Jacob - You head backwards, shaking free your thoughts of eating some of the flesh of the rotter. It smelt worse than anything you'd ever smelt, so you couldn't even begin to imagine how bad it would taste. You head back towards the warehouse, willing to test out your new contributions to your fingers... and although they weren't massive, the long and sharp nails were certainly enough to do some damage, and were about 1.5 inches long per nail.
As you head back to where you saw the zombies, you could notice that one of them had turned from the fence. A rotter, to be precise, and as the rotter spots you, another rotter and the mysterious zombie mostly hidden by the ominous purple smoke turns their attention to you also, but the other zombie keeps their attention focused on the fence, reaching up and banging it with no avail.
The purple-smoking zombie leads the other two rotters, and you can make out deep black flesh behind the purple smoke... what was it? It wasn't bigger than the other zombies, if anything a little smaller... and it didn't seem to have nails, or anything like that. But it certainly looked different... almost surrounded by the same purple smoke you seemingly absorbed to get those claws.
=================================================================
Jackie - Grease looks up at you surprisedly for a moment, and shakes his head, grumbling something like 'nothing' before turning away, his gaze soon averting from you and back to the distance as he removes a cleaning rod from the stool below him, and it was now you could notice he kept a cleaning rod, a large, sharp knife in a dark brown leather sheath and a small, green box of bullets under the stool he sat at.
You can then hear the loud voice of Tigress shouting from behind you, seemingly it was directed towards you, and she spoke in her usual irritated tone before turning back to the four girls:
"And that goes for you too! Just... do something useful! I didn't realise I'd have to explain it, but you can't waste time out here! Especially when you're-" She stops, interrupted from what seemed to be Grease's voice, and it was actually loud enough to be slighty audible.
"Lay off." He mutters in a deep and unnaturally growling tone, looking at Tigress with his colourless eyes. Tigress flushes red for a moment, opens her mouth to say something but then turns away. She seemingly had some sort of respect for Grease. Grease goes back to cleaning his rifle with a chesty cough.
=================================================================
Sariel - As you take out the phone, Tigress does something very strange. Although you can't see it, you can hear her seemingly sniffing the phone before she pokes it in your hands, then you can hear her hair shake about as if she was snapping herself out of something, then she clears her throat.
"*Ahem*... er... no, you keep it. We don't have anyone around here who could use a... phone... for their lives. We never used to own one, you see. We lived so near our college we didn't need to! Well, I did anyway... not sure about the others. But wake up! Yes, we're in the middle of the forest, but there's the town where your other group member..." She cuts off in realisation; you were blind.
"There's a town not too far eastward from the river to the north. It isn't really that dangerous there... although we avoid it... mostly because we saw some bandit bastards around there! I wanted to go in on them... rip them to shreds... *Grrr...*" Tigress says, finishing with a low and almost unnatural growl.
"But there's only three towns still in level one corruption. The real good spots are in level two corruption zones and above... but this place is a fucking holiday compared to there! It literally rains some kind of purple fucking shit which burns your skin! I'll be damned going back to the level three zones, no matter how hard Halberd pushes me."
"But if you go back to the bunker, and head East from there, there's the town two of your group went to. Follow the river up North and head East, and there's another town... and from that town, you can keep on heading North to go to what I like to see as a little paradise. Barely any corruption there... but that place is already occupied by some other group... never really met them... but I've heard they're a bunch of goody-goodies." Tigress growls, before turning to Audrey to answer her question.
=================================================================
Diesel - As you go over to investigate the noise in the tent, the flap of the large tent suddenly unzips, and you stagger back a little as you're soon facing a huge man, just a little larger than you, and with bulging muscles appearing behind his deep black shirt. His tough, very dark-shaded African-American face was mostly hidden by a thick pair of black sunglasses he wore, as well as the deep blue beanie with the black paw-print symbol everyone seemed to wear around here. He was wearing a heavy curiass around his chest made of some form of purplish-grey metal, and his elbows and knees were covered with protective padding of the same metal. At his back was a large and ominous sword almost as big as he was, hung around his back with a strap. Although you couldn't make out his eyes behind the sunglasses, you could tell he wasn't pleased to have you in his sights as he faces you for a moment, then grunts with a hesitated effort to make himself known to you.
