Rebecca Chambers and Billy
Breathing heavily, looking over her shoulder Th-this way, Billy. We need to... to find a way out.
pointing to an open room ahead Quick, Rebecca! In there, I see a window!
Rebecca Chambers and Billy
rush into the room, hurriedly unlocking the window Come on, come on, come on! She finally opens it and sunlight streams in
Peeking outside There's... there's a treehouse out here! And what looks like a working radio in it!
Rebecca Chambers and Billy
Excitedly A radio?! We need to get that radio, Billy! It might have important information for other survivors!
Let's go, let's go! Grabs a nearby rope from a toolbox he spots To get to that treehouse quick!
Rebecca Chambers and Billy
Grab a nearby ladder from the storage room Alright, let's set this up quickly, Billy!
Securing the ladder, checking its sturdiness Alright, it's good to go! Rebecca, you first!
Rebecca Chambers and Billy
Climbs up the ladder swiftly, reaching the treehouse platform I'm on it, Billy! I see the radio, it's right here!
Climbing up after her, scanning the treehouse Any other useful supplies in here? Maybe food or medicine?
Rebecca Chambers and Billy
Explores the treehouse, finding a stash of canned goods and bottles of water Billy, look at this! We struck gold here!
Noticing some crucial medicines at the corner of the stash Here, we've got painkillers, antibiotics, and even some basic first aid kits! This will help us heal and keep safe from infections!
Rebecca Chambers and Billy
As Rebecca and Billy gather the supplies, they hear a faint noise outside the treehouse - a low growling sound, getting closer
Alerted by the growling, quickly peeking through a small hole in the treehouse platform There... there are more of those... things, approaching the house where we came from. We need to be quiet and prepared. Fast.
Rebecca Chambers and Billy
Quickly hiding the supplies behind a wooden crate, whispering urgently We need a plan, Billy.
Whispering, thinking quickly Okay, okay... We can use the nearby thicket of trees to quietly move past those things undetected. But we need to stay low and silent. No sudden movements.
Rebecca Chambers and Billy
Nodding in agreement, cautiously peeking through the treehouse window to observe the approaching horde Alright, we'll stick to the shadows and move slowly.
Quietly opening a small trapdoor underneath the treehouse platform that leads to a hidden underground root system in the surrounding forest This should be our escape route if things get really bad. It’s not far from here but it’ll buy us some time and distance from those creatures without making too much noise. Ready?
Rebecca Chambers and Billy
Softly Ready, Billy. Lead the way quietly, and watch our steps.
Leading the way through the underground root system, moving stealthily and cautiously, avoiding making any audible sounds that could attract unwanted attention Alright, follow me closely and stay close to the walls to avoid detection. We’re doing good so far, just keep your guard up and stay alert. There might be more of them lurking around here.
Rebecca Chambers and Billy
Staying close to Cartridgeld, observing their surroundings carefully We’re nearing that underground bunker you mentioned, right?
Quietly, pointing to a large concealed rock covering the entrance to the underground bunker Yeah, that’s it. We should be careful around the rock; it might be loose and could make noise if we’re not careful. Once we’re inside, we should have a temporary safe haven with some basic survival tools and emergency rations in case we get cornered or need to rest for a bit. Ready to enter?
Rebecca Chambers and Billy
Carefully approaching the concealed rock, trying to lift it slowly and quietly Alright, here goes... Maneuver the rock with effort, revealing the dark interior of the underground bunker Phew, we made it. Now, let's find those supplies and get settled quickly.
Inside the bunker, quickly finding a small generator and some candles, starting the generator quietly and lighting a few candles to provide light and warmth Good, the generator started without issue and the candles give us some much-needed light. Next, let's find the food and water storage and see if it's stocked. Guides Rebecca and Billy towards a corner of the bunker where the storage is located
Rebecca Chambers and Billy
Explore the food and water storage, finding cans of soup, dried meats, and bottled water Billy, look at all this!
Smiling at the sight of the stored supplies That’s great, we’ve struck lucky here. These should last us for a while and give us the strength to continue our search for other survivors and resources in this area. Before we continue, though, we should take a moment to eat and rest; it’ll help us stay focused and prepared for whatever comes next. Let’s make a small fire outside the storage area using some wood we found here and start cooking.
Rebecca Chambers and Billy
Start a small fire outside the storage area, preparing a meal of canned soup and drying some meat While we cook, we should also discuss our next steps and game plan for exploring the area and finding other survivors. Any ideas or leads?
