Ol' Joe shrugs, then heads back to his car "We are going to need to hit these freaks hard and fast."
You can see Vincent walking back across the paddocks through the pouring rain.
Ol' Joe doesnt seem to be able to see the voyeur. He pulls out some kind of automatic pistol and checks it like he has done it a hundred times before.
The rain is so heavy it is getting hard to see through, just as Vincent is within arms distance of his body, lightning arcs down where the vortex was with an enormous boom.
Vincent looks from you to Ol' Joe. "Glad you could join us Joe, there are dead policemen lying where the police cars are parked, I think one is still alive, I couldnt be sure but I think I saw someone else sneaking around."
"What do you think Mr Moon?'

Ol' Joe and Vincent follow you looking around warily, the the crow flies on ahead and lands on the side mirror of a paddy wagon.
There must be at least six cops sprawled between the vehicles, but it is hard to tell as limbs and severed heads are scattered all around.
Vincent and Joe start prowling between the cop cars guns cocked heading toward the barn.
Banging can be heard from the paddy wagon. It sounds like it came from someone in the back.
You and the crow are the closest, the Vincent turns toward you with a questioning look on his face, Joe doesnt seem to hear and is still sneaking up to the barn.
(Roll wits + composure.)

A severed limb lying near your foot twitches then rolls over and begins dragging itself by the fingertips under a cop car.
A torso and head is staring at you as it rolls under another car. Looking around all the body parts are gone or in the process of crawling under the vehicles.

i kneel down to see if i can see where the bits are going.

As you crouch down, you can here gravel being scuffed as the dead things shift about under the car.
Peering into the shadows you can just make out the dark shapes of limbs and parts squirming over each other, as you watch one shape gets larger, no wait, it is the torso with intestines whipping about, it is lunging out at you. Roll Initiative.

Everyone turns around to look at you as your pistol goes off, even the banging in the paddy wagon stops.
Chunks of rotting flesh and bone spray out of the back of the Dead Thing, leaving a ragged hole in its chest.

Broken claw like nails swing out toward you as it slashes at your face.

You have taken 2 bruised health levels. You can hear the others running toward you.
What do you wanna do?

I keep backing out of the current location and firing anything that tries to attack me.

The parts of the corpses have fused together in impossible ways heads crawl on hands, strange serpentine things with three heads melded together.
The banging in the paddy wagon is frantic now.
The three of you are backing up blasting at the dead things when they get too close, most of the creatures are hanging back or creeping around the vehicles.
The door of the barn is opened by a tall beautiful woman with silver hair in a simple white tunic and silver sandals.
"Quickly!" She exclaims in an almost musical voice. "Before they flank you!"
Looking around, the only places you can run without going through an obvious cluster of the dead things, is the house, deeper into the woods, or the barn where the woman is holding the door open.

"i guess i have little choice" i say to my self and run towards the open door.
