The island of sacrifices

Our warbands have set sail for the island of sacrifices in the lustrian cost, chasing rumours of a sacred pool filled with treasure in the ruins of an ancient temple to Sotek

The beautiful amazons are the first to land, sprinting across the jungle to the pool

Further afield the lizardmen march in line to the battlefield

While elves and pirates eye each other warily before trading shots

Covered by a heavy downpour the tattooed warrior women are first to the sacred site

While skinks and sauruses enter the jungle to get some cover from the shooting

One of the amazons falls into a quicksand pit, but protected just by a bronze shield and a leather bikini manages to drag herself out

Another skink stumbles on some hallucinogen fungus, which have no effect on his cold metabolism

The pirates meanwhile have avoided the central scrum and charge straight for the elves

In the pool meanwhile an amazon falls prey to the local fauna

While her sisters take care of an adventurous elf

The jungle is restless today, and another amazon falls to the attacks of a grapplevine

Another carnivorous plant emerges from the pool itself and kills the amazonian priestess

By then the lizardmen have finally reached the pool

While elves and pirates are rather busy killing each other in the shadow of a statue to Sotek

With their leader gone and two treasures fished out of the pool, the amazons opt for a timely retreat

So do the remaining elves, leaving lizardmen and pirates to duke it out

One by one skinks and saurus warriors fall to the piratical blades and quit, ending the skirmish with the sea raiders in control of the plundered pool

The temple of Kara

Brave bands of aventurers explore the delta.of the Amaxon and meet in the temple of Kara. An abandoned pyramid ripe for plundering in the lustrian jungle

The lizardmen take to the field decided to recover the ancient relics

But are soon attacked by a band of amazons inent on the same

The brave warrior women also attack a party of elves, while on the backgound a pirate crew also joins the fight

The skinks made a beeline for the pyramid

While their leader was slaughtered among the trees

On the other side of the complex meanwhile pirates and amazons were double teaming the elves, who held the enemy at spear range

Left unopposed the pirate captain and one of his men grabbed the treasure on top of the shrine to Sotek

While a saurus held onto a sacred plaque despite the local flora

After killing two saurus and the skink priest the amazon champion was killed by a lashworm

While the skinks rushed along the forst terrace a warrior woman climbed to the top of the temple

Dodging some swarms on the way

And defending the top treasure from the swarming lizardmen

Another of the diminutive creatures was.killed by the pirate's duelling pistol

And after securing their third treasure the amazons made their escape

Joined sokn by the lizardmen

And the badly mauled elves

The pirates were thus left in control of the field but it was a bitter victory, since most of their crew was ooa and one of the ofdivers was even savrificed by the vengeful lizardmen!

Temple city

Several lizardmen inspired buildings to make a small temple complex set in Lustria

First a big pyramid built up from stacked terraces of polystyrene. The structure was basecoated black and then I drybrushed it with two tones of grey. Some green was added using flock, miniature palm trees and aquarium plants. I carved some glyphs on the staircase using a sharpened pencil, which were then painted using gehenna gold and seraphim sepia wash.

Next came a small temple dedicated to Sotek and painted following the same process

When adding the flock I followed the clefts and separations of the stone blocks, since those would be the best place for moss to grow

A sacrificial altar was also a must, inspired on mayan tzompantlis with plastic gems for the skull glyph's eyes

And last but not least two statues dedicated to Sotek
