Professor Thaum

the oars are very well done

I refered to the Louis XIV decret of april 1656 establishing the Hospital.

The Naval Medicine School of the RSNP in Alexport is now open.

After the Oleon's King's decret to create the Hospital, all the Halosian powers, have established through time, their own medical structures. With the rapid expansion of naval trading and exploration, new diseases and affliction appeared. Some pioneers studied them, with their lots of success and tragic consequences, but always making progress. Now a new medicine branch is going to be established, the Royal Society of Natural Philosophy is proud to present to you... The Naval Medicine School and Hospital of Alexport. The doctor Thaum, head of the School, present a disputatio room ready to welcome students. The doctor also present a naval medicine case he developed during his travels. Some of the medical tools were developed in situ by the doctor with the means at hand. A large property on Prio for the RSNP (the property is free as I won it after the Pilot Cup Challenge) C&C Welcome, more pics on demand (of the school, the case, etc) At the goodwill of @Bregir or @Ayrlego for licencing and declaring the build (as the RSNP is not Sea Rat, I'm a little bit puzzled for the declaration)

Me too, it was awful ! However, I ate snakes or spiders ( brochettes ) and it was acceptable.

Pablo is halfway between hunter and gatherer... His thing, is... grasshopper. And they abound especially on Mermaid's Tears And Pablo is very skillful with a butterfly net, he is able to catch the grasshopper wherever they may hide ! And, his bag is quickly fulfilled, with numerous plump insects He usually spent all the morning harvesting the grasshopper. Then, he came back to a small shack near the west beach of Mermaid's Tears to meet some regulars. And all the rest of the day, he proposes brochettes and fried grasshopper for the pleasure of the nearby sailors. A small commerce for Black Rock, C&C welcome as usual.

my cat C entry :

Black Rock, april 620. Letter from Shaggy Wallace to the doctor Thaum. Doctor, at the end of Feb. 620, after a survey trip around Black Rock, we noticed that seemed to be an islander catamaran beached southeast of Phenix's Roost We quickly found the newcomers without revealing ourselves. They were 4 and engaged in a pretty strong earthwork. We spied them for about 2 weeks and finally decided to met with the newcomers as they finished a fine crafted stone idol on a fine paved floor. They were happy to find other peoples. They explained us that they lost their way in a storm, and finally reached Black Rock. For the knowledge sake, we supplied them with food,shelter and help to finish their work. The stone idol on the paved floor, is a kind of elaborate sextant as far as I correctly understood their explanations. They did not own any portable device like compass,spyglasses, sextant or chronometers. They travel from island to island keeping the same course and referring to the sun or the stars. If losing their way, they need to land and craft the "Thabthim" idol. ( they carry, on parchment, precise ratings to duplicate the same idol and the same paved floor in order to read the sacred abacus) They carry a big refined quartz crystal as a lens to insert in the idol hat and a smaller one for the idol right hand too. Then, after rotating some crafted stones and the idol they could locate and orient themselves, and mark the position on a map. As far as I could see, this is pretty accurate when they reported Black Rock on their map. We, then, exchange numerous committment to friendship, they thank us very much for our kind help and planned an official visit of one of their high ranked Tee Ree Dee as they call themselves. After effusives goodbye and many handshakings, they were all chopped up and their ship burned down to the keel, according to your specifications to keep Black Rock secret. We kept their maps, parchments, idol, abacus, paved floor and strange spyglass to your goodwill on Phenix's Roost. Regards S. Wallace This is my Cat. C entry, could probably be licenced as a cultural/educational small/medium property on Black Rock

Should we consider this as a Cat C. Challenge entry ?

@Brickwolf : despicable you !

As I'm not native english spoker my text might be full of "misprint" or "errors" Feel free to send me by PM whatever remark you consider suitable and I will correct.

One word : congratulation... For this wonderful build and for the idea... Guess what idea I just posted in the court forum there is barely a hour ?

Clever and gorgeous one ! Nice, nice house and stables nice technics and colors but a little bit too Halosian for a newly discovered island (IMHO) A wonderful build anyway.

