## Storyline

### Prologue Sessions:

#### Mikhael

Mikhael goes to work with Dr. Noah Butcher and Dr. Miko Kinoko on a project designed by the US government as revenge for 9/11. During cleanup for the night, Butcher accidentally bumps the concoction. Mikhael returns the next morning to find the concoction shaking, and the usually early Miko and Butcher nowhere in sight. Mikhael tries to contain the concoction in a drawer, before it explodes out into a swarm of tentacles. Mikhael fights it with a fire extinguisher, but like a hydra, it grows two heads where one was cut off. Mikhael is pressed against the wall, and causes a chemical reaction with his lighter that casues an explosion, supposedly killing the creature and causing a massive explosion. Mikhael pulls the fire alarm and gets out of the building, finding Butcher being late to work. Mikhael and Butcher see a yellow cloud, and decide to investigate. They see a group of people convulsing from having inhaled the gas. They kill them, and Butcher takes Mikhael to his lab, discovering that the chemical reaction turned the weapon into a sentient creature who had offspring that infected the humans with a parasitic fungus. Mikhael and Butcher begin working on a cure. A month passes, and the survivor camp of Faraday is tested. Butcher initially plans to test it on one of the civilians, but Mikhael decides against it, asking him to test it on him instead. Butcher agrees, and injects his left arm with the fungus. After the arm becomes slightly discolored, Mikhael gets the cure injected into him, and it does nothing. Mikhael then gets his arm chopped off, letting out a muffled "fuck" in response. Mikhael gets bandaged up, and Butcher and him set off on making a cure, and getting something to replace his arm with.

#### Jimmy

Jimmy bails Nicholas Briggs out of jail with only the evidence of a condom wrapper, the used condom, a bloody handgun, bullet casings, and a broken window. He bails him out with the excuse that Nicholas was at a furry convention, because the condom was filled with his post-gay-furry-midget-porn jizz. He slides Nicholas a hard-drive full of the stuff in case anyone suspects him. He leaves his business after complimenting his ass-istant's ass, before being kidnapped by a masked White and Pink. They take him to the desert with a bag over his head, before revealing his new location, and their intention to get Jimmy to get Brownie out of jail. They threaten him with his life, before Jimmy tries to persuade White for money, which doesn't work. In the end, Jimmy becomes their "guy," and gains 10% of their future revenue. White returns to his house to grab some supplies, before he finds looters killing Walt Jr. and attempting to rape Skyler, before Pink and Jimmy enter. Walt Jr. bleeds out with his last words being "Dad, where's my breakfast?" Jimmy convinces them to step off of Skyler due to her having "grody coochie" and they step off, only after slitting Skyler's throat. White breaks down in his iconic fall meme, before Pink shoots the throat-slitting Looter. Jimmy asks why the looter is doing this, before he says he's selling the tv for meth, and killing all witnesses. Jimmy calls him out on his bullshit before the looter slips on milk, gets hit with a chair by Pink, and dies after Jimmy slaps him in the nuts extremely hard. Jimmy comforts White by saying that Jimmy and Pink are his new family now, and that they're super tight before zombies show up. They are forced into the RV and end up at a traffic accident, and are forced to get out of the RV to escape the zombies, before White and Pink get separated from Jimmy thanks to the horde. Jimmy ends up in Warren with the new goal of finding White and Pink.

#### Rachel

Rachel, along with Daryl, Charlie, and Alice, are deployed on a mission to help contain the infection. They are deployed into a horde of husks, and try to escape, before the helicopter becomes dysfunctional. Alice and Daryl are killed, with Charlie making a sacrifice to save Rachel, killing most of the husks before succumbing to the horde. Rachel then finds a man named James Warren, who has started a survivor camp outside his home. Rachel aids in the support of these survivors for a couple weeks, before a horde comes. James Warren saves the camp from the husks with an improvised explosive that kills him too. Warren as a community is named in his honor, and the camp continues to thrive for a while.