"Hmph. I want you people gone by the morning. Remember that." He mutters in an irritated tone before turning away; not even interested in any response you could have came up with, as if your very presence was like poison before he begins walking, and now it was apparent that the clanking was the metal plates he wore at his knees and elbows, as well as the curiass on his torso. He began walking towards Blink, and Blink looked back at Ty with a pleasant face at first, but it slowly began to hang and become worried before she whirled around again, working hurriedly. You could hear who must have been Ty muttering something to Blink, but you couldn't hear him from here.
=================================================================
Eric - You await by the wall, and Anton looks at you questioningly to begin with, but then notices the footsteps also, instantly putting a hand at his knife and keeping it raised as he waited on the other side of the door. The footsteps were coming closer and closer... and soon you could hear them literally at the top of the stairs, right by the doorway... although the figure seemingly had stopped in their tracks. Anton held his breath, knife raised and prepared for the worst. You could just make out a pair of bright, white shoes... and suddenly you could hear a female voice... almost angelic, in a way, as well as a few long strands of silver hair flowing by the doorway, although you and Anton remained hidden for now; this could be any woman... although it was establishable that it wasn't a zombie. The female voice sounds graceful... almost... angelic, in a way, as she spoke:
"Stay... pure..." The female voice whispered, and you could hear the slumping of something dropping to the floor before the woman began to go downstairs again. Anton breathed heavily with his knife readily clutched in his hands, seemingly debating whether to go out and look for the woman or not... 'Stay Pure'... what did that mean? And you know she didn't see you in the doorway, so was she talking to herself?
=================================================================
Audrey - Tigress ticks a little impatiently, then her eyes look to Ty as he walks out the tent. You could assume this is Ty (see Diesel's update), judging by how he was the final member inside the camp wearing the blue beanie with a black paw symbol on it. Tigress blinks twice, then flicks back her hair as she turns back to you, the painted black markings around her face shining a little in the gloomy sun, as if they had become oily for a moment.
"Hmph. Well, I'm personally going to try and get one back on the bandits East of the river... those bastards... they... grrr... I'm gonna get them for what they did!" Tigress growls, clenching her fists so the spikes in her knuckles dangerously protruding. She then unclenches her fists so the spikes in her knuckles die down once more, and wipes under her mouth with a near-silent sigh as she closes her eyes.
"Whatever. Blink's making arrows, Halberd's somewhere I don't fucking know, Grease is keeping watch as usual... and Ty's probably going to go forging weapons once he's done chewing Blink out over there... that crazy bitch shouldn't just hug strangers..." Tigress mutters to herself, then turns back to you with a flick of her brunette hair.
"If you can scavenge anything then you'd be helping yourself. Remember that Ty's only letting you stay one night. After that, you're on your own. And if you want one piece of advice out here in this shithole? Never waste time. Be it talking to people, procrastinating or whatever. We're gonna take down that tower one day... so survive to see it!" Tigress says, actually smirking proudly for once as she jabs a thumb to her chest, then turns away, breathing quietly for a moment before clicking her neck to the side.
"I'm going to go get my revenge on those absolute fuckers. I'll be back later. Avoid Ty if I were you, he'll do nothing but give you folks grief for now. Halberd seems to like you people though... can't imagine why..." Tigress says to everyone in the proximity, then starts to walk away with a huff, clenching her fists, muttering something about Halberd.

But it certainly looked different... almost surrounded by the same purple smoke you seemingly absorbed to get those claws.
-A 1m coil of barbed wire. It must have come loose from the fence.
-A green shirt. It's very small. It must have belonged to a child.
-Zombie Rotter #1 [10/10]. It's attacking the fence. It hasn't noticed you.
