*Yet another sign that many attempt the Death Road to Canada, and not very many make it.*

* [Low (less than 2) Wits Character]: Be philosophical

* [Highest Mechanical Character]: Dismantle car for parts
* Search car for loot
* Leave car alone

* *Whatever! Better them than me!*
* *Looks like we're FINALLY getting an answer to the BIG QUESTIONS!*
* *It's the circle of life and death... on the road of death.....*
* *If only these dinguses had a sweet belt buckle like me, they wouldn't have turned into skeletons!*
* *They probably were jerks or something, I don't know.*
* *I wonder if things would be better or worse if it was a skeleton apocalypse instead.*
