Captain Braunsfeld Posted July 14, 2017 [The Secret of the 8 Provinces - Prelude] [The Secret of the 8 Provinces - 1st Chapter] The Secret of the 8 Provinces - 2nd Chapter The Secret of the 8 Provinces - 3rd Chapter The Secret of the 8 Provinces - 4th Chapter The Secret of the 8 Provinces - 5th Chapter The Secret of the 8 Provinces - 6th Chapter The Secret of the 8 Provinces - 7th Chapter The Secret of the 8 Provinces - 8th Chapter (yes, this is where you are) Captain Cookie continued: At first it seemed that nobody had survived. But then there was a tiny figure amidst the fury of the wild ocean, holding on to an oar. Just one? Lady de Summer asked. Who was the survivor? The first mate, Mr. Errol. Although badly injured he managed to stay afloat and alive. Spoiler Other reports say that no monkey was hurt when the ship sank. It is all a matter of perspective. What happened to Mr. Errol? Well, he did make it to some small settlement on the nearby island. Some landlord took care of him and gave him a room where he could rest and try to recover from his injuries. Mr Errol claimed to have been on an Oleon fishing boat and that he was washed overboard by a huge wave during the storm. He did not say a single word about the "8 Provinces" as he felt he could trust noone. His recovery, sadly, came to a halt and his condition got worse. Mr Errol began to see that he would meet his fate there and then. Having been an excellent carver and craftsman he asked for knives, wood and stuff - and he started to create the three models of the "8 Provinces", each in a different colour. I don't know how and where he got hold of the three different maps but he managed to hide them inside the small ships. Apparently he planned to send the model ships to his three brothers, but that could only be assumed as he died from yellow fever before he could ship the ships. After the only human survivor had died, nobody knew what happened to the "8 Provinces". She was considered "lost at sea". She became a rumour, a myth, a goodnight-story for children. The subject of endless speculations of what had happened to her and her silver treasure. What happened to the three ships after Mr Errol had died? Lady de Summer asked. Well, the landlord sold them to cover for the funeral and his expenses. And the brown ship was purchased by a man called Granger Stewart. He was the Red Fandango's grandfather. Years later, the Red Fandango found the ship in the attic and discovered that there was a map. Maybe there was some other hint included that gave him the idea to search for the other two ships. Also there must have been some written account of what had happened to the "8 Provinces". And what did the Red Fandango do next? [to be continued] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(But does the monkey know where it is? ) That background looks great again, Captain, and the bits of wreck work nicely in the water! Very interesting story developments too!

Bodi Posted July 14, 2017 Great build as usual Captain! I love the brick-built background, monkey in the chest and Mr.Errol in the water, it's a pity he hasn't survived. And captain Cookie is always holding a cookie! Wise choice for Mr.Errol to keep the secret of 8-Provinces, we know some Oleon fishing boats are not just fishing boats.

Very interesting story developments too! Oh yes, the monkey knows where he is. Sergeant Broadsmile is on his way to Nova Terreli. He will be picked up by an Eslandolean fishing boat in just about 3 hours of time. But that is an entirely different story. 7 hours ago, Bodi said: Great build as usual Captain!

On the other hand, if he had survived and retrieved the treasure we would have no story Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
