The tall grass whips violently against Seth's legs as he shoves Blake toward a low-hanging limestone ridge. A chorus of wet, guttural groans rises from the thicket behind them, the sound of at least a dozen bodies tearing through the stalks. The open plains offer no cover, and the Kingdom gates are still a brutal mile away.
Seth
Blake, run! Do not look back, just keep your eyes on that ridge!
Seth
If these are the Whisperers, we are dead if they surround us. I need to draw them away toward the ravine.
Seth pivots, his steel prosthetic blade catching the dying sunlight as he brings his AK-47 up to his shoulder. He triggers a burst into the grass where the vegetation ripples, dropping a camouflaged figure instantly, but three more burst out from the flanks, wielding jagged spears. He kicks Blake forward and charges the opposite direction, forcing the hunters to split their focus.
Seth
Go! Meet me at the gate!

SUCCESS (Good Athletics, rolled +0)
The sound of heavy engines and staccato gunfire tears through the air as Seth and Blake sprint across the final stretch of open ground. Bullets kick up dirt, but they scramble over the uneven base of the barricade, iron fingers clawing into the stone as they haul themselves up to the safety of the battlements.
Seth
Get down!
They collapse against the stone, chests heaving. Miller and Morgan Jones are already there, eyes wide as they peer through the crenellations toward the dust cloud billowing on the horizon. The vehicles are closing the distance, engines roaring like a hungry beast.
Seth
Those aren't just scavengers. Negan is sending a message. We have to fortify the gate before they hit the perimeter.
Morgan Jones
They aren't stopping, Seth. We need to decide if we hold the gate or funnel them into the courtyard.
Miller
If we lose the gate, we lose the Kingdom.
