So, have I ever shot a man in the side of the head with an arrow to analyze the impact results? No, no I haven't.
Then don't criticize my choice of the bow.
Samurai would wax and sharpen their katanas for hours using a special process(So no, not durable.). They're good at one thing, and that is: killing.
I think that a modern Katana would be perfectly suitable for
chopping firewood.
You've been trapped in a town infested with Lzies. The military has blockaded everyone in, regardless of who they are. You're located in a suburban house just two miles South of the blockade, and you might be able to sneak out. Huge hordes of Lzies are romping around in the streets, and if you attract their attention their is no way that you will survive. What do you do?(Stealth scenario. Lzies have a slightly better sense of smell than humans, but their sight is as good as an eagle's.)
Scenario! Let's see here...
So, I have two miles of zombies between me and freedom, and they're too strong to fight. I suppose my best bet would be to travel light, since speed is of the essence. First thing to take would be money. It's light, easy to carry, and essential if I want to obtain food and lodge after making it out of the city. I'd probably take some red meat with me, to use a s a distraction if end up getting any lzies on my tail. I'm assuming that they'd take the bleeding, unmoving target than the one speeding away from them. I'd probably travel by ATV, my neighbors own a set and I could easily hotwire it or steal the key. As far as weaponry goes, would take my dad's Smith & Wesson, as well as my Wakizashi. both are pretty light, but quite effective. I'd also take a pry bar for getting through doors. After stealing the ATV I'd probably stay off road to avoid larger clusters of zombies. If I found one or two alone, I'd take them out with the blade, or shoot them. If I ended up running into a larger cluster, say 5+, I'd use some of the meat I brought to distract them and drive away. I'd work my way south down to the barricade. After coming within about 100 yards of it, I'd ditch the ATV, sword, and meat (keeping the gun and crowbar). I'd find a way to sneak through the barricade. I can't really be more specific on how, since all I was told was that there was gonna be a barricade and I could probably get past it. I'd make my way to the nearest town from there.
DURN. I can haz membership?
I was also wondering, what exactly do club members do? At first I thought that we made a scenario and played our way through it until we were dead, undead, or rescued.
I also wrote up a virus profile thingy for the one in the scenario I wrote.
Name: Naegleria Vomica
Symptoms Prior to Death: Necrosis of skin and muscle tissues, causing the victim to become severely weakened. As the parasite eats the brain, dementia will ensue and death will follow shortly.
Symptoms After Death: The frontal lobes of the brain have been nearly destroyed, preventing the use of higher logic and reason. The behavior of the Zombie will be near entirely instinctual. This will make them violent and very effective at hunting prey. They are stealthy compared to other types of Zombies,and are quite spry. The muscles will not regenerate after death, so these zombies will not be much stronger than the average human.
Method of Transmission: The parasite is waterborne, but it can also be transmitted through a host if it can enter the blood stream. i.e. bites, scratches, etc. This parasite can effect mammals, but no other vectors are known.
The exact origin of this disease is unknown. It is known that it was original a mutated strain of the parasitic amoeba Naegleria Fowleria, or "The Brain Eating Amoeba." This original strain attacked brain and muscle tissue, causing weakness, internal bleeding, and dementia. It was nearly always fatal. The mutated strain could divide at a far greater rate than the original, and caused the regeneration of vital organs after the death of the victim. The damage to the brain, however, was irreparable. This caused its hosts to turn into violent, brainless fiends with no thought other than to hunt and kill. The disease had an incredibly short incubation period, symptoms would be present within a mere 2 hours of exposure. Without immediate medical treatment, a victim would be dead within 12 hours and back on their feet half an hour after that. As the original strain was extremely hard to treat, no cure has yet been found for the new one. It is widely held that you can avoid Zombification by amputating any wounded body part. The mutation started in the western portion of Oregon, and began spreading throughout the water system. It was not long before it had made it into Portland's major rivers and reservoirs. The population has been hit hard, and it is unknown if there are any survivors within the city limits. Despite efforts to quarantine the city, the disease has spread to cities south and east of Portland. It will soon spread to the rest of the continent if a cure is not found promptly.
