I'm going to attempt to get the dying priest to safety.

First, I'll support the priest until I get to the lever, as I pass the lever, I'll distract the monster by the gates towards me, I'll push the priest towards the gates, and then I'll grab and hold the lever, and hope the priest stumbles through unharmed. (Body)

Any suggestions on what I should do?

not die at the hands of those two monsters, perhaps?

I will use my body to fight off the monsters and get my hat back!

Stranger dives through the hole once more and bashes down upon one of the monster attacking Wade with both his wrench and the crowbar. The creature crumples like old newspaper. (Critical hit. I think I need to change dice.)

Pax enters the mausoleum and attempts to convince the priest to sacrifice his life in order to save theirs. The priest responds "While I would gladly lay down my life for another's, I'm afraid it would be a struggle to even stand."

Jawa calls out a greeting into the dark room. His voice echos back at him, almost mockingly. Other than that, he gets no response.

Sky attempts to get the priest to safety. He succeeds in lifting him from the floor and carrying him outside, but when he places him down to raise the gate, the priest's legs cannot hold and he collapses. Seems Sky has removed the priest from what little safety he had. The monster at the fence's attention is drawn by the commotion, and begin advancing on Sky and the priest.

Wade manages to shake the grasp of the remaining zombie grabbing him, and throws him to one side. He runs towards the cowboy hat, and the creature sitting atop it leaps at him, striking him in the face. If you'll recall, Wade bashed his nose while in the Inventory, and the face full of headcrab he just received makes his vision go white with pain. He falls directly onto the hat, crushing it. He's gotten the hat back, but at what price? The headcrab stalks him nearby, while the zombie he knocked down has regained it's footing and is advancing on him once more.

Stranger and Wade get XP.

I will open the door all the way before slowly advancing into the dark room to see what's inside, using extra amounts of caution to pay attention to my surroundings and being extra ready to bolt out of the building should I be attacked by anything. Also, I'll be careful not to go anywhere inside the room unless I've looked above that spot first to make sure there's not a barnacle waiting above my head waiting to eat me. (Brain, perhaps? Arguably Body?)

I like how there is a monster attack outside, and one of your strongest members is futzing with a room.

Another is worried about his urine-soaked hat (which is probably now covered with more urine).

Priorities.

I wouldn't say soaked, just scented. It wasn't submerges in urine.

Hey, there might be something really important in the room. Like a weapon. Or something to make me even stronger.

I got my handful of vouchers by checking out stuff no one else wanted to pay attention to (you know, instead preferring to cause trouble), I don't have any reason not to think there's a possibility something similar might happen here.

Not my fault everyone else decided to storm ahead without me.

In my defense, I attempted to cause zero trouble in The Inventory.

If I remember correctly, you gave me a voucher because I was the only one doing anything useful

I'm still trying to do useful stuff, If pax holds open the gate for me, I'll carry the priest to safety.

That and your ability to affect luck, but still an excellent point.

You current actions only lead me to believe that had there been nothing in the bookshelves, you would have continued checking for 3 to 4 rounds anyway.

You marked the bookshelves as important. Of course I would have kept checking them.

I am going to stomp on the headcrab! (booty)
