Dawn OOC Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Prologue: Fallow Fields and Morning DewThe members of Fox's Refuge stop a zombie assault on their compound. Chapter 1: What Tales Can the Dead Tell Fox, James, Rachel and Jennifer/Violet investigate an enclave to the north that has been destroyed. They find evidence that the town's defenses were breached before the zombies came. Everyone in the town is dead or undead, save a woman and her daughter in the rubble. The woman, Susan, tells them that there was research occurring there, and that a base out in Roanoke, Virginia, might have been the source of the attack. Her husband was a scientist there, and she overheard mentions of 'gateways' or 'portals.' He never told her exactly what he was doing, though. Important NPCs: Susan, wife to a scientist; Jenny, their daughter. Chapter 2: Chasing a Bee An attempt to raid the armory at Lawton, OK, goes terribly wrong when the convey is ambushed by another super-person. He/she is killed in combat, but not before thwarting the attempt completely. Morgan's sister-in-law arrived just in time to lose her only remaining child to an apparent super-zombie. Disheartened, the group returns to base. Important NPCs: Nihilist (dead); Benjamin Fox (dead). Chapter 3a: RegroupingThe team arrives home and begins to plan another attempt on Lawton. Tensions in the compound are escalating as more and more people become tired of the perceived inequalities between the supers and everyone else. The shortage of women doesn't help the situation, either. Jules offers a solution - there is a prison in western New Mexico where the wardens are holding female prisoners in intolerable conditions.Chapter 3b: Beavers and BovinesLost Bridge Village on Beaver Lake in Arkansas is an underground enclave, probably about as safe and secure as you can find. The supers that converged here found a less than warm welcome, once they learned how ruthless the leader of the enclave could be.Important NPCs: Dick, leader of the Lost Bridge Village Enclave; Ricardo, his head of security; Murray, a security guard; Linda, the registered nurse that is the only medical care available to the facility; Min Wesson, Wesson's granddaughter. Chapter 4a: Blood and DarknessThe team from Fox's Refuge heads back to Lawton to clean out the armory. Once there, they run into a pit of tar-baby super-zombies. The team recovers what it can and vows to return and finish things off later.Chapter 4b: Fox's RefugeMost of the supers exiled from Beaver Lake show up at Fox's Refuge, just as a new face, Jasmine, arrives. They are welcomed, mostly without reservation, despite their news. Gabrielle in particular has to explain her dark tale, where the leader of her former enclave had her infected with Zombie-virus and sent to Beaver Lake to sicken them. Fortunately, she became a super instead of succumbing to the virus, and now wishes to remove Elijah from power.Chapter 4c: Let There Be LightWesson makes one more attempt to reach out to the leader of the Lost Bridge Village Enclave, which is rebuffed by a haughty Dick.Important NPCs: Dick, leader of the Lost Bridge Village Enclave; Murray, a security guard; Min Wesson, Wesson's granddaughter. Chapter 4d: CassandraA lone traveler, wandering the dusty Oklahoma back roads, meets a strange woman. In attempting to take care of her, he becomes caught up in the larger events surrounding her. (This story is a wonderful example of the kind of characterization and interaction that I think makes Dead Rising so great. I encourage everyone to read this chapter, for the good story if no other reason.)Important NPCs: Cassandra, Oracle and Ira's 'Baby'. ,,Chapter 5a: ZealotryThe members of Fox's Refuge head north to remove a threat to the stability of the human race.
