Gettin' Moist, Part 1

The party travels across the wasteland, in search of the Archive.  Although some in the party have been there before, none remember it.  Vagabot's memory stirs as they travel a sandy path that she's been down before.  Their quiet journey is disturbed by sudden tremors in the land.  The party is troubled by these seismic rumbles, but they carry on.

As they approach a narrow valley, they spot a lanky insectoid traveler frozen in place.  The traveler instructs the group to slowly move forward, because something underneath the ground can feel their footsteps.  The party follows his instructions, only to get surrounded by two enormous molesharks that emerge from the ground.  The insectoid pulls a gun on the travelers and tells them that this is a stick-up; either they give him all of their omega tech, or they get eaten by his moleshark friends and he takes their stuff anyway.  The party tries to talk their way out of the situation, but to no avail.  Duke doesn't bother talking, and immediately attacks the robber.  The sharks dig into the party, and their bites deal incredible damage.  Duke and Defendomax kill the robber, but at the cost of Professor Cuddlepunch, who is eaten by the moleshark.  Despite their large, lumbering nature, the party has a difficult time hitting the molesharks with their weapons.  They slug it out with both massive beasts, but take heavy bites along the way.  The champ of the battle is Vagabot, who evades two crushing chomps and successfully swarms one of the molesharks, which freaks it the hell out.   Eventually, the party succeeds in re-burying the hulking foes.

Finally, the party arrives at the Archive.  They find its enormous facade punctured by a large hole.  They recognize this hole as the one caused by Vagabot in the security video.  From inside the Archive, they hear Windsor's voice.  Windsor is clearly talking to himself, delineating plans for rebuilding his robot empire.

As the group approaches, a scavenger appears from the building, suiting up in an oversized samurai outfit.  Behind him are four samurai droids, marching in unison.  He announces that he has taken the best of what was left in the Archive, and now he's going to test out his new robot samurai army on the party!