#### Vladimir

Vladimir and his daughter Rose leave their house to escape the city, though find that their route has been blocked. They head to the hospital to find it nearly empty of people, aside from a slender person with a bloated head. Vladimir uses a pillow to distract it, before coming back to kill it. The creature screams, alerting some husks. Vladimir takes Rose to the hardware store, to where he kills another husk, before a seemingly dead husk bites a chunk out of Rose's leg. Vladimir kills the husk, and cuts off her leg with an axe, before fetching gauze from the hospital to cover it. He makes her a peg leg out of items from the store, and they head to Warren, as they see people have arrived. Pete introduces the place, and helps set up a place for Rose to learn to shoot. Rose aces it, and Pete converses with Vladimir about what to do if she would have to kill someone. Vladimir clarifies that he wants to keep her innocence intact, and that he wouldn't make her kill anyone. He proposes that he, with his military background, could be Warren's gun. Pete appreciates the offer. Summary cuts to James Warren's death, as featured in Rachel's backstory.

### Session 1: New Blood (1/3/2023)

Starting Characters: Mikhael, Samuel Tyson, Vladimir

The party begins in the basketball court-turned survivor camp named Warren. Vladimir disrespects Mr. P, prompting a “you can’t see me” in response. Sam calls Jimmy a dumbass, to which he is offended. The party decides to help Kent find batteries to communicate with his wife and child, and head to Walmart. Vladimir grabs an entire 12-pack of A&W Root Beer and drinks it. They grab the batteries, as well as a case of sprite and the box of twinkies. Vladimir gets some M&Ms for Rose, as they are her favorite candy. They return to Warren, giving Kent the batteries, as well as Vladimir headpatting Rose and giving her the M&Ms. They break down the A&W case as cardboard for Arthur, and Mr. P’s hat gets stolen and given to Rose. Vladimir gives Pete a twinkie, and Kent gets his radio working. He doesn’t find his family, but instead attracts the Vagabonds, a cult-like group of looters and killers led by former wrestler Scott Joyce, better known as Mr. Megadeath. Sam sends in Bobby as a peace offering and he is promptly killed. Hank retaliates, almost dying. Hank hides behind Arthur, getting him shot. Kent is offered as a peace offering and he is kidnapped. Husks show up due to the commotion, scaring away the Vagabonds and scratching Jimmy, albeit not killing him. The party is forced to leave Warren, and find a new home.

While Pete, Annie, and Lance suggest locations (bar, church, and motel respectively), Mikhael denies all three, heading to a gun store instead. He finds the gun store ransacked and gutted, with it being one of the first places raided at the start of the apocalypse. They head to the church, and inside they find a commotion, Valentino has been infected, and his brother, Hector, is trying to save his life. Hector can’t bring himself to kill him, so Vladimir obliges, knifing him, before comforting Hector. Pete and Sarah reconvene, with Pete relaying to her the status of Kent’s whereabouts. Mikhael tries to punch Adam in the face, before St. Freeman, with his booming voice, commands that there will be no fighting in this church. Mikhael takes blood samples from both Hector and Valentino, and Vladimir and Rose slap Adam’s bald head and rub it like a genie lamp. The party finds out that the Church robbed the gun store, and has a stockpile. St. Freeman offers to donate some of their weaponry to the party, but his generosity is treated with hostility, with Vladimir and Mikhael not trusting the churchgoers. This leads to a stickup where St Freeman pulls out his guns and Mikhael holds St. Freeman up at gunpoint, Vladimir uses Adam as a human shield, and Sisters Helena and Agatha point guns at Vladimir and Mikhael. Mikhael tells them that if anyone moves, St. Freeman dies. Pete talks everyone down, and the guns are put away. Mikhael receives his tactical musket, Vladimir receives a sniper rifle, and Sam gains a powerful hand cannon with cool engravings. Hector and Adam are brought along with the party, with Hank trying to stay at the church and mourn. The party does not let him stay, but gives him a cross as compensation. Sam gains some holy water for good luck, with the church welcoming them back any time. Hector patches up Jimmy, and their next stop is Toys R Us.

Adam tells of how his family is dead, and Hector is called Mexican Hitler by Vladimir, to which he responds that he gets it a lot. Once in the Toys R Us, Rose gets a red lightsaber, Sam steals the lego sets, and after killing a husk, Vladimir throws a furby at Adam’s head. They go to Chick-Fil-A, and the place is abandoned, with rotten food being the only things there. Vladimir and Sam try to egg Adam on to eat rotten chicken, eventually succeeding before he vomits it all up. Sam tries to egg Adam on to eat the vomit, but Mikhael talks him out of it. The party goes to the motel, with the Vagabonds not far behind. Mr. Megadeath rants to Mr. P about how he stole his fame, with Mr. P not even knowing who he is, doing the “you can’t see me” gesture again. Mr. P is shot, and the battle begins. White and Pink provide covering fire, while the rest stand at the sidelines. Scott Joyce is killed, and his Vagabonds commit suicide upon seeing him dead. Akira comments about it being "metal as hell." Mikhael decides to experiment on his arm, risking his other one for the sake of regrowing one. He succeeds, regrowing an arm slightly longer and stronger than his previous one, with sharp claws attached.

