Danger! Toxic Waste!

Shelter Toxic Dump

Even the bravest hero will eventually fall - but they must never be forgotten.  Here at the Shelter's Toxic Dump we light a candle in memorial to the many casualties of the "Razing Arizona" campaign.  If you'd like to look upon a number of quotes (and in some cases last words) uttered by those stallwart folks I have the honor to call my posse, click on the barrel of toxic waste over to the left.

R.I.P. Emilio Lazardo Doomsayer 10/98 (played by Rick)

R.I.P. Mortus Doomsayer 9/98 (played by Rick)

R.I.P. Leonard Shitebag Junker 10/98 (played by Darrin)

Mortus, a C.o.T.A., Was a mutie gang's idea of prey. He put up a good fight, But by the end of the night, The top of his head went away.

Emilio wore purple (true). But was unknown by the group (he was new). Identity mistaken, Hasty action was taken - And up the whole posse he blew. (and thus went Rick's Doomsayer II)

A Junker named Leonard once tried To fix a bomb he'd been supplied. But a Doomsayer's frustration, Too near his location, Made more than his circuits be fried.

R.I.P. Tina Louise Carter Syker 10/98 (played by Bob)

R.I.P. Cumba - Slayer of Evil Savage 10/98 (played by Chuck)

R.I.P. Thomas Matterhorn Scavenger 10/98 (played by Randy)

Tina's looks were no Syker trick. Her transparent skin made most sick. But "beauty" fades fast, When caught in the blast Of a blood-frenzied Doomsayer (Rick)

Cumba was a young savage who with  this group went 'round. With his spear, he nailed a Doomsayer's ear to the ground. He got no satisfaction From the Doomie's reaction. The result?  Nothing left of the posse was found.

A battered old scav name of Tom With his mule scrounged the wastes with aplomb. The mule was lost in a storm. Then the poor beat up norm Got caught twixt a Nuke and a bomb.

R.I.P. Robert Wentworth Syker 10/98 (played by Jesse)

R.I.P. Bartholomew Templar 10/98 (played by Chris)

R.I.P. Claude Journeyman Postman 2/99 (played by Bob)

Robert was a leader.  Well, at least he tried . But with this ragtag posse his hands were tied. Group cooperation T'weren't a big consideration. So the Doomie got attacked and they all died.

Claude was a "teller" who delivered the mail; Through rain, sleet and snow he was never to fail. Reducing fear, he told stories Of the group's former glories 'Til a Skinwalker ended his tale.

Bart was a knight with wanderlust, Who only fought for causes just. But just  because he Joined this posse, He's now radioactive dust.

R.I.P. Billy (the Kid) Doomsayer 2/99 (played by Randy)

R.I.P. Lecroix LeBleu Old Soldier 2/99 (played by Chuck)

R.I.P. Brother Ignatious Doomsayer 3/99 (played by Rick)

Lecroix was a veteran of the old SA, And he would often doubt what other people had to say. A "doubting thomas" through and through, He was mighty curious, too. And if he wasn't, well, he'd still be here today.

Though only a child, Bill could harness "the glow" (Which is dangerous knowledge for a young 'un to know) But there was no where to run From the automaton's gun And out his brief candle did blow.

Ignatious fought a critter the size of a tree To help a small ville called Prosperity. His "help"  slowed it down, But also blew up the town; The thing killed him before he could flee. (And thus went Rick's Doomsayer III.)

R.I.P. Chiun (Student of Shinanju) Enlightened Blessed Harrowed Martial Artist 10/99 (played by Darrin)

R.I.P. Danielle, "Dusty" Templar 11/99 (played by Bob)

R.I.P. Rastafarian Roach Syker 10/99 (played by Jesse)

Of Dusty theTemplar (it was heard to  be said), By bad luck and bad judgement was often misled. Climbing ladders in the dark, Her dropped sword left a mark. In "confusion" her posse (whoops!) blew off her head. (No body found; its still assumed that she is dead.)

The "Johnny Appleseed" of pot, Roach traveled the west Spreading 'round the seeds of the plant he loved the best But he found his Syker brain Couldn't take the hellish strain From a relic he could not "get off his chest".

Mighty Korean Fell into the Darkness, but Found the Light instead. (By Posse demand, a deliberately vague Haiku  for a frighteningly complex character. "May he one day reap what he has sown.") Want to know where Chiun's concept came from? Click Here.

R.I.P. Maxwell Junker 11/99 (played by Randy)

R.I.P. Night's Black Song (Blacky) Indian Brave 11/99 (played by Bob)

R.I.P. The Guardian Gunslinger and Eternal Hero 11/99 (played by Jesse)

Night's Black Song Said, "Spirit wrong" To shaman's ghost - Now he's toast. (Wasn't 'round long.) (*sing to the tune of "Hot Cross Buns"*)

The Guardian wandered the West far and near And fought against evil for many a year. A hero Eternal, Slain by "god" infernal. His legend lives though he's no longer here.

