So, I've never actually made a playmobil story, especially not in English!
But, when I made a rainforest diorama I just had inspiration... You will see some faults, like magically appearing objects and conifers in the rainforest and the spelling won't be flawless, but I enjoy doing this. Okay, here we go!

‘So whát were you doing here, again?’
Ray Higmont sighed. Dimitri, his driver, asked him this for the fourth time.
‘I’m an archaeologist, remember? I’ve read about this old treasure, from the old indians that lived here, that’s somewhere in the rainforest over here and-’ ‘maybe,’ Dimitri interrupted him ‘maybe it’s somewhere over here, yep. And maybe these indians are still here,’ he nodded his head. ‘and maybe unicorns exist. I’m telling you boy, we should turn around so you can go to your rich, western house and read about the treasure. You don’t stand a chance here in the wild!’
(http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r624/PlaymoZoo/Story003_zpsb18ba729.jpg)
‘All right, all right, Dimitri, I know it is dangerous. But I can take care of myself. And I get a guide, right? In a week I’ll be heading home with or without that treasure.’
Dimitri still wasn’t convinced, but at least he stopped talking.
‘kay, kay, boy,’ Dimitri said after a long drive, ‘we’re where you want to be. The road ends here. ’
‘Thank you, Dim.’ Ray got out of the car, stretched his legs and took his stuff out of the car.
‘How much do I own you?’ he asked. ‘Nothing, it’s alright, boy.’
Dimitri mumbled something that sounded like ‘I don’t take money from the death.’
Ray shook his head. He must have misheard it.

Part 2:
Ray was curious who his guide would be. They said he was the best of the best, that he knew the forest like the monkeys did. How would he look? Ray imagined a bear of a guy with a good tan.
‘So you must be Ray, right?’ he heard behind him. Quickly he turned around and saw his guide.
Well, at least he was right about the tan…
(http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r624/PlaymoZoo/Story006_zps7cbcadbd.jpg)
‘Rachel Baghari, your guide,’ The girl said. ‘but you can call me Rache.’
Ray was too amazed to say anything. ‘You expected another guide, didn’t you, westerner?’ she said, and she was absolutely right. ‘uhh.. no, I didn’t, ehhr.. no.’
‘Well, you’re not good at lying, westerner,’ she laughed, ‘shall we start over, then?’
‘Yes, probably.’
‘Hi, I’m Rachel, your guide.’ ‘Hello, I’m Ray, the person you to guide.’
(http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r624/PlaymoZoo/Story007_zps7860676a.jpg)
‘So, what do you want to do?’ Rachel asked ‘I suppose you are not here for a holiday tour, are you?’
‘No, I’m here for a treasure of-’ ‘oh, you’re one of these treasure hunters looking for something old and valuable, aren’t you?’ Rachel immediately asked him.
‘In a short way, yes, I am.’ Ray said.
‘This place isn’t for wimps, you know. I mean, look around: there will be no hotels, houses… Or hospitals’
Ray got tired of all the “you can’t do this”- talk, but he still looked around for the first time. She was right, again. This place wasn’t for wimps.
(http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r624/PlaymoZoo/Story008_zps5a05bc91.jpg)
Good thing I'm no wimp, Ray thought.

Part 3
‘Hey, Ray, it’s getting dark. We should get in the tent.’ She pointed at a small yellow tent between the trees. Just one tent? Ray thought. ‘Yes, I know. It’s just one tent,’ Rachel said, like she could read his thoughts, ‘can you handle that, westerner? Not afraid of sleeping in the same tent?’
How does she do that, knowing everything I feared for?! Is it that obvious? Ray asked himself.
‘Anyway, you’ll have to be happy we have a tent for tonight,’ she said, ‘the coming nights we won’t have a tent; that would be way too heavy to take along in the jungle.’
And so the night came…
(http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r624/PlaymoZoo/Story016_zpsc17e9646.jpg)
The next day:
Ray just packed his stuff when Rachel said: ‘you can’t take all of that, westerner!’ she looked like he was trying to snuggle a dodo into the jungle. ‘What?’ Ray asked, surprised.
‘How do you want to take that all along in the jungle? That would be insane!’ she said and pointed at my two bags filled with food, rope, books and other needs. ‘you’ll have to leave the most, Ray.’
(http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r624/PlaymoZoo/Story022_zps5d0ec0bd.jpg)
Rachel said he had to leave his stuff in the tent and cover the whole tent in leaves and branches to make sure the monkeys wouldn’t steal anything.
(http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r624/PlaymoZoo/Story021_zpsd7f1d412.jpg)
He wasn’t happy with it, but he understood taking everything along was impossible.
‘so where do you want to find that treasure of you?’ Rachel asked. Ray looked at his map and thought of all the books he read about this jungle. ‘I think we should go to the North for about 700 meters,’ he said and looked again to be sure, ‘yeah, to the North.’
(http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r624/PlaymoZoo/Story023_zps6231358c.jpg)

(story telling is really fun! Thank you for the reactions, Playmoman and Bonniebeth!)

