacks of materials brought home he goes out to meet with Skiddles to hunt down a feral zombie.
    ?.jpg
    On the way he spots an infestation and marks it on the map. He meets up with Skiddles in a field and they start searching a nearby barn for the freak. On their way over to the barn Sutibun uses some zombies as target practice and blows their heads off. They find the feral in the barn and it immediately rushes Sutibun and knocks him down. He's able to knock the freak off and he and Skiddles then take turns hitting it to keep it off balance. Once it's knocked down Sutibun bashes its head in and Skiddles then goes home. Sutibun does a quick search of the barn and finds some more 22. caliber rounds for his assault rifle and some materials that he loads into the truck. On the way back home he decides to try clearing the infestation that he saw on the way to the hunt. Staying in the truck he honks the horn to draw out the zombies, after they come out he runs them over with the truck. Not all of them fell for his trap and he gets out of the truck. He then shoots the heads off of the remaining zombies and screamer that were still inside the building. With the infestation clear he then drives home to drop off the materials that he found.
    ?.jpg
    He then goes to his old home to make it clear because after talking with the other members of the group it seems that his, Alan, and NotoriusBEN's old home is a better fit for the group than the church. With the materials they are able to make the home safe and work is started on cleaning up the bedroom, workshop, and kitchen. With the rest of the remaining materials work is started on building a watchtower. Sutibun then goes to a house next door to turn it into an outpost. He searches it and finds a heavy weapon along with two stacks of building materials.
    ?.jpg
    After running the stacks of materials home he turns the building into an outpost. Some of the materials that he brought home are used to start construction on a medical area and with the home well protected from hordes Sutibun has PLA take over for him so he can get some rest. She then goes to a survey point to look around the area. All she spots is a horde that is making its way to the home, but will be taken out by an outpost. She then goes to search the post office and set it up as an outpost, making the rest of the town safe from infestations. The few zombies she encounters along the way improve her fighting skill to level 4. At the post office she starts searching for anything useful.
    ?.jpg
    She finds an impressive looking shotgun and puts it in her backpack, she then finishes searching the outpost and turns it into an outpost. She heads home to drop off the supplies she found and once she gets there she hears a shouting match going on. Alan is threatening to strangle Nocturnal for yodeling at two in the morning, Elvenshae has to step in and talk to Alan with the business end of his shotgun to get him to calm down. Once Alan is calmed down PLA takes him out to help hunt down an armored zombie.
    ?.jpg
    They find the SWAT zombie in a shed and are easily able to kill it. With Alan feeling better he goes home while PLA has to go help out Heather who has got herself into some trouble. She drives down to a field and finds Heather fighting off a group of zombies. The two of them are able to take out all of the zombies that are there and they drive home. Once there Heather goes to the sleeping area to get some rest and a call comes in from NotoriusBEN for some help. PLA is tired but goes out once again to help him out.
    ?.jpg
    Once there she starts helping NotoriusBEN fight off the zombies. After taking out a few dozen zombies the area is clear for the moment, they can hear more zombies on the way, and they get into a car and drive home. (Oh, hey, another fight where a survivor almost died. The fight started fine with both PLA and NotoriusBEN taking out a few zombies each, but more and more just kept on coming. They nearly killed PLA just through pure attrition.)

    Still need a name for our new survivor. It can be someone signing up or a name someone offers, it doesn't matter which. I just need a name.

    If you find people aren't fast enough with names, maybe a name generator can help. Pick Rare for more colourful options.

    "PLA accidentally shot Iolo, luckily it only winged him so there are no internal injuries."

    "He then heads home to talk to PLA who's having some anger issues."

    So, the question before the court is, did PLA shoot Iolo because of the anger issues, or was she mad because she missed?

