Group Project "Reach the large settlement" Objectives
The main body of the duststorm hit the wrecked convoy hard, the winds whipping around the burnt out vehicles, tearing pieces of their metal corpses off and sending them spinning through the air. For a few moments the only thing that could be heard was the whirling screams of the winds, and the dust carried with it cut visibility down to only a few meters, but suddenly the first of the raiders' vehicles burst into the relatively calm area between its destroyed brethren.
The trike seemed to have been specifically modified to move through the storm, with an armoured shell sheltering the driver and heavy girders strapped to the sides weighing it down against the high speed winds buffeting around it. As it passed by the ambush site a passenger tossed flares at each of the vehicle carcasses, marking them for possible salvage before the trike moved off on its way down the broken highway.
More headlights shone in the distance and it would only be a matter of seconds before the rest of the raiding party moved into view, and as the armoured trike rolled closer to Sawbones and Kalahan all Rex could do was hunker down and watch the headlights weaving around inside the dust cloud, his gun ready should it be needed.

@Cu Chulainn It's nice of them to hide that small detail on page 125 of the Player's Handbook, rather than putting it with the rest of the information. Thanks for pointing it out.
It's normally better to go with the standard items rather than rolling for starting wealth, since using the example above (Rogue Entertainer) you can get between 91 and 162gps' worth of items of your choice from the limited selection, rather than making a roll and getting a random amount of gps between 40 and 160 and having a larger selection to choose from.
There's certain tricks you can pull as well, at the DM's discretion. Such as the Rogue choosing to take a shortbow and a rapier from the standard items (both costing 25gp each) and then selling both of them at half their standard value (Player's Handbook, page 144 - Selling Treasures) and then buying two shortswords (10gp each.) This means you end up with an extra 5gp overall at the start of the campaign.
Similarly, an Entertainer can choose a Lute as their starting musical instrument (35gp each) and then sell it and buy a Flute (2gp each) instead, gaining them an additional 15gp.

@olcharlieboi@JELDare I'm deliberately keeping quiet at this point to give you guys a chance to interact while Temper's washing up, since I take it no-one here's interested in what teenaged girls get up to in the shower.
