The Wasteland is an unforgiving and cruel place. If you venture out of Haven, don't expect a warm welcome or an easy time.
Whilst travelling through the Wasteland, you may decide yourself that you want your character to be attacked. You can then simply write a fight between your character and whatever it is they are fighting; and they will usually win, unless you want otherwise.
However, there may be a time when you are attacked by an admin controlled enemy. These are different, and normally occur because of some sort of plot development or recent events.
Undead Attacks
Animal Attacks
Outsider Attacks
Anyone can control NPC Shufflers, Spitters, and small animals (rats to large dogs)- even if they have been introduced via an admin's NPC post. Only admins can control Stalkers, Berserkers, large and exotic animals, and Outsiders.

Undead Attacks
When an admin uses an undead attack, you are normally meant to fight your way through it or run. This is one of our ways to get you to earn any abilities or jobs we may give you. Average undead attacks usually consist of Shufflers and maybe a few Spitters. However, an admin may decide that your character needs to face something worse, and may use Stalkers or Berserkers instead.
If they use their own undead character, be ready for an epic fight and some sort of plot device or twist being used. We admins are crafty buggers.
Animal Attacks
Pretty simple, your character gets attacked by animals out in the Wasteland. These are not infected animals, as this is classed as an undead attack. You may make your character run into a nasty pack of rabid dogs, or crazed sheep.
If an admin attacks you with animals, it's due to current events. They may use animals that were once in zoos, so be careful.
Outsider Attacks
Outsiders are the people who live out in the Wasteland. And they are not your friends. Many of them are sadistic butchers, who delight in capturing, torturing and eventually cooking anyone they catch. They often travel in large raid groups, using weapons from pool cues to makeshift crossbows.
An attack from them can usually result in one or more of their victims being carried away to their lair. As such, Outsider attacks only happen when an admin is in control, as it sticks to some sort of plot or new occurance.
