This is my entry for Challenge II - Defending Yer Claims, category B.
This event took place during the initial wave of exploration in New Terra, before Oleon established a permanent presence on the island.
Most revered chieftain, there have been trespassers on our sacred island!
They came from one of those huge canoes with sails big like the clouds in the sky. We met a band of their warriors in the tall forest and they were clothed in blood! They were also carrying magical blowpipes which were bellowing lightning and smoke at us. Our brave warriors were at first stricken with fear of the magic, but when we saw that they could die like any man and that their blowpipes were not as fast as ours we rallied under the ancestral cries of war and defeated the invaders. Their companions paddled back in their small canoe to their big canoe with sails like clouds. The abomination left through the mists for other waters. May the Ancestors help us to keep our waters and this sacred island safe from more of these filthy invaders!
Probably Oleon’s endeavour of pacifying Île de Zeus will not be without bloodshed either...
The whole scene
Closing in on the enemy
Brave warriors
Reload! Reload!
I see them! They can't hide in those blood-stained clothes!
My poisonous arrow hit it's mark. Another is ready!
I tried to play a bit with more direct off-camera flash to simulate sunlight, do you like it?
