Jameson: "Eating grass? why does that make you mad? is it because it is alien grass or something?"

Steel: "lets get moving, CRATE, how much further do you make it till we reach our destination?"

Adams: "My feet really hurt now"

Jameson: "Shut up"

Adams: "You shut up"

Steel: "seriously this again? Jameson latrines six months"

Jameson: "AAAARGH"

The droid makes use of the confusion and slaps Steel in the head, knocking off his hat and dealing no serious damage.
"What do you think you're doing? You're not his father, it looks like the other way around more than anything!"

Steel aims his laser pistol at the robot and goes red in the face, he snatches up his hat from the ground and yells: "I am his superior officer you peice of malfunctioning tinfoil, Jameson! put this robot under arrest NOW!"

Jameson: "aw' heck i just took the 'cuffs off him"

Adams: "Arent we getting a little out of hand here?"

Steel: "your right, Jameson belay that order, (To robot: ) Just don't do it again"

The droid crosses arms and walks like that for a while before apparently getting exhausted and walking normally.
The party approaches the mountain and the cave entrance. CRATE suddenly attracts attention.

You are approaching a mountain with a cave corridor disguised as a work of nature. In fact, it is Constructian and looks more like a spaceship corridor. The corridor will have numerous rooms, explore at own risk. You may walk around the mountain as it is extremely short, but doing so will put you out of the road with risk of a Roamer or Wildroid ambush. Your new friend certainly does not have any sense of hivemind. Beware, as the houndroids are vicious, fast and hard to hit. The mountain is not protected by the barrier as well, the rooms might have Roamers or Cleaners inside. Take your time and choose. CRATE would like to remind you that the doors are of Construct Metal and block all sorts of waves, disallowing any sort of scan.

CRATE floats above the droid thanks to its magnetic properties, effectively sitting on the droid through magnets.

(Will reply in a mo, by the way my event wil start properly tommorow, is that ok by you?)

Steel: "I would like to survey the outside of this obstruction, we will proceed round the base."

Adams: "My feet..."

Jameson: "CRATE, do you think this is a bad idea?"

The three wait for CRATE's reply

“Guys, you know what to do.”
I grab the megaphone, and Jamoke and 44 cover their ears.

BEGIN!!!

The BOX apparently sighs and after a second the party and the BOX are in plains with high grass reaching knees. The BOX conveniently floats about six feet above the ground.
"You are approaching the Construct. Please, find a road as the Roamer parties outside roads are incredibly tough and you barely stand a chance if you're jumped. As I have not yet generated a map, you will have to explore yourselves. Follow me."
The BOX floats in the opposite direction of where both Guy and Jamoke were looking. They turn around to see a fairly large, seemingly endless structure of dark black-purplish metal which reflects light like a mirror, yet it is shaped like very, very tiny spikes to reflect all light back to the sun and avoid blinding visitors. As the party walks up the stairs, weather suddenly starts to change and clouds amass in a larger cloud right above the party, which moves to an asphalt road as BOX leads. Once they step onto the road, a wall rises from behind them, non-magnetic and too high and slippery to climb. The wall reflects light perfectly like a mirror. It arranges a row of beam projectors pointed at the ground in front of it. BOX speaks.
"The road is protected by a one-way hardlight barrier. The barrier allows to exit the road, but not enter and entrances are commonly found in corridors, which are dangerous by themselves. Cluttering the road will result in a party of Cleaner droids arriving and erasing the griefer from the Construct with double handheld miniguns. Outside the roads, Roamers and Wildroids move about. Staying off-road for more than a day will attract the attention of special squads, more with each day passing. The wall behind you will advance forth at about 4 km/h, but it will speed up if you run too far away from it. Slow down to a comfortable walk. Along the road, you will find interactibles and possibly enemies. The road is shaped like a wave to minimize sight distance without hindering the overall atmosphere."
As the BOX says that, more clouds amass and start raining. BOX hands out head-mounted umbrella hats.

DocSlime We take the hats and continue walking.

As the party walks down the road, they encounter an armed droid standing by a table on the side of the road, disguised with a mirror pointing downwards to create an illusion of a seamless road. It politely asks to holster the guns and puts its own on safety. The table in front of the droid looks like it will break just by the sheer weight of valuables and relics. You decide to browse the wares and Jamoke suddenly feels a weight in his pockets. Turns out, there were small MC valued more than bigger chunks. The merchant looks at Jamoke's pockets and estimates a total of 180 MC on him.

