The party moves a bit closer than expected, alerting the droid at the range of about 35m.

Roamer
HP: 150
AHP: 100
AC: 50
Makeshift armor: doubled crit and graze chance against wearer. AP rounds do not damage this armor. Explosives ignore this armor.
Weapon: Duck Hunter: unique shotgun.
The weapon is an excessively large gun which fires about 60 small pellets evenly spread out over the whole team. Must use one turn to reload, single-shot, cannot miss, graze, or crit. During reload, can block, roll or perform other non-attack non-buff action. 2x60 pellets per shot, 20 per every target. Can aim to engage smart-choke and shoot at a single target, hitting up to 40 pellets. Ammunition can be created from the following: gunpowder + any rigid powder substance, 10g/60g/1 round. Generates 10g of gunpowder per minute. Cannot be used by a person with <100 HP, extremely heavy.
The Roamer looks pretty angry, but is not currently intent on attacking.
Party stats checkup:
Trooper Jameson:
125 HP
35 AC
50 AHP
Light combat armor: does not impair movement, light. Increased sneaking range.
Weapon: Hospitalier Rifle. Can switch modes: common: 30x5 dmg; incen: 25x5 fire dmg, high chance of igniting terrain or target if applicable; AP: 25x5 dmg, ignores up to 40 AC. If armor is not Makeshift, Plate, Chemical or flat block gained from damage when target has Soft status, removes 10% of current AC.
Dr. Adams:
106+12 (regen: Strawberry converts current overheal into regeneration for a total of the current overheal amount for 1 hour.) HC
40 AC
50 AHP
Doc's Armor: healing done by user or to user (can stack additively when self-healing) is increased by 30% in combat.
Weapon: syringes: stab ally for 10 HP heal, stab enemy for 10 dmg, throw at enemy for 8 dmg, ranged
Lt. Steel:
75 HP
75 AC
100 AHP
Weapon: elite pistol: ranged, 20x2 dmg. Greatswordsnipergun: 100 melee damage, 50 ranged damage for 1x of the following: stock .50BMG round, homemade .50BMG round: grazes twice as much and can't crit. Halved hit accuracy: user has too low HP and strength to wield it. Can be fixed by equipping: Sword Handle Relic. Relic's other bonuses may be undesirable: automatic weapons, daggers or other light melee weapons greatly benefit from flat dmg bonus.

Jameson crouch walks to the left, opening up with incendiary rounds aimed at the droid's head, Steel fires with his sword rifle, and Adams just ducks below grass-level next to steel.

The Roamer's armor lights up with blue fire, which slowly shimmers and turns to normal red-orange. The fire persists for a few seconds and bursts, searing but not igniting the grass in front of the Roamer.
Roamer buffs for +1 incen dmg/pellet the first time one of the following occurs: a status is applied to or by Roamer, a critical hit is scored on Roamer, or the armor is broken on Roamer. This buff can only be received once.
Jameson fires an incendiary burst on Roamer for 25x3 dmg, missing 1 shot and hitting the grass once, igniting it. Armor absorbs 13 dmg of each hit, summary of Roamer: 124 HP, 50 AC, 61 AHP. Roamer will flank the caused fire, consuming a full turn moving if it decides to.
Adams hides in the grass, drawing less attention.
Steel fires a shot at the Roamer. 50 dmg total, summary of Roamer: 99 HP, 50 AC, 36 AHP

Tson (Please take your turn, I will add the Roamer's later)

Jameson will switch to AP and shoot again, Steel will move forward and shoot and adams will follow him

Jameson fires at the Roamer fo 25x5 AP. He hits 4 rounds, dealing 100 total dmg to Roamer's health. 24 HP is left of Roamer.
The Roamer rolls through the new fire, becomes Enraged due to use of AP rounds, aims and fires at Jameson for 1+1 incen x40 dmg. The Roamer is now Sitting, and will take a partial turn to be able to move again.
Jameson's summary: the armor blocks normal damage from the pellets, but the massive wave of them caused irresistible heat, igniting Jameson for 2x5 turns or until healed. Summary: 10 AHP, 85 HP remaining. Warning: armor has reached critical levels and will not sell to merchants for much. They can repair it for the right price, however.
Adams is following Steel under grass.
Steel is moving forwards and hits a shot from the sword, killing the Roamer for 25 HP, 25 AHP total dmg.

