<\/a><\/p>\nSince I was behind, I have an extra survivor’s Pit story in today as well.\u00a0 Beware a mother’s wrath…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But first, Liam has been waiting so patiently so let’s give him his due.<\/p>\n
Liam is basically a large man-child.\u00a0 He’s really not much different than the other child survivors<\/a>\u00a0but he does have some Pack potential and gains a melee die over the likes of Billy & Ben.<\/p>\n I decided to deck him out like a badass apocalypse survivor complete with Chainsaw<\/em>, Makeshift Padding<\/em>, and\u00a0 Motorcycle Helmet<\/em>.\u00a0 This is a far cry from his useless persona in the comics. To shore up some weaknesses, I have a Backpack<\/em> to increase his pack size, a Paper Bag<\/em> for his crappy Nerve value, and two luck items to help in a pinch: the Lucky<\/em> Charm<\/em> and the\u00a0Keepsake<\/em>.<\/p>\n The lights flicker on, blinding Liam as he gets to his feet. As his eyes adjust, the stark room comes into focus centering on the blood scrawled message in the center of the room: \u201cSURVIVE.\u201d Before he can even think about the cryptic message, Liam sees the walkers.\u00a0 With no discernible way out, the message becomes crystal clear as the dead start to notice they too are no longer alone\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n Liam tries to play it safe, sneaking forward but a Roamers event pulls in walker Reggie.<\/p>\n Liam knows that cranking up the chainsaw this early with everyone so close will be suicide, he butts the blunt into the walker’s face and downs him.<\/p>\n It doesn’t last long as walker Reggie just stands back up.<\/p>\n Liam has survived round 1 with minimal effort.<\/p>\n Liam goes the far side of the nearest supply point and finds a 2×4 and stashes it in his backpack.<\/p>\n He didn’t quite get far enough away so walker Reggie is back for a rematch.<\/p>\n The universe just doesn’t like Liam very much.\u00a0 The Hunger event draws another walker and this is just too much for poor Liam to handle so he cranks up the chainsaw, looking to dance.\u00a0 This makes the walkers frenzy and brutalize Liam while his chainsaw just sputters, even with the lucky charm. His motorcycle helmet keeps him from outright dying but his crappy makeshift padding fails and a bite still gets through.<\/p>\n The chainsaw decides he’s not worthy and runs out of gas.<\/p>\n The silver lining (if there can be one in The Pit) is that the assault sends him backwards and the Mayhem caused by the chainsaw only pulls in one walker for an extra combat.\u00a0 Pissed that his chainsaw failed, he uses it bash in the head of the new walker.\u00a0 Maybe Liam’s got some grit after all.<\/p>\n And now Liam is getting close to just panicking at the situation all together.<\/p>\n Liam decides to drop the dead chainsaw and pull out his new 2×4, then run out of the walker swarm, drawing in a new friend.<\/p>\n The 2×4 holds and he’s able to fight off the new walker.<\/p>\n Now in panic territory, Liam will need some luck to get through the next few rounds.<\/p>\n Using his paper bag to calm his nerves, he sneaks around the side of the Pit walls only to catch Storm Comin’ event followed by The Walking Dead and Roamers.\u00a0 That brings almost everyone to the party but Liam does his best with what he’s got.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, it’s not enough against that horde.<\/p>\n Seems like Liam can’t fight fate and gets ripped to shreds.<\/p>\n Up next, we have Lori Grimes, Caring Mother.<\/p>\n Lori is decked out for pure combat. I imagine at this point, she is early pregnancy at the Prison and foraging for wood and supplies in the surrounding area.\u00a0 She’s got in a Riot Helmet<\/em> and a Leather Jacket.<\/em> Completing the package, she has the massive Felling Axe<\/em> and a couple of baubles from her past, the Lucky Charm<\/em> and Keepsake<\/em> necklace Rick gave her long ago.<\/p>\n The lights flicker on, blinding Lori as she gets to her feet. As her eyes adjust, the stark room comes into focus centering on the blood scrawled message in the center of the room: \u201cSURVIVE.\u201d Before she can even think about the cryptic message, Lori sees the walkers.\u00a0 With no discernible way out, the message becomes crystal clear as the dead start to notice they too are no longer alone\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n Lori does not mess around! She sees Shane’s ugly walker ass closing in and takes him down in one swing.<\/p>\n Lori then gets over to the supply crate and finds one I’ve never pulled before.\u00a0 Pretty useful but she hasn’t needed it so she moves on.<\/p>\n Lori is pretty good at staying out of the walker killzone…<\/p>\n But hits some bad luck when three walkers wake up from the floor and come after her.<\/p>\n Lori is still rocking that Felling Axe and it fends off most of the attack, settling for a minor hit with no infection.<\/p>\n Time marches on but with a Medium nerve, Lori isn’t in any serious danger.<\/p>\n Relatively speaking, of course.\u00a0 She runs away from the main group to get in the corner to reassess.<\/p>\n This pulls one of the walkers but she just keeps cutting them down, this time using her Keepsake to make sure this threat is neutralized.<\/p>\n Now that we’re in Medium territory, Lori is pressed for time before she starts getting overwhelmed with panic.<\/p>\n Lori sneaks out to the middle again but the pressure is just too much and a Frayed Nerves event card has her screaming, calling in a ton of walkers.<\/p>\n The results aren’t as bad as they could have been.<\/p>\n And her Felling Axe is just rocking the white dice but not quite enough as the 3 extra damage would kill her.\u00a0 She lets the jacket take the brunt of the damage to remain unscathed.<\/p>\n Still in ok territory, it looks like she’ll get one more round before starting to panic.<\/p>\n So she heads back to the corner to find another way around.<\/p>\n Only to see five walkers come lumbering after her.<\/p>\n This is not looking good until I realize that Lori might have found a loophole by ducking into that corner- a maximum of two walkers can get at her at a time! She’s going to lose her activations but at this point, she’d be just panicking anyway.<\/p>\n So Lori starts to get to work, smashing walker heads.<\/p>\n The Felling Axe takes down another walker!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
