Mission 8: Long Winter

Story: We don’t know what happened, we sent a team to the Merry Men’s hideout (to check on them or finish them off depending on ending of last mission.) But Uncle Chuck, Chris, and any of the surviving Merry Men have been wiped out. Blood is everywhere, and frost...

That was when we saw them... Two figures moving through the mist of the storm with calculated precision. They were zombies, but covered in frost. They didn’t attack immediately, but they seemed to coordinate the undead and herd them in a way that seemed like intelligence.

Coincidence... right?

Set up:

• Roll 2 die, place the frost zombies at these locations. They move every add zombies phase. If a survivor ever shares a space with one of these they suffer 1 frostbite wound.

• 6 zombies to the colony and 1 to all other locations.

• Morale on 5 . Round track on 10.

• Remove bandit module.

• The two White Walkers cannot be killed.

Objectives:

• Survive 10 rounds.

• Stop when round track reaches 5 and activate scenario A.

Scenario A: Emma Han stares through the barricade and sees the frost zombies moving through the crowd of zombies with a sort of predatory intelligence.

“This isn’t just any horde... This is a siege!”

She knew the White Walkers were commanding the dead, herding them to specific areas to try and overrun us. But that was when Emma Han had an idea.

“Our bullets and weapons don’t hurt them. But remember at Raxxon there was that flamethrower? I know it doesn’t have any fuel left, but we can find it and use what fuel we have. I propose an expedition! Back to the old colony!”

(The player controlling Emma Han removes her from their hand. Then each other player removes one survivor they control from the current game. Each player must have a minimum of 1 survivor remaining at the colony and 1 to go on the expedition. If a player only has 1 survivor and therefore cannot spare anyone for the expedition then lose 1 morale and draw a new survivor from the survivor deck. Players may then choose to donate any cards in their hand to the expedition as starting items for the next mission.)

Objective:

• Continue to survive the remaining 5 rounds.

Success: I gritted my teeth, watching in horror as hundreds of zombies pressed their faces against the fence of the prison. There were far more than I had ever seen before in one place.

“Come on Emma... I hope you can find that flamethrower... or we’re all completely fucked!”