    Update 19: Skiddles, showing off that leadership skill.
    ?.jpg
    While we were gone Felix went out and found some building materials, Alan also found some materials and brought them back home. Work was finished on the watchtower and the medical area. A few survivors got sick but after spending a but of time in the medical area are now feeling fine.
    ?.jpg
    Starting out Alan takes a shotgun and kanabo from the supply locker and goes to search a house across the street for some food, since we are running low. Once there he finds some supplies and two stacks of food, after running one of the stacks home he comes back for the other one and brings that back as well. The next stop is a nearby house that another survivor wants some help searching. He meets with Nicholas and agrees to watch his back for some of the supplies that he finds. Alan's fighting skill goes up to level 2 while fighting off the zombies that come inside the house. Nicholas finishes his search and Alan drives him to his home. On the way over Nicholas starts talking.
    N: You know, the other day, I was searching over on the west side and ended up in Jerry Haskin's place. Pictures of the smug son of a bitch with celebrities all over the walls. Typical Jerry, "look how important I am." But I'm digging through his drawers, looking for some duct tape. I know, right? Like that asshole'd have duct tape. And in the junk drawer in his kitchen, I find these pictures that... well, trust me, I'll never look at the tailpipe of a '72 Falconer Hatchback the same way again. Jesus. If he was around, I'd never let him hear the end of it. No point in speaking ill of the dead though.
    Nicholas earns the people are strange trait and Alan drops him off at his group's home. As payment he gives Alan some food and he drives it home. On the way some zombies that he hits causes him to lose control of the car and he hits a rock. There's smoke coming from the engine but he continues driving home.
    ?.jpg
    Outside the home he hits a hill at the wrong angle and that combined with the speed of the car, causes it to flip over. Alan is shaken up a bit but is luckily unhurt, the food survived undamaged and he drops it off in the supply locker. He isn't allowed to take the other car from the home and he goes to the church to take one of the trucks we left behind. Once in front of the church he spots a juggernaut and jumps in a truck so he can quickly get out of there. He stops at a shed and grabs some materials from that to bring home. With the materials he brought home work is started on a garden so we won't get low on food and Alan goes out to help a survivor that is in trouble. He spots Fatima in afield fighting a bunch of zombies and after he uses the truck to run over about half of them he climbs out and starts bashing the zombies heads in. Fatima thanks him for the help and goes back home. He then gets a call from Shirley and goes to meet up with her and hunt down a bloater.
    ?.jpg
    The two of spot the bloater and Alan takes aim at it with his shotgun. The blast tears the bloater open and Shirley heads home, while Alan makes a break for the truck because his shotgun drew a lot of zombies to the area, including a screamer. Once he's in the truck he starts it up and a feral zombie jumps onto the door, it tries to rip the door open and Alan has to keep bashing it with the door to get it off. He knocks it off and he drives over it just to make sure it's dead. He then makes the drive home so he can get some rest.
    ?.jpg
    Skiddles takes over for Alan and gets ready to drive out to some survivors that want to join us. Before he does so Lily asks him to keep an eye out for some trellis boards for the garden. He takes the truck and starts driving over to the farmhouse where the survivors are staying. On the way over he stops in an orchard and upon searching it he finds some trellis boards that he throws in the back of the truck along with some food that he found. At the farmhouse he agrees to escort the survivors to the home and they start loading any useful supplies into the truck. Skiddles fighting skill goes up to level 7 and blunt weapon specialization goes up to level 3 while fighting some zombies that wanted to know what the commotion was about. The truck is loaded and they start driving back home.
    ?.jpg
    On the way back Skiddles use the truck to take out two hordes that were in the fields. Once they arrive at the home Skiddles drops the trellis boards off at the garden and the food in the supply locker. The new survivors then introduce themselves to the rest of the group.
