The journey to... Eldorado?
« on: July 05, 2011, 16:31:17 »
Since the weather was nice and hot today, some of my Conquistadores  - stationed in the Americas of the 16th century - decided to leave their fortifications and go explore the neighbourhood, in search for gold and glory ... ;D

After a long and difficult journey of several weeks...humm...hours  ;D  through the dense jungle, in which they were quickly decimated by poisinous arrows during attacks by sneaky native tribes, by the most horrible diseases, by lack of food and by contaminated water, a small remaining group was still heading towards their goal ("let's move forward" their motto was :P )...
A goal that most of them thought only existed in the mind of "Don Franco de Benidorm", a Spanish nobleman who used to run taverns for elderly tourists in Spain, and who sailed to the New World to make (even more) fortune...


In the middle of the pic, you see the Don's loyal righthand, Capitan Fernando Tabasco...

Don Benidorm is also mounted off course, the soldiers have to walk...

The vegetation keeps getting denser, the footsoldiers must cut a path with their weapons...

But... something shows up in the distance... it looks like the scouts in front made a discovery.

The travellers get closer... they found a large manmade stone wall and a small ruined building...

Could this be... an entrance to... Don Franco de Benidorm's ultimate goal: the lost city of El Dorado ?!  :o


TO BE CONTINUED (MAYBE)  ;D

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

You HAVE to continue it!

Okay, but then you'll have to move the thread to story-telling... ;)
And I'm just improvising as I go...
