Captain Braunsfeld

Thanks. I hoped to make everything somewhat consistent - and that included the brilliant invention of the Barqan Fire.

Impressive, but brutal creation. Your LDD capabilities seem to be unlimited! "Keeping the keep"? That could have been my title

Great horrible scene, fine wreckage and fine kraken. I am not so sure about the grey sea, though.

Unusual to see an incomplete ship from your side.. fine entry!

" Wednsdaeigh and Orbinson " - clever!

The defense is great - and the attacking beast is .... (oh dear, what can I say)

Fine battle - I like your ships!

Thanks for your kind feedback. And the camel was just a wooden thing!

Fantastic battle scene! Those modified StarWars torsos really work out well here. Minifig posing also great overall! .... and another "Brickwall" down ...

What a terrible death! But Eslandola has won!

Nice approach to waves! .. and the hero's name is fine, of course

Thanks, I had to take about 176 pictures to be able to tell the story... Congratulations to knighthood! And right: We cannot be really sure that Raavage is dead. His body was not found after the explosion... (And for the new king: You need Emmet's head and hair )

Thank you. Actually the CMF king is meant to be wearing a uniform. You will spot other fighters like him on the left of the second battle picture. I tried to convey the idea that Historica is united against Raavage and so I have used Mitgardian, Kaliphlinian and Pseudo-Avalonian troops. Yes, it has started. Otherwise I will not make the deadline as I need to do the next BoBS challenge... Thanks! Oh, the Bargan fire - I liked that a lot About the custom parts - I hope they will be not too essential. Forget about that white tree stuff. In the end, to continue you will need to have some medieval version of Emmet. (But I must admit that in the process of finalizing the story I had also thought about using Aragorn (but he's a fleshie!)).

I missed this post ... and I am done with Cat C, so that's it for me.

That is something weird for a change! Besides the ship, foilage and the green river are amazing.

Your investment has proven worthwhile - excellent MOC with great (even a bit peaceful) atmosphere!

My "long story" + "lots of pictures" entry for Cat C: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/148969-book-ii-challenge-v-category-c-how-i-met-our-king/ ... revealing the New King of Historica:

"So", said Captain Mitgardia, "let's hear your story." Samuel Marron put down his glass of beer and slowly began to tell his tale - how he met the new King. It was in the dark days before our victory over the Spire. I had orders to deliver a letter to the Desert King. One night I was ambushed... Skeleton warriors had killed my horse and as I was preparing to fight I had almost overlooked the second attacker. Moving towards Kaliphlin I arrived at a Cuboid Castle. ... and so our plan began to take shape. I was sent to meet the Desert King... ... who was supervising the construction of our key weapon, designed by Abdul Trojan: a giant wooden camel with space inside for a small army: "And that is where you met the New King?" Captain Mitgardia interrupted. "No, that was later. After the battle." "The Battle of Two-Finger-Mountain?" "Yes mate." The battle was intense and terrible. We were facing the Spire's elite troops and things did not look good. Although we were fighting as one - the finest warriors of Historica united - we were outnumbered and about to lose. So we had to retreat. Raavage himself, surrounded by his elite warriors approached our wooden camel and claimed the victory for himself. With the guild's forces dispelled he gave a speech to his victorious troops about how cowardly we were and that he was about to ruin our plan. Because he thought that he knew everything about Trojan's camel. He expected it to be filled with skilled warriors that were destined to kill Raavage. So his best warriors closed in on the camel. But there was one thing Raavage was not able to. He could not pay attention to details. Well, it is usually difficult in the heat of battle to point out fine details like "Oh, look, that Orc has got a nice helmet" -"The one with the bronze applications?" - "Yes, quite nice, isn't it". That usually does not happen. And Raavage had missed a detail. .. a burning fuse hanging from the camel's mouth. The explosion of the Barqan Fire exterminated Raavage and the core of his army. I watched the explosion from a safe distance - it was catastrophic for the Spire. Our plan and the faked fallback had worked well. Our troops engaged again and we pursued the remainders of Raavage's army until there was no-one left alive. It was then, after our victory, when I met the New King. He came towards me, accompanied by his guards... ... and I bowed and bent my knee. And he thanked me. I felt so honoured. "A toast to the New King", Captain Mitgardia shouted! "All hail to King Emmet I." both cried, raising their glasses. But there was something, Samuel Marron had not been able to tell his friend. It was about the private conversation he had had with the King after the battle. "Samuel", the King said, "you have proven your loyalty to me. And your courage. I will tell you a secret. You will not forget it but find yourself unable to talk about it. I am a chosen one. I am in the possession of powers that allow me to excite loyalty in others so they will follow me. I cannot make them stronger or braver, but they will follow me. Like you do. When I started on this journey I went to the Desert King, asking for an audience. I made him one of my first followers. With his army on my side it was easier to put up a plan against Raavage and his troops. You have helped me to get the support of Mitgardia and Avalonia. I am very thankful for that and this is why I am telling you my secret. Now you will keep it to yourself." Samuel drank a sip from his beer and mused. What will the future be like, now that Historica is united under King Emmet I? Will he be a kind ruler given that his subjects will be of utter loyalty to him? Will he have enemies? Was Raavage really killed in the explosion? So, this is my "big entry" for Category C with lots of scenes, pictures, action, etc. It took quite a while in preparation. I am happy that I was able to include the Cat A + B MOCs into the story. I hope you like it!

Ship ship hooray!

Fine build. Nice variations of green for the house.

What a fine beast!

I love that green water!

Quite innovative! Great bear that is!

Thanks. I still think that the "tower" is a "house" but that is not so relevant. Did anyone notice that I included a visual reference to "MARS ATTACKS"? Thank you - and all the best to your knighthood promotion!

Great action on a fine and colourful marketplace!