    ?.jpg
    We have joining us Fatima "Windy Gust" Johansen. The "team mom" trait means she is less likely to have conflicts with the rest of the group. The loved painting trait gives her the arts and crafts skill which might be useful in the workshop. The gallery owner trait gives her the sales skill that does nothing useful. Finally the fast hands trait means her fighting skill improves faster than normal.
    ?.jpg
    Also joining us is Nicholas "Dirk Hard-Cheese" Bermudez. He has the jerk trait that means he's more likely to have conflicts with other members of the group. The taxidermist trait gives him two skills, the chemistry skill and arts and crafts skill, interesting combination. The liked to hunt trait means his wits, cardio, and shooting skills all start out at level 2. The pack a day trait means his cardio improves slower than normal. Finally the people are strange trait doesn't do anything useful.
    ?.jpg
    The next survivor joining us is Hudson "Punch Rockgroin" Caccio. The alcoholic, hoarded stuff, and TMI traits don't do anything useful. The handyman trait gives him the construction skill which is useful in building things. Finally the tough as nails trait gives him a max vitality bonus.
    While Skiddles was away a call came in from a survivor that wanted to join our group. He then goes out to escort the survivor home.
    ?.jpg
    He meets Andy at the church and, after making sure he's not dying or contagious, agrees to escort him to the home.
    ?.jpg
    Joining us is Andy "Drunk Slamchest" Pimms. None of his traits do anything useful, but his skills are insane. He has a level 7 wits and fighting skills, pretty good for someone who looks like he's past death's door.
    Skiddles then goes out in search of some materials for the home. He goes through a shed and house finding no materials when Lily calls him and tells him to be on the lookout for some medicine. Without him noticing most of our medicine has been used and we have very little left, so new priority is finding some medicine. At the next house he searches he finds a stack of medicine and he runs it home. With that done he sets out in search of materials again, but making sure to bring any medicine he finds back home as well. He searches another shed and house but doesn't find what he's looking for, the search does improve his wits skill to level 4. The next shed he searches he finds some medicine and runs it home. After running around picking people up and searching a bunch of buildings he's tired and has Dirk take over for him. Dirk then gets ready to go help another survivor that is in trouble.
    ?.jpg
    He arrives just in time to see the survivor on the ground and surrounded by zombies, Dirk starts laying into the zombies trying to take their attention off of the downed survivor. The fight improves his fighting skill to level 2. The zombies are cleared out and Dirk drives Aaron to his home. He then searches a nearby barn and finds some materials that he drives home. With the new materials work is started on a second sleeping area. Skiddles is once again tasked with bringing in some other survivors that want to join our group. Once at the farmhouse that the survivors are staying at, Skiddles agrees to escort them to the home. They pile into the truck and start driving home. Once at the home the new survivors make the usual introductions.
    ?.jpg
    Joining us is Jake "Thick McRunfast" Boyle. The no nonsense trait means his wits skill starts off at level 3. The studied gymnastics skill gives him the fitness guru skill and means his cardio skill starts out at level 3. The student trait doesn't do anything useful and the asthma attacks trait means his cardio improves slower than normal.
    ?.jpg
    Also joining us is Aaron "Slab Bulkhead" Felder. The braggart, Trumbull local, liked to tinker, and go big or go home traits don't do anything useful. The plumber trait gives him the useful construction skill and the natural athlete trait gives him the powerhouse skill, that allows him to carry more things before he becomes encumbered and use less stamina when using heavy weapons.
    ?.jpg
    Finally, joining us is Damian "Roll Fizzlebeef" Battllori. The braggart and clerk traits don't do anything useful. The played trivia games trait gives him the research skill and the pack a day trait means his cardio improves slower than normal.