### Session 2: Long Road Ahead (1/10/2023)

Starting Characters:

Rachel Scott, Samuel Tyson, Fisherman Guy, Garlos

Vladimir and Rose hunker down in a motel room, while Mikhael is played as an NPC this session for story purposes.

The session opens up with the Vagabond van banging, and Sam opens the van, with Kent, Rachel, Fisherman Guy, and Garlos being inside. The gang decides to have White hotwire the van, to which he is confused but attempts it anyway. The party goes to the pet store after Sam calls Kent a pussy for getting kidnapped, which induces an outburst. At the pet store, Fisherman Guy picks up a husky after giving it a twinkie, naming it Ugly Bastard, after his favorite genre of hentai. Sam gets a himalayan cat, Garlos gets an orange cat he names Garfeldi, and Rachel gets some plastic trees for Eli. The party then goes to the Sunken Clam Bar, to find Baby CD being breastfed by Bridgette, one of the bartenders, before Sam slices Baby CD in half with his chainsaw, invoking surprised reactions from everyone in the bar. Garlos fixes the situation with his cat, while Fisherman Guy pisses on the floor, prompting Rachel to slip and fall on it. Stu, the other bartender, is asked if he’s a top or a bottom, and cries out that he’s a virgin. Noah asks them if they could help him get resources for making a cure, and Fisherman Guy intimidates him into revealing his intention. Noah had just arrived at his lab when the outbreak occurred, and Mikhael was at the forefront, being his assistant. The party is shocked, and Mikhael tries to clear it up. Fisherman Guy asks Noah his dick size, to which he is honest and says he has been compensating. Fisherman Guy then intimidates him into dropping his pants so they can know if he’s telling the truth, and Noah does so out of fear, shocking the bargoers and prompting a disappointed reaction from Rachel. They finally accept his deal at this point and they go to the pharmacy.

At the pharmacy, they find a tall, muscular woman looking for medicine. When probed by Fisherman Guy about this, she explains that it is for her brother, who has severe asthma. Rachel gives her an inhaler from her bag, before Fisherman Guy demands a reward and intimidates her into giving it back. She complies, and after stating that she has nothing on her, Fisherman Guy gets pissed off, and decides he wants to shoot her, before Rachel stops him. Sam, on the other hand, is not stopped, and Maxine is shot. Maxine throws medicine at the party after Fisherman Guy once again asks his proposition, and Sam double-taps her afterwards. They leave the pharmacy with some medication, and find some husks harassing a man holding a prosthetic leg. They kill the husks and grab samples, with the man wishing to join the party to give the Infected their lives back. Fisherman Guy kills himself, and the party returns to Noah, with him being pleased that they did it.

### Session 3: Wheel of Fortune (1/17/2023)

Starting Characters:

Rachel Scott, Samuel Tyson, Roger Lombardi, Garlos

Out from the bathroom emerges Roger Lombardi, who orders a cheeseburger from Bridgette. Rachel asks Cesar how his day went, and Lombardi asks about the suitcase he is after. Bridgette tells him that an old bald man in a suit had a suitcase like that, and passed through one day. Lombardi asks for cigarettes and a lighter, and Tucker says “rabbit ears.” Roger is confused, and asks again. Tucker obliges, saying the phrase again. After lighting his cigarette, Roger gives Sam Tucker’s lighter. Garlos drinks a shot of vodka, and Cesar tells Roger that the suitcase man has a rose tattoo on the back of his right hand. Bridgette asks the group if they could check on her niece Suzi at Roswell University, to which they accept it, only after Garlos takes another shot of vodka up his ass. On the way there, they find a commotion caused by some looters looting a jewelry store. The gang defeats the looters, before the owner of the jewelry store, Marvin, emerges, panicking, asking them not to shoot him. Roger calms him down and directs him to the bar.

