McVenture

Bruce
My name is McVenture, son of the late George McVenture, an archaeologist and adventurer (when he had some spare time). I've travelled the world with him in the search of the treasures of our ancestors. Even now after his death, the adventure continues!
For this travel around the world, I will go with my assistant Erika: she is very clever and full of energy. Bruce, a trainee archaeologist, will also travel along: he is a little shy and clumsy, but he is a real living encyclopaedia.
We are on our way in the search of a treasure that my father had no time to discover: the treasure of the holy temple... May the adventure begin!

We are now in my father's office. Nothing was moved since his death. I think we can find here some clues about the location of the holy temple.
1|0
But... we don't even know what we're supposed to find!
2|1
I'm pretty sure we will find a map somewhere in this office.
1|0
Really? What makes you think so? I don't think George McVenture was stupid enough to leave a clue in front of everyone's eyes!
0|0
Actually... My father was not a very tidy person... We might really find a map in here.
2|1
You see?

Grrr! Piece of luck!

Come on! Let's be serious, back to work now!

Sir yes sir!

Finally there! I thought this journey would never end!
2|1
AAArgh....
0|1
What's wrong Bruce?
2|1
I don't feel very well...
1|0
Oh, what a surprise! Who wanted to have a break and eat junk food in a fast-food restaurant during the journey...?
2|1
I was too hungry! I couldn't wait any longer...
1|0
Maybe it's high time you started to think about something else than food, Bruce. Take McVenture as a model for example!
0|0
Err... Actually... I had a hamburger too and my stomach is a bit swollen.
1|0
Oh!! All apologies Mr. McVenture! *blushes*

2 nil...

Grrr!!!

You know it's sometimes hard to put up with you guys... Let's collect the required equipment before entering the temple!
0|
Hem... The door is locked...
1|0
There must be a mechanism somewhere!
2|1
Hold on, I know that statue! This is King No-Eye IX... according to the legend, his eyes could see the ghosts.
1|0
Brrr...
2|1
People say that witches tried to steal his eyes in order to concoct a potion supposed to resuscitate the dead... But this is only a legend.
1|0
Yes? So? How is that story going to help us?
0|
Look! Notches are carved on his eyes! Perfect for inserting a... stone?
1|0
Not just any stone... precious ones! Look, the room is full of diamonds!
0|
Help me pick up as many as possible! I'll never make it alone.

Congratulations Bruce, this time you rocked!
2|1
Oh... Thank you *blushes*
2|1
Oh no, it's dark in here...I hate being in the dark...
1|0
Haha! Bruce, you are a real baby!
0|1,0
Be careful where you set your feet.
1|0
HaaAAAaaaaAAAAaaaa!!!!!! Something's just touched me!
0|0
Hem... That was just my arm, Erika, don't panic.
2|1
Who's the baby now?
1|0
Pff! It was just a reflex...
0|1,0
I picked up a light. Let's move on!
0|
Look! There's a mechanism on the door. We must find cog wheels.
1|0
A bit like a clock, right?
2|1
Well, never mind then. At least we tried, uh! Where the way out again?
0|1
Hold on Bruce! I'd rather you helped me find the wheels: they have to be somewhere in this room.
1|0
Scared, are you, Bruce? Haha
2|1
No no... Well a little...
0|1,0
Let's set to work!
1|0
It's so beautiful in here! So there was a cave hidden in the temple!
0|
A cave full of diamonds! How is it possible! So that was the mystery!
2|1
Look! There's a treasure over there!
0|1,0
Very well! Collect all the valuable items! The treasure will be exhibited in my father's museum.
1|0
That makes a change after the dinosaurs...!
2|1
I like dinosaurs...
0|1,0
Father would be so proud to see all this! Grab your rucksacks and remember we only take valuable items!
1|0
We are back!
2|1
My dear dinosaurs, we are finally home.
0|1
You know Bruce, fossils don't talk...
1|0
We must tidy up the main hall if we want to exhibit our latest discoveries.

I agree with you! Let's hurry up!

1
Oh, we didn't do much, Sir...
2
I'm indeed quite proud of what I've done during this adventure! You and I have been a great pair since I became your apprentice, Mr. McVenture,

What do you mean? How about me? I also helped Mr. McVenture a lot! Probably more than you did...!

More than I? You would get lost in a monument for tourists!
