You are absolutely right. Sime large dark bley rocks would have pulled thr floor and the background together. Stormy beach it is =p

It's actualy meant to represent the inside of the cave. The sand blue representign the stormy sky outside... Thanks! I stumbled across the vacuum in a yard sale and just knew I had to use it!

Thanks! I can't take credit for the turtles. I've seen them build by someone else and made them myself because I thought they were cute as hell. Don't know who it was though... Thanks, the eyes were quite a nice challenge to make. Whaha you flatter me! Thanks!

Thanks They do not belong to one specific guild. They do not discriminate, they transport who ever needs transportation. Thanks and yep indeed: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?M=col077 Thanks! Glad you like the presentation because to be quite honest this one turned out way bigger than I first intended him to. He barely fit in my light box The compass is from one of the old pirate sets, but I got mine from one of my sisters scala sets http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=70001pb02&in=S Thank you! The eyes and the tentacles were most fun to build out of this entire creation. The head was a pain in the bum!

Chapter 52 Well you all have heard my name. It´s Maleficent. I was not born evil, mankind pushed me towards it. Well enough about that I don´t want you to think I hold any kind of grudge. Grimhilde is what you might call a first order witch. Flying on their brooms, making potions and mixing poisons. I consider myself to be a next generation witch. We are far more modern. No brooms for us, no! I prefer to use the vacuum cleaner. It´s a modern day machine I borrowed from the great Wizard of Oz. It makes a good old broom look inferior! Well since we don´t have to count on the help of the Wicked Witch of the West and her flying monkeys, we need to get some new airborne allies. So I decided to go manbat fishing. The power of the crystals will give me full command over the manbats. But first I need to catch them in order to bring them close enough to the crystals to make them give up their free will… ~ Wish me luck, Malefecent

These just keep on getting better and better!

You know each realm of Heroica has its own means of transportation. There are however mounts who do not discriminate between the realms. They transport those who need transportation. One of them is… The Octobus The Octobus is related to the octopus, only real difference is that it is unusually large. They are quite often mistaken for the Kraken which is actually related to the squids. Where the Kraken is one of the most evil sea creatures, the Octobus is actually quite gentile and quite easy to domesticate. Their land of origin is the land of Avalonia but Octobusses can be found everewhere around the world. This specific Octobus has been trained by a woman in red called Ariel who claims to have been born a mermaid. She attached a large chain around its head. If a person desires to travel by Octobus, they will be equipped with an underwater helmet, attached to a barrel of oxygen, and a pair of swim trunks with a large elastic band to prevent them from slipping of while being transported. Last but not least the traveler will cuff himself to the chain attached to the Octobus head. The Octobus will swim under water using the underwater currents to gather speed and to prevent himself from getting tired. It has been said that traveling by Octobus is the fastest way to cross the seven seas. Octobus is not quite happy with it's small 16x16 base... Octobus in mid voyage Standing proud and tall Hope you enjoyed that. C&C more than welcome!

Love the little hedgehog fig. He is one of my favorites! Thanks! I am trying to make a shift from Aurora being the main character to little Alice. Her and her fantasy world traveling powers will become a big deal. Thanks!

Thanks! I´ve grown pretty fond of it myself...Maybe I should spend some more time in Narnia.

Chapter 51 Using my powers as a troubadour I transformed a simple wardrobe into a portal to a magical land called Narnia. I am looking for a long time friend of mine called Talmus. He is a faun and he went all apeshit on me when I first met him. Mumbling about some Golden Age Prophecy, the return of Aslan, defeating the White Witch, the end of the winter and the coronation of 4 humans. He went nuts when I told him I had an older brother and sister and a younger brother. From there on it all went downhill quite fast. Let me sum it up to you by concluding that me and my brothers and sisters were not the ones spoken of in the Golden Age Prophecy. There hasn't changed much in Narnia. Apparently it is still winter, meaning the White Witch of Narnia (not to be confused with our own white witch) has not been defeated. Finding Talmus was easy. He alwas hangs around this old antique lamp post. He was making snowmen with a girl named Lucy. After listening to my story, Lucy insisted on them helping us.