Now at Roswell, the place’s sole fenced entrance is guarded by two guards, who ask their purpose. Rachel explains that Bridgette asked them to check on her niece, Suzi. The guards let them in, and the survivors are seen at a campfire. Roger asks them about the suitcase guy, before Suzi tells him that he hasn’t been to Roswell, though Ralph recounts a run-in with the man. Ralph was at a Home Depot looking for supplies when he briefly encountered the man. Rachel asks if Nathan can show her some mime tricks, before he cries out in a whiny tone that he’s not a mime. Sam threatens Ralph with a gun, and Garlos joins in. Rachel gets Eli to bite Sam, and Roger interrogates Ralph about his correlation with the man. Roger deduces that Ralph was telling the truth, but Sam and Garlos remain unconvinced. Sam throws a molotov cocktail at Ralph, causing him to scream and roll around on the ground in agony. Nathan pulls out a fire extinguisher and puts him out, and Rachel begins patching him up. Sam and Garlos are not satiated, and try to gun him down. Sam’s gun jams, but Garlos’ does not. Ralph dies, and Rachel calls a moment of silence. The two guards come in thanks to the commotion, and Nathan rats out Sam and Garlos. Rachel tries to get Suzi to come with them to see her aunt, though she refuses to come with Sam and Garlos. Sam tries to convince the guards and the people of Roswell that Ralph was both a murderer and a pedophile, but only Nathan believes the former and nobody believes the latter. Sam takes cover as the guards take aim, and the two guards are killed, before Sam double taps them. The party returns to the bar to tell Bridgette about Suzi. Roger tells her that she’s fine and asks for his reward. Rachel goes into more detail, saying that one of her friends died. Sam, Garlos, and Roger get pissed that she would snitch, but she amends the story by saying that her friend died of a heart attack. Bridgette is saddened by this, but glad her niece is okay.

Roger decides to follow his lead, so the party goes to Home Depot, and finds almost nothing. Sam grabs a hammer, and Roger finds a ripped piece of paper advertising the Golden Grin Casino. The party heads back to the bar to ask about it, and Roy knows all about it, and he knows the way. He offers to take them there, and the party accepts the offer. Before they leave, Garlos takes another shot of vodka through his urethra. As Roy is walking them along, the party encounters a horde, with the only escape being a sewer manhole. Roy begins climbing in, and the party follows suit. Thanks to the stench, Rachel and Sam put on masks to reduce the smell. Roy is asked about the husks, and has no idea why they’d surround them like that. Sam apologizes to Hank about sacrificing Bobby to the Vagabonds, and he thanks him, even if he can’t forgive him yet. Hank gets to pet Eli, and Roger asks Adam about his preference of condiment. Adam prefers ketchup due to its many uses. Sam asks Annie if she’s okay, and she responds that she is. Screaming is heard through the sewer tunnel, and the party investigates. They find a group of snazzily dressed mobsters harassing a group of homeless people. The snappy dressers make off with one man, and the clown screams “BOOOYD!!!” The party is left to fight the remaining men, and the clown contributes. One of the men runs away after the other three die, and Sam teabags The men he killed. Lucky pleads with them to help him get Boyd back, as while he is crazy, it’s very lonely in the sewers, and they’re one of their own. Garlos offers to give Lucky head, to which he declines. Roger pats Lucky down to see if he could trust him, and finds a bag of balloons and a set of mouth coils, as well as a few bullets. Sam wants Lucky to take off his makeup to see his true face. Lucky compensates him by taking off his clown nose, showing his massive ugly nose. Sam trusts Lucky, and the party takes his proposition. Lucky leads them through the sewers to reach the casino, and the party finds some husk corpses.

Once emerging from the manhole, they find a makeshift stage where a magician is performing a knife-throwing stunt with a random woman. The magician kills the woman with five knives, before throwing a card at Lucky after a failed card trick. He throws a birdcage at the party, and the battle begins. The party kill him, and he dies in a overdramatic fashion. Sam and Garlos take the woman’s body down, pin the magician on the wheel, and take turns throwing knives at him trying to break the high score the magician set. Neither succeed, but Sam reaches four and Garlos only makes one shot. The party enters the casino, seeing a man more snappily dressed than the rest of the people in there combined, who presents the oncoming execution to them. The woman next to him yells to them “Get me out of here, he’s crazy!” and Roger notices that the suitcase man is in the room. Boyd is strapped to the guillotine, and his life is now in the party’s hands.

