((At this rate, he'll be the first to reach Stage II. Once PCs are 75 klicks out from Mount McD's, they need to roll a 2 or higher to avoid combat with the inhabitants of the Outer Wasteland.))

Nerd diverts his attention from the bipedal insectoid specimen he is studying to grab his trusty mallet from his backpack. He fumbles around, to no avail. In his haste, he forgot to pack it! When he looks back up, the insect is gone. He groans and continues his trek into the Wasteland.

((Lasala chose to make a stealth roll, rather than engaging Nerd in combat, so you guys won't be fighting. At least, not this turn. Also, since you bombed the roll for packing, all you have is some scientific journals.))
Fry Cook gets ready to- Wait. What's this? It's a...
**Player 3 rolls a 5!**
**Player 5 rolls a 6!**
**Akrid has the initiative!**
Fry Cook, the Last Frycook, muttered a reverent incantation to his ancestors, praying for glorious, greasy baptism in a deep-fryer, were he to be vanquished in battle. The well-weathered spatula he clutched had been wielded by many legends over the centuries. Chester "Chesty" McFry, the madcap burger-flipper of the West... Ivan the Frycook, who once ruled the Rodina Mat with a greasy hand... The legendary Banzai Burgerflipper of the Japanese isles... These names and more came back to Fry Cook as he held the spatula. Some even said it had once been wielded by the Burger King himself. Its edge, honed sharper than a razor, gleamed in the light of the campfire.
Akrid, Princess of the Apocalypse, screeched as she dove towards her next meal.
**Player 3 rolls a 6!**
**Player 5 rolls a 1!**
Fry nimbly sidestepped Akrid's charge, cutting a gaping wound in her thorax as she rushed by.
Akrid hurtled into one of the large rocks bordering Fry's campfire, momentarily stunning her.
**Player 3 rolls a 5!**
**Player 5 rolls a 2!**
Fry turned and prepared to strike at his enemy's exposed flank.
**Player 3 rolls a 5!**
**Player 5 rolls a 6!**
Nothing doing... Fry thought, as his spatula swung wide of its mark.
Akrid whipped around and lept at Fry with a shriek.
**Player 3 rolls a 2!**
**Player 5 rolls a 1!**
Fry quickly ducked, and Akrid went sailing over his head and slammed into another boulder.
**Player 3 rolls a 4!**
**Player 5 rolls a 3!**
Fry lined up his strike and aimed true at an exposed point on Akrid's back.
**Player 3 rolls a 6!**
**Player 5 rolls a 2!**
Akrid tried to turn and deflect the attack, but it was too late. Fry Cook, the last of his line, leapt onto the back of the chitinous creature and drove his spatula deep into Akrid's body, mortally wounding her. She did a sort of corkscrew as she let out an unearthly scream of pain and frustration. Fry leaped off her back, pulling his spatula out of the wound as he did so.
How can it...end like this? Akrid wondered, as the world faded to black. The Princess of the Apocalypse...vanquished by a mere peasant...impossible... Akrid folded her appendages up instinctually before she lost consciousness, looking like little more than a dead spider.
**Akrid, Princess of the Apocalypse, has been slain by Fry Cook, the Last Frycook.**
Having vanquished his foe, Fry returns his spatula to his sheath after wiping the ichor off of it and sleeps until sunrise before setting out on his pilgrimage once more.

Sir Guiden instructs his disciples to scavenge lab coats from a bombed-out convenience store nearby.
"Disciples, you are now my Holy Scientists! Get to work on crafting me a bow!"
Even though Sir Guiden and his Holy Scientists lose half a day of travel, Sir Guiden's men crafted him a sturdy longbow and some arrows from a car door.
