EPONA + DAWON

[soulping]

Welcome to Jambudvipa!

Well, specifically, Gangaridai, a jungle region in the easternmost part of the subcontinent of Jambudvipa, which is currently under the rule of the semi-native Gurkhani Empire. It's a ~*strange and mystical land*~...well, at least to all of you.

You, the RESEARCHERS, are here from The United Empire, in order to explore new lands and go where no man has gone before! Your goal is to learn as much as is possible about the flora, fauna, and culture of this place, and maybe even convince the Gurkhani emperor to allow you to stay in his court!

The trials that await you and how you handle them will determine the fate of the region, and perhaps the entire nation, in the years to come...

RULES

[soulping]

The rules of this game are simple! You will be presented with a series of scenarios, and the goal is to accomplish them in such a way that it furthers your group's goal, to the best of your ability! In order to aid you in this, you have a SPECIAL ABILITY that you can use once during the game!

RESEARCHERS - Can receive DETAILED INFORMATION about up to three subjects in a round.

ROUND ONE

[soulping]

Landfall!

You are, of course, not the first foreigners to arrive on these shores. The United Empire has sent several ships and advance parties already, but the Gurkhani have been less than accepting of them. This time, however, it'll be different.

You've already commandeered an old base camp at the edge of the jungle, and the ship you came on has a wide array of carpentry, mining (including a few sticks of dynamite!), and construction tools, but very little supplies. There's a quarry not too far away, even.

You need to set to work improving the camp to defend it in case you are attacked. Currently, a few natives from a nearby village are watching you and your crew as you prepare.

Re: DISCUSSION

[bloodbiter]

We should attempt to make friends with these people. Maybe they will help us.

Re: DISCUSSION

[acemedium]

[Glancing off the side, but]

Oh! You think so?

Re: DISCUSSION

[bloodbiter]

Yes. We should begin to search for supplies and construct somewhere to live, too, as well as locate food.

Re: DISCUSSION

[acemedium]

We can make friends with them... maybe if we help them out, they can help us, too?

Re: DISCUSSION

[dirtdevil]

What if we go over there to make friends and they stab us?

Re: DISCUSSION

[bloodbiter]

Yes. We could give them some supplies in exchange for showing us how to forage and build shelter.

Re: DISCUSSION

[acemedium]

We invite them over and... research them if they try anything funny?!

Re: DISCUSSION

[acemedium]

Mushy says we should be careful in case they want to get stabby with it....

Re: DISCUSSION

[bloodbiter]

Do you think they would do that?

Re: DISCUSSION

[acemedium]

Well, this is Nafuna we're talking about.... I bet grass would kill us if it had the chance.

Re: DISCUSSION

[bloodbiter]

That's fair, but I think to some extent her games are left up to random chance. There's no way to know what will happen until we do it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[acemedium]

Maybe we could invite them over instead of going up to meet them...?

Re: DISCUSSION

[bloodbiter]

Mm, that's a good idea. It's less outgoing, but also less invasive. I'm fine with that.

Re: DISCUSSION

[acemedium]

And if they try anything funny... we research them!

Re: DISCUSSION

[bloodbiter]

[laughs]

It looks like there's an option to take any actions we deem necessary before we decide what to do. Let's look around for what food there is and materials to build shelter.

Re: DISCUSSION

[acemedium]

Okay, we could do that..... And maybe say hi?

Re: DISCUSSION

[bloodbiter]

If you think it would be safe.

Re: DISCUSSION

[acemedium]

Maybe... talk to one of them? In the process?

Re: DISCUSSION

[bloodbiter]

Alright. I will do so.

Re: ACTIONS

[bloodbiter]

Looking around for what kind of food is available, and what materials to build shelter with! If there's a native on the way, striking up a friendly conversation.
