StoryLine

You're one of 8 survivors. You've got guns, various melee weapons, some healthpacks, a few bozes of ammo. And thousands of zombies waiting outside to eat your brains.
CEDA is supposed to be evacuating the "immune", that means you and your buddies right next to ya. The survivors who haven't been infected and "zombified" by the virus...But most of the evacuation locations have been abandoned and subsequently taken over by the groaning, moaning, quick moving, flesh eating zombies.
Along the way to the last remaining evacuation point in all of New York City, there are these things called "Safe Houses." Your safe from the zombies there, but only for so long. Stock up, reload, and heal. And then run like hell through the crowds of Infected on your way to the next safe house...Or better yet, the evacuation point...If it's even still there.

The Infected

The infected are quick on their feet and relentless. Shine a light on them, or start shooting, and they start charging at you. They can't open doors...But they can tear them apart. They also can break through windows, except for reinforced glass.

Special Infected "Bosses"

There are two types of Special Infected that are incredibly strong and hard as fuck to kill. Witches, and Tanks.

Witches

There are two kinds of witches...Witches who will wander around sobbing and crying, and witches who sit still and sob. If you start hearing one cry, turn off your flashlights. It'll startle them. And starling a witch is usually a death sentence. Move quickly past them too, if you're in their space for long, they will also attack.

Tanks

Weaponry
(For a more detailed look at the Weaponry in L4D go here.)
*Not all of these weapons will be available at all times, only certain weapons can be picked up certain places.*

There are a wide range of weapons in NYC just laying around waiting for you to take them and use them. You can only carry one melee weapon (or two pistols) and one big gun at a time. Pick your flavor of zombie death. Beat 'em to bits, or blow their heads off from afar.

Weapon Boosts *Rare*
Laser Sight - Makes you weapon more accurate.
Incendiary Ammo - Will light zombies on fire.
Frag Rounds - Will explode upon contact with anything.

Grenades
(Not to be used with Grenade Launcher, must simply be thrown.)
Molotov Cocktail - Extremely flammable, will cause a huge fiery mess. Stay out of the flames!
Pipe Bomb - Loud and blinking, will draw zombies to it and then explode, killing all those directly surrounding it.
Bile Bomb - Canister filled with Boomer Bile, will attract a hoard of zombies to one spot.

The Route.

The Survivors will be starting in the Bronx Zoo. Our Goal? Make it to South Ferry, to catch a ferry to Liberty Island for an extraction point, (or make it to JFK Airport, for another possible extraction point. - Route TBA.)
From the Bronx Zoo, we'll head to the safehouse in the center of Central Park. From there, we got to Rockafeller Center, to heal up, hoard up, load up for the hoard in Grand Central...At Grand Central first we must fight through and break through the hoards for the safe room in the Whisper Room. Once we're ready from there, we'll hop on the only working subway train. The 5 train. Which we'll take to Bowling Green, and then make a run for the Docks at South Ferry.
Hopefully, the ferry's still running...

Rules

Mene's ToS comes first.
Don't be a dick and kill off other people's characters for no reason.
Absolutely NO godmodding. (ie I shot the witch with my pistol to death in 3 shots.)
Apply to the RP in the OOC Thread.

Other than that, say whatcha want, do whatcha want. :D

Opening Scene:

Zoe and the gang are holed up in a cage, the doors barricaded and locked shut. They have a few shotguns, and a handful of health packs. There is also a hatchet and a couple extra pistols. Zoe grabs one of the pistols, and a chrome shotgun. Ellis follows suit and grabs up a pistol and a combat shotgun.

They look at each other and Ellis says, "There was this one time, when my friend Keith, he tried to fight a LION." He paused for effect, "He wanted to wrestle the thing. I told him it was a bad idea, but--"

Zoe sighed, "Ellis! Now is NOT the time!"
