Tutz and Treasure

 Pangea Grid has a well deserved reputation for being home to some spectacular art, and this week's visit to Treasure Island, a region built by Tutz Zabelin, is no exception! 
After our visit to the Cherry Manga installation on Craft grid mentioned in the previous post, we were all ready for some more atmospheric environments, and jumping to this region to meet with some of the Pangeans - Tutz and Marlon, Lampi, Karsten, Mys, and Kitty.

There are lots of beautiful and photogenic corners to this sim, and our limited time was a virtual guarantee that we wouldn't get to explore every part of the place, but that is the point of the safari, really - you get a general idea of a place, and then you can return to inspect it in more detail with a friend, or by yourself. While we waited for everyone to arrive there was some good humor on the dock...
Mys Tigerpaw: hello everyone :0)... oh darn, were we supposed to be medieval today? you all look great
Marlon Wayne: Mys has a time machine, she comes from the future 
Mys Tigerpaw: well i am  a bit more medieval now, no?
Mys Tigerpaw looking very medieval indeed
Karsten Runningbear -> en: A wonderful damsel :)
Marlon Wayne -> en: The gallows is waiting for Karsten 
Mys Tigerpaw: lol
Karsten Runningbear -> en: Only after I killed Marlon.
Marlon Wayne -> en: my sword is sharpened 
Tutz and Marlon, Treasure Island's top pirate duo,
with Lampithaler artist in the background
Karsten Runningbear -> en: My bow has greater range
Marlon Wayne -> en: ok peace 
Karsten Runningbear -> en: Only if you swear loyalty to me and hand over the land
Tutz Zabelin: no nooo
Mys Tigerpaw: omg, that is fighting talk
Karsten Runningbear... a rebel in Tortuga?
Marlon Wayne -> en: Tutz, Karsten wants to take over Treasure Island 
Thirza Ember: please, no killing during the Safari. After, it's OK
Marlon Wayne -> en: we are friendly Thirza 
Mys Tigerpaw: hello new comers
Tutz Zabelin: Hello and welcome Malburns and Jupiter
Malburns Craftster: Hi all
Jupiter Rowland: Hi to the locals!
Marlon Wayne -> en: welcome to Pangea 
Jupiter Rowland: Roll call, anyone missing?
Alexey Kazarovic: Wow... It worked.... :D I'm happy
Tosha Tyran: I am here
Beth Ghostraven: If you're not here, please raise your hand
Forest Azure: /me raises two
Tutz Zabelin: okej,, lets start
Safari descends on the dock at Treasure Island
Tutz Zabelin: welcome to Pangea and Treasure Island. About myself: I am from Sweden and my English is not very good. Like many others I started in SL in 2006. About 10 years ago I came to Open Sim, Zandrama Grid. There I also met Marlon :). Marlon has been my mentor and mainstay during the years we have known each other and I would not have succeeded in developing as I have done without his support. Just over 3 years ago, Marlon started Pangea. We are not so many who live and are active here as Pangea is not openly free to join. Visitors are always welcome but If you want to live here, it goes through Marlon. I want to take the opportunity to send a big thank you to Kitty Sarrasine, our coder cat who purrfectly manages the operation of Pangea. Without her, we probably wouldn't make it.
Coder cat Kitty Sarrasine
James.Atlloud: coder cat :)
Alexey Kazarovic: Wow... congratulations to all...
Tutz Zabelin: Here on Pangea I have built about 10 small sims that you can find around sim Welcome. About 10 bigger ones and 4 bigger ones that are not published yet. Treasure Island is one of the first sims I started building here in Pangea at the request of Marlon. I was at first not so happy about building a tropical swim but that changed quickly :)). 
Tutz Zabelin: Here on Treasure Island, in addition to the town, there is a mine, a swamp and an inn on the other side of the island. There is also a gallows hill and at the harbor you can find Jack Sparrow.
Thirza Ember: gallows... for Karsten, I believe
Karsten Runningbear -> en: Why always the little ones?
Tosha Tyran: jack sparrow??? cool... the real one or that johnny depp?
Forest Azure: /me hopes it is depp
Star Ravenhurst: Me too Forest
Tutz Zabelin: I am very happy and honored that Thirza Ember takes HG safari here to Pangea and Treasure Island and you are now warmly welcomed and free to look around.
 Marlon Wayne: Every journey begins and every journey sometimes ends at a different destination due to mistakes, successful days lead in the wrong direction if you are careless. But every wrong direction is a sign of a reversal. Fame, honor and power right up to the sinking is our memory of what was once the most powerful ship on earth, the Royal Fortune with its captain Bartolomeo Roberts and his crew. r land and our beloved dive bars in sight. But almost everyone always goes on a new trip with the most powerful ship of all ships, invented with madness and with madness on board. On the ship of fools. HA HA HA
Marlon Wayne: What was it that made our fathers pirates, sea robbers and privateers of the oceans? It was their unconditional desire to escape from bondage and captivity, the unending longing for freedom and the discovery of new goals.
Thirza Ember: i thought it was gold....
Forest Azure: lol... i think so too
Mys Tigerpaw: giggles* i think thirza hit the head of the nail
Karsten Runningbear -> en: Anyone who finds gold has to hand it in to the pub
Tutz Zabelin: it is very easy get lost in the town
Marlon Wayne: Tutz, we show the Guests now your sim
Tutz Zabelin: okej,, follow me
... and off we went on a magnificent march all around the island.
First, through the town, taking a quick glance at the shops and market stalls along the way...
...Then out into the country, past woods and fields and cottages.
Tutz Zabelin: i go too fast??
Thirza Ember: ahah no i'm trying to get photos of you all
Forest.Azure: oops... no shoes
James.Atlloud: oh no Forest!
Mys Tigerpaw: horse shit is just grains and grass, nothing to worry about, iut is not like dog shit :0)
Tutz Zabelin: there are things to look at but you do later :)
On the beautiful bridge we saw some alarming large paw prints...
Forest.Azure: oh, it's your footsteps, kitty!
Alexey.Kazarovic: Hey Tutz what are the dimensions of this region?
Marlon Wayne: 512x512
Thirza Ember: this is a running safari! I am glad I had a good dinner
Mys Tigerpaw: its a fitness challenge
Luna Lunaria: Kudos to the ones running the grid. I've been on max graphics for awhile now with no lag
Alexey.Kazarovic: lol beautiful
Tutz Zabelin: we have some farmers here too.
Alexey Kazarovic: match with my project
Cherry Manga: very photogenic region ♥
James Atlloud: Yes, me too. the grid is doing so well.
Karsten Runningbear -> en: Phew, so much walking... horse, good idea

