Tezclatipoca Posted July 11, 2016 Father Tholeau and the Midas curse During the exploration to find the fountain of youth, Felipe de la Manzana and his team found a strange book near the floating rocks. Here is what they learned reading it : "I am cursed... I will probably die soon, so here is my last words. If I don't find the Fountain of youth, I will never be able to cure me from the terrible curse Hades priests cast upon me. I had to flee from the ship I was because the crew began to be worry as the first symptoms of the curse appeared. First, it was just pain in my right arm, then my hand became solid gold and became un usable. I had to flee... I landed in a desert island and it appeared it was not the good one. I thought I was closer to the island of the Fountain... After crafting me a small fortune skiff, I managed to reach the next island. It wasn't so far, finally... It appeared I was wrong again, this island was mangrove and swamps. I had to escape from alligators' attacks. At last, I think I found it ! This is probably the good island. Those strange rocks seemed to protect the access to the Fountain ! Let's hope I can reach it... Now, all my right side is contamined by the curse. I have to walk with an help... I am cursed... This is the Midas curse, and the only way to cure it is to drink the Fountain waters. Father Tholeau." This was probably the last words of Father Tholeau. Hope you enjoyed it. I made many little fun builds for this Challenge. As always, C&Cs are welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elostirion Posted July 11, 2016 Superb! Those small builds are fabulous, and so consistent! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayrlego Posted July 12, 2016 Great serious of vignettes Faladrin! The scene where Father Tholeau is washed up is my favourite, everything is done well, the sand, the waves and the debris. Great entry! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TitusV Posted July 17, 2016 Great story, and your vignettes are even better! Your jungle scenes are great, and I love the ship-interior Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzy MacFuzz Posted July 19, 2016 Great story, I loved the curse idea. And a lovely series of builds, especially the last one which is very clever. Just one thing I don't understand though; if he found the fountain, how come he died at the end? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bregir Posted July 20, 2016 Great vignettes, Faladrin. My favorite is the inverted slopes used for a ship. Would be cool to see a whole ship built that way! Nice story too. I wonder if a treasure hunt will start to find his now probably golden corpse? ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
