Bodi Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) The court of Oleon, no, not the licensing court , the court of our king Philip, is following closely the situation on the Isle of Malto. Facing the turn of events, the gentlefoks of the court unanimously expressed their desire of providing assistance to the refugees of Malto. A more prolonged inaction should be harmful to the image of our glorious empire. We will mark our presence on sea and on land! A reception plan was approved, which consists of providing accomodation and transportation to Mardieran refugees. An old warship of la Royale was converted hurriedly in a troop refugees transport and set sail to Malto. The ship was commanded by on of best captains of our navy, capitaine Jacques Costaud. As a sign of our true goodwill, the ship is totally defenseless, the guns have been removed, except two swivel-guns. The only representatives of our armed force are the small scout team led by sergent Eric LaGaufre, their mission is to find the refugees and bring them to the ship. So, after several days spent on sea, Eric has landed on the Isle of Malto with his loyal companions (rectification at the last minute: the refugee transport did not landed in the vicinity of Malto port, seems this will cause some political issues, in fact, they landed in a small bay on the North West end of the island and continued through the Jungle). - We must find them, quick, to the jungle. A few hours later, a contingent of Mardierians appeared on the beach. Civilians and rear guards of the Mardieran army. - Nice haircut, officer! - Yep, the latest mode in town, explosive style. - Welcome on board, ladies. There's enough room for everyone, even the cat. - Okay, every on board, en route to Oleander colonies! Aaaand a brief description of the main characters: From left to right: Aresa, an amazon warrior; Eric LaGaufre, sergeant of Regiment de dragons du Roi; Motgris, a native warrior in the service of the King. Captain Salades, officer of the Mardieran rear guard, who lost most of his men in action. Capitaine Jacques Costaud, veteran of many battles and one of the finest seamen of Oleander navy. Thanks for viewing, c&c are welcome! PS: I took the photos early during the day but I was unable to post them any sooner, so, if there is any content in contradiction with the current development of the situation, just disregard it.

Brandon Stark Posted June 28, 2017 Good to see Oleon has begun to help the refugees from Malto. Let it be known that all refugees will be welcome in Blueton Colony. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Wolf Posted June 28, 2017 Congrats to Oleon slipping past the Corries to tender aid to the refugees. Eslandola thanks you for your humanitarian effort! As for the build, lovely ship! I love the general shape and period styling. The beach and dock are also well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I shall state that our ship did not land in Malto, but in the north west end of the island. The ship is an old one, the same I've posted in the moc forum a couple of months ago, slightly modified for this occasion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legostone Posted June 28, 2017 Great move! The ship is awesome, especially the Beak - makes it really look like an old Galleon! Looking forward to where this goes! But I wonder - what happened to the horses and the Ox? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tezclatipoca Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) Great to see Oleon in this business too ! You built a very good vessel ! my only critism on this ship is that it could be greater with just some custom sails and rigging. Such a vessel deserves great sails and needs some ropes here and there IMO. The Oleon vessel will not be alone around the area, as I was informed a MAESTRO Frigate is arriving soon (I had quite the same idea than you , my frigate is near to be ready !) Well, Oleon help is very welcome and I hope we can work all together to help the Malto inhabitants ! Good job ! Edited June 28, 2017 by Faladrin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Okay, they look happy, they wave at us and built us a thumbs-up. 2 hours ago, Faladrin said: Great to see Oleon in this business too !

Thank you for your kind comment and suggestion on the ship! I'm impatient to see your frigate. Edited June 28, 2017 by Bodi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The ship looks fairly defenseless to me. This fashion style should promote the development of gel industry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdeathgr Posted June 28, 2017 Aaaaaaand, that's how it is properly done! Averting humanitarian crises "by the book"! Gods bless Oleon! Great stuff Bodi, especially the ship! I liked that we love animals too. Cats, cows, horses, the occasional rat, you name it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I think we can optimistically consider the first voyage of our Malto Express as a sucess, except the three solidiers left behind accidentally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We will pick them up again in Malto Express version 2. There are lots more of those hardcore Mardierans that don't accept Eslandolan rule over the island.