### Session 4: The Nick of Time (1/24/2023)

Starting Characters:

Rachel Scott, Samuel Tyson, Roger Lombardi

Garlos stayed outside.

The party fights the Corsairs in an attempt to stop Boyd’s execution. The party kills three Corsairs before Sebastian starts to panic. Sebastian flees to the bathroom, and Shelby escapes his grasp, taking down one of the grunts. Sam kills the executioner, with Pablo rushing in to grab the wire from the guillotine before it sliced Boyd’s head off. Roger and Sam shoot the bald suitcase man, and Rachel gets Boyd out of the guillotine. Roger grabs the suitcase and takes a peek inside, keeping the nature of the contents to himself. Sam asks Boyd why he was in the guillotine, to which Boyd connects the Corsairs taking the homeless people for their sacrifices to Bill Clinton somehow. This prompts Sam to kill him, prompting a disappointed response from Lucky. Roger persuades Lucky that Boyd was a rapist, and Shelby is asked why she’s even here. She elaborates that that creep Sebastian kidnapped her and forced her to be his wife. Sam tells Lucky to get better jokes, to which he proclaims he tries his best. He is asked if they live in a society, to which he gives a response full of existential dread. As the party tries to leave, Lucky reminds them that Sebastian is still alive, and Shelby notes that he ran into the bathroom. The party initially doesn’t want to kill them, but Lucky says that he’ll come back to get them if he isn’t killed.

In the bathroom, the party searches the stalls for Sebastian. In the first stall they open, there is a corsair pooping on the toilet. Roger persuades him to kill himself and he does. Another Corsair is found peeing, and his head is slammed on his toilet, and while still peeing, he is dragged over to the first Corsair’s stall and given a prolonged swirlie in the doodoo water by Sam, later drowning. In another stall, Roger finds a Corsair and breaks his shins, and Roger steals the man’s hat. They finally find Sebastian, who is seen eating a banana sandwich. He pleads with the party to let him finish his last meal before killing him, but Roger has other plans. He steals the sandwich out of Sebastian’s hands, slaps him with it, and eats it. Roger then persuades Sebastian to jump off one of the Golden Grin’s balconies, and if he lives they’ll let him go. He jumps off the balcony and promptly dies instantly. Roger does the slots and wins a banana sandwich, and searches for cigarettes on the Corsairs before smoking one. Sam finds two revolvers, a boatload of cigarettes, and some bullets from the same method, and he gives the rest of the cigarettes to Roger.

### Session 5: We Didn’t Start the Fire (1/31/2023)

Starting Characters:

Rachel Scott, Samuel Tyson, Roger Lombardi, Garlos

Garlos went inside.

Roger looks for food supplies, finding a slew of canned foods. He takes three cans of Chef Boyardee ravioli, and pets Garlos’ cat. Rachel pets Eli and gets a can of Bush’s Baked Beans. Rachel makes some sloppy joes for the party, though burns herself with the boiling water. The party leaves and encounters a massive zombie horde, and tries to fight their way out. Adam is sacrificed to the horde, and Sam uses some of Garlos’ vodka to light some of the zombies on fire. Eventually, a woman on a motorcycle disperses the horde with a pipe bomb. After the party escapes that situation, a timeskip occurs.

The timeskip encompasses a week, and during that time, Hector turns and Mikhael loses his arm. Roger and Shelby take a trip to California, though they return after a couple days. For more information on what happened over that trip, see Roger or Shelby's article.

The party, on a supply run, encounters a zombie horde, before a buggy comes in and wipes them all out. One of the people on board notices the party, and screams “Oh shit! Survivors!” before driving closer. The guy gets out of the car and tells the party he wishes to bring them back to his base to supply them with weapons, food, and meds. Roger doesn’t trust them, but goes along with it, asking if the guy is from *Mad Max*. He retorts that Roger is an idiot because *Mad Max* isn’t real. Sam asks if he’s met Steve Irwin, and he replies that he hasn’t, saying that he’d love to meet him someday. Rachel tells him he looks cool, and he responds saying “Thanks Sheila!” The guys pick them up in their car, and take them to their base. They meet their leader, Skullcrusher, who gives them duffel bags full of supplies. The party opens them, and Sam’s contains food, Garlos’ contains guns, Rachel’s contains medical supplies, and Roger’s contains melee weapons. Roger takes a bat and names it “Heather,” and gets some barbed wire to wrap around it. Skullcrusher sends the party on their way, but not before assigning Axeloiler to help them get on their feet. When Roger asks about this, Skullcrusher whispers to him that Axel needs some sunlight. Rachel says that Axel will be their dear friend.