-Zombie Rotter #2 [10/10]. It's starting to walk towards you. It hasn't noticed you.
-Zombie Rotter #3 [4/10]. It's starting to walk towards you. It hasn't noticed you. This one has one arm and no mouth.
-Zombie ??? [??/??]. It's starting to walk towards you. ???
Ways to go:
Forward - To the chainlink fence of the warehouse. You couldn't see an entrance. Zombies are in the way.
Right - Nothing special. Just more moors.
Left - A large, deep crater in the ground. Like a small meteor landed.
Back - Back to the bunker.

Damaged House #1 Upstairs Room:
-Back Downstairs.
-A medium-sized bright orange backpack. It's laying on the bed.
-A small, brownish backpack. It will hold less. It's laying on the bed.
-A cupboard, full of various hoodies and pants of almost every colour. Nothing camouflaged or anything, however, and no special clothes to note. It's been ransacked by Anton.
-A desk with a light on. It contains an unopened drawer.
-A large, white bed. You can see something small bulging from under the covers.
-A few posters with... interesting... pictures of Cheryl Cole on them.
-A computer sitting at a desk. It looks quite new, and it's attached to a relatively fancy screen. It's attached to the mains, but the power plug looks busted.
-There is a small, bright white gem laying in the doorway.
-You can hear the slight sound of footsteps at the stairs, but now they're going away.
Ways to go:
-Destroyed House #1 - It's on fire, and smoking. There doesn't seem to be anything.
-Destroyed House #2 - It's essentially a pile of rubble of white concrete and wood.
-Damaged House #1 - It used to be a pretty green. The paint has mostly stripped off. The windows are destroyed, and so is the door. It's a largish house, and the furthest away from the zombies.
-Damaged House #2 - It's a very small house, made from wooden planks. A hole seems to have been bashed into the side of it. It's so small you could probably mistake it for a shed.
-Damaged House #3 - It's a medium sized house made from reddish concrete, and a hole has been smashed into the side of the wall.
-Damaged House #4 - You can make out a tall, yellow house. It seemed to be quite a big house, but the top floor has seemingly been revealed by the huge hole in the side of it, showing a destroyed bedroom.
-Damaged House #5 - Something isn't right about this house. It's coloured a strange purple, and a deep purple light is visible even in the daylight through one of the cracked windows.
-Pristine House - A brightly coloured, yellow house. The door, the walls, and the windows all seem to be in perfect condition; not even affected by the corruption. All the zombies seem to be attracted to this house.

Notable things/people inside the spiked log walls.
-Tent #1 - Nothing special, just a two person green canvas tent.
-Tent #2 - Nothing special, just a two person green canvas tent.
-Tent #3 - Nothing special, just a two person green canvas tent.
-Large Tent - This tent is much bigger than the other tents, and made of blue canvas. It could probably hold about six people.
-A large canvas suspended above an area containing what looked like to be a makeshift forge, with burning embers inside a cobbled stone wall. There was an anvil laying next to the forge with a hammer next to it. The hammer was still slightly smoking, as if it had been used recently. There is a huge makeshift sword of purplish iron sticking out of the forge, and judging by the rough edges, it was clear it wasn't finished yet.
-Another large canvas suspended above an area with various blue gallon jugs, and three crates. The gallon jugs held what you could assume to be water, but the crates were unknown.
-Blink is here, and she has gone back to fletching arrows. She is talking to Ty with a scared expression on her face.
-Tigress is here, with her arms folded.
-Halberd isn't anywhere to be seen. He might be outside the camp.
-Grease is here, sitting in his stool. There is a box of bullets, and a large knife in a sheath under his stool.
-Ty is here, talking to Blink about something. He doesn't seem happy.
Ways to go from The Black Paws' camp:
Northward. Halberd said there was a river of this way.
Eastward. It leads to an unknown location from this area.
Westward. It leads to an unknown location from this area.
Southward. This leads out of the camp, and back in the direction of the bunker.
