Fraunces

Episodelist: Episode I ~ Samson Brody Episode 2 ~ Fonticulus Episode 3 ~ A Blessing in Disguise Episode 4 ~ The Grotto's Episode 5 ~ Captive of the Mardierians Episode 6 ~ The Temple Episode 7 ~ Torture on Tortuga EPISODE 8 Jacobo was succesful, and LeFeau was scared! Before a knive even touched his body, he told the exact location of the treasure. He said he hid it on a quiet bay somewhere near the Garden of Hades'. The crew found the spot quickly. The question is, what was on the bottom of the bay? Ofcourse, in dealing with these pirates, one had to be careful while diving in another captain's favourite plank-walking area's! Lothario's parrot "Salmo" kept repeating only one word: "Sharkbait!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ? ~~~ Just joking, ofcourse he survived! Nobody likes a bad end! The Fraunces brothers returned home to the Sereen Cay , straight to their favourite hangout (know from the BotBS Advent Calendar 2020) and celebrated a very welcome couple of beers, after a long adventure which has finally come to an end. The brothers had made new friends, the scientist Brody, the naturalist Victoria Elsa and they even made it up to their old nemesis, LeFeau! They where all welcomed to celebrate, cut a share of the treasure and join the Fraunces brothers Sea Rat crew. The local band the "Cuckatoo Shuffle" played and old memories returned with the new, and old members of the crew. THE END for now.. Good weekend everyone!

Thank you Kwatchi, means a lot!

Beautiful little farm!

Very nice, once again!

Maybe better! Always nicer to see a story totally and finding older posts. I have the same, so it turns out all ok! I can't promise a quick new episode... Many thanks mate! I always enjoy your stories also, which gives me motivation and ideas to create more stories like this. I just don't have so much time to build as I am building my real-life house ATM. So, let's keep creating more lore for the BotBS as we go. Thank for the elaborate comment

Thanks! Yes, I have been waiting for the right opportunity where his minifig-face would fit the best Many thanks! Did my best. The nougat tiles came from my recently destructed modular, had to use them asap ofcourse! For the little tower I had been puzzling, those shutters just came as a gift from the sky. Thanks Professor! But Jacobo knows, what nobody knows, can't hurt him. Who is to say there actually was any torture at all? He was just trying to scare him! Thank you! Have fun I'd say! thank a lot Spud! Saw that techniques somewhere while scrolling for ideas. Impemented it directly!

Really nice vignette. Together with the story it reminded me of AC4 Black flag ;) Nice build.

Another warehouse has been established in Tortuga by the honorable Fraunces Family:

Episodelist: Episode I ~ Samson Brody Episode 2 ~ Fonticulus Episode 3 ~ A Blessing in Disguise Episode 4 ~ The Grotto's Episode 5 ~ Captive of the Mardierians Episode 6 ~ The Temple Episode 7 ~ Torture on Tortuga EPISODE 7 LeFeau had lied! His false information as to where he hid the stolen treasure from the Lake lead the Fraunces crew to Island 9, the Garden of Hades. There, they found an interesting temple in the jungle, some natural harbours a settlement might be establised, but no treasures. Lothario Fraunces was tired of his games, he saved them from the Mardierians no less! He had been working day and night to ensure good profits in the MRCA-runs, and in the meantime trying to make the governor's daughter of the Lavalette court. In short, his time patience had run out. On one of the MRCA-runs the ships docked in Tortuga, and Lothario, Alfie and Victoria made their way along the quays, to one of the Fraunces' warehouses: His younger brother Jacobo in charge of their business in Tortuga, and made it his hobby to get the location of the treasure, whatever means necesarry. Lefeau would surely talk...

Amazing beauty. Love the style, colours and size. Just great.

indeed.. Our parrots have just repeated a revolutionary message all around Eslandolian Isles... nice buildings, and great how you keep upgrading the story

Very nice build. Love the action in this one.

It was basically only the titles haha, nice addition to the story.

Exactly! Yes, keep up the good work!

Lovely classic feel. Beautiful ambiance, colours, stonework and minifigs!

listen my friend nod, i really do like the ship and the story as well. I'd like to see more close up shots itstead of much of the same angle. I'd also like to SEE the story you know. You picked the Mardierians as plunder-bait which is not bad, and the story took time i can see, but show us something more next time, you know what i mean? So in conclusion, keep up the building and story-telling effort, but show more detail/action. Show the pictures of the same ship from the same angle also but in a spoiler maybe. Nice work nonetheless matey

Very nice work

A very warm welcome William! Hope to see more from you in the future. nice vignette for sure!

very nice alleyway and the photography skills you show are even more outstanding.

nice one again!

beautiful vignette. I like the smaller palmtrees especially!

I always enjoy seeing another part of your stories, this one was no exception either. Very funny story, I have a big spot for such dry humor

Amazing story my friend! Love the different sections and especially the typical front of the building. just a beautiful and fun build. Terrific job!

Welcome to BoBS! nice intro

amazing execution of an idea