To Max, junk devices were fine works of art That he'd always build and tear back apart But his pistol and pack Couldn't stop the attack Of the fear that done "junked" his poor heart.

R.I.P. El Macho Grande Harrowed Mexican Professional Wrestler 4/00 (played by Bob)

R.I.P. Markus "the Maimed" Templar 4/00 (played by Randy)

R.I.P. Tanus Hekant Lector 4/00 (played by Jesse)

There once was a Templar, he Markus t'was named. To a spirit of vengeance his oath he proclaimed. But revenge and a sword, 'Gainst a Black Hatted Borg, Left much more than his countenance maimed.

El Macho Grande, El Macho Grande - Harrowed Mexi Wrestling Star! El Macho Grande, El Macho Grande - Blown to bits try to save bar! (*sing to the tune of "La Cucauracha"*)

Armored Tanus, a Lector, would ultimately give His own hekant life so his posse might live. He did well against Raptor And Black Hatted captors, But an Automaton made him leak like  a sieve.

R.I.P. Lt. Fran Schreder Syker 4/00 (played by CJ)

R.I.P. Johnny Fox Junker 4/00 (played by Bob)

Way down in Arizona, south of old Lake Meade Way far out in the desert where the buzzards feed In a little ville called Wickenburg Was a young Junker who was quite absurd Never had no sense, though in music well read He could play a guitar...but now he is dead Oh no! There Johnny goes!  Oh no! There Johnny goes!  Oh no!  There Johnny goes! Oh no! There Johnny goes!  Oh no! Johnny B. Dead. (*sing to the tune of "Johnny B. Goode"*)

Fran Schreder, a Syker from Faraway, Had a voice that kept most folks at bay. Drugs made her a mess. With Arson?  Obsessed. A Junker turned her brains to whey. (Killed by a "Red Shirt Throw Away")

R.I.P. Stan Polk Renegade Black Hat 4/00 (played by Bob)

R.I.P. John Kelly Harrowed Law Dog 4/00 (played by Darrin)

R.I.P. "Hell" Syker 4/00 (played by Jesse)

Renegade Black Hat - that was old Stan Polk. Had a wish for death unlike most smart folk. Got his wish - now he's dead, 'Cause a worm crushed his head - Sucked his brains down like egg yolk. He's a "Red Shirt" after all! He's a "Dead Shirt" after all! Wandered off and took the fall! He's a "Red Shirt" after all! (*sing to the tune of "It's a Small, Small World"*)

Kelly, harrowed Texas Ranger man - Never ever from great danger ran - Trickshot expert, Guardian's friend- Torn apart by wormlings in the end. (sing to the tune of the "William Tell Overture" a.k.a. The Lone Ranger Theme*)

Firewalker Syker Biker: "Hell" on wheels Made an Apostate for what he feels Kelly's deputy (was the plan) Killed by Wormlings (bummer, man).

R.I.P. Dalton Warlock 5/00 (played by C.J.)

R.I.P. Jacque LeQuoisse Anti-Templar 5/00 (played by Bob)

R.I.P. Wing-Lo Blessed Martial Artist 5/00 (played by Bob)

Dalton was a Warlock He liked to cut off heads Clean off all the fleshy stuff And toss 'em round instead But then he went to Dempsyland And played around with clowns Where a mean 'ol big bad wolfie Went and blew his ass on down

Oh, Anti-Templar from Canada did roam Killed by a wolf-thing so very far from home Wore parkas in the desert (eh?) had Nimbleness of stone Oh, Anti-Templar "Aboot two weeks an' yer doon"! (*sing to the tune of "Oh Canada"*)

Wing-Lo, Bless'd Martial Artist Wouldn't trust another damn soul Wing-Lo, Bless'd Martial Artist Two weeks and Bob had to re-roll (*sing to the tune of "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot"*)

R.I.P. Ursula "Entertainer" 1/01 (played by Bob)

R.I.P. Fallon Doomsayer 1/01 (played by Randy)

She was a "Private Dancer" Hooker for Hire Though she had "a Heart of Gold" She was a whole lotta woman Size seven prancer She hulked out and now that heart's cold. (*sing to the chorus of "Private Dancer"*)

Another one of Joan's crew, Fallon liked to fight And he fought against "The Wall of Reason" Every Sinday night But in a narrow crawlway 'Gainst a Syker sqaud did tumble And after trading several blows More than his wall did crumble.
