Total damage = 8

Turn 7
Sally is confronted by Zombified Billy and pauses momentarily above him as he feasted on a dead dog. She brought the whirling Chainsaw down across his neck and his gnashing head rolled in the gore soaked dust. She picked up the head to look into his eyes one last time. Suddenly the head sprang to life and she was Bitten badly on her cheek. Grabbing it by the hair she threw it at a wall with all the force of her being and the head exploded across the wall with a sickening crack! Father Joseph took a wound and managed to stop the bite becoming infectious. Sally had now gained her Advanced Ability Hunter. Jenny uses her Youth to heal.

Jenny is wounded in the pitch black Super Market. Father Joseph finds another Shotgun which he took as a sure sign God was sending him weapons to defeat the evil around them. The Sheriff damages the Meteorite again with his Shotgun.

Turn 10
My God They’ve Taken The Gym. Sally makes another kill with her Chainsaw. She had become a killing machine. She then finds some Keys. Father Joseph barges in on the Sheriff and Sally just as they’re about to get it on. With all the Strength of his Spirit he yells,
Father Joseph: “I know This Could Be Our Last Night On Earth but there’s no need for us to turn into heathens. Besides you’re not even married. Now put some clothes on!”
Father Joseph is wounded for the intrusion as the Sheriff shoves him outside. The disgruntled holy man gives the Shotgun he found to Jenny. Jenny fires it at the Meteorite and a Zombie stood protectively in front of it. The Unstoppable Zombie remained stood with a fist sized hole straight through its torso. The blast further damages the Meteorite. Several glowing rocks had fallen away from the Meteorite revealing a crystalline core that slowly pulsated with an unnatural phosphoresce. The Sheriff aimed his Shotgun directly into the core and pulled the trigger. Two things happened in quick succession first a low boom emanated from within which shook all the land for miles around and second all the remaining Zombies began to fall to the ground and turning into sizzling pools of putrescence. The curse had been lifted.
Total damage = 12

Result: Hero Victory
Hero of the Game: Sheriff Anderson (Did 4 damage to the Meteorite and survived)
Weapon of Choice: Shotgun (Damaged the Meteorite 4 times)

Epilogue:
After countless bodies had been put to the torch the town began to rebuild. The old people of Woodinvale would forever keep a constant vigil and watch the skies lest another stone from beyond should once again fall upon the good clean earth. Unbeknownst to all; meteorologists in Sydney would spot an interstellar object on a direct collision course for earth exactly one year from now…

Upon Reflection:
Well the Heroes just kept pounding that damn rock for all they were worth. I expected casualties as the scenario relies on the Heroes just searching for weapons then hitting the meteorite with everything they’ve got. The problem with this is the Zombies keep coming and you have to choose between them and the Meteorite as you will know the victory conditions are paramount. If you can wound the Meteorite a few times before a Hero death then his sacrifice will be for the common good. The Zombies were relentless and killed 2 of my Heroes but I wouldn’t really change my attack plan if I played this scenario again. Gasoline works well too. Although when Jenny missed the shot I really felt that it was game over. Lots of Zombies escaped a fiery death there!
