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 SCOUTS, are here from The United Empire, in order to learn more about the military of the Gurkhani Empire. Their technology, strengths, weaknesses, and any political alliances in the region. Maybe even to soften them up a bit if you can!

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...

Um. An explosive. And... Somewhere was dug out for it's resources. They... usually go together, I think...

We have to 'improve the camp'. I have built a house out of those colourful children's building bricks with Alya. Is this similar?

[ballpoint]

Yes!

Ah... if there's dynamite and a quarry, we should put it to use. ...But, um. We should probably... ask those villagers before blowing anything up.

[neverendingstory]

Is it theirs?

[ballpoint]

I think so.

[neverendingstory]

I am not good at speaking with humans.

[culpa]

Wait, we're exploding stuff?

[ballpoint]

--No, Alya. Not yet.

[neverendingstory]

...Explosions seem unwise.

[culpa]

...maybe we should trade some of our tools for other stuff? Like food?

[ballpoint]

...But the dynamite seems...

[neverendingstory]

Eating is important.

But there is plenty of food in places like this.

[culpa]

We can use our tools to help the village?

[ballpoint]

--They wouldn't give us dynamite if...

[neverendingstory]

We can blow things up for the village.

[culpa]

And then we'll become friends!

[neverendingstory]

Friendship.

[ballpoint]

Friendship!

[neverendingstory]

Is that our plan, then? Destroy things for them in exchange for food and friendship?

[culpa]

Yeah!!

[ballpoint]

...Asking first. Ehh-- What if there's something important in the quarry...

We could ask them "We'll get you resources from the quarry, if"...
