While many Sea Rats had hired their services out to Mardier in their war against Eslandola, the faction as a whole remained swayed by dubloons, not politics. One such crew had been hired by one Sir Blake, an Eslandolian entrepreneur with grand designs for controlling the seas most feared beasts. He had the ship set sail for open waters, many leagues from the nearest island. Sir Blake had studied the effects of music upon animals and was convinced that he could summon and control a fearsome creature from the depths of the ocean the likes of which had only before been seen in nightmares. He began to play the organ and waited while the reverberations sank deep into the sea. After some time of playing he heard the cry go out "Sea beast spotted captain!" He rushed on deck and boasted proudly, "Now we shall watch as the beast attacks Eslandola's foes!" However, his boast was empty. Rather than command this creature, all Sir Blake had done was awaken and anger it. Following the source of the disturbance, the kraken proceeded to destroy the nuisance. Stunned by his failure, all Sir Blake could do was watch in terror as the crew hopeless tried to fight off the beast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kwatchi Posted March 27, 2017 Pretty awesome rendition, though that I lament that so many Sea Rats were harmed in the making of this MOC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garmadon Posted March 27, 2017 Hmm, and here I was going to put an organ in my next ship, I might have to rethink that... A neat beastie and story, quite a clever take on the category! I really like that ship as well - the dark red looks great, as do the hinged sides and lanterns, and the bow rails and sail on the bowsprit are some excellent sections too Keep it up (except you could build for Eslandola, you know )!
