Ilsa and Teresina were up front. Suddenly, a cry for help was heard. Ilsa warned Teresina that it could be a trap. However, the warnings fell on deaf ears as Teresina wanted to rescue what sounded like a survivor. Teresina quickly arrived at the source to find out it was an ambush. Five ghouls with crossbows appeared along with a side of a trio of skeletons, a new enemy. The skeletons were wielding another new weapon: A magic [url=http://unobtainium13.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/carbine.jpg]carbine[/url] that utilized a scope and a revolver's swing out chamber system. The skeletons seemed to be more armed and competent than their ghoul counterparts and as a result, Ilsa attempted to land a head shot on one of the skeletons. It was a success as Ilsa's rail sniper landed right between the eye sockets of the skeleton closest to her. Teresina directly retaliated at the ambush with a shotgun blast to the one of the ghouls. After the attacks, both would hunker down. While the enemies were to find better cover, one of the ghouls shot at Teresina, who was in low cover. Although she was hit, the powered armor proved its improved strength by shrugging off the enemy bolt! This was a testament of humanity advancing in a matter of weeks. Now it was the rests to demonstrate their prowess.
