Jacob Nion Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) In King's Port, two unlucky sailors of the former Eslandolan ship Queen of Terreli spend their miresable lifes being arrested in the harbour prison. Not that those two sailors were being cought while defending their ship against L'olius. Their defense was more about the ship's galley, and in this case defending means "hiding". But perhaps their misery will find an end by a mysterious hooded person on a highly classified mission appears... Hey, you! You two! Poor souls sitting in this reeking lock-up. What if I told you there's a way out of this pit? There is a way, right there. The door, sir. Shut up, you pillock! He sure knows what a door is. That was a rhetological question! Aye, sir, we would do anything, I would do anything to get off of this morron. Excellent. I hold the key to your liberty, and by key I mean literally the key for that door. There's only one small little thing I want you to do. You most certainly have heard -even in your current dwelling- that the trial against L'Olius hast began. I want you to go to the courthouse, break into the chamber of evidences and replace L'Olius letter of marque by this one. It is an almost perfect forgery- almost. Just false enough for the judges to detect, hehehe... Fine. Is marc a friend of L'olius? What? No! It is mar-que, the letter is signed by the governor of Terraversa. I'm pretty sure the governor's name isn't marquez. More like- Let it go! Ok? Just listen. It doesn't matter, the only thing you guys have to do is finding the letter that looks exactly like this one and swap them. "To Enrique d'escondido, most loyal servant of the Eslandolan Trade Company known as-" Be quiet, for Hera's mercy!That was the wrong letter, give it back! So you're Enrique and working for- Stop talking you morron! My name is classified! Forget about that, take the goddamn key and go swap the letter, will you? No worries Senor classified. The job's as good as done. Later, in the chamber of evidences... 'aight. There like a thousand letters! Where do we start searching. May it's that one, under the pineapple on top of this ridiculous high stacked up pile of evidences. And why should it be exactly this special single letter on top of that ridiculous high stacked pile of evidences, you jerk? 'don't know. But if you search things, better first look at places where you look at last. 'Cause things you're searching for are always at the place you look at last. Ehhh...yeah, makes sense..I guess. Aight, climb up and check it. Aye, boss. What d'you think why there's a pineapple? Because it's an evidence, idiot! Now hurry and get your bricks up there! The Mardier scum ain't be far off. And indeed, on the floor right outside of this very chamber two Mardierans meet each other... Wait! Who's there? A friend to this ground, and liegeman to the Mardierans. Welcome, good Horatio! Holla, Marcellus! Have you had quiet guard? Not a mouse stirring. Say, good friend, what's thy business at my watch? 'Tis a letter that hath lain long now in this chamber, under thy diligent eyes. Ouch! Damnit bloody pineapple! Methinks I heareth a yond clamour. 'Tmust come from the Evidence's room! Something's rotten in the state of Mardier. Stay, scoundrel, speak: what is thy matter with this pineapple? I've got the letter! But it's not from marquez, boss. Maybe next one. _______________________________________________________________________ And the whole build: Edited April 25, 2016 by Jacob Nion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayrlego Posted April 26, 2016 Hilarious! And a great build as well! The way the building sits on the beach is really good, and of course the stone work is great! Another detail that really catches my eye is the brick built cannon. The way the evidence chamber is included under the prison section is also very clever. Lastly I'd like to comment on the Mardierian guards. I guess one of the advantages of fleshies is you can effectively use yellow as a clothing colour, and in this case it looks really great. All over a great build that I shall be carefully studying for ideas for some time to come! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzy MacFuzz Posted April 26, 2016 Are Mardier ready to face Eslandola at the trial? 'No worries Senor classified. The job's as good as done.' And with a build like this one, can there be any chance they won't win their case? 'That was a rhetological question!' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TitusV Posted April 26, 2016 Great! The story is marvellous, and only getting better! I really like your style of building, as seen in the above build, and the way you combined the two builds is just fantastic. By the way, I love your helbard. Can I borrow that technique?

Kai NRG Posted April 26, 2016 Really like the texturing you've got here Jacob, the various archways are great and so is the water! Great job cramming so many scenes on to this vig too with the underground section! I wish you a joyful second place! The clutter in the office is great. Looks just like what I envision all Mardier offices to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Braunsfeld Posted April 26, 2016 Fine build, and I still don't get the story... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Puvel Posted April 26, 2016 That's an evil looking harbour Very fine build though! The prison window is brilliant and the clutter in the evidence room is great. Wonder how the teddy bear and meat cleaver are connected, but I guess that's from a different story Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mpyromaxos Posted April 26, 2016 Great built!! Loved the turret and the dungeon! Good job with the story also!! It was hilarious!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soccerkid6 Posted April 27, 2016 Love the dialogue in this story Superb dungeon area with the run down stone walls, and low barred window Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bregir Posted April 28, 2016 I doubt Señor Classified is very happy with his newly recruited agents... :P :D Very amusing, Jacob, and great build to go with it, as always. The exterior is a tad too textured for my tastes, but I can appreciate the skill and technique put into it. The details and composition is just great. My favourite picture is the one with the guards busting in, just as the "smarter Eslandian" is falling down from the stack of evidence - very clever posing with that detached leg! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tezclatipoca Posted April 28, 2016 Excellent design ! I like this build, particularly the cell lightly below the street level and that nice little tower... Just great ! And the story is hilarious ! Good job ! I have to admit that the Mardier side is more likely to win ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garmadon Posted April 29, 2016 Very funny story, JN, and excellent build as well! The cage and, well, the other cage, are great, and the cluttered office looks very nice as well - though I am wondering how the Mardierians ever find anything either! I do agree with Bregir that overall the exterior could use a few less studs, but very nice job for all that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elostirion Posted April 30, 2016 Great wall design, the grill in the wall looks nice, minfig posing and presentation are just great. Definitely the best entry to the challenge in my opinion. My favourite part is how the interior scene looks really full and crowded with stuff. Often Lego interior scenes just look empty and all cleaned up, yours looks realistic. I love it.
