I never reveal all my cards, just enough to get your attention. You said summon, that implies necromancy or demonology. Neither of which will end well for the summoner. But if the players can come up with a way to do it... Immune to infection does not stop you from being ripped limb from limb. How do you suppose they build the boot without the zombies catching up to them when they are just one day away? It's plausible but very dangerous. I'll give you that. It might not work as you think given the terrain but if the players can make it... That is for the players to discover. Sadly plot armour isn't as foolproof these days. Killing off the main character is becoming commonplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, according to the write up, the reanimated dead were fine for the first few weeks. Thus, one can assume that they do not bear the decrepit appearance most associate with zombies. With this in mind, the government did not take preparatory measures to safeguard a zombie apocalypse. Perhaps some of the ex-dead were government officials before they... turned?

Sadly, very few government officials had read Elantris. Those who had were almost able to convince their superiors that the best solution was to let all the Zombies wander into the big cities lured by the prospect of fresh meat, and then trap them there. Further suggestions to dismantle the military and allow merchants with private armies to rule the survivors were met with ridicule. As a result, no part of this genius plan was implemented. Almost 1/3 of the way to our maximum player count. How far can we get before Alvron decides to make us stop running? The Zombies could catch us at any moment... Oh look, they found us! Thankfully, a mere two Zombies would be easy to deal with. All Leon had to do was break out his steamroller and it would all be over. Leon started patting his pockets for keys before realising that he was not at home and this group of refugees he'd caught up with definitely didn't have a steamroller. Leon trusted his machete and leather armour against a mere two Zombies, but there had to be a better way to deal with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mailliw73 he/him Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Manny picked up his phone when he saw the duo of zombies. “They’re here. Sal, buy me all the garbage trucks in town.” He texted Sal, once the assistant had bought out the waste companies, and had him order the drivers of the trucks to run over anything undead.

StrikerEZ he/him Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 (edited) Lachlan McZombie hated four things in life. First, he really hated the zombies. Ironic, considering his family name was McZombie.... Second, he hates counting. Thirdly, he hates working with others. Thankfully though, Lachlan was willing to put aside his hatred of working together as a team in order to fight his first hatred, zombies. He pulled out his trusty pocket knife and began to start cutting off branches from the nearby trees. Next, he started whittling down the ends with his knife in order to make good spears for the rest of the party. Finally, he noticed that Manny appeared to be ordering all the garbage trucks in town...considering the fact that they were not really close to any towns, as far as he was aware, he thought that wouldn't be much help with the two zombies they'd spotted.

Fifth Scholar he/him Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Friedrich could not believe what his senses were telling him. Not only had the government failed to handle the uprising, but it would be his duty to assume partial responsibility for the removal of these undead? The Zombies looked to be mindless and beaten back easily, but if these two would cause droves more to descend upon them, their deaths may not be the best outcome; who knew what sort of network connected these gruesome beasts. He sighed again. With little practical knowledge of combating undead hordes, he was left with what the vague outline of popular culture in these states presented. The description was not encouraging. Fire and decapication were likely beyond their abilities at the moment. He turned to Leon, who was clearly a better military strategist than the rest of the government put together. “Do you reckon these things could stand up to or cross running water?” he asked as the two drew closer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d forgotten the forwardness of the citizenry here, and the often overly familiar natures they employed. Still, he couldn’t fault their bravery, as evidenced by “Tanky Boi”’s offer of aid. He smiled tersely at the exuberant fellow. “Thank you for your offer of assistance, sir. I’m sure you’ll be a valuable asset in combating these undead hordes. However, do you have a plan for dealing with these two?