    Update 20: You alright there, Iolo? You look a little angry.
    ?.jpg
    While we were gone Felix went out and found some building materials, Iolo brought back a bunch of ammunition and some fuel as well, and work was completed on the new sleeping area. Iolo gets set to go out and scavenge for some materials. His first stop is construction site near the edge of an outposts range. On the way there he hears that a total of five hordes were taken out by the outposts since he left home. At the site he finds some fuel and some building materials that he runs home. After he reaches the home and drops the materials off a call comes in for some help hunting down a feral, after making sure his pistol is fully loaded he goes out to join the hunt. The meeting place is the church and once there he meets with Roll Fizzlebeef, together they start looking for the freak.
    ?.jpg
    The first house they start searching they are greeted with a howl and the feral rushes Iolo. He's knocked down but before the freak is able to start biting at him Roll knocks it off of him. Iolo then grabs his blade and starts swinging at the feral. It's able dodge most of his swings and the ones that connect don't do much damage however, it doesn't take long for Iolo to get a good swing in and cut off the top of the freak's head, killing it. Roll then goes home and Iolo starts to search the house. He doesn't find much of use, aside from some bottles of liquor that are undamaged and can be used as firebombs, and searches the house next door. While over there he breaks something in his haste to search the house, the noise was pretty loud and he leaves before any zombies come.
    ?.jpg
    At home he drops off the supplies he found into the supply locker and grabs his grenade launcher to get ready to clear some infestations. He also asks Punch Rockgroin to come along and watch his back.
    ?.jpg
    They drive out to the cemetery and spot the infestation. Iolo lets loose the round from his grenade launcher and kills most of the group, however there's still a few more zombies and a screamer that they have to take care of. Punch takes care of the few zombies that rush them while Iolo makes a run for the screamer that's living up to its name and making a racket. A few zombies make the mistake of getting in Iolo's way and lose their legs for it. He's finally able to reach the screamer and shut it up but they're already surrounded by the zombies that came running. Iolo flys into a rage and starts killing any zombies that get near him without ever seeming to tire and Punch is taking out the rest of them. The infestation is cleared and Iolo wants to make a quick search for any supplies but a bloater makes its way over to them and after it blows up they see more zombies on the way, they then make a run for the truck to get out of there. Once at home Punch is tired and goes to bed while Iolo has to talk to Shirley about some issues she's having controlling her fear. They make their way to a house that has some zombies gathering inside, Iolo starts off by firing pistol through the window and killing a few of the zombies. The two of them then kick in the front door and rush the few zombies left standing. The zombies go down easily due to the barrage of blows from the pairs blades. After the house is clear both Iolo and Shirley go home to get some rest.
    ?.jpg
    Nocturnal takes over for Iolo and grabs some ammo for her assault rifle before leaving for a freak hunt. She finds Buttcleft at the meeting place and together they start looking for the juggernaut.
    ?.jpg
    Going on foot through a thicket they spot the juggernaut a ways away. Buttcleft gets ready to take out any zombies that come their way and Nocturnal takes aim at the juggernaut and pulls the trigger. She unloads a full clip into the freak but it's still able to move, while she reloads and Buttcleft is fighting off the zombies that heard the shots the juggernaut charges them. At the last second Nocturnal is able to dive out of the way of the juggernaut's charge, she loses sight of Buttcleft but she's able to finish loading her gun and fires at the freak's head. Twenty more rounds and the freak is only dazed, she gets ready to fight it with her blade when she spots Buttcleft swinging his axe, he cuts off the juggernaut's head and the two of them drive home. Before doing so Nocturnal does a quick search of the area and finds some ammo for her assault rifle along with a shotgun that she brings home. On the way home Nocturnal takes out a passing horde. At home she hears that another survivor wants to join our group and she makes the short run to where the survivor is staying. She meets Lyanna and agrees to escort her to the home. Before leaving the house Nocturnal throws some medicine into a rucksack and then the two of them go home. Once home Lyanna introduces herself to the rest of the group.
