Ashley- Ashley nods, and turns about, gripping the handaxe, and lights a second flare (in daylight). They were going to do everything they could to save Alex now. And hopefully not leave Davin too long. He worried about him down there in this kind of weather, in the stink and the basement... "...Johnson, come on..." Ashley gestures that they should get going, and follows the tracks as fast as he can without slipping and falling on his face.

After Ash departed in pursuit of the cannibal, Patti dragged herself to her feet and headed back towards the charnel house. She used her hammer to break some glass then reached in and opened the door. She lit a flare and started in.
She didn't have to go far because the floor was caved in just inside the door. She barely stopped before falling in herself. She held the flare out and looked in. She called weakly, her voice cracking on the inhale."Davin, *are* you down there?"

Micah followed Ash's steed still feeling panicky. Why did so many monster want to eat people? He wasn't being careful in his worrying and slipped disastrously on some ice landing hard on his back."FUCK! ASH? Can I have a hand up?"

Ashley- Ashley offered a hand to Micah, getting steadier footing, lowering his weapon for a moment. He was tense as a wire and although he wasn't the bulkiest man around, Micah felt that most of his body was probably muscle and sinew. He hauled him up and patted him off roughly. "...You alright?"

Micah let himself be helped up but there was now a dull ache in his backside. Fan-fucking-tastic.“I'm okay. Hey! I just had a fucking idea, this table leg could be made into a fucking stake like on Buffy! Kick arse, right?”

Ashley- Ashley ponders for a little while, and then lights up, raising the ax a little bit."Good idea. Put it down so that I can break it off at an angle and make it sharp." Ashley makes a gesture which seems to ask which part of the table leg he wants to have chopped!

Micah dropped it and pointed the handle end and shrugged. When Buffy did it, it just magically formed a point, he wasn't a carpenter.

At the main entrance to the church, looking down into the hole... Davin- "Patti? Did you guys get... that fuckin... guy?" Suddenly, a vague ruckus that Patti had been hearing in the distance & previously attributed to zombies began to increase in volume. It was a strange grinding, like a car crash in slow motion, and rhythmic thump. It seemed to be coming from out on 14th Ave. Davin- "The fuck is that?" On the trail of the Beast...
Ashley and Micah were beginning to follow the tracks again when they heard a crazy sound in the street behind them. Sparing backward glances, they saw something very large bouncing down the snowy street, making a huge racket.
Is it...? It looks like a 1983 Plymouth Reliant hopping down the road like a freakish overgrown insect, folding and unfolding in the middle as it goes. And it's headed your way!

"No... damn thing healed faster than I could shoot it. I'm hurt, probably not as bad as you." Patti looked over her shoulder in alarm. She looked back at Davin."Fuck... I need to... *sigh*... take this... this place looks like a ghost factory." She very carefully tossed a flare down to land beside Davin.
She turned and headed outside to see what the hell was making the racket. What. The fuck. Is that?
She wasn't sure she had seen an animated object before. This one kind of reminded her of the human centipede they found in Tukwila. She had no weapons that would hurt this thing.
She looked around frantically for the largest vehicle she could find that might also have been abandoned in a hurry (and therefor still have the keys in it). She had learned from Ash how to hotwire a car, but she didn't want to have to fight that right now.

"FUCKING SHITBALLS!!" Micah looked wildly about for some kind of escape. A car monster? Was this fucking Mad Max? Must be a bloody Thursday. He needed to parkour the heck out of this thing's way.

Ashley- Ashley stared at the car, and then his eyelids fell as if it was the next ridiculous thing he could have expected. He looked for a concrete building to run within in the meanwhile, and followed Micah's lead for one.
Ashley wasn't a parcour artiste like Micah but he was worried about being smooshed horribly by the roaming Christine."...What the hell..."

It did seem almost as if the thing had noticed them, and was picking up the pace. The Cash & Carry was probably nasty with rotten meat, but it was made out of thick, large bricks. Micah & Ashley ran in there, to the extent they could think, thinking this delay was intolerable.
Patti knew the parking lot was a waste of time and ran through the back alley to the stretch of Leary in front of TJ's. It was a bit clogged with cars. She went to the best spot for one that wouldn't be hemmed in.
An SUV with a nasty smear of old death coming out of the passenger side still had keys in the ignition, and she clambered over the grisly mess to get to the driver side. (She had to use the passenger side because the driver side was smashed against another SUV.)
As she was making the SUV churn with electricity, using fiddly tricks to try and get some gas moving, in the rearview she saw the freakish thing slam into the door of the Cash & Carry. It shattered the whole works there, cracked some brick, and leapt back for another go.
Inside the C&C, Ashley and Micah had waited at the entrance for a moment, hearing the sounds of more zombies than they'd prefer to deal with from deeper in the store. Suddenly, the front door and windows closest to it blasted out, and the banged up monstrous car bashed itself against the frame trying to squeeze in. As they looked behind, they saw an ugly bunch of customers coming out of the aisles.

Ashley- Ashley dashed into the store, and decided that the moment may be best explored by dashing inside and through the back exit if he could manage it. If his way was blocked he'd attempt to kick down the offending zombie and run past it.
How were they going to save Alex if they were so busy saving themselves? He was pretty sure that piece of crap car was going to batter itself to bits before getting to them. [dice=20+4] [rand=1693536262027919386955020669847733532848302274942404345797304995358]

((I take that to mean Ashley is going to try to football rush through the zombie linemen, and we can assume Micah will use parkour.
Ashley use an attack roll (d20+4) and Micah parkour (d20+4). Football would normally be easier, but there are an awful lot of them in the confined space - whereas Micah will be going over the top so his difficulty won't increase. Same for both of you: Get 15 or better.))
