Captain Braunsfeld Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) The tension was rising in the court room of Pontelli. Judge Enrico Fineman was under stress. He had not expected a trial against the Mayor of Pontelli, Alberto da Pontelli. The prosecutress, Lady Asma April, was just closing her plea: "This monkey business that is going on is just unbelievable. This man is a member of the Eslandolean Parliamant - and what is the first thing he does? He brings his monkey to the Hall of Eslandola! What a disgrace! I ask you: Does this man have no honour in himself? Does he think he can make a fool of Eslandola? That he can subject Pontelli to ridicule?" "Do you think that a man like Alberto should continue to be a member of the Parliament? I very much doubt so!" Alberto had never felt so bad in his whole life. Now this strange woman was after him, after he had done so much for Pontelli and Eslandola. Lady April had finished her plea. Judge Enrico Fineman cleared his throat to announce the verdict: "Alberto da Pontelli. The court wants you to retire as a member of the Eslandolean Parliament. Will you accept the verdict." "Yes, I will", Alberto replied quietly. "That is not enough", Lady April shouted, "he also has to step down from his position as Mayor!" Judge Fineman hesitated for a moment: "Alberto, will you also step down from your role as Mayor of Pontelli?" "Yes, I will", Alberto replied quietly. The Judge looked at Lady Asma: "But who will be the leader of our city?" "I will", Lady April coldly returned. "And I will make Pontelli proud again!" The Judge banged his gavel and the court room fell into an uneasy silence. C&C Welcome. To leadership: Please note change in the role of Mayor on Pontelli. This is now Lady Asma April.

Capt Wolf Posted May 25, 2017 Ooh! A power play! And what do we know of Lady April? Intrigue reigns in Pontelli! And I love the courtroom build, with the different segmented areas of the court, and the frame and stone walls. Edit: How did I fail to mention those great windows? My bad. Love 'em!

Sir Stig Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) How dare she claim there are monkeys in the colonial council? There have clearly been only apes in the counvil! (Discworld reference) Does Lady Asma April also take over the colonial duties? How will the colonial council manage with the transition? Does she have enough support to exempt monkeys/apes in the colonial council? Who will then lead us forward? Stay tuned. Oh, I obviously like the story. But also the windows and the corner with shield, colored window and paintings position on the wooden/stone wall. Edited May 25, 2017 by Sir Stig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted May 25, 2017 Wow... something serious going on here! Can't wait to see what Alberto (or Lady April!) does next! Really nice build too! But what's up with that cat? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bodi Posted May 26, 2017 Intriguing story, I'd like to learn more about his mysterious lady, and the cat. Fine build, the windows are great! Gov. Guilder in the background, seems he has already recovered from his wound. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdeathgr Posted May 27, 2017 I will only say one thing and one thing only: That Lady Asma surely has the looks but is very devious, so fellow Pontellians, beware!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks - well, we know little of Lady April. Let's see what is in store. On 5/25/2017 at 9:44 PM, Sir Stig said: How dare she claim there are monkeys in the colonial council?

But also the windows and the corner with shield, colored window and paintings position on the wooden/stone wall. Lady Asma is not planning to take over colonial duties. She seems to be focussing on Pontelli. On 5/25/2017 at 10:20 PM, Kai NRG said: Wow... something serious going on here! Can't wait to see what Alberto (or Lady April!) does next!

The man seems to be unharmed. 6 hours ago, blackdeathgr said: I will only say one thing and one thing only: That Lady Asma surely has the looks but is very devious, so fellow Pontellians, beware!!!
