brutalbears Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Brutal Bears Survives the Zombie Apocalypse Prologue: So, I am coming over the rangers for the first time; I never thought I would be here! I have traditionally been a warrior, but life has been difficult. I work 70+ hours a week managing a drug treatment center (and my cell is the emergency line), I'm a full time college student, and I don't get much "free time". I have recently had a lot of fun jogging, because I just love to get outside and sometimes I just can't get to the gym. I think I would like to try some unconventional training, like mace training at some point; but, this challenge is just to stay balanced and keep things fun. I would like to make a zombie survival challenge based of the great app "Zombies, run" this time and see what happens... so Rules: If the health of Abel hits 0 I lose. I will roll a D20 each day for damage and various workouts help heal build up the town.

brutalbears Posted May 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Zombie Critical Attack! Today a massive horde attacked and did a massive 13 damage, leaving the fort heavily damaged!

If someone does an extra 15 walk/run (outside the normal) to bring us supplies it will heal the base for +3 Quote Challenges: R: Winter is Here 20|19|18|17|16|15|14|13|R|12|11|10|9|8|7|6|5|4|3|2|1 “I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.” -John Galt Link to comment

This was 12 hours ago, so dors it still count, if I get the walk in on my Thursday? Than I would leave my train a station earlier and go for a one hour walk. Usually it takes me 25 minutes to get home. So that would be 35 extra minutes of walk. 1 Quote level 12 Hobbit Monk (respawned September 2016) STR 4 | DEX 15 | CON 16 | STA 15 | WIS 33 | CHA 24 | Halfling | Newbie | Fencer and Bookworm Introduction | Character | Daily Battle Log | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | # | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | #### | 17 | Current Challenge Spoiler I'm exercising, because I want to get my stamina and strength.

Dropping down to 3/25 health! We can use all the help we can get! Did get my run in. An additional 40 Minutes. More details tomorrow. Food supply run, 41 minutes, 5 kilometres, 22 supplies. (+8Hp ?) I have to get a shower now and sleep. In six hours I have to get up again. Role play took longer than expected. ------------------------------------- So I changed my clothes and got outside again after getting back from the train station. There was only a small break, because Abel Township needed some supplies urgently. Only the mayor didn't seem to know about priorities. First thing she requested was some truffle butter. "It goes well with squirrel." I shook my head a little and went on, always looking out for some lurkers. I was running around some abandoned streets and tried to get back to the train station. There I would meet up with my partner and we could go back together. It’s not a good idea to go as pack, but two runners are saver than one. One my why I was surprised by some zombies in an abandoned supermarket, so I couldn’t get all the supplies and had to get in a little sprint. You really could see the difference in my time later. It took me 18:30 to get to the train station, but 22 minutes to get back to Abel from there. Luckily I found an ax in the supermarket and some whiskey. The mayor encouraged me to get some fresh food and flour as well. I guess in the zombie apocalypse you can’t be too picky. Nobody cares, if you prefer a grain free diet. I was really exhausted when I got back from my trip. Now it’s my friend’s turn to get in another run to save us all. I’ll have a shower. Running back and forth between the train station and base was really a stressor on my lungs. I’m not that used to running. And it was a hazzle that the radio station was down. (I deleted most of the music from my old list and had to listen to the same track over and over again. ^^ And the partner was of course my bf. I fetched him there, because he had missed my train and got home an hour later than me. I thought that was a nice chance to get in this additional run.)

Luciana Valerosa Culming Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Woah, that's harsh. I'll try my best. But I really don't know how much I can do this evening. I'm meeting my Capoeira group this evening. But if I can still feel my legs I'll try to get in another 15 minutes. edit: I'll do the walk tomorrow morning. It'll be half past ten, when I get home and I still need to get dinner. So I'll get up early tomorrow and get another 40 minutes in. I hope Abel manages to survive until than. 1 Quote level 12 Hobbit Monk (respawned September 2016) STR 4 | DEX 15 | CON 16 | STA 15 | WIS 33 | CHA 24 | Halfling | Newbie | Fencer and Bookworm Introduction | Character | Daily Battle Log | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | # | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | #### | 17 | Current Challenge Spoiler I'm exercising, because I want to get my stamina and strength.

My stepcounter was about 9k. I guess it was about 8km after having a look on the map. 1 Quote level 12 Hobbit Monk (respawned September 2016) STR 4 | DEX 15 | CON 16 | STA 15 | WIS 33 | CHA 24 | Halfling | Newbie | Fencer and Bookworm Introduction | Character | Daily Battle Log | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | # | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | #### | 17 | Current Challenge Spoiler I'm exercising, because I want to get my stamina and strength.
