CapOnBOBS Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) The Royal Survey of Stephanique continues on the windward dunes of Lavalette. Though by no means a desert isle, areas get quite windswept and the shifting dunes are commonly called "the desert" by the locals. In a frustrated moment, the disheartened commissioner of the survey, which so far has not uncovered the rumored mineral wealth of Stephanique exclaimed, "Search Everywhere! Comb the Desert!" Months later, Gustav Faust, an engineer detailed to the survey rides out to check on one of the contracted survey teams led by the charming, "Old Crazy Bill." "Good afternoon... and how about this heat...?" *no response from the hired help and Old Crazy Bill seems to be fully engaged in trying to catch an imaginary fly buzzing around his head, completely unaware of the Engineer's arrival* "Found anything yet?" the Faust awkwardly tries to get a reaction out of the obviously uncomfortable survey crew. An exasperated crew member looks up, "We ain't found..." "Well we did find this big bright shiny rock" Old Crazy Bill casually mentions, laughs hysterically, and tosses the metallic rock to Faust. "Really!?" Faust is just shocked that Old Crazy Bill's um... peculiar... uh methods... had produced this promising specimen. "Well, I guess... keep it up? I"ll take this to the lab back in Lavalette" And one more. @Ayrlego Clearly such sophisticated equipment couldn't help but turn up something special...

CapOnBOBS Posted January 13, 2023 Hey all, happy to see you all got as much of a kick out of this idea as I did. @Ayrlego thanks for running the geological lab for the entire Brick Seas and processing all those mineral samples for us. Iron it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
