Nappendixia Campaign 3.0- Session 108 Gamma World

 


Nappendixia Campaign Session Report



Session #-  108 Session Date-  9/25/25



Time Passed-  1 day (time froze at end)



Roll Call-  Johnny Mothra-  level 2 Mutant Human of the Puma Clan.  He is also a massively tall and winged mutant who can glide and leap above the forest canopy of his homeland.  He places his shots in the perfect spot, but has a huge metabolism and is always hungry.


Clint-  level 2 Mutant Human of the Turtle Clan.  Though he can pass as a pure human, Clint has the hidden powers of telekinesis and a heightened sense of smell.  However, he must be very careful to avoid cuts and wounds.  He has become quite skillful with his hi-tech Vibro-Blade.


 Cursed- level 2 Pure Strain Human of the Ox Clan.  He is very charismatic but extremely clumsy.  He’s armed with the double barrelled shotgun the party recently acquired.


Adventure Log-  After a brief respite in the farmhouse and the drinking of some of the healing egg sac fluid, the party heads back into the buggem tunnels in search of the captured Genser family.  This time they endeavor to use stealth, using the cloaking device they can conceal 3 party members and try to search the tunnels undetected.  Lorno stays topside to guard the house and be a lookout while Clint, Cursed, and Johnny access the tunnels through the basement hole, choosing to not investigate the termite mound in the back field.  They sneak past the egg sac room, it seems to be as they left it.  Clint, in the front, steps out onto some section of the tunnel with a false floor made of hardened termite spittle.  He crashes through the brittle surface down into a pit covered with toxic spikes, gouged and wounded, they pull him out and spend several minutes snaking down some dead end tunnels only to return to the pit trap and carefully climb down into it, crack through the termite spittle on the other side and Johnny boosts them up into a chamber beyond containing an angry Herp embryo, a vile creature resembling a soft shell crab.  It spits a gout of acid at them before the party dispatches it.  They search through more twisting tunnels and nearly fall into some hidden drainage ditches scattered throughout the complex to keep them from flooding.  They fight a beetle-like creature in one chamber, and come across a guard room with three buggems, one of whom has a crossbow with poison bolts.  Johnny is poisoned, but they all fight valiantly and slay the bugs.  Amongst the guard room are some alcoves containing crude weapons, some more poison crossbow bolts and the crossbow, a level III Id card and a laser pistol that Clint is untrusting of.  Finally they get to a chamber of some significance.  A very large buggem is guarding a room with its opening nearly completely blocked by a large boulder.  Clint tries his other laser pistol he had found earlier, but it nearly explodes in his hand, injuring him, so cursed blasts it with the shotgun.  In its death throes it releases a cloud of gas, but the party avoids it.  They have just enough strength to roll aside the boulder, and behind it is 6 prisoners, half starved, and exhausted.  They are all adults-  The Gebbens family Ma and Pa, and 4 of their cousins from Horn who had come down to try to rescue them and got captured themselves.  In their wandering of the tunnels, the party had found a tunnel that snakes about a kilometer away from the farm and back to the surface.  They give the prisoners some water, and a few weapons and lead them to the exit tunnel, promising to continue trying to find the children.  They start making their way east, feeling like that will get them to the area of the termite mound on the surface.  After some progress they see daylight coming from an adjacent chamber.  They try to move past the open mound to search some tunnels beyond, but they are surprised by a large purple beetle with sword-like antennae, and spitting barbs.  It really roughs up the party, nearly killing Johnny, but they take it down and hastily climb out of the termite mound and find refuge back in the farmhouse, just as the prisoners are making their way back also.  They all hole up in the second story of the farmhouse, rest, take the remaining egg sac healing juice, and try to give some aid to two of the prisoners who seem like they may be fit to go back into the tunnels to help rescue the kids.  



Session Notes-   Not alot to say notes-wise other than Gamma World continues to be fun and loose and easy to run.  It’s great because it requires very little prep. I'm just cobbling some things together from some of the old modules, and using the random tables and throwing in some stuff I’ve absorbed from Hiero’s Journey and Starman’s Son.  I was rolling really well this session and the players chewed through a lot of HP, that’s just the way the dice roll sometimes. I was rolling all the rolls on cam on the discord so it just is what it is.  Dice abide.



Treasure and XP-  Monsters- Herp Embryo, Beetle, 3x Buggems, Big Buggem, Parn- 190xp.  Treasure- Anti-Rad Serum 100, lvl III ID card 600, Laser Pistol 1000= 1890xp/ 3 PCs= 630xp each.



Graveyard-  Crash Test Dummy Android- irradiated by a fusion rifle in the forest ruins complex. (session 103)


Lorno-  Brought to Death’s Door by the Horl Choo’s poison in the forest ruins, saved when the party found the first aid kit.  (session 104)


Johnny Mothra-  brought to Death’s Door by the vicious Parn in the termite hole at the Genser farm.  (session 108)
