"My family is dead or never wanted me. So I try to forget about them..."
List it is.Well, the town has always been near the outback so it's a couple (insert units of measure here) out.
-How far west exactly? Too close and it's smack bang in the middle of Ipswich, too far would take them days or even weeks to get near the city.
-How has no-one (eg, civilians, SERT, the military airbase west of Brisbane) noticed a 800 metre dome? If they have, why haven't they told anyone?
-What's stopping the military surrounding the place with claymores, and just waiting for those idiots to step out?
-What's stopping a subterranean attack route?
-What are the limits on these rune things? They should have changed warfare forever.
Hence the bombs. If they all die with one nice boom, no more zombies. Besides, it's the Outback, there are only three things of value out there.Which would be nice if there were bombs that big that lacked radiation.
Wait, so inside the rune bubble is a completely closed system? It'd get so hot in there the zombies would all spontaneously combust, not to mention it'd be completely dark and silent.
Also, how does the horde get out of the reflection bubble, if it reflects absolutely everything? They'd have to put it down, which is the perfect time to drop bombs on them.
So wait for them to leave the waiting area, then bomb/shell them. Or just use a solar focusing weapon and set the lot of them on fire, because those things are awesome.Then the zombies swarm all at once and that's how shit goes south. It's like you didn't read my entire post on why they aren't going to swarm. And runes of reflection still work on light. They tend to make one blind.
"Well, you see, I used to work in a church. You know, keeping the place clean and such. Well, one day, a sailor came in and talked to the preacher about his horrible captain that matched the man head to foot. So... I joined on a privateer's ship."
"Aye, and when war comes you even have friends outside your mates. Anyways, I am seeking the man who caused my mothers decent into being a wretch. It was the last thing she ever asked of me. Even gave me specific instructions about what to do."
"Horrible. Food sucks most of the time. Ya need to eat lots of citrus to avoid unpleasant things, and you spend long amounts of time where the only relief is the type the gods can't see. 'Course, it's not all bad. And without this job I'd never be able to even thing about getting my revenge."
"Probably. Anyways, yes, I am a pirate. Kyle is my name."