Thanks Kristel. I think you'll enjoy my next chapter as well. Thanks!

Thanks! I struggled a bit with the transformation and how to depict it. I am still not pleased with how it turned out but heck the is is just one of those chapters where the story is more important than the actual MOC. Thanks!

Chapter 50 Well it might be time I tell you my back story. When I was just a little prince, I was bitten by a werewolf. I became violently ill and my parents feared for my life. My darling mother prayed to a flickering star somewhere high in the sky. Begging the gods to save me from succumbing to my wounds. Guess her prayers were heard. Out of nothing there appeared a fairy. She goes by any names. The Blue Fairy, the White Witch but her real name was Abatha. She managed to trap the werewolf DNA somewhere deep inside me. When I hit puberty I became a royal pain in the megablocks. I was spoiled, selfish and unkind. But then one winters night an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered me a single rose in return for shelter for the bitter cold. Repulsed by her haggard appearance I sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away. But she warned me not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within. And when I dismissed her again, the old womans ugliness melted away to reveal Abatha. I tried to apologize, but it was too late. For she had seen that there was no love in my heart. She broke her previous blessing and the wolf inside me came out. I was no longer a werewolf, I was a full blown wolfman. I couldn´t transform back and forth. As if that wasn´t enough, Abatha placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived there. Ashamed of my monstrous form, the beast concealed himself inside his castle. My only hopes of ever becoming human again was for someone to look past my gruesome appearance and see the beauty that lies within. Thank god Belle crossed my path and managed to fulfill the prophecy. We fell madly in love and her kiss of true love managed to save my life and gave me back my human form. Unfortunately magic always comes with a price. After living so long as a beast I had a hard time coping as a human. It drove me insane. Belle who had been studying the arts of Magic and Witchcraft at a school abroad managed to partly break the magic of our true loves first kiss. She freed the wolf gene inside me allowing me to switch back and forth between my human and my wolf form. I went on a search for a pack and after a while I even became an Alfa. So now I am bringing back my pack to join us in the battle against true evil.

Humn great question!

Thanks! Originally I was going to build in a light up brick in the dungeons so there would be light emitting from the floor. But I forgot to build in the light up bricks. Ah who cares I'll take a dark dungeon over a well-lit dungeon any time. Thanks for the compliment. The only reason the boxes and minifig leg chest is there is because I had to hide the light-up brick. Glad you like it!

Thanks!

Chapter 49 I love it when a plan comes together! Everyone is doing their best to gather an as big as possible army. Maleficent will be catching a bunch of manbats for aerial attacks. Gaston is awakening the dead in the towns cemetery. Jafar went to a desert valley called the valley of the kings, to awaken some desert mummies. Ursula recruited all the Disney outcasts from the bottom of the ocean for battles on the sea. Hook went back to a cave filled with inferi he once came across and tried to make them obey his bidding. I went to visit a friend of mine who happens to be one of the only female orcs in the world. She is building me an army of orcs. It would go a lot faster if she allowed her daughter to reproduce… With the help of the Crystals she will be able to reproduce much more and much faster. She´ll be so excited when I tell her she is going to be mass producing babies! After that we will finally be able to attack the Royal Castle and get our hands on the Crystal Throne! So siked, Grimhilde!

Love your steqmpunk figbarfs!

Thanks!

Thanks! Spoiler alert! The people in the portrait are Dorothy, the Brave Lion, the Loving Tin Man and the Brilliant Scarecrow and of course the Formerly Wicked Witch, who turned back to a righteous path after meeting up with Aurora and Alice. Thanks! I had a lot of fun trying to get the yellow brick road to look as worn out as possible with sprouting out of it and parts chipping of. It’s not that visible in the picture, but I was going for a kind of Post Apoc land of Oz feeling. Thanks, as usual the figures were what started the MOC. Thanks a bunch!
