War of the Dead

November 13 2011

The group with the help of a new friend Taylor the Tool Guy the group went deck by deck to tell all the other guests to gather into the Theater for safety. Amanda seams to be cursed when trying to help survivors on the decks, or maybe she just doesn't care. All the survivors that she meets ends up dead. First her and Bubba failed to help an old grey haired lady who has her back against the wall and is fending off three zombies with just her walker. Then Amada and Drake are found by three little girls who run around a hall corner being chased by a zombie. The zombie has it's intestines unwinding from his bowels, one end of it's intestines is snagged in the mouth of another dead zombie and with each step it's intestine is being further pulled out like rubbery fishing line being pulled out of a reel. When more zombies arrive one zombie steals away one of the little girls that is clutching Amanda's legs then Amanda and Drake pick up the other two girls and run away. Well, I guess Amanda believes two out of three ain't bad.

The Theater is now filled with 1,500 people. A small crowd of people gathered around a strange woman who is talking to the crowds and carrying her laptop showing the people a Wiki article that she had saved on her hard drive. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mictlantecuhtli (click on the link, its real) She claims that she knows what is happening. It's just as her grandmother had told her. It's the story about how the Mayans were wiped out and it's happening all over again but now it's 2012 and it's the end of the world!

Kirkman still wants to go talk to Mr. Forthright, the ship's owner, he was the one who had hired the mercenaries to sink the ship. Mr. Forthright is in a high security suite so he should have remained safe, Kirkman wants answers from him. Kirkman has the security card to get in the suite. Mr. Forthright is found scared and crying happy to see Kirkman. The group with Mr. Forthright tries to go back to the bridge to jerry-rig the radio but are blocked by a large crowed of zombies and forced to retreat back to the theater. In the fight Drake is bit on the shoulder.

Now a large crowed in the theater is enthralled by the mysterious woman and are calling her a prophetess. Amanda states a few disparaging words about their prophetess and catches the unwanted attention of her followers. Drake smoothes things over and persuades the followers to allow them to talk with the prophetess. The prophetess is thrilled to see that they brought Mr. Forthright, the ship's owner, He is to be the first of the blood sacrifices that needs to be made to appease Mictlantecuhtli. Drake has a bad feeling of who may be next. He quick draws his pistol and in what may have been the most important shot in his life. He missed. The crowd goes berserk and pummels Kirkman, the mercenaries and all the members of the group down, disarming them and tying them up in the theater seats. As Drake is pulled down he tries to warn the followers that he has been bitten and one unseen follower whispers into his ear "So have I." Now tied to the theater chairs they will just have to wait their turn.

Mr. Forthright is tossed out into the hallway screaming. He doesn't last long.

A group of zombies come out from behind the stage and the mass of people panic and run to the far side of the theater leaving the group out in the open, alone and tied to theater seats. Amanda fortunately manages to untie her knots and then untie the others. The crowd is in too much of a panic to use the guns that they took from the group. The group makes a run for the theater doors and decides to head back to the bridge in search of a gun locker. More guns are found and just when plans are being made to escape, the mercenaries draw their guns on the rest of the group. The leader says "Well this has been fun but our ride is here and we don't plan on sticking around as the boat sinks. Think of it this way, we are doing the world a favor by sinking this infested tub." Kirkman is so pissed he draws his gun but the leader is faster and kills Kirkman.

The mercenaries leave you behind. They have seen the bite on Drake and don't want anything to do with any of you.

The charges go off and the boat begins to slowly sink. The group makes it to a life boat and when they pull back the cover on the life boat they find Bubba and Dr. House hiding in it. Dr. House has a fever. They manually lower the life boat into the water as the cruise ship is sinking. Next everyone has to climb down the ropes to get to the lowered lifeboat. Amanda has been shaken up pretty badly and falls into the water. Duncan makes a picture perfect dive into the water and saves Amanda before she can drown. When everyone is in the lifeboat they see an old P520 boat adrift with a zombies on deck. After approaching the boat and shooting the zombies on deck while safely staying in the life boat the group climbs aboard and now has the P520.