    ?.jpg
    The new survivor joining us is Lyanna "Mora McCormack" Carter. The no nonsense trait means her wits skill starts at level 3. The total lush trait means that her wits improves slower than normal. Finally the live a little and hero traits don't do anything useful. She also is starting with her fighting skill maxed out at level 7 along with a level 7 edged weapon specialization.
    Nocturnal is feeling a bit sick so she has Slab Bulkhead take over for her while she gets some rest.
    ?.jpg
    He grabs an axe and rifle from the supply locker then drives to a spot that someone says has a functional RV.
    ?.jpg
    (I'm just going to take a moment to explain the powerhouse trait that Slab has. Like Nocturnal's reflexes skill it's more useful out in the field than at home. As it gains ranks Slab has a greater chance of his attacks killing a zombie outright. The skill also means that he can carry more weight before becoming encumbered and have more items in a single stack than usual. When using heavy weapons he loses less stamina than he normally would and when using LMG's he has better control and mobility.)
    He drives a truck over and spots an RV broken down on the side of the road. After taking out a few zombies in the area he does a quick inspection of the RV. The engine is fine and the only thing that seems to be wrong with it is that the fuel tank is empty, he wonders why someone would leave a vehicle out here just because it ran out of gas. He forces the door and the stench that hits his nose immediately answers his question. Holding his breath he looks in and sees that someone, or a few someones, were torn up in here, the RV is going to have to be disinfected before it's safe to even be inside of it. He then makes his way to the log cabin near the RV and takes out the few zombies inside, improving his fighting and powerhouse skills to level 2. He finds some fuel and loads it into the truck to bring back home along with the RV.
    ?.jpg
    After getting home he goes out to help someone hunt down a feral zombie. He meets up with Sutibun at a farmhouse and they start to search for the freak in the barn out back. They fight through some zombies on the way and Slab's fighting skill goes up to level 3. Once outside of the barn they hear a howl from inside and Slab takes aim at the propane tank next to the barn waiting for the freak to show itself. Before he's able to react the feral jumps through a window and rushes him, he's able to dive out of the way before it can knock him down and Sutibun starts wacking it with his tire iron. After Slab and Sutibun knock it around a bit it's knocked down and Slab chops its head off. The fight improved Slab's powerhouse skill to level 3 and he learns to do a power kick that's able to knock back and stagger a zombie. He drives over to a trailer park to look for supplies while Sutibun goes home to get some rest. Once Slab is at the trailer park he makes a search and find some fuel along with two stacks of building materials in a shed near the back of the park. He then makes two trips to run both stacks of materials home.
    ?.jpg
    He then goes to meet some survivors that want some help clearing an infestation. They're waiting at the trailer park that Slab just searched. Once there he meets Peyton and agrees to help clear an infestation. It's all the way on the other side of Trumbull and they start the long drive out there. They make it to the infestation and get out of the truck.
    ?.jpg
    After taking out the zombies that were outside the building they can hear the zombies inside trying to knock the door open, Slab mutters something under his breath and takes aim at the propane tank and waits for the zombies to make their way outside. The door is broken down and a few zombies rush out, Slab tells Peyton to wait for more to come out but he gets impatient and starts for the zombies. Before he gets too close Slab shoots the tank and takes out the few zombies that were close enough to be caught in the blast, unfortunately Peyton gets blown back a bit by the blast and is pissed at Slab. They go inside the building to kill the remaining zombies and while doing so Peyton is yelling at Slab about reckless actions and where he can shove his axe, while Slab is yelling at Peyton about him being an idiot that can't listen to other people and something about his shirt. The last few zombies are killed and we're paid by Peyton's group with some food. Peyton curses out Slab one last time and then goes home, Slab then loads the food into the truck and drives home to get some rest.

