[HOE] Request for advice on Deadlands(as in, fear level 6)



spoilers for the High Plains posse.










Howdy. This here's Marse Uriah, and I've got a request for your suggestions 
on How to run things inside a Deadland.(fear level 6) 
this's the scenario- The posse is going to be in the bombed(conventional 
only, not ghost rock) ruins of a city. They're in a parking lot bordering a 
river, and they're guarding an armored vehicle. The parking lot is bordered 
by buildings on three sides, and a river on the fourth- the only way in or 
out is through the buildings, a river-based sidewalk, and a narrow driveway. 
They have to watch the vehicle all night. In a Deadland.  

 The city (Great Falls, Montana) played home to a brigade of National Guard 
armor. As such, the city was a prime target for British air strikes and 
artillery from canada. Civilian casualties during the war were incredible- of 
a population of almost 100,000, there was a nearly 30% kill rate. This meant 
that when the Apocalypse came, there was a town that didn't have a mealstrom, 
and was purportedly full of guns and ammo from the national guard, and it 
became a scavenger hub. However, like I mentioned, it was also full of 
corpses, and as such, Walkin' dead. So scavengers would come in, and find 
almost more guns than they could carry, and then get raided and killed by 
Zombies.(these zombies ain't slavering, brain moanin' idiot cadavers, they're 
your average intelligence, home court advatage havin', ambush settin' walking 
dead.) The other option was for two scavenger teams to meet, get greedy, and 
have tremendous shoot outs, and kill each other. However you got into the 
city, you likely to get Mean Guns and kill others, or get greedy with guns 
and get ambushed by zombies. But those scavvies that did get out were 
basically unharmed, and spread stories about this great depository if 
munitons. But that was in the old days, and the town doesn't get a lot of 
patrons nowadays. but it's still crawling with zombies and guns and ammo.

But anyway, what kind of encounters or monsters would you suggest for 
something like this?
