Gettin' Moist, Part 2

Battle commences at the Archive facade.  The raider utilizes his new-found helmet to focus the droids on Duke, and the samurai robots begin to swarm him.  Meanwhile, Cuddlepunch and Defendomax flank the raider in an attempt to liberate the helmet from him.  Vagabot and Nyridius struggle to help Duke deal with the samurai robots.

Duke sustains heavy injuries from the samurai droids, but uses a new mutation of walrus tusk-sized vampire fangs to turn the tide.  Duke bites into the raider, regaining some health in the process.  Nyridius finishes the raider with his own odd mutation; causing the the raider to be racked with a fatal bout of hysterical laughter.  As a reward for the savage beating he received, Duke picks up the helmet and assumes control of the samurai warriors.

Gazing upon the sight of the massive Archive, Vagabot and Defendomax experience flashes of memory.  Defendomax remembers protecting Windsor, who was an employee of the Archive.  Vagabot remembers attacking the Archive, but under someone else's orders.

The party enters the Archive and wanders the halls.  There is not much left to see; a once grand and well-staffed museum is now a ransacked, pillaged shell.  The party finds many empty display cases, insinuating that several bands of raiders have taken everything of value and power.  Down another hallway, the party hears the voice of Windsor, who is clearly talking to himself.  "THIS is how I will rebuild my empire, and get revenge against Reaper!" he shouts.  The party confronts Windsor, who offers the party access to the moisture crystal they seek, in exchange for the samurai droids.  After some tense discussion, the party accepts Windsor's bargain.  Windsor opens the door to the next chamber.

Inside, the party is attacked by three previous versions of Defendomax - Mark I, II, and III.  They are also confronted by a giant Paula Deen robot, who shouts "HEY YA'LL!  BUTTER!"  and attacks the party with kitchen-based attacks.

Paula Deen dishes out intense damage to Cuddlepunch and Nyridius, and at one point toasts Cuddlepunch like a slice of bread.  But Cuddlepunch fights on, and takes the opportunity to silence Paula Deen 'bot with her telekinesis.  Although Defendomax is beaten by a previous version of himself, the party comes out victorious.  The Paula Deen robot is defeated, and the older, imperfect Defendomax robots are scraped.
