On this sunny morning of Easter Day 1921, former Oberstleutnant von Klaw from the Schutztruppe in German East Africa and some friends decide to go for a hunt in this little island, not far from the place on the Javanese coast where they retired themselves few years ago. The friends of von Klaw are the Major Zimmerman from German East Africa, the Rittmeister von Klewitz from the East Asian cavalry and the Vize-Feldwebel Schultz his former ordnance.

After a short travel by boat, they finally arrive on this small piece of land, lost in the Indian Ocean. They check their weapons and begin their trip under the luxuriant vegetation of the island.

After a few minutes of a difficult walk in the jungle, they are arriving to a little pond, when suddenly, they stop. Something is mouving among the thick bushes near the water.

While our friends are preparing their rifles, a big squamous head with little cruel eyes and numerous razor sharp teeth appears from behind the shrubs and slowly turns towards them.

Then, quick as lightning the monstruous saurian, jumping and running, charges the little group.
This is too much for Zimmerman and von Klewitz who run away from this cursed jungle.

Meanwhile, Schutz and von Klaw, cold-blooded as the reptile facing them, raise their rifles, aim and fire. The shots resound loudly, and, after the smog clear away, the body of the saurian lies on the ground, two bleeding holes in the chest and one in the head.
After a mouthful of schnapps to recover and a photograph of the trophy, our two courageous hunters are ready to continue their exploration of this mysterious island.

Love the Eggs.
The Easter bunny has big teeth...but small ears ;)
-
Very cool story so far,
can't wait to read more.
-
Thanks! The eggs are from the GW Cave Drake (Lord of the Rings). And the bunny...well I'm a huge fan of Monty Python's Holy Grail where rabbits usually have little pointed teeth. :D
-
:o :-* lol
Great narrative and pics!
Waiting to read the rest of the adventure.
Thanks for sharing.
-
Wait a minute, if two of them ran away, who took the photo? lol
-
Great looking game so far. Nice table. I look forward to reading the next installment.
-
Dinosaur hunt games always look like so much fun!
Talk about appealing to your inner kid!
I like your photos and terrain. :-*
Thank you for posting. :)

Who indeed? :D

Good work on the miniatures! I always love reading the stories people put together :-*

Thanks, I really liked your Trail of Clues AAR too. It is one of the reports that pushed me to make this eggs hunt. Your sceneries and figures were amazing and I really like the reports that tell a story.

Few minutes and many interrogations later, von Klaw and Schultz decide to continue their expedition through the island. Their walk is now more cautious and silent as both of the hunters think about their disturbing last encounter.

Soon, the landscape changes. Rocks emerge from the bushes and among them fantastic shapes, witnesses of titanic, antediluvian life-forms, extinguished for aeons. Extinguished? Really?
(http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/818/image8dv.jpg)
Schultz attention is suddenly attracted by a greenish glow. As he gets closer, he discovers some green-spotted spheres of strange aspect. He calls von Klaw and both men take a look at the mysterious objects.

Eggs! This is eggs!

Yes. This is eggs. The biggest eggs they ever seen…and one of them is hatched. Immediately, the two men think about the money they could make by selling the two remaining eggs or better, by raising themselves whatever will get out of these eggs. Can you imagine: Buy your own living dinosaurs!
Carefully, the hunters take the eggs in their arms and begin the slow way back to civilisation and wealth.
They barely walked a few hundred meters when a terrible roar resounds from the depth of the jungle.
(http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/6588/image10id.jpg)
Something big, heavy and yet very quick is moving through the bushes. The men drop the eggs on the grass and face now the direction of the monstrous trampling coming to them.
(http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/7201/image11wt.jpg)
Tons of muscles, sabre fangs and razor claws run upon them and it is now the turn of Schultz to run away, crying as a little child.
(http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/392/image12fw.jpg)
Meanwhile, von Klaw raises his rifle. He knows that he has only one chance and he doesn’t want to think about the consequences of a failure. He fires…
What happened exactly? Nobody knows. But weeks later, Schultz, during his rare moments of lucidity, will tell that he heard the shot, a brief shout and nothing more.
(http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/4793/image13k.jpg)
Then he will return to his cell, drooling and moaning about big lizards and big eggs.

lol

Thanks for sharin.

Thanks! I really enjoyed to play this game. With the Chain Reaction system, you are never sure to play exactly how you planned to do and, sometimes, you'd better listen the system and run away instead of standing bravely and being eaten at the end.
There will probably be some sequels to this history. First, beacuse I'm finishing to paint the rescue team and then because the most perceptive of you have probably noticed the strange statues appearing from time to time in the jungle, and this probably deserves some explanations...

Very fun stuff. The camera with the evidence on it must have been eaten with Von Klaw...
