Episode XX :
blah blah blah ...
Urgh.... Where am I...? What happened ... ?
<Captain Asoka> By the powers! Get a grab on thyself Narrator!! Ye got a job to do there!!
<Narrator> But I can't remember anything!
<Captain Asoka> Ye be recovering from bad episode of Spam! This be normal reaction to intracranial traumatism! But worry not, recovery be coming quickly enough matey!
<Sailor> Wait! Captain, who be this lily-livered lubber? Me though the narrator was you?
<Captain Asoka> Well, Indeed I am the narrator! Which means he's me, the narrator! But I, Asoka, is not him!
<Sailor> Uhhh... But If he be you, then why you no be him also?
<Captain Asoka> Because I have not the power of being myself and someone else simultaneously at the moment. This can only be happening when I be totally myself, which be not the case right now!
<Sailor>
<Captain Asoka> Just get a drop of me favorite liquor, will make ye dance on the deck like an upstart wench!
<Sailor> *gulp* *gulp* *Smack!* Urrghh!!
<Captain Asoka> Not ye Drunkard!
<Narrator> *gulp* *gulp* *gulp* *cough* AAAaaaRgHHH!!! What is this crap!!! Tastes like this stuff could strip the tar right off the deck!! AACK!!!
<Captain Asoka> AAArrrr!! Welcome back matey!! Now go tell them a story!!
<Narrator> Hello everyone!! Welcome back to RandomSpam! Eeerrr... I mean RandomLand! The place where delusional behavior and serious psychiatric issues are shrugged off as the expression of one's artistic side! Hmmm... Peanut! *yum*
In this episode, we salute the courage of our sea bound settlers and we learn mineralogy with some random barb archer! But more importantly, we meet a new buddy and the family grows bigger!! YAAYYYYYY!!!
Here's what happened:
We concluded the previous episode with an in-depth analysis of how piracy made the world a better place. Not that the world is really much of a better place if truth be told, but it certainly looks like it when we look at our treasury!
Anyway, booty aside, there are still many things to discover in RandomLand! We just used one of our awesome scholars to found a new scientific academy in Istanbul! Suleiman would be proud of us!! Now if only we had kept his body around...
With a bit of luck those new scientific institutions will help us eventually understand what caused the mysterious natural phenomenon of
barbarian galley? In the meantime, one of our scout on a Horse! witnessed another strange manifestation of nature. Ice archers!
If the ice archers are discovering Iron, it probably means we need to go one step further, hence; STEEL!!!
<Captain Asoka> So we finally invented metal!!!
<Great scientist> Nope,
Chuck Testa. Industrial era
Hearing all the recent fuss about iron, metal and stuff. Mansa thinks that maybe we want more iron, very insightful but we already have plenty of it. And we like him just fine without horses! I mean, for his own safety!
Alright, now lets finish that water campaign once and for all... We settle the island west of Mini Randomland. It really is a pretty place, even though the waters at the east are very Gilgic.
Then we found the settlement of Sravasti!
Sravasti is really an awesome place! There is water... Also there is a lot of ice! ..And well, some tundra!! But more importantly we discover... CRABS!
<Captain Asoka> What be those little Pinchy cuties!!
*snap!*
<Captain Asoka> Ow!!
<Captain Asoka> Ye little bandit!
*Crab! stands ground defiantly*
<Captain Asoka> So ye like much to pinch Captain Asoka's finger?!
<Crab!> *snap!* *snap!*
<Captain Asoka> Arrr!! This be very cute! Me thinks to wanna adopt ye! What'ye say matey?
And this is how the Crabs! became part of the family. Unlike fishies! and clams!, Crabs! are a pretty cool bunch. For instance they walk by strafing, which means that they are always looking forward even when they are not walking straight!
Well, the glory days of the indian lumberjacks are long gone, but for the newly settled island of "Mowthatjungle", we'll have to call them back!
And now, wait... What?! That was 10 landmasses already? Time for TEH SURPRISE!!!
Establish your religion in a number of your cities!! For the sake of boredomlessness! Looks like we wont have to send there all those missionaries!! The powers above took charge of everything!!
<Asoka> Wow I conquered the seas utterly!!! Well, that was a great deal of fun while it lasted, now lets go back on land, I have nations to wreck!
*Asoka throws pirate hat and eye patch aside*
And so for the first time in a very long time Asoka went shorebound! Upon walking the land of Cows! once more he was quoted for saying: "Holy crap! This place is rocking all over the place!"
After a little while, Asoka got better and decided he wanted to break stuff. What better way to start the hostilities than with the capture of what is believed to be the very LAST barbarian city in RandomLand!! Screw any anthropological knowledge or precious cultural treasures they may have, we want their gold and women!! RAZE EVERYTHING!!! ( I claim a Cortez award for this! )
Also, we are just done researching Steam power!! Which means we are just about ready to SteamRoll something!
Well, don't get me wrong here, I like Gilgy, but it was brought to our attention that Gilgy had somehow become an atheist. Yes, he is no longer a Buddhist!! This means that Isabella wont really mind if something happened to him!
<Asoka> Hey what's up Gilgy! Are you up for a little chat?
<Gilgy> How many times do I have to tell you! My name is Gilgamesh!
<Asoka> Sorry Gilgy but... well... I need to tell you something. You know all those pirate attacks..
<Gilgy> Aargh! Those damned pirates! If only i knew where they are from!! They would all die!!
<Asoka> Well... It was us!
<Gilgy> WHAAT!!!!
<Gilgy> How did you dare!! Wait til Isabella learns about it!!
<Asoka> You plan to tell her? I don't mean to sound nasty but she will probably just slap you... A heathen atheist like you, talking against a pious Buddhist like me? ... I mean... really?
<Gilgy> AAAaaaRgHHH!!! THAT'S IT!!! PREPARE FOR WAR!!!
<Asoka> Im pretty much prepared already, here, meet my new friend! He's called Stack of doom!
<SOD> Hello!
<Gilgy>
<Asoka> Don't be sad Gilgy, its your money at work!
<Gilgy> AAAaaaRgHHH!!
<Asoka> Anyway, It was nice knowing you Gilgy, bye.