Aftermath: party receives the Duck Hunter, Blazing Berserker-Mk1 armor of Droid origin, 46 MC from the Roamer and a Relic. The relic is a wedding ring. Wearing the ring makes the owner semi-transparent with a 75% transparency value, increasing attention of heavy hitting enemies and decreasing attention of tougher enemies. At night and in badly lit conditions, detection distance is halved and can attempt to steal something from a merchant or a Droid's pocket with much higher success chance.
Blazing Berserker-mk1 armor: makeshift, 100 AHP, 50 AC. Can be activated once per 6 hours to release a blast of searing fire, which disarms enemies for 1 turn and deals 10 incendiary dmg if at point blank range. The armor buffs user if it is destroyed, a crit or headshot is scored, or if the user takes full HP damage while the armor is intact, such as when hit by an explosion or AP rounds. The buff adds 1 incen dmg to every hit dealt by the user for the combat it was activated in. AP rounds or explosions will never damage this armor by passing through it.
Recommended to equip on Jameson as his armor is almost broken.

DocSlime
Equip armour to Jameson, Adams runs to Jameson and heals him
Steel: "We will return to the entrance, and proceed inside"

DocSlime

Tson (The road barrier is one-way so you'll have to go along the road until you find something to enter, such as launching yourself from a trebuchet on the road or simply a strong enough magnet to bend the barrier and pass under it.)

Tson

DocSlime
Steel (Sees barrier): "Oh, well, we will proceed along the road for a while"

Jameson: "Sometimes i wonder..."

DocSlime

Tson
The party advances along the road. The wall is visible and slightly lags behind the party on the road, and everyone wonders how it passed through the mountain. As they walk for enough time for Adams to start complaining, a peculiar object starts approaching by the road, which is now made out of asphalt again. The party stops to see it properly, and sticks to the barrier.
...
The object comes closer and it appears to be a giant banana on wheels... no, on tank treads. The banana is facing both ends upwards, and the thicker end bears a crude turret. The middle has a small hatch, from which a bald, pale man is looking around. Two other men are literally running on tank treads, and judging by the tank's occasional veering to the right where a slightly more chubby man with long hair is running, the tank is powered only by these two men running on the treads. The chubby man is silently singing something to himself. The bald man is stomping on the tracks so hard it sounds just like drumming, and in a catchy rhythm too. On the backside of the tank, a vampire-looking man is hanging and shanking the banana with a keychain, trying to eat it. The other end of the banana has a flag, on which a long-haired man is hanging, and apparently fiddling with the flag, as if trying to use it as a guitar. The fifth man with a similar haircut is looking out from the hatch. He greets the party, and hits the brakes, causing both runners to fall off the banana tank. They both complain and stand up. All five are pale, skinny except for one runner and look extremely grim.
"Hey! You don't seem to have any FTL fuel here, do you? We could drive this thing offroad if we get some fuel to power it. Or blood, because thanks to an invention of a man in a grey suit, many tanks now drive on blood. So if you'd like to sacri- ahem, volunteer one of you, we could hold this barrier open, and the wall too if you'd like to revisit stuff."

[Locked option: requires at least 10 FTL fuel found]
[Inform them about the upcoming mountain]
[Offer an item to them in exchange for opening the barrier]
[Ask what the hell is up with clothes and the banana tank]
[Sacrifice a party member, but not their gear in exchange for opening the barrier and roadwall]
[Leave them be]

Tson

DocSlime
Steel will inform them of the mountain

DocSlime

Tson
"A mountain? Scheiße! We'll just have to get out the road, don't we? Guys, is there something in the mountain to pay for the tank's delivery or any fuel? You've checked? We simply can't drive this thing offroad, and are dying of hunger slowly but surely. Maybe some food? We've got a hundred chunks and about... 10000 credits here. Maybe you know where we could raid a droid city? We'd gladly let you pass if you tell us at least something. And as you can see, armor and guns wouldn't hurt either."

[Inform them about one of the following: droid city as told by the Driver Droid, lie about fuel in the mountain]
[Offer one Relic, weapon or armor piece]
[Sacrifice a member to open the road, roadwall and possibly something else]
[Ask about the tank and grim look]
[Leave them alone]

