Seth took up the rear, letting the others get there first despite being one of the faster runners. He wanted to draw any 'hounds' from the others. He took three more shots.

The first shot was really wide, because of the distraction of trying to understand the new agenda. The second hit a hound in the neck and didn't slow it. The third hit one in the head and took it out. Stevie moved close by Seth, ready to step forward if the zombies got too close for comfort.
Ben, Kyle, and Beau got out into the courtyard. Kyle ran to take out a zombie that was getting close and double back, and for a weird moment Ben remembered soccer in junior high PE class. Seth and Stevie got to the door at the same time as the hounds, forcing Stevie up to bat.
Stevie- "Come on!"
The first attack hit the head but the thing's forward momentum shoved him off balance and the second attack missed. The closest remaining one snapped at him but he managed to step back.
As they backed out onto the courtyard, the gunshots from elsewhere died down. Now, the hounds were coming sloppily, falling over each other and barely managing to get out at the fighters one at a time - just as Ben planned.
It seemed like there were over a dozen in sight, with even more behind the surging mob.

Ben looked inside and saw what they had to deal with. Ben- "Damn. That's a horde. Can't let those out in the streets. We should just shut the doors and give them a sliver to poke their heads and arms out of." Because that ought to make them sitting ducks. Ben looked around to see if there might be any way to keep the doors shut after they left, or if they'd actually have to fill one or both sides with enough corpses to prevent the doors from budging.

Seth- "Hoo..." Seth kept blastin'.

One of Ben's plans was coming to fruition without much effort. Seth could easily aim at the things this close, and as they emerged, he blasted them. One clambered over another over another, and his gun shots were about a second apart until he ran out of bullets. The clumsier ones coming over the top Seth and Stevie took out with spear and sword, and the door was officially jammed up.
Meanwhile, the regular styled zombies began to thicken. Beau didn't destroy them - just tangled them up and knocked them down. Kyle used a standard overhand axe to the head on anything he could get to. Kyle- "Nope!"
Beau- "Il ne s'arrête jamais..."
Kyle's moves were as clumsy as one would expect of a gangling nerd in a hurry, but zombies were clumsier. Beau was like something out of an action movie, and his pretzel zombies didn't manage to untangle themselves. Seth- "Damn that's hot!"

In the distance, some peeps came into view across yon field. 'Twas the source of earlier gunfire, and it looks like everyone came out of that encounter none the worse for wear.

Beau- "...I don't see the mummy..."

Ben glanced in the direction of the other group. Indeed. No mummy. Whatever that meant. One thing at a time. Ben- "Time to go, right?" Ben tried to help out by knocking some zombie skulls.

Ben managed to take out two. Together with the others, they'd really made the area feel safe to move through. But yes, if they didn't do that moving soon, it could get ugly.
((We'll wait for a few more peeps to check in before proceeding.))

Ashley- "Hey, it's just us!" A wild Ashley appears wielding a single sword. It was becoming a catchy club it seems.

Seth- "Oh haha, Beau-- they didn't run into the mummy, that's just silly! He might still be around here though, so we should keep an eye out."
Beau- "Hm..."
Seth- "Hey Ashley! Are you guys okay? There's sure some crazy stuff around here."

Ben- "Well, we've got a school full of fast zombies, and a monsterguy on peglegs. Seemed harmless now, but who knows what kind of powers he might get when night falls?" Ben really wanted to get out of there.

Ashley- "Patti, do you want my crowbar?" He offered. He still had a sword, though it was getting dull and was becoming more of a blunt force trauma object at this point.
"... Maybe we should try to question the peglegged thing. It is a shame it was not our mummy, but it was /a/ mummy that we destroyed, I hope."
Stevie- "Ben was in the back and didn't see clearly - the fast zombies broke peg-leg's neck. He's done." He admittedly did think that mummy's powers were a little lackluster for powerful magic using beings, but maybe it was worse at night. This made him leery of staying too much longer. Ashley- "..Fast zombies?"

Seth- "You-wha-you- MUMMY?! Are you--w-seriously?! Did he-- like with the wrappings and-- Did you look for any clues? ..I gotta see this!" Seth ran off in the direction of the pool, Beau considered for a couple seconds, and followed.