Yes it is fun, and you are doing it very well. Is that a rug or towel for the forest floor? It looks great

Thank you, it's a towel :-[

So, they walked to the North. It was really hot and Ray regretted wearing his brown jacked. He looked longingly at the short sleeves of Rachel, who was jumping and hopping over stumps like a deer. He, as a matter of fact, was stumbling and falling over the stumps like a penguin. 700 meter were way longer than he thought.
(http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r624/PlaymoZoo/Story058_zpse24094bc.jpg)
‘Can we stop for a minute, Rachel?’ he gasped. ‘what?’ she turned around, ‘already, westerner?’
‘yes, already, “guide”’ Ray was getting really tired of the whole “poor-weak-westerner”- thing.
‘I’m just not used to this heat, alright?’ he snarled. ‘Than sit down, westerner. I never said you couldn’t.’ Sulking he sat down after checking the ground. It felt like Rachel won, and he didn’t like that, but he was glad he could rest anyway.
(http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r624/PlaymoZoo/Story060_zps80bdf446.jpg)
You can say a lot about the westerner, but he has guts, Rachel thought while looking at the grumpy guy sitting on the moist ground. No good condition, but guts. Suddenly she spotted something orange in the tree above him. What…
(http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r624/PlaymoZoo/Story063_zpseb064a1f.jpg)
‘Ray. Don’t stand up.’ She said quickly. ‘I wasn’t going to, Ráche. That the thing with sitting down, you know.’ ‘No, no. I’m serious! There is eh.. Whatever you do, don’t stand up. Promise?’ he looked like he sensed something was wrong.
‘Rachel, what is going on..? I won’t stand up, I promise.’
‘Alright, there is a huge poisonous snake hissing above your head.’
‘WHÁÁÁT?!’ he yelled. He didn’t stand up, like he promised, instead he just jumped straight down. Ray, you fool! She thought. The snake got scared of the sudden movement and fell from the tree.
(http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r624/PlaymoZoo/Story065_zpsccd88bae.jpg)
‘Holy, holy, holy no!’ he squealed while landing on his back, ‘is it gone?’
‘Uhm..’ the snake fell on Ray’s belly and looked amazed by the rapid change.
WhatdoIdowhatdoIdo? Rachel asked herself.
to be (guess what!) continued :wave:
-
:o Oh dear! A snake? I can't take this suspense... :lol:
-
Really great so far! More please!
-
Great story so far! :lol:
-
Lets hope its a friendly Snake.

Lets hope its a friendly Snake.
I wouldn't be so sure about that... :P

-PART 4 (I think)-
Rachel had no time to think. She jumped forward and simply picket the snake up. The animal was moving around and made himself ready to attack, but Rachel threw it away as fast as she could.
The snake landed safely on the ferns and quickly crawled away.
(http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r624/PlaymoZoo/Story068_zpsf8e270c6.jpg)
(http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r624/PlaymoZoo/Story069_zps2d7418c8.jpg)
She gasped, thinking of what had just happened. Then she looked at Ray, who was still lying on his back. She wondered if he had any idea what happened. ‘The.. the snake is gone, Ray.’
He sat straight up and looked around ‘How?’ he asked. ‘I picked it up by its tail and threw the awful snake over there.’ And she pointed towards the ferns. Suddenly Ray started to laughing. It looked like he had the giggles. Was he getting crazy?
‘Why on earth are you laughing?!’ Rachel asked, confused. ‘It’s.. it’s just that you- you threw a poisonous snake as big as your arm,’ he stopped to what looked like laughing and chocking at the same time, ‘in the bush with you bare hands, after I jumped down from a huge plant!’
‘and that is something I never thought I would say!’ for some reason Rachel started laughing too.
Not even because it was funny, just because it was so crazy you just couldn’t be nót laughing.
(http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r624/PlaymoZoo/Story071_zps38cc1e5b.jpg)
‘shall we go, now?’ she asked after about 5 minutes non-stop laughing. ‘yeah,’ -giggle- ‘yeah, I’m done laughing,’ –giggle- ‘I guess,’ he answered. ‘Hey, Ray, I think we already walked for 700 meters, now. Where do we go?’ He looked at his map again and wondered where they were. Ah, over there, he thought, 700 meters… East… ‘That way,’ he pointed, ‘to the west. There should be the Dande Row River.’ ‘okay, let’s go then!’

