Heroic commander Jacobus Sien stood vigilant for the Eslandola attack force. Till my dying breath by North White, on Flickr The Elsandolans launched their boats from Warships off the coast.

From the Logs of Dr. Abigail Joyce, Wayfarer Trade Company's chief explorer. Day 42 "It took us several days of exploring in the jungle before we found the natives. They appeared peaceful, at first. They greeted us cordially, and through an interpreter, one asked us to attend a ceremony. If it brought us closer to the Gold, we were happy to oblige." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "Through the jungle we went, following a past that went past a burbling stream. Further expeditions would be able to identify the many new species of plants and birds that swarmed the jungle. I must confess, however, that I was not the ideal Corrington scientist. I had student debt, and I could really use a cut of the gold to pay them off." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "We all gathered in front of a platform, covered in gold. A glittering chest full of gold sat above us, an alter for their heathen gods. We were so close then. I began formulating a plan in my mind." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "They Natives brought out a hostage, a thin man who appeared to be of Mardien descent. He seemed frightened." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "The Native priests threw him over the alter. Slowly, the high priest raised his blade." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "We watched in silent horror as the Priest brought the knife down. Our interpreter explained. The Gold must be blessed with blood." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "When the priest was finished, the body was cast over the side, into a pile of bones." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "Our interpreter told us that we would speak to the King now that the ceremony was finished. Clearly, we had to take the gold from these Heathen savages. But where were the other Mardiens?" Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr FIN Thank you for viewing the second installment of Challenge 5 part E. This is my 32x32 entry. C&C appreciated. I want to ask you guys though, am I making these to violent? I've definitely have been going for a PG13 rating because we're all adults here, but I'm not sure if people enjoy that. Let me know if you do or don't like that.

From the logs of Dr. Abigail Joyce, Wayfarer Trading Company's Chief Explorer. Day 42 cont. "We were invited to speak with the king, or head priest. The word didn't really translate. We were brought up into the temple where the King's throne was. The rest of our party waited outside." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "The King asked us if we we could provide us with more sacrifices, in turn they would provide us with gold. Additionally, they wanted guns and steel swords so they could defeat the other tribe on the island. I tentatively agreed." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "The king was pleased. He then asked us if we knew any Mardiens. I replied to him that we did not. Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "Suddenly, a warrior came running in. He said something in a panicked voice." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "With a bang, he fell to the ground. The Mardiens walked into the throne room." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "The two warriors were summarily executed. The king raised his hands in surrender." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "The Mardien Captain Shot the king. He fell to the ground dead. 'Good to see some civilized people around here,' he said to me." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "You've saved us quite a bit of time sir. I said. 50/50 split of the gold? I know you wouldn't want to risk a war with Corrington..." "Sounds good to me," He said, and side by side, we worked together to steal all the gold."

From the Logs of Abigail Joyce. Wayfarer Trade Company's Chief Explorer. Day 1. Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "I had met with Captain Mesabi beforehand about arranging this voyage. He was a grizzled veteran, a little eccentric, but seemed willing to fund my voyage. He kept mentioning his hatred of Oleon, and how exploring a mysterious island for gold would be a really good way to hurt Oleon. He agreed to get me a ship, troops and supplies. Today, was the day we launched." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "The Marshall and the Governor's Accountant joined us on the deck of the Suckerfish the small ship that I was given for the passage to the Island of Gold. They both looked a bit annoyed at the occasion. I overheard them talking amongst themselves. 'Is it really a good idea to send marines on a voyage to a completely unknown island?' Asked the accountant. 'I don't think it's a good idea either, but these men are completely expendable.'" Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "Captain Mesabi handed me a map. 'Godspeed Dr. Phillips. May Poseidon grant you a safe journey.' He smiled, and the three men boarded the dingy and left. We soon set off for new lands." Treasure trove by North White, on Flickr "I adjourned to my cabin. I had maps to study. Preliminary reports from fishermen and Mardien intercepts told of Natives that were friendly and rich in gold. What would this strange new land hold? Only time would tell." FIN Thanks for viewing my first installment in the Category 5E challenge. This is my unlimited size build. C&C appreciated. I currently have no plans to license this vessel. I may modify it to be a class 5F, but I'm not sure what the exact rules are for licensing challenge builds.
