RAMBUNCTIOUS APOCALYPTIC OUTLAWS

The sequel to DISREPUTABLE WASTELAND WIZARDS!

Criminals, daredevils, dreamers, and fools. They stumble across the Blasted Lands high off of swagger and grandiose self-image, snorting compounds inimical to life, about to torch that town you built just for the hell of it. Or perhaps they're willing to cut you a deal... after all, what's really separating adventurers like you from outlaws like them?
Just a little restraint.

RECENTLY, THEY

1 killed off local trade due to constant, vicious raids driven by a constant, burning hunger for drugs.
2 accidentally declared war on a nearby Tribe by replacing an 1 with an 0 in an encrypted binary message.
3 stole a priceless encrypted puzzle cube from a group of furious Tech-Wardens.
4 swore themselves to the service of a twisted Spirit in exchange for eternal unlife.
5 threw the kind of raucous, exhilarating party that becomes the stuff of legend.
6 deposed, executed, and then skinned a former leader.
7 raided a village and collected all the villagers' teeth to try to lift a curse placed upon them by capricious Spirits.
8 recieved a prophecy of victory from a Whispering Oracle deep within the earth, and now are overconfident.

10 discovered the recipe for a new, innovative drug involving ground up human spleens.
11 constructed an organized crime ring based around the trading and selling of genetically clean organs.
12 gained the slight admiration of locals by deposing a tyrant and then being (slightly) less tyrannical.
13 all had a simultaneous and traumatizing nightmare that they refuse to discuss.
14 were slaughtered to a man, but lived on as hollow trope-echoes in the world's cultural memetic memory (therefore could be reasoned out of existence by 15 strong argument and evidence).
16 were caught in the blast of a Schrodinger-Bomb and now are simultaneously alive and dead.
17 were cursed by a Temporal Anomaly to repeat the same day over and over again.
18 hunted and killed a Virus Tamer, and then contracted a highly contagious, lethal plague.

14 a sinister snake-oil salesman who talked his way into the position.

17 a completely ordinary human who is, in fact, so ordinary that it's unsettling.
18 a boombox-headed Spirit-Speaker who speaks through drum'n'bass (underlings can barely understand, leads to many a hijink).
