The Unexpected Treasure

Recommended Posts

Sometimes you'll never know what lies hidden beneath the desert sea of Egypt.

A group of explorers and hunters are searching for egyptian treasure in the unknown charts of the desert that could be hidden under the immence pressure of sand below. Doctor Martin and his daughter are leading the expedition in search for the Lost Tomb of Pharozar. He also hired a team of hunters to safeguard them to their destination.

A huge storm takes off, and a golden point is revealed from the layers of sand. With luck in their sights, the team rushes to the site and begins to dig in hopes for vast riches and archaeological discoveries. Or will they find a curse instead?

Leading Hunter: "Why don't you be of some to use Doctor Bob and help us dig? After all, I don't believe YOU are paying me and my buddies?"

Doctor Martin suggests that the golden point is actually the very tip of an obelisk.

The digging would take at least several weeks to complete, as the team were already hard at work.

"Why are you taking your time? You think we're on a vacation? Dig faster!"

Finally a clearing is made and the entire obelisk is dug out. But something lies hidden beneath that holds something unexpected and terrible for our hunters.

As the team unearths the tomb, skeletal remains appear from the sand.

Right at the foot of the stone, there was large stone tablet blocking access to the tomb. But they had to move quickly for the sun was going down.

As the team were investigating the tomb, Doctor Martin analyzes the bones.

The hunters emerged from the tomb, furious that they couldn't find anything of value. But Martin was still focused on the skeletal remains.

Doctor Martin said: "This must be a clue to the secrets of Pharozar!" But the others were skeptical and were about to leave. However...

Little do they know of what lurks behind as a monster looms over them. Having been abruptly awoken by the hunters, Mummified Raptors are forced out of their slumber, now hungery for fresh "flesh".

Uh-oh, poor Bob... and everyone else. The End.

I combined two themes. Pharaoh's Quest and Dino Attack. Enjoy.

Aha I love the abrupt end^^

I like your story-telling and how you build the hole in the sand little by little. The 8-bit SNOT obelisk is very nice.

Good job, Stormbringer!

Wow, that's a pretty massive excavation for a bunch of guys using only shovels!

A strange mix but a great MOC nonetheless! I just wish we could see what is in that tomb!

Yeah, I like the raptor, too. The only downside that I can find is the pillar seems lacking detail. Still an impressive moc though :wub:

A very entertaining series of MOCs Stormbringer! I love the sequence of the builds, it must've taken you some time to complete this with all the building and taking photos in between. A great story from start to finish, excellent work once again! :thumbup:

I love the brick-built raptor that you used! This is a great little story you have made yourself. Is that a red grape vine that you used for flesh?

They're cherries that are bunched together to look like guts. Yummy!
