Hunt for Buried Treasure

[sirhugs]

MC(s) set off on treasure hunt.

Is it a solo like Lara Croft or Alan Quartermain?
Or a married couple?
Or a familly group?
Or unrelated co-workers?

Is the jeopardy created by pirates? Or indigenous guards? What form should it take?

What sort of hilarity ensues to save our MC(s) from the gang plank or stew pot?

What is the happy ending?

1. Unrelated couple - bored rich girl & “expert” jungle guide (in reality a former theme park boat operator)
2. Captured by cannibals, stripped naked and thrown together in a bamboo cage
3. Male is forced to participate in physical tasks vs. natives for entertainment purposes - like Scheherazade, each task he does - surviving the tiger pit, dancing with fire sticks, etc. - keeps the couple out of the stew pot one more day.
4. Rescued by mercenaries hired by rich girl’s daddy. Plot twist: she’s pregnant from all the nights in the bamboo cage with guide guy.

Excentric billionaire buries a treasure in gold bullion, and publicises this on the internet, saying he has left a bread crumb trail of clues.

Those embarking on the treasure hunt discover that it is quite an unusual bread crumb trail. To obtain the clues certain acts of a sexual nature must be performed, acts that become more and more depraved the further on the trail one is.

(The exact nature of these acts left up to the writer as is the mechanism by which performing these acts lead to the discovery of the clues).

Eccentric billionaire invites house party to his enormous mansion.

Offers a mere hundred grand as prize to the male and female winners of his new game:

Husbands and wives are separated into the two halves of the house. Each individual is allotted a set of clues which lead via different routes, upon solving, to a central room where there is a king size bed. Only one wife and one husband can enter at any one time from each side. And there is one final task which must be performed before the prize can be claimed...

Just the phrase ‘gang plank’ has me thinking. It’s not something to be avoided. On the contrary, in this pirate story gang plank gets a whole new meaning.

Some petty misunderstanding has male and female MCs hating each other from the get-go. But still they work together in the search for the treasure. Eventually they find it, but through some quirk of fate, they lose it.

But they are left with each other, and are astonished to find that they are very much in love. They have found the true treasure of life after all: each other.

Yeah, gag me with a spoon. But that kind of shit sells. <cough> Romancing the Stone<cough>

I may actually have something along these generic lines, in the works.
So, just to get a feel for public opinion... I have a doggirl who is going to set off with a tavern buddy into a strange world, simply because she's obsessed with collecting shiny things. All the shiny things. Obviously, with the cost of an expedition and all that, her tavern buddy's motives are not nearly as innocent, and more aimed at stealing whatever mysterious artefacts can be found in the otherworldly place.

should it be the guide's sperm that hit? Surely some of the captors had their way with her- might be interestng to leave a cliffhanger over paternity?

is it a spaceopera? I love a good smutty space opera.

I've never actually written a space opera, so no. Though that genre does sit heavily in the background, waiting.
It's more... "Journey to the Centre of the Earth". With a few bits of inspiration stolen from Tomb Raider's "Cradle of Life".

Guide’s, yes. She’s too skinny and flat-chested for the natives. The native women are all SSBBW. I was thinking one of the guide’s tasks would be to fuck one of the Chiefs wives as a birthday present though...