    I hate you for making me think that I missed a word in the update.

    Also, regarding the update, that graveyard fight was one of the most tense fights I've had in the game. Every time I killed a zombie another one would come out of the darkness and start attacking me. The game didn't have the zombies actually rising from the graves, but it felt like that with how many I had to fight off.

    Update 21: Jurassic Junction, what's your function?
    ?.jpg
    While we were away PLA shows off her scavenging skills by not only bringing home some ammunition but also fuel and building materials. Felix also brought home some cases of ammunition. Buttcleft is the one tasked with getting food since we have none. His first stop is a minimart across the street, in the building he finds three stacks of food and takes the time to run all three home.
    ?.jpg
    ?.jpg
    During the third trip he takes some time to use some zombies as target practice and improves his shooting skill to level 3. Once the food is at home he hears a call for some help taking down a juggernaut and he goes to assist. He drives a truck down to the fields, taking out a horde along the way, and stops to meet with Slab who asked for the help. Together they go to search a nearby field for the juggernaut, Buttcleft spots a screamer and shoots its head off with his silenced assault rifle before it can warn any zombies of their arrival. They spot the large figure of the freak a ways away and Buttcleft starts shooting it. He keeps up the barrage to make sure it doesn't charge them as he and Slab move towards it. The juggernaut is staggered and Slab's axe is able to cleave through its neck, killing it. They then take out the few zombies that come towards the commotion, during which Buttcleft's heavy weapons skill goes up to level 5, and Slab thanks Buttcleft for the help and then goes home. Buttcleft runs back to the truck and drives over to a house looking for materials. With twenty people in the house it's feeling a bit crowded so we need to move somewhere bigger and to do that we need more materials. At the house he finds a pistol but there are no materials in sight. While looking at his map to find somewhere nearby that hasn't been searched yet and might have some materials a call comes in from Lily, another survivor wants some combat tips and she needs Buttcleft to drive down and meet with the survivor.
    ?.jpg
    At the meeting place he finds Wyatt and agrees to show him some tips for fighting zombies. They go to an isolated spot for them to practice fighting zombies up close and after they take out the zombies that are there they move to a different spot to practice shooting. Buttcleft spots some zombies in a fenced in area and he has Wyatt take aim at them with a pistol. He teaches him the basics of handling and firing a gun and watches as Wyatt shoots down the group of zombies. Afterwards Wyatt heads home and Buttcleft gets a call from Lily that no-one has seen Skiddles for a while and asks him to find him. She gives him the last location that Skiddles was seen and Buttcleft makes the drive to an abandoned building. He runs into a horde on the road over and the sun is starting to set, he needs to find Skiddles before it gets dark.
    ?.jpg
    He finds no trace of Skiddles there and he makes his way to the nearby trailer park hoping to find him. Near the back of the park he forces open the door of a shed and enters to find Skiddles, sleeping in the corner. Apparently he had to take refuge in here to get away from a horde and after locking the door, fell asleep, because he was exhausted. Buttcleft agrees to drive him home and the two of them get in the truck. At home Buttcleft decides to get some rest and has PLA take over for him. She grabs a suppressor from the supply locker and goes to a survey point so that she can see a place that might have some materials in it.
    ?.jpg
    She spots some freaks and the building that is most likely to have materials in it is the barn so climbs down to search it. There are no materials but she does find some fuel and ammunition for her rifle. She then searches the house hoping to get lucky and find some materials but, all she finds is some food. Taking the truck in the drive she goes over to a warehouse thinking that there has to have some materials in it. Aside from the zombies inside all she finds is a bottle of aspirin. A call for someone to create a distraction comes in over the radio and, after stopping at an outpost to drop off what she had found and grabbing an alarm clock, she makes her way to the requested building. She sets the clock down and runs back to the truck before it goes off, when it does all of the zombies in the general area come over to see what the noise is about. Sutibun thanks PLA for the help and she goes to check a nearby house for supplies. The search for materials isn't going well but, it does improve PLA's wits skill to level 4. After searching a few more houses and finding no materials she becomes tired and goes home to rest. Elvenshae takes over for her, he grabs the Russian 12k that PLA had found earlier and goes out to help hunt down a bloated zombie. He drives out to a farmhouse and, after taking out a nearby horde with the truck, meets with Slab to start the hunt.
    ?.jpg
    The barn they search has the freak inside and Elvenshae dispatches it with his new shotgun. They take out the zombies that heard the shot and Slab runs home to get some rest. Elvenshae does a search of the barn and house for some materials, the search improves his wits skill to level 6, and doesn't find much of use. He then drives down the road a bit farther hoping to find a building that has some materials inside. He arrives at the so called Jurassic Junction and climbs a dinosaur to get a look around. The buildings in the area are some houses, a minimart, a public restroom, and the gas station; he makes the gas station his first stop. At least, he was, as soon as Elvenshae got in front of the station about a dozen zombies started rushing out of it. He ran back to the truck instead of taking all of them on by himself, on the way back home he gets a call for some help killing a feral zombie. At the meeting point he runs into Windy and the two of them start looking fr the feral.
    ?.jpg
    They spot the feral at a campsite and once it sees them it rushes Elvenshae hoping to knock him down, he's easily able to dodge out of its way and Windy starts slashing at it. Elvenshae comes over and starts attacking the feral as well and it soon falls to their blades. Windy goes home and Elvenshae starts searching the campsite for supplies.
    ?.jpg
    Just what exactly campers were doing out here with an LMG is a mystery, but it does mean that Slab will be getting a new gun to use. He doesn't find much else of note and drives home to get some rest.

