CHALLENGE 6: I am Legion.

Recommended Posts

The day started like any other except today was different.

There was a very important meeting taking place at a home called the "Lion's Den".

A lion didn't really live there.

You would think so because of the name.

REQUIRED INTERIOR SCENE

Lord Legonardo and the mighty, golden and majestic Zakon GoldBlade were first to arrive.

They settled in and grabbed some vintage hop ale.

It was a bueatiful day, so they decided to drink outside.

Many moons had passed since the two last met.

There was much to discuss.

Legonardo: Hahahahah!

Zakon: Hahahaha!

Legonardo: He actually sent you his thumb's?!

Zakon: Yes! He atually sent me his thumb's!

Legonardo: Hahahaha!

Zakon:Hahaha!

Legonardo: That is dedication.

Zakon: Yes. I wonder how long we're going to wait for everyone?

Legonardo: We'll be proper drunk before anyone gets here.

Zakon: I'll drink to that!

Legonardo: Hahahaha!

Zakon: Hahaha!

The two had a merry old time waiting for the others to arrive.

Later that night, the rest of the lords arrived.

The fire was roaring.

The food was hot and very delicious.

The drink was more deliicious, not to mention very strong.

The lords enjoyed each other's company for it could be the last time they all met.

REQUIRED INTERIOR SCENE

Trian: We should get to business.

All: Aye!

Arlindus: Victor's orks are everywhere on the roads.

Varis: Aye, I plunged my spear through at least thirty on my ride here!

de Gothia: My spies tell me they are finding ork tracks all over the land.

Zakon: My people in Kaliphlin are reporting they saw Victor with the IAMS.

Legonardo: We have to stop the IAMS.

Zakon: Yes, they will be turned to dog food. Do we have our order's, Master Trian?

Trian: Yes, my Lord. You have a special assingnment in this envolope. I was ordered not to read it.

Zakon: Interesting...

Trian:The rest of us are orderd to ride to the crossroads of Historica, recruiting any able man. We are to meet Mitgardian forces and hold our borders againsts the Hand.

Arlindus: Has there been any news of the Drow?

Varis: My people have cast multiple spells to make sure they stay in exile. It will be a cold day in hell if they ever come back to Historica!

All: Aye! Hahahaha! A cold day in hell! hahaha!

de Gothia: Curse those ugly, fowl abominations!

Legonardo: So is victor aligned with Kaliphlin?

Zakon: No. The IAMS is really a terror group. They have no affiliation with the government of Kaliphlin. A power hungry lord controls the terror group.

Varis: Does the AAG have orders? To stop this lord?

Zakon: Officials have contacted us with concerns many moons ago. This is a very delicate political matter.

Trian: It could mean world war for Historica if it isn't handled with extreme care.

Zakon: Exactly.

Arlindus: Oh...

Zakon: So de Gothia, hows your lady?

deGothia: She's doing well. We've been through some stuff. How is yours?

Zakon: I heard. My wife is upstairs relaxing. She's been good.

Meanwhile in Kaliphlin....

Things have been changing in Kaliphlin.

The days grow shorter, the nights darker.

You can just feel the evil brewing.

What was Victor up to?

The AAG was on the case.

SCORED SCENE

The AAG had scouts everywhere fom the streets(sand) to the tallest towers.

Victor had been spotted many times over the course of a month.

He has always with some serious back up.

He didn't need it, obviously.

He was the most feared and powerful mage in Historica.

The IAMS was his crew of choice to roll with.

It's a little known fact this group is plotting the demise of the AAG.

But who could stop Victor? The AAG of course!

On this day one of Victor's henchmen from the IAMS was spotted alone.

The noble assassin took his chance to tail the thug.

Can you imagine the reward for discovering Victor's hideout?

Meanwhile at the Mystic Isles...

Zakon and his most trusted man arrived at Skull Point.

Remember the envelope from earlier?

The contents was an ancient spell of great power.

