EVENTS:
________________________________________

Eigla: "Whenever you're ready."

Klimt: "Now."

As everyone piles onto the lift, Klimt flips the power dial to the ON position. You hear the brief, throbbing hum of a relay activating, then a gunshot-loud CLACK as arc lamps above come into life.
With the elevator shaft now illuminated, you see that you're indeed in an enclosed space of some sort, the bottom level of a cavernous storage area. The upper floors, however, seem to contain old, dusty vehicles, instead of the everpresent crates.

Suddenly, you hear a loud, shrill shriek. The three of you cover your ears in pain, while Emilia caws excitedly. Klimt quickly sets the control lever to UP, and the platform begins its grinding ascent.

There is another shriek, even louder than the first, and you manage to catch a glimp of its source: A pale girl in torn black clothes, standing atop a nearby crate stack and banging on the topmost container with spindly arms. As if to answer her call, dozens - no, HUNDREDS of zombies begin crawling out of nearby crates, far to many to have been contained in pods. You realise the simpler, unaugmented zombies must have been simply stuffed into empty crates and left to rot.

And rot they have. As the mob begins bearing down on your position, you see most of them are barely recogniseable as human, just lanky, corpse-grey creatures with sharp fingernails and far too many teeth. They crawl up the elevator's scissor lifting mechanism and climb onto the platform, moaning unintelligibly. You notice a few of them carried the shrieker up, and she screams at you again, with clear murderous intent.

BATTLE :
________________________________________



Rosa: "Eigla. Cover Eden."

Eigla bellows a challenge to the dead horde, banging on her shield.

Eigla: "Gott befiehlt!"

Klimt runs at the shrieker, intending to attack it! The girl lets out a piercing scream that stops him in his tracks, however!

OBEY. KILL. OBEY.

Despite the strange voice now echoing in his head, he starts charging again, thrusting his tentacled arms deep inside the Shrieker's torso! Screaming like a madman, he pries apart clothing, then flesh, then ribcage, exposing her red, pulsating innards. Her long hair moves with a mind of its own, trying to restrain his arms, but he's far too strong to care for it.
He lassoes the contents with his barbed wires, and breathes deeply for a moment. The nearby zombies try to claw and bite at him, but are unable to penetrate his armored skin.

Then he pulls his arms back.

There is a sickening, moist sound as most of the Shrieker's organs, including her still-beating heart, are forcefully pulled off her body and torn to shreds. She scrambles back, wheezing and screaming, and narrowly avoids Klimt's second attack.

Meanwhile, Rosa begins working on the larger mob of zombies, bursting heads left and right with precisely-aimed shots. The mob eventually gets into melee range, but Eigla joins the fray, grabbing the two closest undead by their heads and smashing their skulls together like eggshells. A zombie manages to latch onto her arm, biting off a huge chunk of flesh, but it begins regrowing as soon as she bats the creature away, tendon and muscles reknitting themselves in seconds.


The battle rages on. Everyone suffers a point of Madness.

> Pistol fire exclusively on the 10 group with the shrieker. Klimt can handle that thing on his own, but not it plus a posse. Eigla will have no trouble holding on to the 12 zombies here.

BATTLE :
________________________________________



Eigla: "Kill them all, Rosa!"
No response. The thundering report of Rosa's guns drowns any attempt at conversation.

Klimt swings at the shrieker, but it dodges again.

Klimt gets angry. You won't like him when he's angry.

Klimt shoves one of his arms into the Shrieker's face, grabbing it firmly and cracking her skull among his tentacles. Meat snakes shoot into her eyes, mouth, ear, and through the hole he'd torn in her chest. Not a single orifice is left untouched, and the girl twitches feebly as his barbed tendrils wrap around every muscle, every bone, every organ. Then they begin thrasing.

The Shrieker's entire body mass comes out as a liquefied slurry of flesh and bone fragments, pouring from its opened torso and bursting through every little cut on its legs, showering Klimt and the nearby zombies in a fine red spray.

When he finally retracts his tentacles, the creature's hollowed skin and clothes fall backwards with the breeze, floating slowly until they disappear in the darkness.

Eigla and Rosa pause for a moment to gape at the ridiculous amount of violence they just witnessed. Both of them suffer 1 Madness on their Fetter towards Klimt.

Still, the battle rages. Klimt turns to face the nearby zombies, ripping three into pieces with his tentacles but receiving a nasty bite to his back, while Rosa mops the rest up with headshots. Meanwhile, Eigla keeps the larger group at bay, caving one's face in with her shield.

Everyone suffers one point of Madness.

Hm.
Shoot.

BATTLE :
________________________________________



Eigla: "Keep shooting, Rosa!"

Rosa feels the comfort of her protector's voice. That's right. With Eigla by her side, she could take on the world, with no fear or danger. She relaxes a bit, and shoots the nearby zombies with renewed confidence, while her friend blocks each and every incoming hit with her shield and body.

Then Klimt moves closer, grabbing three nearby zombies with his snakes. Each is systematically dismembered. The next three have their heads crushed. The last three, he holds over the edge of the platform by their necks, acting as a sort of human gallows until the weight of the creatures' bodies breaks their thin necks. They are then carelessly discarded, to splatter onto the floor far below.

Klimt: "I can barely see for all this blood."

Indeed, you're all a bit spattered with red, but he's positively drenched in zombie bits. One of his hands gurgles as it spits out a piece of broken skull, completely cleaned of flesh and skin. Ew.

BATTLE - FINISHED!

You gather 3 units of Flesh from the corpses.

________________________________________

As you finally get a moment to breathe, the elevator suddenly grinds to a halt, lights flickering. Looking over the edge, you realise the ever-growing mob of zombies down below has jammed itself into the lifting mechanism. Seems like your ride's dead, and another wave of undead is quickly climbing towards your position.

The boom of the crane truck seems to barely reach the next floor, however. Maybe you could climb up it?