The party goes to the bar and Roger trains the party members outside. The party asks for quests, to which Miko, Cesar, and Edgar walk up. Miko is looking for coffee, Cesar is looking for car parts, and Edgar is looking to get Arthur’s paints from Warren. The party takes all these quests on, and sets off to Bobby’s grave. The party walks to the park, to where they find Akira screaming as he is being buried alive by a tall, slender, grizzled grave digger. He does not notice them until Roger holds Hank back so Sam can spit and pee on Bobby’s grave, which is labeled “Fat Kid.” Dexter notices them and the battle begins, with Sam peeing in Dexter’s eyes, blinding him. Roger ends the fight with a swift one-two, crushing Dexter’s jaw and skull with Heather. Roger kisses the bat before using Dexter’s shovel to free Akira from his tomb. Akira thanks them. Roger continues digging graves, digging up Bobby’s grave to see if he has his purse. Bobby indeed does, and Roger looks inside, finding some bullets, some cash, and some family photos. Roger gives Hank the family photos, and Sam forces him to look at his son’s decomposing corpse, in an attempt to make him get over Bobby. Hank is traumatized by this.

The party leaves for Starbucks to find Miko some coffee, before heading to the church, asking for quests. St. Freeman welcomes them and reports that they don’t have any. The party visits the Motel, to which Akira tells Dennis and Genevieve about what happened to him. He had apparently been on a supply run for days. White alerts the party to the fact that they successfully hotwired the van, and Axel suggests that the party should trick it out. White and Pink are convinced to join the party. Sam climbs on White’s RV to get the pizza off of the Motel’s roof. He succeeds, but just barely, scraping his knee in the process. He gets the pizza and jumps back down onto the RV, to which White asks him to be careful with it. Sam tries to persuade Hank that eating the week-old pizza will make his dick grow larger, though Hank isn’t convinced. Roger intimidates Isaac into giving him access to his truck. Sam rolls up the pizza and shoves it down Hank’s throat. The pizza distends his stomach and makes him feel sick. Roger pats him on the back to make him feel better.

The party decides to check up on Warren, only to find it on fire. A man is standing in front of the fire, masturbating. Sam revs his chainsaw to alert Mitch, and he turns around, inadvertently flashing the entire party. Roger shoots Mitch in the cock with his shotgun, blowing it off. Mitch falls over in pain, saying “You blew it off you bastard!” Mitch was incredibly pissed off due to the fact that not only did he lose his cock and balls, but he was just about to nut. When asked if he wants to die, Mitch responds that he wants to die because he can no longer jack off. Rachel walks up to him and says “It’s gonna be okay, sport,” in an attempt to console him. He uses his lighter and hairspray to burn Rachel, but she is mostly fine. Roger decides to end Mitch’s misery by shooting him in the head. The party returns to Miko with the coffee, and gets coffee in return.

### Session 6: The Thinnest Light… (2/7/2023)

Starting Characters:

Garlos, Samuel Tyson, Roger Lombardi

Rachel is played as an NPC this session.

