Retech

Jen tries to tend to it by watering it with enchanted water, so that it would be healed by the properties of the water.

Well maybe with research, you could figure out a way to change the substance in the explosive to a different substance which is denser, and when you remove or add something, it converts into explosive and blows up?

Jen exits the dungeon and returns to her home (waiting for Grim before I go any farther). She looks around the top of her mountain for a tree of decent quality, like a Yew or Maple tree, or perhaps some bamboo.

Well you could cool air or liquids to make them denser. Does that work for solids?

Japan replies that South Korea was a core part of the Federation, and that it is not further expansion. Then they note that Australia isn't exactly doing what they're reputation is: saving civilians, when South Koreans are being killed by their Northern oppressors.

Archi, you are aware that the North doesn't exactly like the South, and vice versa. Don't you think there would be some problems there, with one occupying the other? I seem to have more trouble with Madagascar than the North Koreans do with the South Koreans. Then you note that North Korea is COMMUNIST and South Korea is CAPITALIST, and that they're still technically at war. South Korea has millions of anti-North people in it. How does North Korea take control so easily? Japan asks Russia and China to put pressure on North Korea to return South Korea, since Russia and China are the closest allies that North Korea has.

-Hum dee dum-

The whole point was that I was flattering the guy so that he releases South Korea. North Korea isn't exactly that good, with the sky high poverty rates and such. Couldn't think of anything to say for him to release South Korea. So anyways, do I get South Korea back from the North Koreans? If the North Koreans merge with South Korea to become Korea, I'm going to have to try to get Korea, if South Korea won't come by itself.

A Japanese high-ranking official makes an impassioned plea to the new leader of North Korea (his father died in 2009, so I guess he's sorta old, but you get my point). "Please release South Korea back into the hands of their own people. I offer you the chance to join the Federation, a collection of Asiatic states commited to each other's protection. We will fight as one, we will live in harmony, and we will be prosperous as one. Your name will be remembered as the man who brought prosperity to his people, a truly great leader and a wise person. If you cannot do this, then I ask again, please release South Korea. Embracing the world will allow you to be embraced in return. Embracing yourself leads nowhere." (Response Archi? Oh btw, is there a dungeoneering session today?)

Japan asks what the heck is going on, with this talk of world war and whatnot. Japan also asks if air cannons can hit ground targets. If they can't, then Japan is glad that someone finally has something to combat flying space debris, and sends congradulations to Turkey.

Oh yah, that reminds me. Islam is now the majority religion in the Federation, followed closely by Buddhism. Islam used to greatly outnumber Buddhism, but many Indonesians converted to Buddhism after moving to Japan. Efforts are being made to create great cities in Indonesia though, so that more talent in the worlds of finance and business can remain in Indonesia. Another place many Indonesians move to is Singapore, because of their booming exports industry. Mather, the point of using 1% of total GDP is that it's easier to calculate, and it keeps people from throwing around even larger armies than there are today.

Luxembourg gets around 90,000 per person a year, and I think they're the richest per capita nation in the world. As a comparison, Japan is down near 34,000 I believe.

Scandinavia porpouses a shared research on Turritopsis Nutricola and hydras. Japan asks: What the heck are those?

Radio/Television/Blah blah blah ad Free trade and Independance are essential rights to a nation... But when you have a choice between your fellow brother in the Pacific, or a colonial power in Europe...who do you choose? Independance of nation is not true independance. Independance is the freedom to live your life the way you want to live it. Independance is the freedom from fear of another foreign power oppressing and hurting you. The Federation will provide you freedom to live your life. The Federation will protect you from a foreign power. Don't trust the Italians. If you become independant, they will stab you in the back. They will invade you and oppress you, like in Algeria, and Libya. We will protect you. There are only two choices. Do you prefer the way you lived before, helped by your friends, or do you vote for the Italians?

The Federation (including some organizations of Indonesians living in Japan, who would be threatened if Indonesia broke off) spreads a small amount of propaganda about how the Federal Union and Free Trade parties share many common ideas. They are both in some way Pro-Japanese, they both support trade (since the Federation did start out as a trading organization, like the Hanseatic league). The Federation and several organizations note that in the Federation, there are government officials from all the nations in Federation, and that they still have just as much of a voice as they did when they were independant. The good of the Federation is the good of its members, and that's why, Japan points out, that all the other nations of the Federation scrambled to win back Indonesia and South Korea from the warmongering invaders. I will also change the name of the Federation, since it just so happens that the United States and Britain have a "Federation." Several Federation officials, many of them Indonesian, pledge to uphold the culture and well-being of all the nations in Federation, as part of their message and their constitution. ----- Several Indonesian organizations which were ousted to Japan after the Italian invasion point out that Italy invaded Indonesia, and that Japan and the other Federation nations were trying their very hardest to protect them. The UN may be trying to be unbiased, says the organizations, but in doing so, they ignore the fact that several nations tried to invade the Federation, using WMDs.

^ All I have to say is: Lol Night everyone! When do you think the session tomorrow will be? I know that things change, but is there a rough idea?

Errrr, I'm not even sure they have much left. However, I have to go in like 5 minutes, soooo.

Is your sword or axe made of something decent that can be imbued? I'd say Mystril+, or maybe it might have some gem inside it.

Of course. You might not want to rush out to attack though, since Grim and I are spellcasters, so we have a tendency to blow things up in front of us. You could help hold off meleers though.

Grim wanders into the room, followed by Jen, checking for traps. If there doesn't seem to be anything interesting, then they loot the skeleton corpses. Then they look for a door to continue into the dungeon.

I can't risk those skeletons though. Ross said you were already close to the limit, so they could turn on us and kill us at any time. :unsure: Otherwise, you can come.

Okies, I'll start during the next posting. Anything I should know (attacks, weapons, etc?) that I could use?

Jen pokes Grim in the back with the blunt end of her polemace to stop him from meditating. "Get up! We have some dungeon to finish!" Afterwards, Jen prepares a charge on her staff, and moves slightly out of the way of the boiling oil thing, incase it triggers and burns her again. (Would it be possible if you update during level ups? Levels don't come that often anymore, so it's a milestone. :P)

^ Skeletons are untrustworthy. They can escape your control and kill you. Maybe dismiss em before you come along? Now goblins (like Rocco has) seem pretty reliable.

You can go ahead and attack the skeletons I'm trying to attack. Ice and fire don't conflict in this case, so just blow up as many as you can. :P
