Kai NRG Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Across the winding paths of the Rakath mountains a group of three picked their way cautiously. Two were explorers from Petraea University - a Doctor and his assistant - the other was their guide. "Here we are, sirs," began the guide. "But I beg of you, do not enter! Legend has it that there is a curse upon the remains of the dead king entombed here, a curse that will be lifted if he is disturbed!" "It's just superstition, man!" the Doctor replied. "Lead on." Trembling, the guide advanced into the dark cave, holding his torch up before him. After him came the assistant, and as he stepped before the coffin, he drew a lever from beneath his jerkin. In a low voice the Doctor exclaimed, "At last! Open it, that we may be sure we are the first." The assistant drew near, but just before he laid the tool to the crack in the coffin a cry of terror rang out from their guide. "Look!" he faltered. They all looked - and there, in the corner was a lurid orange light, coming undoubtedly from the head of the coffin itself. Awed, the assistant stepped backwards, but the guide was not waiting. Dropping his torch - which flared up breifly and then went out, leaving only the faint glow from the coffin - he rushed past his companions out into the air. They were not long to follow suit. "Surely it was merely our imaginations!" exclaimed the Doctor, as they stood outside looking at each other's frightened faces. "It had to have been," his assistant replied positively. But neither seemed inclined to return, and when the guide, still trembling, began to descend the slope they glanced at each other and followed him. A shot of the entire tomb interior: Comments and criticism welcome! Quote
LittleJohn Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Great build, I really like the chest inside the tomb Quote
MassEditor Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I always enjoy seeing your rockwork and this is definitely no exception. The cave entrance looks great too, as does the interior. The coffin looks like it certainly contains something evil (the light is a great touch). Great choice of head for the assistant, I know I'd be sweating in this situation! Look forward to where this is going! Quote
Jorrith Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Awesome rockwork, nice and dark tomb, excellent story! Quote
Garmadon Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) Nice little build Kai, excellent rock-work and interior Cool symbols on the walls and great choice of faces for the group! Edited February 9, 2015 by Garmadon Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Small, but very nice. Expertly designed. (Does the word "expertly" exist?) Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Awesome Kai! Really looks like a foreboding tomb! Quote
Kai NRG Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 Thanks everyone! I always enjoy seeing your rockwork and this is definitely no exception.

Great choice of head for the assistant, I know I'd be sweating in this situation! Look forward to where this is going! Thanks ME! I was hoping for something more dramatic with the lighting, but oh well! Small, but very nice. Expertly designed. (Does the word "expertly" exist?) Of course it does, at least, when applied to me! (Seriously though, I believe it is a word!) Thanks! Awesome Kai! Really looks like a foreboding tomb! Thanks LV! I thought it might feel rather lighthearted myself, but I'm glad you saw it as foreboding! Quote
Blufiji Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 That's some awesome rock work and the feel of the build is very spooky! Quote
mrcp6d Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 The suspense you guys are building is killing me! And we're stuck with it until the 1st! Nice little MOC too by the way. I really like the custom coffin. Quote
SkaForHire Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 We have to build anticipation! Don't worry you will find out a lot more about the challenge before the 1st. Quote
-Carson Haupt- Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Very nice! The rockwork is beautiful. Quote
soccerkid6 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Very interesting development, should've buried that coffin deeper... The coffin looks great, and I like how you implemented the entrance into the rockwork Quote
Kai NRG Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 Thanks for all the comments! The suspense you guys are building is killing me! And we're stuck with it until the 1st! Nice little MOC too by the way. I really like the custom coffin. Thanks! The coffin was one of my favorite parts, in fact I still have it sitting around long after having destroyed the rest! Very nice! The rockwork is beautiful. Thanks Carson Haupt! Quote
Gideon Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I like both the rockwork and the atmosphere of the interior Quote
Bregir Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 So many exciting things going on these days, it's hard to keep up! Great little build - You've packed in a lot of details and story in a relatively small build. One wonders what will awaken from this tomb. And whether it is the same power stirring this and the vulcano - and what else such a power is planning, and what it is capable of! I'd suggest reinforcing city gates, increasing the training of th militias, and filling up the granaries! Quote

SarahJoy Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 My favorite part is the exterior rockwork. Intriguing story, and that space-age-looking-coffin has captured my curiosity. Quote

Gunman Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Really nice touch the thing with the light brick. Also the entrance is well put between the rockwork. Quote