1. Silver Urn
The merchant allows to hold the urn for a moment, and raises his weapon to avoid a scam. Holding the urn, you feel a sense of divine fear and growing rage. You quickly put it back to avoid murdering someone. The urn costs 240 MC.
2. ???
The object seems to be a sword handle with two spear ends on it. Holding the relic in your hand, you feel stronger despite it having little to no combat ability. It costs 140 MC.
3. Pear
It is a common pear. The merchant does not allow to hold or taste it. Interestingly, it costs 340 MC.
Weapons:
Common Steel Dagger: 30 or 10x2 dmg. If owner has light or cloth armor, second strike mode is replaced by a open-vein strike against organics, dealing 20% of the victim's HP bleed dmg per turn after being struck. 20 MC.
Common Golden Sword: 40 or 20x2 dmg. If owner has plate armor, deals 50% more damage to Wildroids, the Blood Cult (wat), Roamers, Desecrated Shrines or Pagan Shrines. The sword has a european-style guard often seen on the swords of crusaders. Becomes blunt slightly slower than steel thanks to reinforced gold alloys. 50 MC.
Lightning Orb Caster: a weird weapon in the shape of a gatling gun without the barrels. The merchant fires it in the air, which launches a ball lightning that immediately zaps and evaporates nearby droplets while shrinking.
1x20 electricity dmg in AoE around shot orb, 60 electricity dmg on direct hit. Orb zaps all enemies not further away than 10m (~30 ft) from each other, starting with the closest and evenly spreads out zaps up to a max of 7 per person. Seems to regenerate 1 orb/20 min for a total of 6 orbs. Can be shot down with a firearm, hardlight gun or reflected with magnets, e.g. rail/coilgun strike or other sources of magnetic damage. 180 MC.

DocSlime Jamoke also looks at the various items, looking over which one he should buy.
“Yo homes, I think I’ll get numba two.”
He reaches into his pocket, and puts the money on the table. Suddenly, the table breaks due to all the weight, and all of the items fall to the ground.
“Oops...sorry, he he...”

The merchant stares at Jamoke with extreme annoyance, quickly and harshly takes the chunks and throws the handle right in Jamoke's face, thankfully handle-first and not dealing serious damage. The merchant points at the road, signaling to leave and taking out his gun. As the wall approaches the merchant, it moves to the side, speeds up and moves back to cover the road. It then slows down to the normal speed.

-140 MC
+Relic gained: Handle. Effect: when held, all melee strikes deal flat armor-piercing 5 dmg on top of every strike. All ranged strikes deal 3 melee dmg on top instead, and do not require to hold the relic. 5 melee, AP dmg if used as a weapon.

Karta
Features three barrels and 4mm caliber for insane rates of fire without much recoil.
Fire modes: full auto, fuller auto, mega auto
600 RPM, 1800 RPM, 2400 RPM respectively
Fed by quadstack mag of 4mm rounds equipped with matter reconstructor which rebuilds 4mm ammunition fron inserted solids. Organics yield more rounds per volume of matter. Can be "fed" blood for round regeneration, creating new rounds while firing. Mag houses 400 bullets.
Damage in Construct: 10x5/turn
Light: Light recoil affects accuracy, reducing hit chance of subsequent bullets. Does not impair movement speed or agility.

Defier
Features insane caliber and many pellets in a round to ensure a hit even if the shooter is a complete pan-faced corpse-eating death-loving wanker.
Double-barreled, one round per barrel, break-action reload.
Has an inbuilt stock-mounted shell generator which reconstructs new shells at about 1 shell/10 seconds for use with Defier. Heavy recoil is mitigated by equally heavy weight.
Damage in Construct: 2x40/turn at point blank, expected 1x20 at 20-30m range, 1x5 beyond that. Can fire both shots per turn, but suffer Knockdown for one turn, doubling amount of pellets fired
Heavy: 40% less pellets hit if user has <100 HP and cannot properly wield such a massive weapon.

(I haven’t made Desperate or Sheev yet)

CRATE assesses the party's weapons again and advises Steel to use his new sword if the party wishes to move around the mountain. The wall is not that far behind, so the party quickly decides to go to the left with 2 votes vs 1 vote.
The party moves along the mountain and then Adams suddenly trips on something soft in the grass outside the road. He picks that up, and it is another "Lootsack", whoever thought of that name.

Lootsack
20x .50 BMG rounds. The rounds look a bit shoddy and dirty, but should probably fire out of the sword (hopefully) without exploding.
1x Relic.
The relic appears to be a pair of steampunkish goggles. Try wearing the goggles?
1x Strawberry. The strawberry is packed in a small plastic bag and kept on a padding of grass so it won't get squished. Eat it?

steel holsters his pistol and puts on the goggles, he then holds his sword.
