The group woke after a decent days rest. The town was dark and quiet and Jake went to investigate. He met two guys who told him most people were up at The Front and the lights were all off in the hope that some zombies might pass the town by. There was then a scream and Jake investigated, finding four sprinters devouring a man. Jake legged it back to the B&B, screamed a warning and then ran upstairs to pack. The sprinters made it into the house but were then dispatched by Jake and d'Artagnan. During the fight Timothy arrived and told Debbie and Peter that Samantha was missing. The Major and the Mayor arrived and dispatched men to check where the zombies had come in and to search for Samantha. d'Artagnan tracked the zombies back to the fence and Jake found evidence that they'd been let in. Meanwhile Peter and Debbie were searching the house where Samantha and Timothy had been staying and found a chloroform soaked rag. Joining the dots, the group headed to the doctors office. There they found the nurse, Jenny, with her throat cut. Debbie dispatched her, d'Artagnan found his anti-psychotics and the rest failed to find any evidence of chloroform related shenanigans. Mary-Lou went in search of O'Neal and found no sign.
Debbie and Jake decided that the most direct way to find Samantha was to beat the information out of the Mayor or one of his men. They went to the pub to start a fight but the mayor's men refused to rise to the bait. They recommend seeing the Sheriff to help look for Samantha and accompany the group to the Sheriff's office. When the Sheriff understands the situation he abuses the Mayor's men telling them he never agreed to children being taken. He's then shot in the chest. A fight starts between the group and the mayor's men but is very rapidly ended by Jake and d'Artagnan. Peter tries to help the Sheriff and the Sheriff tells him Samantha is being held in a warehouse outside Mayville then dies. Outside the group hears the beginning of the zombie attack and the town's response. Courtney immediately leaves for the front while the rest leave for Mayville.
On arriving at the warehouse, Jake bails out of the ute and takes up a covering position. Peter and Tyrone convince a group of guards outside that the attack has begun and they're needed back at town. One guard goes back into the warehouse but the rest leave. Tyrone and Peter are forced to follow them to keep up appearances. d'Artagnan, Mary Lou and Debbie find a way into the warehouse but are very rapidly taken prisoner.
The time is 10pm, 1st of February.

Upon seeing the approaching horde, numbering in the thousands, the group begins to discuss plans. The soldiers call back to town and Morgan tells them to sit tight til he gets there. Viewing the horde Morgan believes that there is not enough time or vehicles to evacuate the town and that the best plan is to reinforce the town walls and fight it out. He asks the group to discuss this with the mayor as any suggestion of his would be dismissed out of hand. Everyone heads back to town.
They find the mayor and his brother eating dinner - burgers and chips, which no-one has seen in a while. Upon being informed the mayor sends his men to start preparations. He accepts the groups idea and agrees. He asks them to go with some of his men to the next town over, to a hardware supplies warehouse to get more building materials. The group agrees and heads out.
The town of Mayville clearly attempted a similar solution to Dalesbury - but with significantly less success. Corpses are piled up on the inside of a fence similar to Dalesbury's. There is a group of the mayor's men here at all times keeping watch on the hundreds of zombies held within the town's fences. They greet the group and tell them to be careful as the warehouse has never been properly cleared.
The group discovers a large nest of zombies inside the warehouse and dispose of them, losing two of the mayor's men in the process. They load up the trucks and head back to town. Their supplies are gratefully received. Courtney and Jake work on mining the field in front of the walls. Morgan tells the group to get some rest.

The group take the soldiers back to town and there is immediate tension. Mayor Lewis is clearly unhappy to have them around and demands they leave. After much shouting a peace is brokered and the troops are allowed to stay but only for 48 hours. Ahab sees the mayor and his men acting suspiciously and follows them. He overhears them discussing the issue with the soldiers arrival, mentioning that they've worked too hard to be discovered now and how no-one else is to be taken until the soldiers are gone. Ahab is busted listening in but manages to talk his way out of it.
Jake tries to find out what's really going on in town and after a while is approached by the wife of the previous mayor. She tells him that her husband was murdered by the mayor and his brother and then begs Jake to get her and her children out of town. Jake is then taken from her house and given a savage beating. Jake is saved by the town sheriff who backs up the story Jake has just heard but says he won't move against the mayor.
The group then discovers the newly arrived soldiers and the mayor's men at each others throats. Morgan has declared that his men will take over patrol duties and the mayor is resisting. Debbie intervenes and, for her troubles, is placed in charge of the nights patrol, comprising half mayor's men and half soldiers. During the patrol they are almost overrun a couple of times, mainly due to the squabbling between the two groups.
Nearing the main road back to Jacksonville the group spies a vast zombie horde heading towards town.
The time is 10pm, 31st of January.
