Unfortunately, your sleep is interrupted in a very unpleasant way...

You are torn from the "embrace" of sleep by a powerful sound that feels like pressure on your eardrums!

Could it really be an explosion?!

You jump up from the couch and grab your things.

A backpack with supplies...

Automatic pistol...

Revolver...

Your companion has also woken up and grabs a pump-action shotgun.

You both run out into the corridor.

Screams, explosions, glass is broken in some windows...

Flashes of flame are visible in the darkness of the night.

A lot of gunshots...

"It seems that the words about a "day to think" were just a tactical ploy on the part of the besiegers..." - you think.

"It seems that Mr. Edward Williams III has simply screwed up in the matter of organizing the defense of the city!" - the ghoul shouts.

Frightened people run out of the rooms.

The servants are screaming in panic.

You notice Brittany, terrified and sobbing among them.

You grab her by the arms and lead her along.

Bang!

Another explosion has occurred somewhere nearby! It looks like the mansion itself is being fired at with catapults. And this is a massive shelling. And perhaps this is not only the result of the catapults.

You go outside.

The darkness of the night...

It must be about 3 am now...

But the darkness of the night is dissipated by the flames...

Another explosion!

The roof of the gothic mansion is starting to burn!

It is very dangerous to stay here...

"Why are there no guards with guns anywhere?!" - you notice an alarming fact.

"Dad... Where is he?" - Brittany says through sobs.

"We will try to find him. And we will try to find a safe place where there are armed guards..." - you answer.

Looking into the distance, you notice something very bad...

In the light of the flames (the roofs of many houses are burning) you see that there is a battle going on right now on the walls of the city.

Shooting...

The screams of the wounded...

Blood from disgusting wounds inflicted by cold weapons.

What's more, there are already fights on some streets of the city!

You, Elijah and Brittany make your way among the frightened people who are panicking and trying to either hide or find one of their relatives.

The streets that are closer to the walls of the settlement are already extremely dangerous. There is a fierce battle there.

You and your companions move along the central streets of the settlement.

Near one of the houses you notice a small detachment of soldiers from the Security Corps. Among them are several wounded. You quickly help some of them bandage their wounds.

One of the soldiers swears: "Damn! Someone opened the main gates at night... Bastards-raiders took up some of the positions on the walls and broke into the outskirts of the settlement... And I saw with my own eyes how the traitors from the local inhabitants helped the raiders! The traitorous bastards shot us in the back! "

You realize with horror that the city's defense has collapsed. Edward Williams III underestimated the enemy and neglected measures against the traitors. He did not believe your warnings. And now the consequences have come.

While the fighting continues on the outskirts...

But soon the entire settlement will be captured by the raiders...

You need to save yourself and your companions...

But how?!

Break into the harbor and try to sail away on some ship under cover of night, hoping to overcome the pirate blockade by fighting?

Or run by land? In this case, you will have to move stealthily and try to leave the scene of the bloody battle as quickly as possible...

Brittany squeezes your hand and you feel her whole body trembling.
