THE MISSION: Once Ellie and Abby recognize that the Fade-manifested version of Seattle they are in takes place in a specific time period, they'll realize what the goober probably has to be, and it's not going to be pretty. It's a medical kit located inside an infected called the (cw: body horror) Rat King, which is the result of loads of infected people being locked up together in the bowels of a thoroughly infested Seattle hospital. So if fighting a horrifying nightmare by flashlight in a spore-infested underground sounds like your bag, let's go.
This mission will be combat-heavy and led by Abby, supported by Ellie. If your character is good with mundane weaponry (swords, knives, gun skills, bombs) then they will be a natural choice. ICly, the local survivors will want to prioritize people who have experience in fighting monsters.
And, uh. Hopefully don't have a fear of heights. Because the only way to get to the hospital that won't take forever is to use the (cw: heights) sky bridge. It's exactly as terrifying as it looks.
Everyone will be equipped with a gas mask to be worn inside the building, to avoid breathing in the spore-heavy air, and as many guns as they want to carry. They'll be raiding a WLF encampment that's currently looting the upper floors of the hospital, so feel free to say your character has pistols, rifles, shotguns, flamethrowers, and even a few pipe bombs if you're nasty. Ellie and Abby are in their element (and new game+) so they'll trick your character out to your heart's content.
The Rat King is a damage-sink that can take unreal amounts of punishment and keep going, so they'll have to do as much damage as they can as fast as they can until it starts literally falling apart. If it grabs you, chances are high that you're not getting away. Once the team does enough damage, it'll start splitting off into individual pieces (stalkers, clickers) that will keep fighting. We don't know which piece has the goober. Remember to doubletap.
(cw: body horror, violence: but if you want to see the actual in-game fight here you go.)
OOC LOGISTICS: - If you want in, sign up here.
- The big fight will be a free-for-all chaos with no tag order. Just get in there and start blasting. We'll post a starter and alert you when it's up. Keep going until it's over.
- The sky bridge and getting into the hospital will be handwaved officially, but if you want to play with either of those mechanics, feel free to throw in your own open or closed threads!
- If you want your character injured or killed during this mission, feel free to roll for that with any parameters you want.
