[NAM vs OL] A suspicious order at the Lighthouse of Dracus

[TitusV]

"Grump, how isolated could a lighthouse be?"

Ed Spill didn't know wether he should be happy or weeping.

His great evaluation of the Pine Sol factory had given him a chance on promotion, and he had been glad to accept. Had, past perfect. He hadn't known that the promotion was from evaluating factories to evaluating lighthouses. See wether they were guarded in all safety, with respect for environmental blabla and wellbeing of the coast guards.

In se, that wouldn't have been so bad (everything but having to see that awful Lord Damaximus again!) he had even bought a new costum (freshly ironed by his mum), but well... Noone had told him to expect this: he was standing on probably the smallest isle in the (un)known world looking to the oldest lighthouse in that same (un)known world. And not only the oldest, also the dirtiest. He was afraid his costum would be rubbish after this visit... And his mum certainly wouldn't like that. Anyway, time to inspect the lighthouse...

"Have you lost anything?"

Yup, failed in the category warm welcome to strangers.

Spill: "Yes, that is no, I've come here to inspect this lighthouse. See wether it is guarded in all safety, with respect for environmental blabla and wellbeing of the coast guards, you know."

A sudden tought ocurred to him: "Wait, your boss isn't called Damaximus is he?"

Guard: "Nope. I'll call the boss, t-he's doing a tucky."

Aaand failed in the category boss helping workers.

Boss: "You there? Who are you? Make you known or you'll get it in the neck!"

Spill, afraid the boss might be some hippykicking relative of Damaximus: "Hello Sir, I'm Inspector Ed Spill, and I'm here to see wether the lighthouse is guarded in all safety, with respect for environmental blabla and wellbeing of the coast guards, you know."

Boss: "Hmmm. I'll give you a tour then. Don't want bad relations with the Commission for Maintanance, Repair and Erection of Lighthouse in the Royal Region of Islands Known By Absolutely Noone. But not like we care about safety-regulations ot he environmental blabla here, you see?."

Spill: "True story." The boss stenched like pigs. Spoiled pigs.

Boss: "Actually, your quite lucky: we have just gotten a cargo of about three tons of cleaning detergent, you see."

Spill did more smell than see it: "Yes, I know that. Pine Sol, isn't it? I hate that thing!"

He was sure his theory of Damaximus and the Boss of the lighthouse being in league against him was confirmed. "Let's see..."

Spill took up the bill. 3 tons of Pine Sol, these men were crazy! Why on earth (if they were still on earth, this island was so isolated he wasn't sure anymore) would someone need so much cleaning detergent? Well, it was not his problem, and he wanted to be gone from this godforsaken lighthouse.

Next thing on his list: insurances.

Spill: "May I see your insurance please?"

Boss: "Here here, we're very ensured, you see?" While handing over some sandy papers.

Insurance: this Pine Sol was made with respect for the environmental blabla -Spill didn't believe a word of that - and safety regulations for it's workers. That was true, if you didn't see pinguins as workers. If it doesn't remove all traces left by your latest crime, you can ask for a refund here:...

Now, that was interesting!

Spill: "Boss, what does th..."

He is interrupted by a large thunderclap.

Spill: "What was that? That wasn't the thunder; it were firing cannons! Take me up to the top, boss!"

So, here my build finally is! I hope you like it, and it will also be used in the Faction Action category of the Summer Joust, now guess wich faction

I'm not totally satisfied with the result, so CC is very welcome!

It also has lighting, I'm sorry for the bad background but I needed a dark place.

That's a good entry !

I like the sloped wall on the entrance of the lighthouse ! And also the window at sea level.

[Elostirion]

Some fantastic techniques: The wall of the lighthouse, the rocks, and especially the wooden pier look absolutely fantastic.

Great entry!

Your photography still has room for improvement, however it has already become a lot better if you ask me.

[Captain Genaro]

You may not be satisfied, but I think it's a fantastic entry. I really like the cross-window and the rock work is phenomenal. The top looks very nice as well, and I'm glad to see that someone has finally decided to send an inspector to these shady, out of the way operations. It's about time someone puts an end to this business!

Hopefully the finale will be up soon.

[TitusV]

Thanks guys!

Very nice work! Your rock and wall building skills are great as usual and so is the vegetation. Only thing that strikes me as odd is the lower part of the tower (the spot you used some diagonally placed windows etc). But all the rest including the pier and the 1st dimly lit photo rock!

Very nice creation! Love the texture on the turret!
