After clearing some easy traps and killing some easy Runners, Joel got to another door, and when he forced it open it triggered an elaborate trap that snared his leg and hoisted him up into the air like a pinata! And then the Runners and Clickers started showing up, oh joy~
Now this is a story all about how. My life got flipped-turned upside down.
After many Clickers recreated the Spider man upside down kiss scene, though with through ripping instead of kissing, Ellie finally managed to jet Joel down, and Bill showed up just in time to stop Joel's face from being Runner chow. Yet there still were hoards left to fight...
Look, a distraction! No?
Eventually i figured out they just would keep coming, so I had to make a run for it. The three of us ran lie crazy, and several close calls later, we managed to get to Bill's hideout. He then handcuffed Ellie to a pipe and threatened Joel at gun point to prove they weren't infected. The whole situation was deescalated when Ellie pulled the pipe out of the wall and hit Bill with it. Talk of checking for infection was luckily forgotten after that.
Bill just wants to be left alone to kill zombies.
Joel Calls in the big favour that Bill owes him (not clear what for), and asks for a car. There's no working cars around, but Bill has an idea how to get the parts to get one up and running. First step is t get to a military vehicle that crashed into a near by school not too long back and has a working car battery.
That not too far away, i'm sure it will be fine.
First step though is to get to a near by church that Bill has a bunch of weapons stashed, since there's apparently loads of infected that way. An easy jog there, killing a few infected the way, and they reach the church where Joel learns how to make a proximity nail bomb, and gets a shot gun! Now off to the school. Past the graveyard filled with Clickers...
Are you guys trying to be zombies or not?
Then it's through a little suburb area with more Clickers and Runners scattered about. Up shot is that I found more arrows for the bow I got before. I also found that not only can you stealth one shot a Clicker with it, but doing so lets you retrieve the arrow! Missing though loses the arrow and alerts them...
I shot an arrow into the air. It went and killed, that Clicker there.
One annoying fad that seems to really caught on in these suburb houses is stuffing all the large furniture into the stairwell. Some one was doing this to nearly every hose in the area, not only does this block the second floor, but also the flow of feng shui. Come on people!
One house it's quirky, but gets old fast.
Finally we get close to the school, Just need to sneak past all the Runners lurking about there.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Or I could miss a stealth take down and have to fight all of them in a mad brawl, that works too! Joel, Bill, and Ellie then manage to out run another hoard of runners, and get to the vehicle, yay! and the battery is already gone! Not yay! and they are now stuck in a school crawling with the infected! Very not yay!
To top it all off, they make it to the gymnasium,where they run into an all new kind of infected, a bloater, or Nemesis resident evil's ugly brother. Which proceeded to kill me, a whole bunch!
It loves giving hugs, and then crushing skulls!
While trying to take a screen shot of the thing, I accidentally hit the crafting menu, which does not pause the game. This is not conducive to surviving...
Yes, I want to make a pointy stick while this monster crushes my skull...
Surprisingly, Ellie saved the day in a round about way. After yet another death, I was shooting at it like normal when she threw a bottle at it as a distraction. That's when I remembered I have a couple Molotov cocktails left!
Light it up!
It went down easily after that and, as a bonus, Ellie kicked its ragdolled corpse half way across the room!
And stay down!
We then all made it out of the school and into a nearby house to hold up and re-plan (of course the stairs had that furniture thing going on too). Two big discoveries were made there though. First, Bills old partner Frank had apparently hung himself there, after getting bitten by the infected. That sucks, but at least his final hours were not in vain. The second discovery was that Frank was apparently the one that took the batter and had a partly working van in the garage!
Only Frank would be caught dead in that shirt.
So now all that's left to do is try jogging the van into life (due to dead battery) next session and driving hoof into the horizon. I'm sure Bill will be fine too, even tough he's not on the box art...