The session begins at the Sunken Clam, where the party hears screaming outside. As it turns out, the remaining survivors of the Roswell fiasco have returned, with Suzi being pissed as hell and carrying two rifles. Dean walks to the party, hands in the air, pleading to not die and tries to join them. Tim does the same shortly after. Roger walks up, persuading her to drop her guns. She drops one, but keeps the other, keeping her eyes on Sam. Suzi is pissed at Sam due to the fact that he killed Ralph, who she was in a taboo relationship with, and wishes to target him. Roger holds Dean hostage, shooting Suzi in the arm, making her drop her gun. As Sam makes a molotov, Roger frees Dean, and Sam throws the molotov at Suzi, directly hitting her with it. Nathan cries about not having a fire extinguisher to save her, and Suzi slowly burns to death. The party investigates them, seeing no ulterior motives, and decides to let them go. Axel goes to get supplies, and the Roswell people head back from whence they came, and the party comes upon an unusual sight. A husk seemingly gives birth right in front of them. Roger is absolutely disgusted, with Akira sharing the same sentiment vocally. The birthed creature then says “Lizard” and Rachel is immediately entranced and wants to keep it. Roger is vehemently against this, and Akira tries to hit it with his crowbar, with it bouncing off. The creature says “Craig,” and Roger assumes that’s its name. Sam tries to stab it in the eyes with a broken vial, but the eyes, much like its flesh, bounce any and all damage off of it. Sam tries to pick him up and fails. Roger asks Rachel for gloves, and she gives them to him, to which Roger successfully picks Craig up. Roger climbs up a building’s ladder while carrying Craig, and drops him from it, with Craig making a crater as he hits the ground. Roger tries shooting Craig from far away, and the bullets bounce right off of him. Roger hotwires a nearby car and tries to drive it into Craig, though almost shoots himself out of the windshield in the process. Garlos puts Craig in the car and Roger shoots the gas tank, causing the car to explode. Craig is still fine. They go to the New Nestor River and Sam tries to trap Craig in a backpack before sending him down the river. After running away, the party rounds a corner, Craig is there. Rachel takes him and points out that he may have morals, considering he knows words. Sam tapes Craig’s mouth shut, before Craig forces his mouth open, eating the tape, before vomiting it up. Mikhael proposes to take him to Noah, and they do so.

Noah looks at Craig, deeming him fascinating. Roger explains that Craig fell out of a husk, Garlos explains the numerous attempts to kill it, and Rachel says she wants to keep it. Craig says his name to Noah, and Noah greets him in return. Noah tries to cut Craig with a scalpel, breaking it in the process. Noah gets a sample of Craig’s mouth slime, and Noah tells Rachel to take him with her for a while so they can collect field data on Craig, also complaining about his stench. Sam, Garlos, and Roger try to see who Craig follows, and he follows all three of them. The party goes to the church, to which St. Freeman freaks out, thinking Craig is a demon, and begins trying to exorcise him. Hank is scared of Craig, and St. Freeman elaborates about the basement all of the sinners get locked in. The party locks Craig in Adam’s car, before Craig breaks the window and follows the party again. Axel shows back up, commenting how Craig is ugly cute. Axel suggests that Roswell needs help, before Roger breaks to him the truth of what happened virtually 1 hour ago. On Axel’s suggestion, the party sleeps at the church for the night, and some Wheelers try to steal guns from the church. Sam shoots one, waking up the rest of the churchgoers, to which St. Freeman again yells to not have fighting in his church. Axel is extremely confused, as this is not typical Wheeler behavior. Roger shoots the other thief, and he and Sam loot the bodies. Roger finds bullets, a pistol, and a grenade. Sam immediately uses the grenade to try and kill Craig, shoving it in his mouth. Craig is unaffected aside from exhaling smoke, and now Sam has wasted a grenade. Roger finds a buggy outside, and on Axel's suggestion, the party heads to the Wheeler base to figure out what's happening.

On the way there, some Wheeler Spikecycles show up giving chase to the gang, to which Sam throws Craig at them, causing one to crash and the other to lose distance. Axel rams the remaining Spikecycle, and a modified hearse, dubbed the "Corpse Cart" shows up and tries to kill the party. The party fends it off, and escapes another wave of Spikecycles. The party sees some decomposing heads on pikes, both human and husk. Axel calls for Skullcrusher, and he arrives. Axel gives a rundown of the situation, with Skullcrusher misunderstanding it until Roger calms the situation down. Skullcrusher, now sure something is wrong, sends his right-hand man Spinemelter to investigate. Skullcrusher brings the party to a dinner, and only Garlos eats. Roger and Sam's suspicions prove right when Skullcrusher and the other Wheelers freeze before collapsing, and Garlos gets woozy. Roger tries to wake Skullcrusher up, and Sam threatens the awake Wheelers. Roger investigates and Sam crafts molotovs. Sam shoots one of the two Blitzers, and the Blitzer who wasn't shot retaliates, missing horribly. Sam sneaks up to them, killing the one that shot at them, before taking the downed Blitzer's weapons. Sam interrogates the loving Blitzer, asking why Spinemelter would do this. The Blitzer has no clue, and Sam kills him. The party comes to the conclusion that Spinemelter is sus, and Axel tells them that the emissary is going to frame them for Spinemelter's crimes.

