Well and truly into it now, so much so I'm way behind on posting here.
Long John is almost to the point where he can eat Ambrosia and become an immortal.
I have to say, I'm kinda over sculpture and painting right now, I had a mad panic that I wouldn't get it done in time and had 3 sims levelling it at the same time for days.
I am still a bit concerned about how I manage to sculpt and paint Mad Bart as an elder given I have made him my sculptor and painter and I'm a bit worried that Juliet will pass on before she can finish. I'm really reluctant to go again with another sim. Can anyone advise me on the timing of this?
Dogs are freakin awesome. They were a complete accident coming into my family, but I am so pleased that they came. I've made over 300,000 simoleons from finding gems and ores, they have really made life easy with furniture and moodlets.
Doc Moe also snagged the moodlet manager which means that my sims haven't had to sleep in weeks, makes it much easier to supermax those skills.
Anyhoo, I'm loving this challenge, so absorbing. Hopefully I'll remember to keep taking screenshots.
On with the Show!
Chapter 3 - The Mysterious Cave!Ships Log - Day 13.
Work on the Hesperus is advancing. Surgeon Moe has excelled himself in scavenging the wreckage and my Ship's wife Juliet is acting as carpenter, fashioning furniture and fittings from the nearby woods.
The lad, Mad Bart is living up to his namesake, and growing larger every day. The boy is a fool, and is proving next to useless as a cabin boy.
Surgeon Moe has taken a shining to the lad, and he spends most days in the company of Moe or his mother, which is fine by me. Apparently he has had a birthday, but I have lost interest. It seems he was not born with sea air in his nostrils.
I just hope he is less dim witted as he grows.
The lad spends his time tormenting me,
when he is not following his mother in useless artistic endeavours.
When I am not dreaming of the open sea, the stranger in the sky haunts my memories. A few nights ago, I was surveying the grounds when it happened again....
My assignment with Captain Hogan progresses and I am being accepted as one of his crew. If my family continues to disappoint, I may be forced to overthrow their officers and take to the sea in the Diner. The Ship's wife has been complaining that my time away has affected my girth, but I haven't noticed.
My dreams are getting progressively worse, and I am starting to question my sanity. By Neptune's Bloody Breath! I swear it feels as if it were all real...
Waking from the nightmare, I found myself dazed and strangely drawn to a siren's call outside.
An unearthly green glow filled the sky, and the siren's song beckoned me on to a strange copse on the cliff. How is it that I hadn't noticed it here before?
There, behind some ancient rocks was a darkened cave. My curiosity knew no bounds, I had to look inside.
Avast! A secret passage...
Author's Note - I can't believed I learned athletics from opening that door... doh!By the Kraken's right nostril! Inside was a cache of supplies, a writing desk, a dusty tome and a strange skull.
I sat down and started to read...
Next... The Journal of Deadly Selkirk!
