Cutting Through the Hotel.

 Joel and Ellie cut through a hotel filled with spores, runners, and clickers. Ellie slips inside to unlock the door, but what follows is far from easy. After stealth kills in the lobby, noise draws in more clickers, forcing a bloody fight where teamwork and survival instincts mattered most.   Joel suggested we could try cutting through that hotel if I was up for it. Then Joel was looking at that big window, which was too high for us, so I went looking for another way. I found the main entrance door was locked from the inside.   Joel came over and noticed a hole where Ellie could fit, so he lifted it, and I crouched ahead to see if there was a way to get inside and maybe open the door from the other side.   I went inside and opened the door first, as it was damn scary inside there. Ellie thought Joel would thank her, but Joel didn't give her credit; he asked her to eat instead, as she was not healthy, lol.   Joel saw a way through, but they got spores ahead, so they put on their masks. Ellie asked if it was needed for her as there was no one around, but Joel suggested she put it on, as they never know when they meet someone.  We found the body of a clicker there that started spreading infections around. Joel understood it was shot a while back, so Ellie was asking when the last patrol went through there.   Joel found a door that he opened a little and saw infected+clickers on the other side. Joel would ignore them, but Ellie reminded him they were on patrol.   We went ahead, and I was going for the runner in front of us when Joel went for another one that was through the other door, and both of us took down two runners at the same time.   I had to take down another runner (not the ones above), and then came to this big lobby where I noticed two more runners and a clicker. After taking down the runner in stealth, we were waiting for the right time to go for the other one.   The clicker was closing in, so I had to take the shot on the last runner there when Joel was checking on the clicker that was also close by.   As Joel was not doing anything to the clicker and I didn't unlock Shiv kill yet, I shot the clicker with the rifle and took it down with enough noise that'd attract any runner or clickers from miles.  And a bunch of clickers ran towards us from the floor above, so we became ready for a bloody fight.   When I was somehow keeping up with one of the clickers, the other one was chasing Joel on the other side of the room.   The clicker on my side almost took me down as I failed to take it down with handgun bullets. Joel came over to support me there, and I finished it off using the baseball bat.   When we were done with that pair of clickers, there came some runners, and they were too fast. Luckily, Joel helped me take down those runners.  Then there was this last clicker whom I didn't allow to come close to me. I just shot it down with handgun bullets. We'll check what happens next in another post. --- Image Source: In-game screenshots. End of the post. Peace.
