Dramatis Personae: Currently, at Rassilon... It appears that Lucy has finally set up her martial arts studio. It certainly looks imposing. I especially like the strength projected by the dragon head. If I wanted to learn how to fight, this would certainly be the place to do it. MARKETING!!! Anyways, shall we go inside and take a look? He says he's looking for work, but I know he's spending all his time hanging out at the local tavern with the guys being a good for nothing! Mmm-hmm. So your husband is a loser? Yes! My mother was so right about him! I should have listened to her! And on top of that he snores! So not only is he a loser, but he prevents you from sleeping, as well. Let me jot this down. IN THE DOGHOUSE!!! What's all this?! What are you doing?! You're interrupting a private session! I thought this was supposed to be a martial arts studio! You stupid professor! I told you that this was a marital arts studio! What do you even think I study? You're supposed to be my advisor! Given that you're Asian, I figured it was some sort of martial arts. First, we've gone over this. There is no Asia in this world. Second, that's racist. Third, no serious accredited and internationally recognized institution would give out a doctorate in the martial arts! What world are you living in? Then what do you study? Psychology, you stupid professor! This is my office where I conduct couples counseling! This is fantastic! I'm glad that you're offering the Sea Rats access to psychological guidance on this island. SENSEI-TIONAL!!! @$#%%&*^*@#%%&*#$@#$#^%#$#!!! Comments and criticisms are all welcome!

The last anyone else had heard of Jack Yharnam, her ship had got lost in the hurricane. Debris was found washed up on a nearby spit of land - quite by chance, actually, the crew were hunting for meat - but no trace of the captain herself. Everyone thought she had gone down with the ship... ...until she sailed into port one day in that monstrosity, the Mirthless Jest. Bigger than the Crow, more guns too. Gods only know where she found another crew for the thing. But there it was, bold as brass. I might just sneak in an MCRA results MOC before the end of the month but just in case I don't I figured I would post this up. I'll have to wait to license this, I don't have the DB for any kind of Class 3 ship and since this is bigger than the Crow I don't think I'll get away with calling this a Class 2. I'm still learning with BlueRender so I may add some shots of the details using the LDD's photo mode, but that will have to happen later.

Dramatis Personae: Currently, on the high seas... Where are you going?!?! Head to port, not starboard!!! Follow the convoy!!! I don't know which way is what! What's up with the port and starboard stuff?! Why you can't you just say left or right?! It's just how it is! Why did we even let you steer this boat? Oh, great...now we've strayed away from the escorts... YOUR OTHER PORT!!! It appears that the Escandolians have noticed that we have strayed from the group. Or are they Escandolans? It's like the citizens of Canada. Are they Canadans or Canadians? I can never get them right. What are you talking about?!?! There's no Canada here!!! Look! It's the Great Scott! It's turning back around to protect us! We're saved! Well, that just means she'll get captured. We're not supposed to know that, yet! Don't worry, the Escandol...er...the people of Escandola will return her to us. We're not supposed to know that, either!!! TIME TRAVEL!!! @$#%%&*^*@#%%&*#$@#$#^%#$#!!!

Freebuild #3 April 616 In the previous episode, Captain Brickbeard with his remaining crew were casted adrift to be sharkbait after Eslandola's Blessed Angel seized their ship, the Great Scott. They drifted for days and nights until they landed on an island. There they were stranded until Susieh found them.

So I don't know what buttons I pressed but I can't get a good set of pictures of this using BlueRender, so he's the one good render. and some screenshots from the LDD that for some reason have no background. That was a surprise when I went to resize the image. The Night's Gold's sinister colours are a frequent site around Bastion and Haven. No one is quite sure how her Captain, Montgomery DuLac, manages to earn enough money to keep her afloat. It may relate to his good humour, easy going nature, ability to work with anyone and willingness to take any paying job. He even, occasionally, resorts to piracy - though he tends away from violence towards the prey's crew. After all, no point in needlessly raising a bounty on his head. Captain DuLac himself, making sure his ship is in good shape. He is not above hiring a few "less civilised sorts" as marines. Though some of them do not do much the rest of the time. I'm using my free license for the Night's Gold, classing her as a Class 2 Well Rounded.

