I stopped by a Hazardous Waste Sarcophagus. Knowing what I was about to get into, I put on a Hazmat suit AND my robot fighting face. I shot my gun and threw grenades until it was clear, then took off my Hazmat suit.
Then I realized that I needed pipes to build mufflers with. I went back inside to disassemble the display racks. I went down to 2 out of 5 bars of health and 400 pain before I realized that I was being completely fried by radiation. I crawled back to my truck in slow motion, but when I got there, there was a fungloid in my driver seat. The noise attracted more fungloids and I was quickly surrounded.
The fungloids spent 30 minutes beating the tar out of me before I killed all 7 of them. My legs weren’t working so well after that, on account of the fungloids liquifying them. I spent 4 days recovering from that encounter at my cabin.
Oh, and the character is illiterate and this was on a version before leg splints worked. 0.7 came out before I could get him killed.
