Professor Thaum Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) My name is Oliver Thaum, practitionner, apothecary, and man of science. Proud and loyal subject of Her Royal Majesty, the Queen Annetta. I make my life on the seas until everything's gone bad in 607 AE : our caravel which was heading south of Tiberia cut across the road of an Oleonese Brigantine. We were broad reach and the brigantine close-hauled so the 2 ships only shoot a carronade planking at each other and continue. Unfortunately, one of the cannonball take off the captain's right arm... He was moved quickly in my on board dispensary by a cadet officer driven insane by the row and suffering a nervous breakdown. With his blunderbuss he order me to severe the left arm of the captain to save his life... Impossible to speak with a mad man with a gun So after a shot right near my left hear I severed the second arm and stitched up the two injuries of the captain... who was very angry when he came round... I was beached and marooned on a tiny sandbank, with only a bad little sword, on which I may set myself upon if I don't want to die starving... But there was two lovely wild sugar cane and a bunch of palm trees, on the sandbank. I only survive sucking one of the sugar cane sap (I love it, I called it Aglae, and it became my best friend) and cutting the other to make me some rope. then I cut off the palm trees to make me a raft. I took Aglae with me and we start travelling east  I even put my clothes off for making sails Finally I reached Nest of Thieves and start a new life... I've heard from the mad cadet officer... He was enlisted to the Juniper War far away of the royal navy, and went definitely mad at Hayden's Bluff's battle but get the rank of captain. He even decide to go back to the sea...      Edited January 19, 2018 by Professor Thaum Quote

blackdeathgr Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Welcome on board and a very funny way to enter BoBS! Regarding the moc, I particularly like the inventive way Professor made the raft (green plates illustrating the "ropes", the palm trees that got cut down and Professor's clothes acting as sails).

Bregir Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 I will echo the welcome of the others and add that I too like the whole story, depicted so very well. I like the building of the raft, and the use of his clothes. All in all good details! Quote