Thank you, I liked putting some real plants in the diorama.
The sleeping bags are definitely a cool addition. ;)
Thanks, it's the green sleeping bag from the arctic dino- set and the yellow towel from a plus-set rolled up :)
Great work sof ar you've got a good way of telling the story and the forest scenery looks great, looking forward to seeing what happens next :)

Whew, I'm glad that Ray managed to escape that snake unharmed. This story is great!! :clap:

-PART 4-
‘I can’t believe you were actually right! We are at the Dande Row river!’ Ray almost couldn’t hear Rachel over the sound of the river. Of course, I am right, he thought.
(http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r624/PlaymoZoo/story2001_zps6d269701.jpg)
He walked a bit further and felt his socks getting wet of the moist ground.
Wow, that is one river! was his first thought after looking at the view.
(http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r624/PlaymoZoo/story2002_zps0515df5c.jpg)
His second thought was: how on earth are we going to get to the other side?!
Once again, Rachel read his mind. ‘So, how are we going to get to the other side? We can’t go through the water, it would be too dangerous. ’ she said.
He looked around and saw a big liana hanging on one of the trees. Could he…?
(http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r624/PlaymoZoo/story2007_zps878637b6.jpg)
He pointed at the liana and said: ‘we can swing over the river using that liana,’ and he walked to the tree. ‘whoa, Ray, wearing Indiana jones’ hat doesn’t make you him!’ said Rachel quickly.
‘So what did you want to do then?’ he replied ‘I must try this.’
‘okay,’ she said, ‘but you go first!’
(http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r624/PlaymoZoo/story2008_zpsc8770bea.jpg)
‘There we go!’ he said and jumped from the tree…

I didn't even notice him before. I wish Ray some more luck crossing then. At least he has Rachel to save him though. :lol:

At least he has Rachel to save him though. :lol:
Yup, if Rachel wasn't accompanying Ray on his journey to find the treasure, I wouldn't expect him to make it very far through the forest. :lol:
Btw, that river looks really cool, what did you make it out of? :)

Poor Ray... thinking he is Indiana Jones.. I blame television, children tend to play with their clickies what they see in movies or in cartoons. It might give clickies delusions of grandure. :lol:

-PART 6-
‘There we go!’ he said and jumped from the tree…
(http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r624/PlaymoZoo/story2010_zpsc9ddec7b.jpg)
For a moment he felt like he was flying. I should yell like Tarzan, went through his head for some reason. But the tree on the other side was getting very close. He had to let go and grab one of the branches, or he would get stuck in the middle of the river. Oh no, help me, he thought and he let go. His fingers were trying to grab anything they could find. Funny enough, they weren’t the first parts to find support; his feet were. They landed on the roots of a big mangrove tree. He felt he was tilting backwards towards the river. Luckily he could hold on to the branches above his head and Ray slowly stood straight up.
(http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r624/PlaymoZoo/story2012_zps62033db0.jpg)
He looked at Rachel, who was looking at him like he just turned into a flying monkey.
Ok, be cool, Ray, he thought, be cool…
‘your turn now, Rache.’ He said.
(http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r624/PlaymoZoo/story2013_zps2a0485a6.jpg)
‘Ray, I’ve done things in this forest, like stealing back my purse from monkey’s and climbing in trees to find out there is a giant spider sitting in front of me, but I’ve never, éver swung over a fast streaming river filled with alligators and leeches using only a vain!’
Oh my, are there alligators and leeches there?! Went through his head.
‘Uhh.. well, you should try it. It’s great fun!’ he said, failing on trying to be funny.
-
Excellent! You're doing a great job! The tukan and the frog aren't afraid at all... ;)
-
Btw, that river looks really cool, what did you make it out of? :)
Well, I'm just trying everything. It's all improvisation!
It's a jacked folted up like a river, with pieces of plastic over it :lol:
Excellent! You're doing a great job! The tukan and the frog aren't afraid at all... ;)
Glad you like it :)
