Post Apoc Desert Waste Encounters

Recently I did a beach/coast based post so the other big hole in desert wastes which are most of Australia now and growing daily. I'd love to see Ark2 crew above meet planet of the apes and solve all ape vs human problems in 22 minutes.

Game last night. Players include a 2-h gun-fu mutant fighter and a cockatoo abhuman martial artist and competent with any weapon mostly shotguns and his bodyguard modded sexbot. One great moment was characters in a buried foyer with stairs going up and three elevators with crucified bodies near them. Crept close to see if alive and out of centre lift doorway stepped a creepy moaning long-limbed mutant. Cockatoo threw a grenade into the liftshaft and it bounced back through the party and about 9m. Cockatoo jumped into the lift shaft for cover and glided down into a shark-filled pit. Gunman got some shrapnel and was prone and got attacked by the wounded creature. Party now going on 5th level and have lots of guns including grenades, an SMG and a fancy folding assault rifle. Also found a good old 7d6 laser rifle which the party boss will want if known about. Wondering if we can shoot through lots of weak people in a line. Was a lovely moment when someone sneaked up on a fountain and a crock grabbed them and death rolled them, then the people who came to help ran through giant frog ambush areas.

Anyway here are tables I need for people who try the more inland desert roads instead of away from them. One day will do some stuff on life on southern seas and Antarctica and stuff you might find there on the surface or below. Possibly this will fit in with my Flooded Adelaide.
