The zombies are all looking to add you all to the ranks of the undead. They are all huge in numbers. Battle the zombies or find a way to evade them.
Between combat and grappling, Maryann is perfectly well equipped to do both - but she's never been one for defensive action when offense is available. She swaps out her yoyos for one that appears to be glowing with heat and one that's glowing with... well, light, but the elemental kind, y'know?
She begins swinging the yoyos around, decapitating zombies with the yoyo string, grabbing them and bashing them into each other, just smacking them with the fire and light. Whatever it takes to get rid of the swarm.
And as a backup plan, she does have the grappling yoyo available to swap to if things ever look dicey. She'll be able to swing through the trees to safety, hopefully.
A demonic hound the size of a pick-up truck leaps in front of you. You try to run but it is too fast and strong to escape from. It can be killed however. Find a way.
"Well, you're a big boy, aren't you?" Maryann immediately yoyos around the hound's neck and swings herself up onto its back! From there, she uses her second yoyo to also grapple the hound's neck for better grip, and uses her improvised reins to drive the rampaging beast through the zombie hordes. If the zombies don't take it down, well, then it'll take down the zombies, won't it? Driving it around should tire it out at the very least.
If she still needs to dispose of it when all is said and done -
A burning portal to Hell opens up close to you all. And you all fell hands grasping your feet, looking to drag you all into eternal torment. Find a way to free yourself from these hands to avoid damnation.
- hold that thought, apparently, cause these hands just showed up trying to drag them both back to Hell! Well, a giant hellhound should be able to fight back easily enough, assuming she still has that. If it can't outrun the hands - or better yet, trample them to death - then it'll serve as a perfect distraction for them while she grapples to safety.
If she doesn't still have the hellhound at this stage, things get a little dicier, but the first instinct is obviously to get to higher ground. She swaps the fire yoyo for a grapple yoyo and tries to latch on to a tree or cliff or something. Meanwhile, with the light yoyo, she strikes back at the attacking hands, breaking their knuckles and/or yoinking them out of the ground to hopefully be too disoriented to fight further.
... and after all is said and done, if the hellhound is still around and hostile, she can drive it into the river.
1. Your yo-yos managed to be effective. You set some on fire and burn some with your light. While you do manage to handle yourself well, you decide maybe it's time to jet before you get swarmed. You yo-yo away while the escaping is good.
Rolled 5 and 1+ for yo-yo skills for 6.
2. The beast however to a more challenging fight. the second you yo-yo it around its neck, it swings its head upwards and lifts you 50 feet in the air before you fall back down right into the jaws of the creature. It rips you apart into doll fragments. Again, the Ranger points to your remains and you reform again, back to life.
I trust now you will have a swing of things?
Rolled 2 and 1- for lightness for 1.
3. However, after your death, you managed to figure out a way to work the beast. Again you yo-yo it around the neck and force it to trample the hands into dust before you right away on the creature like some kind of rodeo cowboy.
Rolled 7.