Only one wizard who could cast it.

Zakon and his man were greeted by the ancient sorcerer.

Nuzklak: So you come to end the world?

Zakon: hahahah! No, to save it. Unfortunatley.

Nuzklak: I have seen it in my visions.

Zakon: My visions haven't been very clear as of late.

Nuzklak: Are you prepared for the ritual?

Zakon: I'm here.

Nuzklak: Very well, we shall begin...

Zakon handed the ancient wizard the spell scroll.

The ritual began, the chaos star lifted.

the shrieking of a million souls stirred the dank air of the chamber.

The spirits filled Zakon's hollow being.

The ritual stopped.

Zakon had changed to a man god.

Chaos Star Vortex by Captain Beery, on Flickr

With Zakon in Omega God Mode or OG Mode for short, Historica stood a chance against Victor.

Enraged with the power of the devil "Legion", He jumped across Historica like a lightning bolt.

Victor's Hand was everywhere.

Historica was being attacked on all fronts except for Kaliphlin.

The battles went on for days.

Every time the Hand was crushed but at the cost of more Historicans lives.

There would be days, weeks even of peace but the enemy always came back.

Victor was planning something more wicked than any could imagine.

How many strong was his army?

Where were they hiding?

Historica was in bad shape.

The people lived in constant fear.

The people held on to hope knowing they had Zakon GoldBlade on their side.

Very easy to tell this was a beerbeard build. The wooden detailing on the house is fantastic and I like the subtle coloring differences in the tudor sections :thumbup:

Great landscape as always, where are the interior pics though? Always like to see interiors :classic:

Supersaturated flowers, beautiful woodwork, and sinister goings on...the sorting hat puts you into.... a CBB MOC! I like your experimentation with the tan plates and the stonework looks good too. Nice build.

Wow. I'm not usually a fan of the multi-colored roof approach, but you nailed it. That looks great.

I really like the woodwork on this! It would be really neat to see all your buildings arranged into a town together.

In his guide Mikel writes, "Of all the baronies in Avalonia, Antyria is certainly the most memorable. There are even a few local superstitions among the Kaliphlin/Avalonia border desert tribesman claiming Antyria is the afterlife. According to the superstitious, once one crosses the border into Antyria, they will never be able to return to their homes having passed into Elysium."

Love the building, especially the ground floor stone works and the windows on the first floor! I also like how you've incorporated the lions' heads into the front entrance and how you have used the hammers on the roof trims. I'm not a huge fan of the roof colours, but it still doesn't detract from the beauty of the building overall.

Bonus points for using Friends bunnies in the gorgeous garden!

Story and pics updated.

Thanks everyone for the great comments!

Masa, that is some interesting lore. I have been planning on arranging them all for quite some time. At this point I'm not sure anymore. We'll see.

hahahahahaha this story made me really laugh :p

But the I.A.M.S. does has an affiliation with the government of kaliphlin as we still need the permission of lord dextrus flagg for interguild missions :p we also want to get rid of victor.

The only true thing are our excellent relations with nocturnus :p

I am really looking forward to where this is heading :)

Also a very great first moc! Its indeed very cbb-styled :)

I like the fact that you made the interior scene like this! Many (including myself) will problably use one or two walls so this stands out! It has so much BB in it which I love! Can´t wait to see where you are taking us next! :classic:

Ooh! I sense some inter-guild tension building up, can't wait for the continuation! And great interior, I agree with DG that a full interior is a nice approach.

Some great looking builds for sure. I thought I commented already on the house, but I guess I didn't The colors are great, and I really like the roof work. I am interested in seeing where the story is going...

but "Zakon: Yes, they will be turned to dog food. Do we have our order's, Master Trian?"

I have been waiting for that joke for a long time. I doubt anyone but Americans and Canadians might get it. When I was a kid my family sold Iams in our store, and when I first saw that was what DM called his troops that is all I could think of. I am glad his colors are not green and white.