Tutz leads the way
James.Atlloud: Wow - Governor Linden called and she wants to know if you're available to build roads!
Mys Tigerpaw: i know"!! tutz is a marvel at roads
Luna Lunaria: Nice work on the region :-)
Tosha.Tyran: it really looks like a good place for those poor pirates to get some rest :)
Thirza Ember: there is so much to come back and explore here, we have passed many interesting buildings
Marlon Wayne -> en: From the harbor you can also take a boat to the sim 
Lorenza Colicigno: really interesting work
Tutz Zabelin: no one to be hanged today
James.Atlloud: awww ...and I bought tickets!
Mys Tigerpaw: well I guess we could hang Karsten
Tosha Tyran: I am with James, I also have my tickets bought
Karsten Runningbear -> en: Tosha, you are welcome to test hang
James.Atlloud: ha ha ha
 Marlon Wayne: Where people dropped anchor in some countries, they found peace, peace and often a deep love until they set off again on the endless oceans with a farewell that stayed in their hearts forever. But endless days at sea, the carloading of the most powerful ships that brought everything and the most valuable treasures of the royal families on board and after long carboard journeys, land and our beloved dive bars were always in sight.

We kept going until we found a delicious banquet laid out on the table.... but really, there was not time to snack, since we were close to the treasure cave!
Pretty soon we were in the company of the Guardians of the Gold...
...there is a delicious mix of gorgeous and ghoulish on this region, which makes you think of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novel, which managed to alarm and delight children of all ages even today, 150 years after it was first published.
From the treasure cave the tunnel continues, finally coming out in the fine fresh air of the coast.
Tosha Tyran: wow the tunnel is uber cool
Alexey Kazarovic: Finally we see the stars
Thirza Ember: congratulations Alexy for surviving so long on your first Safari
Alexey Kazarovic: Thank you :D
