Captain Braunsfeld Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) (this topic started here) They started their descent towards the pyramid they had seen in the valley. The jungle was getting thicker with each step and the mercenaries were using their sabres to cut their way forward. "There must be some way out of here", Swash Buckler said to Ram Brandt. "So much confusion here." "And the yellow things that grow here, have a strange smell", Scarlett Pontellinova added. "They make me tired", Swash Buckler replied. "Weary. My weariness amazes me." Suddenly a clearing opened before them - with a single strange stone statue in the middle of the clearing, staring back at them. "What shall we do now?" Ram Brandt asked. "It is a pagan statue. Probably of evil nature", said Swash. "Something the Oleon guys would not want to see." "Hush. The thing is hearing every word we're saying. Just look at those ears!" "I am more worried about the teeth." "Let us not talk falsely now. Shall we blow it to pieces and move on?" Scarlett mused. "We should save our bombs for the time being. We do not know what lies ahead of us at the pyramid", Swash replied. "The thing does not seem to be in perfect shape. There are cracks here and there. So, let's give it a little push", Clara Brickinson suggested. "Just a little push ..." "... and we'll be smiling." The statue came down with a crash. "That was easy." "That should be a solution to the worries of the good old Oleon Church", Ram concluded with a smile. "And we saved our bombs." "Let us forget about this place until tomorrow", Clara added. "I am still feeling tired and strange. My toes are too numb to step", Swash added but the others were not really listening as they moved on. (to be continued) Spoiler The scene from above.

To me it is a small, furry jungle beast. And technically it is an animal I picked from my animal box... 9 hours ago, Ross Fisher said: Said the joker to the thief... You got it!

Keymonus Posted August 30, 2018 Nice little build, I'm not a great fan of the blue background but it looks great with those clouds. I like your idol and your use of jungle animals (ants, frogs, snake, orango and furry thing), but still I can't see the usual monkeys… probably something strange is happening somewhere!

I am a big fan of the blue sky - and also that background makes my photoshop work a lot easier! furry thing = skunk! 39 minutes ago, Fraunces said: I like the statue, for my entry I was trying all sorts of statue-builds and you rocked this one !