Grayther Drave pays many people to bring him exotic goods for his emporium in Bastion, but the Spiders may be his favourites. A team of expert treasure hunters, the Spiders take their name from the unusual little boat the sail around in; the Wight Spider. Some people claim the boat is not white enough for it's name. Drave tells them they misunderstand it. The Spiders - Talia, Gascoigne and Klaus - treat their vessel better than they treat anyone else, except, perhaps, Grayther Drave. The Wight Spider is a Class 1 Well Rounded vessel.

Log Entry, Captain Benjamin Morgan I heard word in several pubs and taverns in Bastion, that latewards a mysterious island had been discovered south of the Nest. Rumour had it that this barely explored isle was covered with dense jungle, hiding ghastly things in its deeps. Tales of a wild people came to our ears, men who used to serve any stranger who entered the land of their gods- either boiled or raw. But there were also rumours of large banana trees, countless springs of fresh water, fertile soil and forests filled with more game than any man could ever hunt down. Surprisingly none of the aspiring empires had claimed the land so far. We soon came to the decision that the promises of this island were too tempting to not risk an expedition. Too late to abort the journey, at the pier we heard the name that was given to it. Isla del Diablo, Devil's Island. Unimpressed by the gossip of the sailors we set sail to unknown shores. The sea was calm and the winds in our favour, and after one night and one day, Isla del Diablo came in sight. Although we could see the entrance to the large bay, that had recently be named "Bay of Horns", I gave order to surround the island in the hope that we would find a yet undiscovered part of the coast that was eligible for going ashore. I was in no way eager after joining the settlers that had already arrived in the bay; too soon it would be confined and cramped and well known to every man east of Terraversa. We eventually found a small beach area in the middle of a long cliff that appeared to frame nearly all of the eastern shore. The dense jungle was perilously leaning above the cliffs, blaring out a silent threat against every intruder. Dim scrub came down to the beach reaching almost to the calm billows touching the sand. Now it was time to release the first settlers into their uncertain fate. Even if it would emerge that this paradise really was the purgatory on our continuous way to Hades, we could at least feed on them...

This is a MRCA results MOC of the unprovoked attack and illegal seizure of the Great Scott by the ESL Blessed Angel. Notes: Title is based on losing my ships in 2 out of 3 MRCA so far. The Blessed Angel was an un-MOC shp. Cannon chain shots are pretty nasty. Poor faction seeks Pro Bono Lawyers

This is pretty much my first real attempt at landscaping, so please bear that in mind. The Shrines of Haven As the town's name suggests, Haven was founded with the idea of providing a sanctuary to those Sea Rats who found themselves following Roland Blaze and the exploratory fleet. Blaze asked for little but the willingness to help defend each other. Consequently, quite an eclectic assortment of faiths wound up being practised in Haven. Until suitable separate structures could be built a small communal shrine building was put up housing four of the largest faiths in the settlement. The north facing side houses a shrine to Oleon's triumvirate. Facing east sits a dedication and ritual sun dial for the worshippers of Helia. The southern side is home to idols representing the Mother of Creation and Serpent of Destruction. The western facing saw the installation of a shrine to the Truachesh neh Triuri. However, some faiths are practised away from the light of day. The discovery of a cave and pool beneath the knoll represented a significant opportunity and one of the last Blackwater Witches set up a shrine to their sinister patron.

Freebuild #1 April 2016 We saw earlier that some of vile pirates were also into whaling, athough they were not very good whalers. http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=124733 When they did catch one, the whale was rendered into oil at the Sea Rats' on-shore whale oil factory. Whale oil uses included oil lamps and soap making, It was an important product before the discovery of petroleum oil. To make whale oil, the whale was cutted into strips of blubber. The strips of blubber were boiled, a process called "trying out" to extract the oil. After the oil has cooled, it was put into barrels and transported to market. It should be noted that the stench of smoked blubber was impossible to eradicate, you could smell the processing crew approaching down wind from a nautical mile away.

Free build #2 April 616 The Sea Rats have a small weed plantation in the Bastion. The land is fertile in many ways. They have some huge weeds growing up high in the rows of grass.

The keen eye of the Novitius's Captain saw how the curves of the land matched the map he had been given by his employer. Having sent his crew ashore in the rowboat, he was happy to hear they had struck gold! Though the haul held many treasures, by the time the crew and others split their shares it was a lot smaller of a portion for each man. Yet, no one was complaining! I know it is a bit late, but I figured I would post for feedback/criticism at the very least!

