"Great!" The clerk replies. "I just hate people who don't believe in us! Did you know that this building is invisible to people who believe in zombies?" That sounds impossible. "So, what do you need help with?"
"Well, I had this weird dream..." You describe the dream to her.
"That sounds like a message!" She exclaims. "Good thing you received that. Here's how we can help you prepare." You are given a zombie survival manual.
"And, if you come back tomorrow, we'll give you some weaponry to defend yourself!" The clerk says.
"Sure!" You say. Then you go home.
It is now late at night. What do you do now?
a) Read the manual
b) Sleep

You enter the building cautiously, wondering what the inside will look like.
The interior is just as ornate as the exterior. You wonder why such a serious-sounding company has such a fancy building.
You make your way to the front desk.
"Can I help you, sir?" The lady at the counter asks.
"I was just wondering what this building is." You reply.
"Well, this company is called the Impending Zombie Apocalypse company, shortened to I.Z.A., as shown on our sign. This company is dedicated to the prevention of that. We're willing to help anyone who believes in us. Are you interested?"
This reminds you of your dream.
Do you believe them?
a) Yes
b) No

I like that you're so into the game!
That makes me feel good.
Hmm...from watching this I realize what should I do if one of my teammates get bitten. I'll need to make a small compartment of glass walls at the back of my bus, but I don't have time to build it now so I'll just take some tall slabs of glass from my workshop and put it in my bus. But at the last minute, I paint "The Road to Survival" on the sides of my bus in black.
OK.
I tell my friends to come with me on a road trip, I take a prayer book for, well I think you'll know why (to pray for survival), and we head out west to my sister's house. I tell my friends the truth after ten miles. I had dreams about an Impending Zombie Apocalypse and about IZA Co. and how their building can only be seen by zombie believers. How I got these guns *hands them guns* from them and how I had to use my friends to help me survive while helping them survive at the same time. I tell them this road trip is actually going to my sister's place and then my parents to help them and then keep running 'till we're capable of fighting back. And if they leave on the highway, they won't survive. I gotta station 2 submachine gunners in the back with 4 rifle gunners, and 1 submachine gunner at each side with 2 rifle gunner. Everyone in the back gets a machete, two people at the sides get a machete, the one at front gets machete, and the remaining get a crowbar. Everybody gets a rifle and the packs if grenades go in the back. I will drive with a submachine gunner. I don't want you guys to misunderstand, I am trying to protect you.
This sounds like a good plan, except for the fact that your friends might think you're crazy. People won't believe what they can't see.
My Defensive Layout
Here's what you do:
1. Type the layout.
2. Take a screenshot of the layout.
3. Upload the screenshot (try Photobucket or ImageShack).
4. Post the picture here.
That's what I usually do.
MrStuff, what does "Dexterity" do?
Dexterity helps determine who goes first in a battle. It can also help in other circumstances, such as trying to run away from zombies.
And while I'm at it, I'll tell you what the other stats do as well.
Strength helps you deal and resist damage. It can also help in other circumstances, such as trying to break down a door.
Endurance determines how many turns you can go in a battle before becoming exhausted. Once you are exhausted, you will not be able to do much.
And you should mention the food and fuel consumption.
I'll tell you at the end of the trip. That just makes it easier for me.

You wake up one morning from a very weird dream. Here is basically what happened:
In the dream, a man came up to you, and told you that you had one week to prepare for the impending zombie apocalypse.
"Zombies!?" You exclaimed. "They don't exist! How can there be an apocalypse?"
"See for yourself." The stranger pointed to several zombies lumbering towards you. "Prepare." Then the stranger vanished.
You turned towards the zombies. You looked around, but there was no weapon of any sort. You tried to run, but you were stuck to the ground. You could only watch in horror as they got to you.
Then you woke up.
"I wonder what it means." You say to yourself as you get ready for work.
As you are walking down the road, you come across an ornate building with "I.Z.A. Co." written on the front. You look around, and see that no one else is paying attention. You wonder why. Then you remember that you have to go to work.
When you are finished with work, you remember that strange building you saw. You wonder if you should look around. On the other hand, however, you are pretty tired. What do you do?
a) Enter the building
b) Go home to rest
