Tanotrooper Posted December 4, 2008 Hello everyone, I bought the advent calendar and thought I should do something special with it, as it is the first time anything like this has been made for castle fans. I present to you (4 days too late though ) : the story of Dave. Day I Come forwards and listen, to the tale of Dave for he wasn't rich, he was still very brave! He lived in a box, a box that was sealed a weird little box, a calendar it seemed! And although the number of languages was very very much, the designers of the box forgot to write it in Dutch... On the front were a lot of numbers, counting down to one day, and on the ground was a map with wich one could play. Then, on the first day the first box was torn, and the hero of our story, brave Dave was born! In his hand he had a spear with wich he could thrust, but the only thing he saw was a lot of white dust... Day II On the second day in the second box, a little bag was found and for no obvious reason, it just fell down on the ground. The moment he saw it, he thrusted his spear, and inside the bag he found lots of playwear. So he started building as fast as he could, For the bricks were made of stone, not out of wood. After it was finished, it appeared Dave was smart, for now he atleast had something to guard! Day 3,4,5 are coming tomorrow, it's a busy week TT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tanotrooper Posted December 5, 2008 DAY III On the third day it was the box with number three, on wich a lovely lady Dave could see Sadly the love he could feel was just for a pile of steel. He threw his weapon in despair and the bag he hit had few pieces but lots of air... He put al the pieces onto a stack, and they appeared to form an armour rack. He assembled the helmet, and as much as he wanted him, he, a simple soldier, had to stay loyal to the feodal system... DAY IV On the fourth day, the fourth box brought fear, as it contained a sign saying death was near. Nevertheless Dave opened the bag as he had done before, and scattered the pieces of bone onto the floor. He assembled him as good as possible, and ended by placing onto his body, the skull. Dave looked at it, it's eyes filled with flare, and wondered is there something in his skull except air? The skeleton was alive, and hands were shaken as one, for peace between two different castle races was become. End for now, the rest hopefully tomorrow :) Thanks for the comments BTW :D TT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Holy Diver Posted December 6, 2008 I wish I got this calender so I could recreate Dave's quest. "The skeleton was alive, and hands were shaken as one, for peace between two different castle races was become." Most epic line ever. I can't wait to see the rest (especially Dave's reaction to the busty maiden). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Green Hair Posted December 27, 2008 Ah very nice story so far! The idea of making a story out of it is really good, hope you'll finish it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanotrooper Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) Putting the pictures on BS right now (took forever to find a good zipping programme), a lot of pictures though From now one the pictures tell the story, and I'll put the gallery here when it's online. (well the reason is I'd need several pages of the thread to post all the pictures and there is no need for words ) Anyway, there is a bonus 25th day TT Edited December 27, 2008 by Tanotrooper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
