Seth chuckles. "Maybe this one ill do well in" he said as he followed.

[lethalityComplex]

Naxius smiled. "I won't go looking for a fight."

[Atlantis_Rising]

Tim came up to the group, "Let's just remember why we came out bere in the first place."

[Aesoth]

Max nodded at that, "Thanks for reminding me. Let's hurry up and get inside." Hurrying up to the school at the top of the hill, Max surveyed the ruined entrance. Wings on both the left and right half of the building seem to have collapsed, while the front entrance to the building having been buried in rubble. A series of windows leading to classrooms slightly below ground level seemed to have been smashed in, creating a new kind of entrance into the building.

[Eques tenebrarum]

"I take it those busted windows are our way in?" Seth said as he stopped in front of one. He looked over his shoulder to Max. "Don't see much inside, but we could find something cool if we're lucky"

[Atlantis_Rising]

Tim shrugged, "Hey, I'll go first." Without a second statement, or a hint of hesitancy, the bigger kid slipped down and through a smashed window. He saw that some of the desks had been tossed about and broken. He noted several, obvious, blood stains about the room. He shuttered at the realization that this plays may of well been the place where someone took their last breath.

He looked to the faded walls, with a giant world map on the left, tattered and peeling off the wall. He saw a couple of signs reading "Boys' Wrestling Division Champions." He picked up the paper, smirking at the thought of wrestling. His dad had spoken of the sport fondly, describing it as a struggle between men and life. He knew that right now, he felt like he was in a wrestling match, and, at the moment, he knew he was winning.

[Aesoth]

Slipping through the broken window and hopping down to the floor, Max landed a little to Tim's left and stumbled slightly. Noticing the computer on the teacher's desk near the front of the room, he quickly headed over and attempted to activate it. Quickly finding that the terminal was broken, he stepped away with a disappointed look on his face.

[lethalityComplex]

Naxius made his way into the classroom.

[Militia_927]

Roach follows then inside “Well where do we begin?”

[Eques tenebrarum]

Seth climbed through the busted window and fell into step beside Roach. "There's five of us...and this school seems to have a few floors to it, maybe we each take a floor" He suggested as he looked to the others.

[Aesoth]

Max put his chin in his hand and thought for a moment. "Well, there are only three floors, so more than one of us to a floor. I think I will check out the top floor, if the stairwell isn't blocked off. There's probably a lot less to search with the top floor taking the beating from the elements."

[Eques tenebrarum]

"I'll take the bottom then, and take one other person along. I'd need the help since it may have the most to salvage" Seth said

[lethalityComplex]

Naxius said, "I'll go with Seth. There may be some terminals I can salvage for parts. That one though," He points to the broken terminal on the teacher's desk, "is absolutely fried."

[Aesoth]

Glancing around at the overturned desks and the bloodstains on the ground, Max followed the trail with his eyes and saw it lead straight out the damaged door. Looking back at the group with him, he said, "I think there's something or someone in here. Keep your eyes open when you go searching, okay?"

<On the bottom floor, the rooms that are not blocked off by rubble are the gym, a computer tech classroom, a pair of restrooms and an agriculture tech room.>

[Militia_927]

“You don’t have to tell me to be careful.” Replies Roach “So what floor are you and Tim taking Max?”

[Eques tenebrarum]

Seth gestured for Naxius to follow him while he walked out of the room. He drew one revolver as he headed to the bottom floor.

[Aesoth]

Max looked at Roach, confused. "I just said I was going to the top floor by myself."

As the ruined door opened, the rusty hinges squealed loudly. Down the dark hallway, a growling is heard in response to the noise.
<Just realized that I forgot to say this, the room everyone is in is on the bottom floor.>

[Militia_927]

“Do you honestly think I listen to everything you say?" said Roach “Whatever I’ll be on the second floor if yah need me.” Roach walks off looking for a stair case to ascend.

[lethalityComplex]

Naxius followed Seth, pulling out both his guns and checking corners as they went. He spied a classroom not blocked by debris, and pointed it out to Seth. "There may be something in there."

[Aesoth]

Around a turn in the hallway, a creature slowly approaches the two Vault dwellers, attracted by the noise. As it shuffles forward, it passes through sunlight from an almost buried room and its window, illuminating its features. The creature stood around 4 feet tall, or it would have if not for the severe hunch it suffered from. It seemed human, if not for the fact that a good majority of its skin had rotted, creating a putrid mockery of human features. With a gurgling screech, the ghoul charged straight at Naxius and Seth.

[Atlantis_Rising]

Tim had already begun his search of the second floor, finding the library. He kept walking down the hallway, passing rooms as he went, tattered name tags reading "Mrs. Shaw Health" and "Mr.Smith Earth Science." There were two other rooms, but he couldn't read off names or classes. He continued down the corridor.

[Eques tenebrarum]

Seth turned quickly and fired his revolver into the ghouls chest twice, and drew his second as he backed away rapidly.

[lethalityComplex]

Naxius slid behind an overturned table for cover, and shot at the ghouls face twice.

[Aesoth]

With a gurgle, the ghoul falls forward as its head is taken off. Further down the hallway, a trio of shrieks is heard as the ghouls charge towards the two people defending the hallway.

Max had already gotten to the stairwell and was climbing up to the third floor. On that floor, almost the entire area was buried under rubble, leaving only a single room able to be entered. Near the door, a simple sign denoted that this was the chemistry room.

[lethalityComplex]

Naxius heard the shrieks, and pulled out his normal pistol as well. He aimed down the hallway, in the direction of the shrieks.