Back in March 620, Prio Sea, North shore of Tortuga... precisely at Dr Thaum's pied-à-terre The young Iauln is up the tower, searching the horizon with his telescope, the trusted Callaghan is manning the grill, and the doctor... PSHHHHHHHH ! PSHHHHHHHOUUUT ! SHHHHHH ! SHHHH ! KLANG ! Dr Thaum : EUREKA ! It works ! Callaghan, my steam engine is working ! The wheel is turning !! YEEEEEHAAAAA ! TJ Johnson : Excuse me doctor, your parcel... Dr Thaum : I don't give a sh... of that parcel Callaghan, you're a bonehead, Callaghan ! TJ Johnson : This is not Callaghan, doctor... Dr Thaum : UH ?! Oh, sorry, TJ, which parcel ? Errr... OK THE parcel ! You've found him ! Well done TJ ! Here I come ! Dr Thaum : Wonderful guys ! Bring the coffin in my pantry... CALLAGHAN ! Show them in ! And then offer them a drink ! XXXXXXXXXXXXX Dr Thaum : Dear professor, you're finally back to me ! TJ Johnson : Allright doctor, can you explain me what's going on ? I terminated about twenty persons for bringing that corpse back. Dr Thaum : Of course Mr Johnson, You've just brought back to me the corpse of my estimated mentor, the professor Oktober Sippio, he teached me most of my knowledge... TJ Johnson : Talk, talk ! Why should I bring it back untouched and eliminate all witnesses, the 2 altonian captains and some of the crews ? Dr Thaum : OK, OK... many years ago, the war between Oleon and Corrington was in full swing, and with this war, its share of destruction, orphans, famine and diseases, notably the leprosy. The lord-chambellan came to the professor Sippio and asked for a terrible disease, ready to take a heavy toll on the Oleonese ranks and he asked for a cure too, for Corrington, of course, for a stated price... Something as terrible as leprosy. I just defended my thesis and became doctor, with my friend Henry, under the direction of the professor Sippio, and all 3 began to work on this scourge. Callaghan : Wait a minute ! You got paid for that !? For a disease ready to rampage the world !? Dr Thaum : You're a bonehead Callaghan ! I get paid for my care ! The death is offered ! Anyway, the research, especially for the cure, needed a vast amount of money the lord-chambellan was hesitating to provide, and there were suddenly changes in the royalty and the lord-chambellan was dismissed for womanizing, but this red leprosy... Callaghan : This leprosy ?? TJ Johnson : Finish your story doctor... Dr Thaum : This leprosy was good and ready. The cure was ready too, but we barely had only half a dozen unit dose, we do not have fully tested. A cleaning up was then initiated in the ex lord-chambellan business, our lab was destroyed, Henry and I escaped with few samples (including some of the cure) and books and the professor was captured as he was burning the last flasks of Red Oktober. Nethertheless, the professor was the only one to have the complete formula of the cure, but just before I vanished with Henri, he had time to say " I will point to the solution". Since then, I have done all that I can but the professor died in jail and his body ended up in a mass grave. After years the mass grave was found and under my instructions and with some money the coffin was loaded in the LaCrosse, a ship hired for the Sea of Thieves sea link. Unfortunately the ship sank near Terraversa, and it took me almost a year to find the sinking localisation. But when the LaCrosse wreckage was found, that was only to realize that 2 altonian ships found the coffin, probably floating on the sea near the wreck, and take it with them to Ulric. This is where you come in, TJ... Callaghan : Why Red Oktober, doctor ? And were are the flasks you runaway with ? I hope destroyed !? Dr Thaum : Red Oktober... because of the red color of the substrate, and destroyed... No. Have a look around you Callaghan Callaghan : Reuuaaargh !!! This is the Red Oktober ? Dr Thaum : Indeed... Callaghan: And the cure samples ? Dr Thaum : Already consummate Callaghan Callaghan : Let me develop a bit... This is the reason why Henri, Barney, Hadvice, Oggy you and I boarded the Leper Messiah and the Leper Crusader ? You and Henry tried your cure ! And it didn't succeed ! We now have 2 doomed ships storming the seas with full crews of infectious demons !! That's an outrage ! You're a fool ! You lost your best friend and even your son ! And you aren't seeking a solution anymore ? Dr Thaum : Shut up Callaghan ! The cure is a success, as you noticed it, Barney, Oggy, Hadvice, you and I are well, right ? and... TJ Johnson : Why did you give your last dose to me ? Dr Thaum : Some flasks were broken in the skirmish as the lab was destroyed and the professor captured, there was a mini leprosy outbreak after this in the city, and the professor died of his own Red Oktober in jail. So the last dose was for you, as you perhaps have to touch the corpse and bring the last sample back. And Callaghan, the solution is here ! That's why I hired TJ for bringing the the coffin back. The cure formula comes with the corpse of Oktober Sippio ! "The professor point to the solution" Callaghan : You administer me the cure ? When ? Why ? and Henry ? and Hadvice ? Dr Thaum : Enough Callaghan ! Enough ! You have a drink to offer ! Callaghan (leaving) : You smutty old fool! Dr Thaum : Look, TJ, for the cure, "the professor point to the solution", look at that right arm and the index finger... TJ Johnson : A false finger ! How did you notice that ? Looks like a true one ! Dr Thaum : Henry and I made this false finger, the professor asked us to amputate him and replace the real one with this prothesis this is an empty one and he probably hid the cure formula inside. That's why I wanted you to bring me the body back or at least the right arm ! Dr Thaum : All our efforts are rewarded ! I now have the cure formula ! This is designated to be the Doctor's residence in Tortuga, should be licenced as a medium one with court approval @Bregir @Capt Wolf @Bodi @Ayrlego (because of being only a MOD of the old fishing store official) I hope you enjoyed the story... all is not revealed, there is lot more to come !