    Time to let others shine. Besides, guard duty is light work while I try to heal up the divots that those zeds took out of me a few updates ago.

    The only think I never liked about the BAR, at least in the Brothers in Arms games, was that it was limited to a twenty round magazine.

    Now, if a silence can be attached to it, then fuck it. Best. Gun. Ever. I mean let's face it, if you can attach a silencer to an assault rifle without batting an eye, why not go for the home run?

    Update 22: Don't mess with the DWARF LORDZ!
    ?.jpg
    While we were away Iolo found a bunch of building materials and Alan brought back some medicine and materials. Another survivor wants some help clearing an infestation and Mora volunteers, she grabs a pistol and a suppressor from the supply locker then meets with Luke and Peyton. The infestation is pretty far away and they get into a station wagon to drive out to it. Once they are in front of the warehouse that is infested Mora lays on the horn and takes out any zombies that come out with the station wagon. With no more zombies coming out they get out of the car and go inside to kill any remaining zombies. It seems that the only zombies that didn't come out were the two screamers and they are quickly killed, with the infestation cleared Luke and Peyton go home.
    ?.jpg
    On the way out of there they have to deal with some zombies that the screamers brought before the way is clear. Mora searches the warehouse hoping to find some materials, all she finds is an uzi that she tosses into her backpack. She runs to another warehouse nearby to search it and finds absolutely nothing, she then goes to another warehouse hoping that this one has some materials in it. Finally she finds some materials and she loads it into the station wagon and then drives home. We finally now have 50 materials so we can move but first Mora goes out to help someone hunt a bloated zombie in the area. She meets Dirk in a field and they start to look for the bloater, Mora spots it up a hill and use her pistol to pop it.
    ?.jpg
    Afterwards she starts searching a campsite for anything useful. She finds some shotgun shells, some 5.56 rounds, and a large backpack that she equips. There are no more things to do in this area so she drives down to the trucking warehouse to make it clear for the move. While driving over a call comes in from Drunk Slamchest asking for help getting home and she has to go help him. Stopping at a house she hears him fighting off a bunch of zombies and she goes in swinging her axe. Drunk had actually taken out most of the zombies so after Mora kills a few the building is clear, they both get into the truck and after she drops Drunk off at home she's able to drive to the warehouse. It's clear and she calls Lily to make the move.
    ?.jpg
    We've moved into the warehouse and the first thing to do is clean up some areas. First off work is started on cleaning up the sleeping area, the storage area, and setting up a workshop. The next structure that needs to be built is a watchtower, but after the move we don't have enough materials. Sutibun is tasked with getting some materials and setting up outposts while Mora gets some rest. He grabs a revolver from the supply locker and goes across the street to the fast food restaurant. Searching it yields some food that he grabs and turns the building into an outpost before running home. His next stop would be the gas station next door to turn that into an outpost, but he spots a juggernaut hanging out in front of it and instead makes his next stop a warehouse to look for some materials. In the warehouse he finds two stacks of materials and runs one of them back home.
    ?.jpg
    A bloater tries following him and he blows it open with his revolver. He ducks back inside the fence before any zombies come looking and drops off the materials in the supply locker. Work is started on the watchtower and Sutibun has to go help out Nocturnal who has gotten herself into a jam. When he reaches the house he hears Nocturnal fighting inside but first he must take care of the zombies out front, doing so improves his fighting skill to level 4. With the way clear he enters the front door expecting to find a zombie waiting for him, but it seems that Nocturnal had taken out all of the zombies inside. She says sorry to Sutibun for wasting his time and then goes home, Sutibun then goes to a nearby campsite to look for supplies.
    ?.jpg
    He finds a hunting rifle that makes sense, but he doesn't understand why he found a kanabo as well. With his backpack full he searches a shed hoping to find some materials that he can bring home. The shed is completely empty save for some medicine that he loads into a rucksack and drives home. At home he looks over to the gas station and no longer sees the juggernaut that was blocking his path over. Getting ready to run if he sees the juggernaut he makes his way over and goes inside to start searching it. The juggernaut must have left because he can safely search the building and in doing so he finds four stacks of food and some fuel, he runs most of the food home then comes back for the fuel. With the fuel ready to go he makes the station an outpost. He takes the fuel home and uses it to fill up the RV, its gas tank is now full but it still needs to be disinfected before it's safe to use.
    ?.jpg
    He hears some yelling from inside the home and he sees Felix yelling at Buttcleft about some food, he ignores it and goes to bed, having Dirk take over for him. Dirk grabs a rifle from the supply locker and goes out to help some neighbors that want to clear an infestation. He makes his way to the house that they want to meet at and hears some screaming from inside.
    ?.jpg
    Apparently the meeting point is itself an infestation and the screams from inside belong to the two screamers that call it home. He rushes inside before the other survivors are killed and finds them surrounded by zombies. The first thing he does is take out one of the screamers to shut it up, the zombies then catch sight of Dirk and that gives one of the other survivors enough room to take out the other screamer. The three of them then are able to take out the rest of the zombies and clear the infestation. Luke says that they still want to clear the other infestation as well and Dirk agrees to help them. They make their way to the back door and Dirk kicks it open knocking down a zombie that was on the other side and Wyatt comes up to kill it, Luke and Dirk then run inside and start swinging at the zombies. The screamers prove to be a bit of a problem but the survivors are able to take care of them along with the rest of the zombies in the house. With the infestation cleared Luke and Wyatt thank Dirk for all of the help and go home.
    ?.jpg
    Dirk then meets Windy at a house next door and they start hunting an armored zombie. They find it in another house and Dirk's axe takes care of the freak, Windy heads home while Dirk goes to a survey point to scan the area. He spots a few buildings that would make good supply runs and luckily he doesn't spot any infestations, climbing down he gets a call from Lily telling him that they need some mortar for work on the watchtower to continue. He then goes over to an industrial supply store hoping to find some and see if there are any materials left. In the store he quickly finds some mortar and two stacks of building materials, he grabs one of the stacks and runs home. He drops the mortar off at the watchtower and the materials in the supply locker, with the materials work is started on building a medical area and a second sleeping area. Dirk then runs back to the store to fully search it and then bring the rest of the materials home. He finds that one of the barrels behind the store still has some fuel left inside and inside the store he finds a wrench and shovel that can be used as weapons. Taking the materials back home he then goes to the sleeping area to get some rest.

