Session 6: Grand Theft Bakery
Running down the block was not an option anymore. Out of the corner of her eye, Sally spotted a white delivery van idling outside a 24-hour bakery garage. The driver was inside signing a clipboard, leaving the keys dangling tantalizingly from the steering column. It was a golden ticket on four wheels.
“Danny, forget running! Get in!” Sally yelled, ripping open the passenger side door. Danny tore around the front, threw himself into the driver's seat, and slammed his foot onto the clutch. Behind them, a bone-chilling roar tore through the street. The Reptoid had finally broken through the oak pallets, and it smelled its targets.
Danny gripped the wheel. He’d driven his dad’s old pickup truck a few times, but never under the pressure of being hunted by an apex predator from the center of the Earth.
Target: Danny's Skill (SK) is 11. He needs to slam the gears and pull away safely before the monster catches the bumper.
The Dice: [4] + [2] + [3] = 9
Result: 9 is less than 11. SUCCESS! The transmission grinds, but the tires bite into the asphalt.
Experience Gained: Target (11) - Roll (9) = 2 EP earned for Danny.
The engine screamed as Danny dumped the clutch. The delivery van fish-tailed wildly out into the lane, scattering empty cardboard boxes everywhere. Just as the rear bumper cleared the curb, a massive, scaly green arm slammed heavily against the back window, cracking the glass into a spiderweb pattern. The Reptoid was sprinting behind them, running on all fours like an unholy, prehistoric alligator!
“Floor it!” Sally shrieked, watching the monster out of the side mirror. It was easily matching their speed as they tore down the poorly lit side street heading toward the 16th Street Bridge.
Suddenly, the monster unhinged its jaw. With a violent thrust of its neck, it spat a stream of thick, bubbling greenish fluid directly at the windshield right in front of Danny's face!
The monster aims its foul venom to blind the driver and force a horrific crash.
The Reptoid's Attack Roll (vs CS 13): GM rolls 3d6 → [4] + [1] + [2] = 7 (Hit!)
The Twist: The venom hits the windshield directly in front of Danny, blistering the glass and instantly obstructing his view with a foul, smoking green sludge!
The burning acid hissed against the safety glass, turning Danny’s vision into a blurry, melted green smear. He couldn't see the road, the bridge, or the turns ahead. They were barreling down the industrial tracks completely blind, and the heavy metal skeleton of the 16th Street Bridge was looming somewhere right in front of them.
