As such, Malls are frequently used as safehouses and fortresses by survivors. Zombies often check inside (when they can get in), and organized zombie groups sometimes lay siege to them. They are listed as a Tactical Resource Point. Characters with the Shopping skill can loot specific stores. Those without will find these items at random: Bookstore: books, poetry books. Drugstore: first aid kits. Gun Store: pistols, pistol clips, shotguns, shotgun shells. Hardware Store: crowbars, fire axes, flare guns, spray cans, knives, portable generators, toolboxes. Liquor Store: beer, wine. Sporting Goods: baseball bats, Binoculars, cricket bats, fencing foils, golf clubs, hockey sticks, pool cues, ski poles, tennis rackets. Tech Store: GPS units, mobile phones, radios, radio transmitters. Malls are large buildings, and are barricaded as such.

Description

The Mall, post-outbreak: a zombie mob protests against the Kilt Store's No pulse? No service! policy. The mock-medieval brickwork and domed glass roof can be seen.

Nichols Mall is a four-block shopping mall in the suburb of Stanbury Village. It was designed to match the style of nearby medieval sites such as St Ambrose's Church and Brome Library, but with an open-air design which proved a disastrous failure. The domed glass roof which was subsequently added is now in a state of considerable disrepair.

Malton's one and only Kilt Store is hidden away in the south-west corner of Nichols Mall.

History

For a detailed account of the Mall's unusual and dark history, see this page on the creation of Nichols Mall.

Nichols once supported a reasonably large number of survivors, but has been in constant flux since April 2006 as the Kilt Store's staff attempt to stave off floods of prospective shoppers from the Ridleybank Resistance Front and other zombie hordes.
