The Sarge Posted April 17, 2020 For two days Jacques had followed the rotten trail. Hacking through brush, dodging Lotii and Carno patrols alike, he had pushed on in search of the thing that made this island so valuable. Finally, he came upon a hot spring, smelling of rotten eggs, crackling and burbling a noisy yellow. The plants nearest the spring were dead or dying, and noxious fumes rose above it, but coated on the rocks was trace amounts of what it brought up from deep below. Sulphur! A rare element back home, but vital for the production of gunpowder. And the island was supposed to hold large amounts. Here was the confirmation he needed! Jacques slipped away to report back to the fort.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legonaut Posted April 17, 2020 Interesting Idea with that good from the earth that is not Just Gold or Silver. Also cool use of that Torso! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beleg the Ranger Posted April 18, 2020 Interesting! As @Legonaut has said, it is nice to see something different than gold and silver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Khorne Posted April 18, 2020 Neat little build! Like Legonaut said, it is interesting to see other treasure than gold, silver or gems. The sulphur pit is well made and like with blackdeathgr's cenote, I like how you used the ice cream pieces as fumes. The minifig is great, too. He really looks like an explorer or frontiersman.

Keymonus Posted April 18, 2020 As an old supporter of brimstone extraction in Astrapi , I'm a great fan of your build! Nice idea and use of parts, in particular the trans yellow tiles! BTW, is it ok if I add your exploration to the notable events of Fort Arltrees? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
merc Posted April 18, 2020 I echo everyone else’s sentiments, it’s a nice build and uses an idea that is different than the usual gold, silver, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
