I'm around, just been waiting.

Too quiet... that means a demon ate someone right?

But on a serious note, anyone working on quests?

Nope, no prize this time. Thanks for the kind words on the stern. That was the hardest to do.

"Open the door!" Emile Perreault called into the cabin. "Your crew has already surrendered, and they've told us you've got the blueprints." "I'm armed!" Captain Banks returned in his shaky voice. "You won't get them from me." Emile turned to Rene and shook his head then turned back to the locked door. "I'm counting to three." "I'll shoo-" "THREE!" Emile shouted. WIth a loud crash, the cabin door swung open. Immediately Banks fired off a shot, missing Emile completely. Both parties stood there for a moment. BLAM!! Emile fired. Banks flew back from the shot. Rene poked his head in the door as Emile walked in. "Ever considered working for a militia when someone takes a hostage? You're a natural," the quartermaster said sarcastically. "Can't say it ever crossed my mind," Captain Perreault returned absent mindedly. He went to the desk and picked up the blueprints. "These look like the plans for the fort. Good thing we got to him before he could sell them off." "All we need is to find out how he got them, or who gave them to him," Rene replied. Emile only nodded. Some shots of the actual build.

Thanks! The center will be a few builds from now then. Here here! I went into the extended mode and took a normal torso. Then I went to the sticker button for paint and selected the torso decal. No switching of hooks and hands.

April 617 Small Beer Distillery | KotZ | OL FB | The Killing of Captain Banks | KOTZ | OL FB | The Elise | KOTZ | OL

Elise was pleased Emile had earned more money this month. When he returned back to Eltina, he bought a small beer distillery. Elise joked Emile was only buying these properties so he could drink more easily. Emile purchased a solid desk for Elise to work at, and he placed it right next to the window to allow for some natural light. But downstairs was where the magic happened. Emile jested that they get a pet rabbit and name it "Hops," like the ingredients; Elise wasn't amused.

Ever considered selling that guitar?

Great work, Tomsche! You've got an incredibly steady hand for that. Wonderful work.

Thank you!

Splendid!

Thanks! I'll definitely take that into account on my next ones.

Blacksmith's workshop | Small Artisan | License not yet active

Here's a small blacksmith's shop for the RNTC to purchase if they so choose.

Hugo and Marie, Elise's brother-in-law and sister respectively, had just moved to Lavalette in the hopes of starting anew. Hugo opened a blacksmith's shop. He hoped to supply the RNTC with some fine weapons some day.

Thanks! I'm having fun writing Emile and Elise's story and building with it. Glad you guys are seeming to enjoy it.

Small Rum Factory | small factory

My love Elise, I've secured enough doubloons for me to purchase a small rum factory not far from where we live in Eltina. Hopefully this investment will be able to bring strong returns for us in the future. It's a safer way to move up in this world than privateering, but until we are wll off enough, I'll need to be at sea. Thus, the rum factory falls under your control at this time. I know you can do it; you've a strong mind, Elise. If this venture goes well enough, perhaps we can open a larger factory and expand across Oleon. In your employ is Louis. Don't mind him, he's harmless enough. He's the older cousin of Henri. With all my love, Emile My dearest Emile, While it hurts me that you are away for so long, I am pleased to see you are unhurt and your letter has reached me. I've started going to the factory more by the time this letter reaches you. Louis is harmless, if a bit wide-eyed. We're selling the rum, and I hope you are correct that it takes off. Of course, you need a name for this venture of yours. Emile's Rum? Spirit of Athena? We have time to come up with something. Give some thought on it, and when you return we'll discuss. Oh, I need to mention my sister and her husband have left the city and are settling in Lavalette. Do pay them a visit if you have a chance. Until your next letter and with my love, Elise

I'm still here, just have had Kiray in the hall, still hoping for new quests.

Great work, Phred! I love just how busy it looks.

Thank you! I'm glad I was able to show an LDD build you enjoyed. The next story build should be coming within the week. Thanks! The fireplace was originally going to be smaller, but I couldn't design a window I liked, so I just made the oven huge to cover up no window being there.

Wonderful tower. I can see it easily being part of GoH as well.
