Emile managed to track a third former crewmate down. He was surprised he didn't smell him across the ocean. Rupert, or "Rotten" as the few friends of Emile on that ship called him, was known to smell worse than Corrington breeches when they see the glory of an Oleander. That being aside, Emile smelled Rotten as soon as he stepped into town. Emile wanted his former crewmembers he hunted to see him and know he was there when he came for them. He was willing to make an exception for Rotten, the poor fellow. The stench of booze, rotting meat, and who knew what else fell like a thick cloud over the city. Emile knew that a msuket would serve this task, and hopefully the smell of gunpowder would cover up the foul odor. Only there was a problem. The guard. The rather angry looking guard. But fortune favors the bold, as Emile had heard. He found a fortune teller on the side streets and offered her some coin to keep Mr. Angry Morion over there. Emile instructed her to speak very loudly. Mr. Angry Morion didn't seem too pleased with his fortune. So Emile lept into action, quickly lining up his shot and fired at Rotten. And without even having to get close to Rotten, Emile killed the smelly man.

"Look at Cedric, already swinging."

Raise a glass to that! With Oleon expanding like it is, we'll have a monopoly in no time.

Thank you! I'm glad I was able to have you reminisce on your youthful days!

"Alright," Kiray started, "who counted the chickens before they hatched?" She repeats. As a side note, starting later today, I'll be out of the country with periodic access to the internet for about a week and a half. Kintobor has full control over Kiray if I don't post.

You know it's true!

Thanks!

Thanks! Thanks! I'm hoping to have another one up in a few weeks.

I know! We're a civilized people. We're not Sea Rats or Pirates or even worse, Corries!

First, if this is in the wrong section I apologize. I figure it would go in Town because it's a park. Now, onto the actual business. As close to minifigure scale as I could, I have recreated the Park set from the children's TV show "Barney & Friends." This one took quite a bit of time and looking at reference pics (as well as digging into my own memories). It's a build I don't think many people would think to do, and I'm pretty positive with how it turned now. It's exactly 3,025 pieces. Let's go and take a look. A general overview of the park. Here we can see everything, from the gazebo, the knoll, the exterior of the caboose, the playset and the toolshed. Of course, would this be Barney without the titular purple dinosaur and his friends? Included (from left to right) are Melanie, Riff, Barney, Baby Bop (with blankey) BJ, and David minifigures. Here is the gazebo, a bench, and leading up to the bridge and ramps. A better view of the bridge and pond. Here is the playground and a bit of the grassy knoll. Here is the outside of the caboose. This part was actually pretty difficult to do, because I wanted it to be big enough for Barney to actually stand there, as he is actually able to do. Of to the left you can see the Idea Chair. In the center is the hopscotch squares. And here are the stepping stones and the toolshed. And here are some pictures I used for reference. I hope you all enjoyed this one. Comments and criticism welcome.

They called him the Great Shark because of how pale he was. The Great Shark was never always that pale; around his teens his skin pigment started changing. He wasn't that dark to start, but it was noticeable. Maybe that's why he joined the crew, they didn't judge him. The man was a killer through and through, even if he was peacefully fishing now. There were too many unspeakable actions he had made, in Emile's opinion. That's why, like Scott, The Great Shark had to die. It was an overcast day when Emile decided to make his move. Captain Emile Perreault knew this was risky, out in the open. But he wanted to make a statement. He knew that word of an unusually pale man murdered in the middle of the day would spread. Emile hoped that would cause the others he hunted to make mistakes and stumble into the open. Emile waited for The Great Shark to cast his net again. And then he moved in, putting his blade against The Great Shark's thick neck. "You're going to kill me?" The Great Shark asked. It seemed more of a statement than a question. "Yes." Emile replied. "Shame, you were my favorite person on the crew." Then The Great Shark lurched kicked Emile's shin. Emile bumped into the barrel of fish, and some tuna fell onto the deck. The Great Shark tried to go forward; he opened his mouth to scream for help. But it was too late. Emile moved his knife around and stabbed his former crewmember in the kidney. And amongst the fish, The Great Shark lay.

Need a loan or some place to store your doubloons? Then stop by the small bank owned by Philip. Philip makes sure your doubloons are protected as he has hired a guard. You don' even need to walk into the building, just come up to the windows. The space saved by not having an interior allows you to store more gold! And don't worry, while Philip and his guard like to play guards, they never use customers' money. The RNTC is more than welcome to buy this property.

Karie Kirby Kerbey Kiray repeats.

Shouldn't it be Karie then Kiray? Kiray repeats her attacks again.

OoC: I think you swapped Kiray and Karie's names in the description.

Yay! More quests!

"I have to say, I'm quite thankful there aren't any demonic children we're fighting here."

We definitely need an advertisement push. I'd say we have to plan this anthology series pretty well first, then launch it and have it posted on the frontpage. Should help to get some people.

"Let's see if this old thing works," Kiray says as she pulls out her Sanctified Rito Longsword. "Might be a little weak, or dull compared to others, but let's try it." She attacks the Feral Hen Mob 2 from the front with the rito longsword twice. Kiray downed a smelling salts before this battle, so she should be Hastened.

That sounds like a fantastic idea, and a lot of fun too. I'm interested as well, depending on when.

You're right, I should've continued that gray line. I never even thought about it, and I know I have the pieces for it. Last time I made sails, I used garbage bags , so I think I'll upgrade the next ship to at least paper. I do have to thank CGH though for the widening of the hull; it's a modified version of his build-a-frigate tutorial.

Kiray throws back a smelling salts. "I'm ready."

Thank you! The stern was a bit of a challenge and I actually ran out of yellow slopes after I finished. And good thing our convoys are strong. Needs to protect all the cargo this one ship has.

Thanks! Not sure why the photos won't embed recently. And thanks for the comments on the ship. Definitely will add rigging on the next one.
