New In Town

Alone, Professor Cuddlepunch travels the barren, windswept landscape.  Because of her telekinetic abilities, she was ousted from her colony of fellow yetis in the Valley of Sorrow.  Now, she begins a search for a new home.  As Cuddlepunch trudged across the sand dunes, she discovered a robot, upside-down and half-buried, in a sand dune.  After unearthing it, she discovered that its chest plate read "DEFENDOMAX," and it was still operational.  In fact, this robot had developed sentience and self-determination, and decided to join Cuddlepunch.  Vagabot 2.0, amnesiac and aimless, also joined the party when they discovered her wandering the dunes.

The group reaches the edge of the dunes and approaches the ramshackle farming village of Dusttown.  The locals have been able to survive by raising catdogs, a surprisingly noisy animal.  As soon as the travelers arrive and begin knocking on doors, the warning siren goes off.  Confused, the group wonders if they have set off an alarm.  The villagers retreat into their homes and barricade the doors, stranding the group in the town square.  However, the travelers are not the cause of this alarm; three dildobots approach the town from the north and begin an assault on anyone in sight.  The dildobots initiate combat with the travelers, striking them with weaponized sex toys and firing phallic rockets at them.  The party, aided by a half-cockroach half-man, defeat the dildobots.

Ricardo, the mayor of Dusttown, angrily confronts the travelers for destroying the dildobots.  Ricardo fears that their actions will bring more trouble to the village, and only instigate the dildobots further.  The travelers learn from Ricardo that the dildobots started coming to Dusttown last month, but have been coming more frequently.  Ricardo asks the party to investigate their origin and stop them.  In exchange, he offers them unnamed gadgets and weapons that he has collected in his junk pile.  Seeing an opportunity, the party accepts Ricardo's quest and heads north, backtracking the dildobots' tracks.