The party goes back to the church, finding more Wheeler buggies, St. Freeman and the Nuns shoot at the Wheelers, with Sarah dead on the ground. Pete gets distraught, and sees Kent and Emily the same way. The party decides to help the church, with Roger and Sam shooting the same Blitzer at the same time, killing him. A Blitzer rushes Shelby, though she stabs him in the neck after he misses. Roger shoots a Blitzer, prompting him to run away, before Roger shoots him again, killing him. Roger goes inside, sneak attacking a Blitzer, before shooting the other before he can notice what’s going on. The party notices Spinemelter is nowhere in sight, and that two of the buggies made off with some guns. Roger jokingly remarks that the church can’t say God was going to help them, but St. Freeman counters with the statement that God sent the party to save them. Now at the Wheeler base again, the party is brought into the main meeting hall, and Skullcrusher has sentenced the party to death, clearly brainwashed by Spinemelter. Skullcrusher sends Blitzers at the party, before jumping onto the battlefield himself upon Spinemelter egging him on. Garlos yells at Spinemelter to stop babyraging, and Spinemelter starts coping. During the battle, Roger knocks Skullcrusher’s helmet off with Heather, and shortly after Garlos kicks Skullcrusher in the balls. Spinemelter tries to charge Axel with his machete, before being nearly decapitated by Roger’s throat slit. Skullcrusher explains that he was manipulated, and that the party was right. The party doesn’t forgive him, and Axel is elected as the new Wheeler leader. Roger hangs Spinemelter’s corpse up as a decoration, and Craig reappears, before Roger throws him at a Wheeler’s balls.

### Session 7: …In Our Darkest Hour (2/14/2023)

Starting Characters:

Rachel Scott (William), Samuel Tyson (Deeto), Garlos (Ink)

Roger is played as an NPC during this session.

After a day-long timeskip, the party witnesses a van crash, with someone getting flung out of the windshield. The sound makes Injectors show up, and the nerdy kid in the van screams “watch out for the needles!” Garlos learns this lesson the hard way, getting infected through his arm, before cutting it off. Seattle gets slammed into the van by the Smasher, killing her. After the party fights off the remaining infected, the horde encroaches, forcing the party to jump from the rooftops. The party can only jump across from the first building with a balcony, and Sam, Garlos, and Rachel make it across, in that order. After the rest of the party gets across, two remain. Roger jumps across, making the balcony creak, before Lance tries to jump across. The balcony breaks under him, causing him to fall into the alleyway. Roger climbs down the ladder to save him, and the horde encroaches. The sounds of Lance’s screams echo through the air as Roger shoots some bullets. Sam steals Craig from Rachel and throws him into the horde, killing a couple of husks.

Eventually, the party makes it to the Sunken Clam, and hears a commotion inside. Sam takes two tries but eventually kicks open the door, seeing a commotion. Stu is seen convulsing, and Miko and Noah are arguing. Portland notices the bulbous pustules forming on Stu, and tells everyone to get out, because “he’s gonna blow!” The Sunken Clam is destroyed in the blast. Everyone but four are accounted for. Tucker, Jacksonville, Edgar, and Noah. After the dust clears, a husk of Jacksonville, an Injector of Edgar, a crushed Tucker, and a seemingly perfectly fine Noah are seen. Noah begins freaking out as his cure supposedly works, before his stomach busts open, releasing tentacles that envelop him, turning him into a Smasher. Sam gets injected and is forced to cut off his leg, taking adrenaline to numb the pain. Jacksonville is thrown by Noah, and Edgar gets chainsawed by Sam. After Noah is supposedly killed, he mutates again, becoming the Treant. Garlos carries Sam away from the Treant, and the party hits the griddy. Roy is grabbed and crushed by the Treant, and eventually Noah is killed. Sam takes an antler from the Treant, and the party takes the lost Merrymakers to the Wheeler base, with Garlos explaining to Axel what happened. Axel and Pablo collaborate to make prosthetic limbs for the party, giving Mikhael a crossbow arm, Sam a peg leg made from the severed antler, and Garlos a normal prosthetic arm. Rachel becomes the Wheeler queen after Axel asks her to be it, and Rachel, Craig, and Axel share a family hug.