Tson

DocSlime
Steel offers them Jameson's old Armour and his laser pistol

DocSlime

Tson
The man takes the weapons thrown over the barrier.
"Oh, pretty neat, eh, guys?"
The vampire man stops trying to eat the tank.
"Aye, that'll do, but who are we fighting anyways? Harmless robots?"
"They would be harmless if they saw us bravely standing on this tank as if it's perfectly functional."
The vampire man does not respond and keeps stabbing the tank.
"Hey, Voice of War!"
The chubby man turns to the tank.
"What?"
"We could use a laser gun and armor, right?"
"Right, so what?"
"Should we cut off a part of the tank to imitate a passage through the barrier and let these guys pass?"
"If we let them pass they'll kill us, Saws of Sacrilege."
"Good point. Well, I suppose it was nice knowing you, sollies. Thanks for the moun-"
"Hey!"
The Voice of War and Worship rethinks his idea.
"You know, they'll find another entrance here and kill us. There must be a way Cleaners get into corridors, right?"
"I see. Fine, take your chunks."
The man hanging on the flag descends to the hatch and throws a barrage of 100 MC and 1000 credits over the barrier.
The vampire-like man finally cuts off a bit of banana, revealing soft and ripe innards. He proceeds to impale them on his keychain and eat the banana.
"Keys of Chaos and Conversion, why are you meddling with our tank?"
"I am eating it."
"Eating? It is actually edible. Men, we're having a grand dinner tonight."
"Don't forget your pyrotechnics, we should have them stashed in the tank."
"Voice, you actually thought our tank would be of use?"
"Let's not discuss our vital plans in front of soldiers armed with a gigantic gun."
The Voice of War and Worship jumps on the tracks, so does the bald man. Keys of Chaos and Conversion digs inside the banana and sits there, eating it inside out. The tank very slowly accelerates toward the mountain, meanwhile The Pulse of Pandemonium, the man that hanged on the flag, equips the armor and the gun, now sitting on the turret.

-1 elite laser pistol
-1 light combat armour
+100 MC
+1000 Credits
[Ask about the tank and grim looks]
[Ask to stop and make another offer]
[Attempt attacking them over the barrier with Adams' syringes]
[Move on]

Tson

DocSlime
Ask about the looks

DocSlime

Tson
The Voice of War and Worship jumps off and signals to stop the tank. Six Stringed Saws of Sacrilege hits the brakes again.
"What? Ah, that. Well, it is a very long and embarassing story..."
Pandemonium Pulse stealthily signals, asking for a bribe from the top of the turret.
Voice looks up. He disappointedly shakes his head.
"Are you a complete idiot, Charles?"
"You too, we have aliases."
"You yourself gave them money!"
"Well, what was I doing just right now?"
"..."
"..."
Keys of Chaos and Conversion throws a piece of banana to Voice and Pulse, and signals to get the tank moving when the annoying soldiers and medic finally shut up.

[Throw another weapon, armor piece or Relic]
[Leave]

Tson

DocSlime
The party moves off

DocSlime

Tson
Keys throws an arrow-shaped piece of banana pointing forwards so it is visible to Saws. The runners get back on tracks, and the tank slowly moves forth, to raid the mountain. Keys looks back at the soldiers.
"You've had a chance. I bet this tank that if you could talk us into it, we could take you for a ride, even. But you say nah, we say nah too. Goodbye."
The party advances along the barrier. It took about 5 hours to reach a gaping hole in the barrier, where the barrier poles are corrupted with an unknown fractal-shaped braiding, the grass nearby is corrupted with that braiding as well, and as the party moves a bit closer, they start to feel an urge to either vomit, suicide or bite another party member, or all at once. Colours begin slowly fading, and everything around is extremely silent.

[Walk as far away from that thing as possible]
[Walk around the thing]
[Get to the road]
[Harvest the braidings from grass]
[Eat the braidings]
[Yell loudly, shoot the Duck Hunter, stomp or otherwise break the silence and urges]
[Try to either electrocute, burn, freeze or poison the grass]
[Unique: Burn the grass by dealing self-damage. Jameson shoots self for 1x60 non-crit AP dmg, activates the armor buff]

Tson

DocSlime
Jameson: (Ratatatatatatatataatatat) "YAAAAAAGH"

Steel: "WHAT ARE YOU DOING MAN, 1 YEAR ON LATRINES!!"

Adams: "I wanna go home"

DocSlime

Tson
Jameson uncontrollably fires the single shot of the shotgun, loudly yells right on top of the grass.
The grass begins burning in the shape of a diamond, the upper points of the diamond begin burning in two identical circles, forming a heart shape with the diamond's 90^o angle.
Grey smoke exudes from the burning grass, and once it settles, five what seems to be a failed engineering program between Glitchers and Constructian Droids repaired with Fractality appear around Jameson, aiming at him. They all wear long black coats and hoods, but one that wields a crossbow and not a grenade or dart gun with Fractality-tipped or filled bolts, appears to be a normal human repaired with Fractality.
"What is it? Do you seek to thwart our expanse? Do you not want the best chance this planet has for survival?"
-asks the human.

[Agree]
[Refuse]
[Open fire from the assault rifle]
[Blindly run away]
[Try a bribe with either the rifle or the Duck Hunter]
[Embrace the cultists]
