ZE: Stronghold Sneak Peek

Here is a scene that takes place chapter 8 when you are trying to determine where to confront a major new enemy. This is the first time I am instituting a new future that displays the difficulty level and rewards for choosing different paths.

The options in the choice are showing you what it would look like if you have Gamemaster Mode on.

Aldor sets a pot into a sink filled with soapy water, beginning to scrub it clean. "What if we go for a wide-open spot? Like, we took a park where there's no hiding for them? Maybe somewhere close to the Zone 1 entrance, where the ${zombie}s are."

"That's brilliant!" Mari chimes in. "We could arrange the exchange at the amphitheater. It's right out there in the open, near the bridge. Mendoza won't have the upper hand with all the zombies running around."

Julian glances around. “So, who’s going to ensure our safety from the infected swarm?” He spots the looks from the others and holds up both hands. “Hey, I'm thinking out loud. That’s all.”

Alex snaps his fingers. "We could do it here." Everyone turns to look at him, shock showing on their faces. "It sounds crazy but we can say that ${firstname} is starting to turn and can't move. We can set this place up with traps and get into position."

Jasmine rubs the back of her neck. "You are asking Mari to give up her apartment. They will destroy the place."

Mari shrugs. "If Stronghold falls, what difference does it make?"

Harmony stands and slams the palm of her hand against the wall. "Screw them! Let's take the fight to them. We go in, guns blazing, and take Siena back."

Julian rubs his chin. "It's not the most terrible idea. They already think they have the upper hand. When that occurs, it makes them lax. They may not expect us to attack."

Everyone turns to you, looking for your decision…