In Central Bardo Instruments have been hard to come by around Bardo since the Musician's Talent Fair was announced. So one member of the local militia built a frame and borrowed a Sea Rat from the Jail. The sound isn't the best, but's it's fun to play! My entry for the MTF! The road was inspired by one of Kai's recent builds. C&C welcome!

While patrolling the waters around their new island, Isla del Diablo, a band of pirates caught sight of a Corrington party looking for more land. The pirates gave chase to the Corrington boat on which was the famous Captain Stasch. He had successfully sailed through many storms, won many battles at sea, and even discovered new flora and fauna. He was known to be fearless, brave, and strong. The other two men in his boat however, had none of these qualities. And the first shot from the pirates they flung themselves overboard! Captain Stasch had no recourse but to surrender himself to the nefarious pirates.

Cantu's House Even a Pirate Has a Sweet Tooth La Oleon Captain's Cabin Freddy was at the fruit store with his farmer friend, Charles. He had been successful in finding treasure and had come home with some gold in his pockets. He was trying to decide what he should be that would bring in the most profit. He hadn't had much success with animals, so he was trying for something less tasty to sharks. Freddy was trying to listen to Charles over the ruckus being caused by a drunk pirate. Cantu was searching without much success for the thief who had robbed him. OoC: I'm licensing this as a "Commerce" building since it's more a market place than a shop.

Previously: Recruiting at Marco's This Is Not the Wealthy Housing of Rassilon Falling Out with Foxx Cantu's Fort in Rassilon The Viper Jail Break! Cantu's House La Oleon "As you know Sinbad," Li Fang was saying, "I have sent a number of the crew over to La Oleon with Ching Shih which leaves some opportunities for advancement among the crew still aboard The Viper." Sinbad was thankful he had not been among those commissioned to help crew their new ship, La Oleon. He had nothing against the new addition, but he felt a certain attachment to The Viper since it had been his first ship to serve on. He still wasn't sure he was in line with Li's methods, but he was much happier being a free man as a pirate than an over taxed, over worked man amongst the Oleonaders. "I've talked with some of the crew and they all agree that it is time you moved up from deck hand to full crew member" Li continued. "As long as you continue to give me your loyalty and hard work, I will make sure you are always taken care of among this crew Sinbad." Sinbad was thankful to be given this promotion. It was nice to no longer be on the bottom of the food chain.

This is a Class 3A ship. She is captained by Ching Shih. Previously: Recruiting at Marco's This Is Not the Wealthy Housing of Rassilon Falling Out with Foxx Cantu's Fort in Rassilon The Viper Jail Break! Cantu's House While Cantu was being robbed, Li Fang and his crew of miscreants were successfully defending a pirate convoy against the nefarious wiles of an Oleon privateer. The result was that Li Fang succeeded as a captain where his father had failed. He led his crew in the successful capture of a prize! The La Oleon was quite the prize. Some of the crew from The Viper switched ships to help bring it into port at Rassilon. In port more crew were hired to help man the new ship. Even though she was painted in Oleon's favorite blue, she flew the black proudly showing her new ownership. OoC: Please note that I did "recycle" much of my last ship to build this one. I changed the sloping on the sides of the hull, swapped the dark red tiles for blue, and changed the masts. As this was a ship I captured and not a "new" boat, I hope no one minds that I went this route. I don't plan on making this a habit, but with little time to build this month, I thought this would be an acceptable shortcut.

The crew of the Novitius knew this was dangerous waters, and all hands were on the rails to watch for the jagged rocks which protruded from the sea. It was the keen eye of the first mate which spotted her first, a tangle of planks and rope smashed up against the rocks. With both a mind for treasure, and a heart for the fellow seamen potentially trapped in the wreck, a rowboat was lowered to the waters and sent to further investigate. Though no signs of human life were spotted, modest goods and treasure were found on what was assessed to be the wreck of the LeGrande. As always, feedback is welcome!

Challenge 2B A long time ago many factions fought over a tiny key island outpost in the Seas of Storm. The lookout post was installed by Oleon and provided intelligence of ship movements in the Seas of Storm. Corrington, unfriendly to Oleon, seized the outpost with a small expedition force. Their victory may have been short lived though.
