Day 3. This is the day. The first of the drivers bites the dust, in a glorious fireball. Who will it be?
1: GROUPIE DRIVE: 1(-1/skill) = 0 Cindy said " Watch this!" as she finished off a fifth of whiskey. She puts the pedal to the floor and your truck careens off the road. She says "This is a short cut, trust me!" as the truck crashes into a orange tree. She was trying to drive through an orchard... but instead she just hit a bunch of trees. Your truck takes 5 damage and is pretty much destroyed. Most of your cargo has leaked out. Hey , it's sewage. It's fertilizer, right? (+1 score)
2: GROUPIE DRIVE(pt 2.) 5(-1/skill=4 The groupie takes you to the nearest town. She's already called her friends together at a local Elementary School Gym for you to rock out an air guitar solo.
3: ROCK OUT(MULLET) FOR FANS 6(+2/skill)=8 The air is thick and humid, and the sweat pours down your mullet.You're going to rock this gymnasium with your air guitar and unintelligible lyrics with a cassette-deck accompaniment. The lights come on , and you wail on the air guitar like you never have before. By the time the song has ended, all 13 people in the gymnasium have their lighters up in the air! After the concert you have another 2 groupies join you. The truck is getting a little bit crowded. (+1 score for ROCKING)
4: GROUPIE REPAIR : 6,1,6,2 You tell your groupies to "Go fix the damn truck!" While Cindy is still too drunk to fix anything, the rest managed to prevent all the "cargo" from leaking out onto the ground. Your truck will begin next round with 1 health.

1:BUILD LASER : 5 Somehow you find a truck carrying an industrial metal cutting laser. Since you don't have a lot of technical ability, it's going to take you some extra parts and some work to get it to a weapon form.
2:BUY PARTS : 5 You spend the remainder of your cash at the local "Electronics Hut". You somehow ended up with a mobile phone, too. And a 2 year contract. Shit. (-2 cash)
3:ASSEMBLE LASER 5 Four rolls of duct tape, and you've got a nice stable mount for your truck. You've also made a portable power supply out of it with a dozen 6V batteries. Nice work

1: ATTEMPT TO RECOVER FROM 3RD DEGREE BURNS : 6 You wake up. Using your technical knowledge, you pump yourself full of painkiller and disconnect all the IVs from you arms. You've also snatched a bunch of CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES. Because you need them, okay? Geez. You're now addicted to them. (+1 score, tough as nails)
2: CONVINCE DOCTORS YOUR VISIT IS FREE: 2 "Where do you think you are, you asshole? This is Freakin' America. Yer insurance ain't gonna pay, we're going to have to take your truck! And your house! "
3: ESCAPE HOSPITAL 1 You have no choice. You have to escape, they are going to take you truck. Nobody takes a man's truck. You start running for the exit, and are tackled by a police officer who is just walking in the door . "You're the one that blew up that place! I was just here to talk to you..."
4:ESCAPE POLICE 1(-1/turns) = 0 You attempt to RESIST ARREST. You shove the officer and he hits you with a club for 2 damage. By the time you know what is happening, you're in a police cruiser and are handcuffed. You're going to jail.

DoubleTruck : Two semi truck tractors welded together. It has two motors so it's going to burn alot of gas.
1: ARRANGE LOAN. 1(-1/alien)=0 You go to a "Payday loan" place because it is revered for it's "easy credit". You find the people there to be... deplorable. They all appear to be obtaining currency for use in expanding their drug usage. This is horrendous. Your leader would not approve of allowing these humans to continue their fetid existence. It's time to test out "The Arc Cannon" (+ 3 score, bit by weakness!)
2: ARC DRUGGIES 3 You turn the dial to "roasted" and zap 3 druggies. They suffer nonfatal but extremely painful burns. They howl in pain as they leave the loan place. The Money-Lender throws meager amounts of currency at you, thinking this is a robbery. You gain 1 cash.
3: ESCAPE 6 This place is no place for a Stephinian. You leave quickly and quietly, and you suspect the human authorities will not care about your attacks on drug addicts. You slip out and head for a more fertile moneylender.

1: ENTER TRUCK - 3 You have an okay position between your truck and the guards, so only a single guard gets a shot at you. Guard rolls a 1. Guard unloads his 9mm in his compatriot as you pass in front of him.
2: RUN OVER GUARDS 4 + 2/skill = 6 You make more guard-pancakes with your front bumper. Your truck is getting awash in blood.
3: STEAL SHUTTLE 1 You run up the stairs to the shuttle. You get into the cockpit... and start flipping levers. After pressing a half dozen buttons, you think you have ignition. You hear a loud crash and the ground shakes. Apparently .. the tank has fallen off and has hit the ground and started rolling. You hit the ignition button.
4: GRAND FINALE! 3 When you fire the main boosters, several hundred thousands of pounds of fuel make a spectacular explosion which can be seen for miles.
