>>6152464The house, upstairs, quiets down except for the disturbance downstairs. As your pulse slows down you hear the last thug yelling and struggling from downstairs. You decend carefully, and find the last few ghouls crowded in yhe hallway clamouring at the study door. They've got their backs to you, and pay no attention as you dispatch them with hard blows to the skull (5).
The boy inside keeps swearing and has locked the door.
[If my 5th+4th <=10, he is just angry. If more he has a bite on his hand]
You decide to recruit the boy, and find him very agreeable
>im leaving and this place is about to be overrun. So it's either me or nobody.He chooses you (2), and smiles a big toothy grin. Anyway you figure his choice to show all his teeth is his way of grinning.
[If my 4th+3rd <=10, he will honor your truce. If more he has other ideas.]
You clear out the rest of the house, chopping the last (4) ghouls which lay and sit languishing and maimed from the recent violence. And after giving him the unloaded gun, you make your way to the garage.
[If my 3rd+2nd <10, the thug has no bullets. If more he has and equal number of bullets.]
Moving the (6) fully loaded carts is harder than you'd thought. At least they are still tethered together, and will move as a long column.
[If my 2nd+1st <=10, the thug is willing to help move the carts, moving them twice as fast, requiring 5 moves to get back. If more he "don do no slabe toilin", and youll have to pull the carts alone, taking 12 moves to get back.]
As you open the garage door, the street is empty, and you think you've got a clear path back, and you haven't attracted any undead attention (4).
[If my 5th+2nd <=10, you get 1/2 ghoul draw. If more, you'll suffer 2x ghoul draw]
However, looking back through the garage as you pull the carts out, you see a familiar orange glow approaching through the backyard.
[If my 5th+3rd <=10, the pumpkin is 2 turns away. If more he is 1 turn away.]
You have 4 actions
