Not having anything else to do, we headed in the direction she pointed only to be attacked by four tiny flying saucers protecting a giant flying saucer that was also protecting them as they protected... etc.After trying unsuccessfully to talk to them amidst their cries of "Intruder Alert!", Caddy threw her chakram at them and it was on. The fight consisted of the big one hitting us with a big cattle prod while CHIP hammered on it, Caddy threw her chakrum, Thumper moved close and threw stuff at them, and Cat-astrophy tearing at it with his claws. On a rough fight, we found a panel van with a 52 and a circle around it that no-one had a good enough Conspiracy to identify. Inside the van, however, we found some Omega Tech! A healing patch, a jar with one pill, a grenade, and little flying robot.On to the Uper Dome where we ran into a bunch of pig-people, CHIP asking for the little Yeti in heavily cowboy-laden speech only to find them hostile Road Hogs. Caddy powered up her newly mutated poisoned spines but didn't manage to land it, while Cat-astrophy's new super-fluffy fur got even thicker and fluffier as CHIP blasted one away with his six-shooter to the theme from "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly". One of the pigs released a poisonous belch before they laid into us with their nunchaku.CHIP burst out singing "Like a Rhinestone Cowboy" and blasting radioactive lightning from his eyes.  CHIP ended up squishing one with his big robot fists right before the other dropped Cat-astrophy with his nunchaku. Fortunately, Thumper had just mutated the ability to empathically heal everyone and Cat-astrophy got back up just as Caddy clawed the last one's eyes out.The combat ended, everyone mutated again, and CHIP's little flying robot exploded from the strain.  After another rest, we headed into the Uper Dome and saw a huge porker with a "Kiss the Cook Apron" preparing a cauldron with the little Yeti on a spit.Cat-astrophy attempted to sneak up, only to step on an airhorn. The porker wheeled about with a Blunderbuss and blasted everyone.  Cat-astrophy used his new Adaptive Resistance to reduce the crit he took, but Thumper took a blunderbuss full of forks to the face, then a cleaver to the face that dropped him.Fortunately, CHIP was on hand to pull out Thumper's healing patch and put in on his face while Caddy hit the piggy with a razor grenade. Thumper crawled away and began mentally communicating with all the fish within a mile (turns out there were none).Caddy tried to De-evolve him, but failed horribly. The piggy cook was about to finish off Thumper when he bled out from his Razor Grenade wounds.  Thumper gathered the blunderbuss (so he could put pieces of himself in there to fire) and we threw the piggies into the cauldron.Yeti-mom came to get her baby and gave CHIP a Leaky Fusion Rifle she found as a reward.We settled down in the Uper Dome to a night of tasty pork stew and called it a night for real.Summary:Making characters is pretty quick, random, and fun, especially imagining up what your character looks like. Combat is fast, furious, and dangerous, especially with new mutations every fight and random bits of Omega Tech trickling in. It was fun as a quick pickup game though I'm not sure how it would as a regular game.</blockquote>
