Session fun rating: 10/10
Joel and Ellie made it out of Pittsburgh. It all started with a sort of duel between our dynamic duo and the god damned Humvee that's been fucking with us since we arrived. We had to hide from the truck's field of view, often while taking out other bad guys. Eventually, we reached a safe spot, only to be ambushed by a black dude.
After a brief brawl, it became obvious that the man was just another survivor, named Henry. He also has a little teenage partner, a boy named Sam. All four of us made our way to their hideout, an architect's office. After resting, we decided to try making it out of the city. With two extra pairs of hands, it should be easier.
At night, we sneaked out, took out a bunch of guards and hid from the Humvee again. Then, shit hit the fan. Our two new friends abandon us in favor of saving their own skin. Ellie goes back to Joel where they are eventually forced to jump down the giant bridge. Considering Ellie can't swim, that was a dangerous proposition. Thankfully, the Henry and Sam felt bad about leaving us and saved us from drowning. We explored the sandy beach for a bit where we discovered a sailor's abandoned fishing boat and a sewer entrance. We are trying to reach a communications tower where Henry's friends are waiting.
In the sewers, we found evidence of a large group of survivors that has been recently wiped out. The place is rigged with tons of traps and alarms but we still had to fight a few infected. I stopped playing once I reached a depressing room filled with toys, a man's corpse, about three children's corpses and a message scrawled on the floor. "They didn't suffer..." it said....
