Snapcase All At Sea!

[Doug ex-em4]

As Jonners said to Aggers all those years ago:

"Oh do stop it, Martin".

Like Jonners, I am, as you know, prone to uncontrollable attacks of the giggles and these character sketches are liable to cause dangerous guffawing.

Fantastic.

Doug

[DintheDin]

Love it! Keep them coming! 

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

SI, OSHIROmodels and DintheDin, many thanks for your kind remarks, I'm glad you are enjoying my madness!

Doug, good to hear I'm making you laugh (although not as bad as at AshLAM '19 I hope!). "I couldn't quite get my leg over"!

[FifteensAway]

There for a moment I thought Teatime was in for a threesome with Peaches and Morgan - though I don't think either gal will cotton to including Mimsie to make it a foursome.  Perhaps not all hope is lost.  Though two hellcats at once might be a bit much even for Teatime.   

Who, me?  A cad?  Well...

The infamous "cleavage incident" in slippery gorge...

Spanish necklace,too much

Brilliant work,as always 

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

Thanks, Blackwolf.

I think Teatime might like to think that, FifteensAway but it is definitely the last thing on Peaches mind!   

PURPLE HOOD ENTERPRISES
EXECUTIONERS AND TORTURERS FOR HIRE
Our Day Starts When Your Enemies' Days End!
Prop: J. Rombaud     Est:1680

So reads the sign above the door at the premises where the Purple Hood resides. He does take his work seriously. Jean and his apprentice, Frankie the Mad Axeman are seen here with the tools of their trade and a few of their recent victims. The Governor of Islas de Pasaje de Vuelta, Sir Frobisher Fotheringay-Featherstonhaugh quite often makes use of their services and is probably Jean's best customer. Jean and Frankie have a good reputation for cleaning up after one of their 'wet jobs', none of this 'flesh flying out of the window and incommoding the passers-by!'

  Shocking!
If Morgan ever gets caught and sentenced for piracy, I'm pretty sure that Brother Vinni can provide an appropriate model for one of Jean's and Frankie's clients...

Abbot Prodnose implores Mr. Justice Cocklecarrot to stop and give alms for the poor. Cocklecarrot is in too much of a rush to get to court and anyway, he couldn't give a toss for the starving poor. Mr. Justice Cocklecarrot always carries his own legal papers in a large satchel even though he has more than one assistant. People are beginning to talk about the satchel and wonder at the contents, obviously something very valuable if Cocklecarrot needs to keep it by his side, always.

Cocklecarrot is the Island's Judge and is a great favourite of the Governor's. This is due to the fact that Cocklecarrot is what they call a 'hanging judge'. He loves to don the black cap at the end of a trial, thinking it makes him look rather stern but suave and debonair. The Cocklecarrot family motto is Facta Est Anima Mea Usque, Noli Me Confundere Factis (my mind is made up, don't confuse me with the facts).



Here we see Sir Frobisher Fotheringay-Featherstonhaugh, admiring his greatest treasure, the famous Mukkinese Ruby. It is said to be priceless but it carries an ancient curse since it was stolen from the Mukkinese Moghul, Ramitin III in the 11th century. Any pirate worth his salt would give his left leg for a chance of stealing that ruby.

This thread is getting more and more interesting... and... hilarious! 
I love this Latin!

Thank you, so glad you are enjoying it.   


The last couple of days I have been doing a bit of a trial layout. I am laying out a lot of unpainted and unfinished stuff just to get an idea of what needs doing before the big game in November. There will be 4 separate tables but they are interconnected by sea (in my imagination). Table 4 remains a closely guarded secret and is likely to remain so until the game begins. The other tables are Government House and it's environs, the chain of small islands and the big table has the dockyard a sort of floating town and the route to a sandy cove which leads to the Government House table. Clear as mud, eh?



The kitchen with 3 of the tables in view, on the left table Government House, then the docks on the big table and the island chain in the distance by the back door.





The island chain. I intend to inter-connect the foam islands with rope bridges (needs a sea mat).



Government House.



In the foreground, the sandy cove which will lead to Government House.

Thank you, Rui.

You're right there, my friend! I've just spent all morning packing it away again as Milady returns to the old ancestral abode tomorrow after her sojourn in the Grim North.   

[FifteensAway]

And shall we now dub, until further clarification, Table Four as Rampant Speculation?  Or, will that be yet another opaque character within the Snapcase oddiverse? 

I see a lot of rope bridges in Snapcase's future.  Link them all?  Oi.

Rampant Speculation #1: Ruins of an ancient civilization frequented by rather hazardous to encounter natives

Cocklecarrot?  Love that name!   

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

Thanks, FifteensAway, speculate rampantly away. There is an element of truth in your first guess but I am sworn to secrecy about Table 4! It will covered by a cloth when the players arrive and will only be revealed as the game progresses.
