So the ghoul cleared the distance between them in 1/3rd of a pass? Just how close are these guys?
At a full run, that would mean they started from 7 meters away. Like the length of a room. That's a pretty damn short gravel lot, even if they came out of the front of the closest building. (Joe was standing in the middle of a parking lot.)
Also, did the guy really have enough dice to passive dodge with 11 dice after the -4 for a wide spread? He'd need 15 dice, like a Reaction 9 adept with magic 6 and 6 levels of combat sense. He couldn't get a running bonus to dodge, since he lost the initiative, and he couldn't go on full dodge and attack in the same action phase. Zombie Bruce Lee is not playing by the rules here, man.
Anyway, with the -3 penalty for total darkness, the first attack was unchanged, but the 2nd was only 3 hits. Moonlight/Starlight should be enough to keep it from being full darkness though. Even the glow of the city off the clouds would keep it in lowlight range.
Low-Light Vision: This accessory allows the user to see normally
in light levels as low as starlight.
If it's partial light, then it's still -1 which leaves 4 hits on the 2nd attack.
