The winter has been progressing along quietly, not including the blizzard, and most of the survivors are getting the sense that it seems to be nearing its end, something that everyone is looking forward to. It’s been a lucky winter, no one has died, and even though the farms have suffered, the food stores have been enough that with some rationing, no one has had to go hungry. The days are getting longer and warmer, and it wouldn’t be too long before the snow begins to melt.
And then, one night, as everyone lay sleeping in their bed and only a handful of guards patrolled the wall, a loud combination of a crash and snarls roused everyone.
A handful of infected had managed to approach the gates without notice, and, in a great show of strength, broke through Sanctuary’s defenses. Every willing and able body rushed to defend their home, and after a heart pounding twenty minutes, the infected were put down and the damage to the gates were revealed.
The posts, that had acted as structural support for the gate and the surrounding wall, have been broken clean in half and the wall around them has splintered. The gate itself is salvageable, but with nothing to hold it up, it’s become utterly useless.
No one may have died this time, but Sanctuary’s defenses have been compromised.
(OOC:) Welcome to our newest event! This event is designed to really kick off the start of our resources mechanic. You're more than welcome to write a thread during the invasion of the infect, but The Walls of Sanctuary have been damaged and will need to be rebuilt, see below for the mechanics.
Runners will need to go on runs to get the bulk of the resources needed to rebuild.
Any thread written by non-runners about physically rebuilding the wall will count towards the HP