    Update 23: Difficulty level 2 claims its first victim.
    ?.jpg
    While we were away Slab Bulkhead went missing, Windy found some ammunition, Buttcleft found some fuel, Felix found some food, and work was completed on the watchtower and medical area. Drunk Slamchest grabs a backpack, pistol, and sword from the supply locker and goes out to help Sutibun who is in trouble. Because Drunk's fighting skill is so high he's able to specialize in edged weapons and since his wits skill is maxed out he's able to choose the ninja skill as a special technique. The ninja skill means that no doors are considered locked for him, he makes no noise while searching, and he can move faster while sneaking. After driving over to the house that Sutibun is at Drunk gets out if the car and has to take out some zombies and a screamer that are out front. Entering the house he starts swinging at the zombies attacking Sutibun. During the fight a feral comes into the house and attacks Drunk, he gets knocked down but after getting back up he fights back and is able to kill the freak. With the house clear Sutibun goes home and Drunk starts searching the house, with the ninja skill the search goes by quickly and he loads some food into the car before driving home. He goes to the nearby warehouse that Sutibun had searched to retrieve the rest of the materials there. Some zombies that are inside improve his edged weapon specialization to level 2 and damages his sword. The materials are dropped off at home and Drunk swaps out his damaged sword for a pirate cutlass then goes out to help hunt down an armored zombie. He meets with PLA at a house and they start to search for the freak.
    ?.jpg
    They find two armored zombies at the house across the street and quickly kill them. PLA goes home and Drunk starts searching the house, he finds some coffee that he downs to help keep awake and some 45. caliber rounds. In one of the rooms he also finds some materials that he loads into a rucksack to bring home. With the materials that he drops off at home work is started on constructing a cooking area. He then goes to loot a gun shop down the street. Once there he finds a rifle and some loose ammunition along with some cases of ammunition that he loads into a rucksack. Lily calls to say that they have run out of nuts and bolts while building the cooking area and asks him to look out for some. On the top floor of the gun shop Drunk finds some nuts and bolts and throws it in his backpack to bring home. He runs home and drops off the nuts and bolts for the cooking area and ammunition in the supply locker. It seems that the coffee Drunk drank isn't helping since he's about to fall asleep on his feet and has Thick McRunfast take over so he can get some sleep.
    ?.jpg
    Thick grabs a backpack, pistol, and blade from the supply locker before going out to the gun shop to turn it into an outpost, like Drunk should have but forgot to. At the shop he finds some 5.56 rounds that Drunk missed and then turns the building into an outpost. Once that's done Lily calls him to say that Slab has been spotted and to ask Thick to look for him. He goes to the warehouse that Slab was spotted at but all he finds are some zombies inside. The zombies put up a bit of a fight and Thick runs out of pain relievers.
    ?.jpg
    ?.jpg
    After stocking up on pills at an outpost he continues his way to another warehouse looking for Slab. Again, the warehouse is like the last, no Slab and all it has is some zombies. After searching the second warehouse he hears over the radio that the cooking area was finished and Iolo has started preparing a feast. In the third warehouse Thick once again has to fight off some zombies and sees no sign of Slab, on the bright side the zombies are making for some good fighting practice since his fighting skill had gone up to level 2 earlier and is almost to level 3. The next building to search is a house nearby and Thick goes to it hoping to finally find Slab. On the way he encounters a group of zombies that prove to be a bit troublesome, before he's able to take them out a feral zombie rushes him. Thick is knocked down but is able to knock the freak off and get to his feet, downing some pills he heads to the back door of the house hoping to find Slab and have him help fight off these zombies. He barely makes it inside before the feral charges in after him and starts attacking him. The group of zombies from outside then start making their way inside and some zombies inside start after Thick as well, with the back exit blocked and no sign of Slab he heads for the front door to get out of the house. At the door he gets knocked down by the feral and he tries to knock it off of him until...
    ?.jpg
    (Dammit. God. Fucking. Dammit. When I took Thick out I didn't want to get into a situation like this. His max vitality isn't that high in the first place and with most of skills at low levels I wanted to get some training in for him. Between the house and the warehouse I was taking out a few zombies one at a time, but it was draining my stamina so I had to run when I got surrounded by zombies and the the feral jumped in. I'm surprised by the fact that I made it in the house in the first place, I expected to be knocked down by the feral before I made it to the back door. I went inside the house hoping to find Slab who could help kill zombies and draw them off of me, in hindsight going in the house was the wrong choice, I should have gone back to the warehouse. I didn't find Slab in the house and instead I added more zombies that wanted to eat me. The feral knocked me down once inside and I was able to knock it off but once the feral knocked me down again it was over. Fuck difficulty level 2. Also, if you can't tell what is happening in the screenshot, in front of the feral is Thick, and behind it is Thick's legs.)
    PLA takes over for Thick and goes to a warehouse to look for materials. She uses the back of a car to take out a horde on the way there. In the warehouse she finds two stacks of materials and a sledgehammer, loading one of the stacks into the back of the car she drives home. With the new materials work is started on a garden and PLA makes another trip to the warehouse for the rest of the materials.
    ?.jpg
    After dropping the materials off at home PLA has to talk to Windy who's taking Thick's death particularly hard. PLA takes her to a building to clear it of zombies.
    P: You holding up okay?
    W: Yeah. Seems like we just can't catch a break.
    P: Seems like things have hit you especially hard.
    W: Could we not do this right now? Please?
    They reacha warehouse and clear it of any zombies. Since the warehouse had already been searched beforehand they go home.
    P: Listen, I understand where you're coming from. We've all lost a lot. I know things are looking pretty bleak to you, but just try and remember, everybody's here for you.
    At home Windy goes to bed to get some rest and PLA goes to the house where Thick died to retrieve his backpack. Entering the house she sees the remains of Thick, not much is left since the zombies ate most of his remains. She does a quick search of the rest of the house to make sure there are no zombies inside and in one of the rooms she spots Slab's remains, after the zombies killed Thick they must have found Slab and killed him as well. After calling Lily and telling her that Slab died here as well she loads their belongings into a rucksack and heads home.

    She takes out some of her anger on some zombies along the way. She drops the fallen comrades belongings into the supply locker and then meets with some other survivors about clearing an infestation. Oscar is already waiting for her at our home and he shows her on the map where the infestation is.

    Apparently the water has dried up and zombies have been congregating in the area. They drive out to dried up pond and PLA parks the truck at the waters edge. They run out to the infestation and get ready to fight, a few zombies hear them and come through some bushes to attack them. The zombies are easily taken care of and the three survivors go through the bushes and kill the screamer that was luring zombies to the area. With the infestation cleared PLA drives home to get some sleep.
