BARGHEST

[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 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...

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!

SCOUTS - Can perform an intimidating (and deadly!) CALVARY CHARGE.

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

...I do not understand.

[ballpoint]

...I- I'm not sure if I do either.

[neverendingstory]

What is 'dynamite'? What is a quarry?

[ballpoint]

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

[neverendingstory]

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.
