Nice freebuild SK! I really like those bushes . Nice way to get green feathers. However, I don't have enough Bamboo leaves to afford breaking a few No, just kidding (I don't suppose you broke them on purpose).

Yea, I would have liked to make it a little less plain. However, I don't have much foliage, and green foliage bothered me, because the other plates were dk Green. Thanks a lot, Ecc, it means a lot coming from you! The use of the hats for plates occurred to me because I don't have enough gold plates, and the hats tilt, making it look like the feast was disturbed. I was wondering what the letter should say when I thought of that . I actually had the idea first, and then went to look at the Historican map, and, voilà! A river running straight through Cedrica!

Thanks, Ecc. I personally plan on doing a good deal of free builds before the end of June. About my "trick" (the only reason I call it that is cause I can't think of a better thing to call it ), If it counts as a freebuild it should get us some good points, however I'm not sure it would count, since it has a lot to do with my Challenge entry.

Nice story, Rogueang, I like the statues coming to life and Victor fleeing to the library (nice bookshelf).

Fantastic builds, Torgar! I like the perspective in the first build, and those giant stained glass windows ! The throne is well done to (I guess Victor likes a lot of weapons handy ).

Ha, ha, keep it up ! Anyways, I really do need to choose a place a write a bit of background story for Uridius Dratiphe, maybe near Mitgardia's coast where a river (couldn't find the name) branches into two (near the Islands of Solicitude)?

Great build LD! Love the cleanness of it all, even though there are studs on the roof Also, you combined the colors very well. Nice use for the cannons !

Nice builds, Gideon! I love the SNOT table and the chairs. The stairs in the last build are also stunningly good.

I was thinking about changing the story a bit to include the other four guilds, which I hadn't done because I ran out of time. But it doesn't really matter, it seems to have turned out pretty good anyways.

Thanks, and as to the old man, he's not really thinking much at all, cause he's sleeping (and drunk ) Thanks, DM, making it look like a micro build was unintentional (but I'm glad you like it ). I don't think that the other pics on Flickr have the same effect, if you want to check them out. the windows were a little difficult to make so that the soldiers fit through them. As everyone seems to like the food fight, I glad it occurred to me (it was pretty much a last minute idea ). Yea, that wall puzzled me for a while. I smash about four or five designs before coming up with this one. And about Glorfindel being in the story, I would have liked to include other sigfigs as well and the other four guilds in the story, but I was in to much of a hurry .

Looks good Ecc, I will also have to wait for commenting until tommorrow. Anyhow, my Challenge VI entry is up: Topic: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=81987 Same as with Ecc, I'm not completly satisfied with the last build I made, but that was to be expected.

Ok, so here is my challenge entry: "Let me pass, let me pass, I have an important letter for Uridius Dratiphe!" Looking up from his work, Uridius saw a middle aged messenger, apparently from Valholl, detained by a few of his retainers. "Let him come," he said. "Sir," said the messenger, "I have this letter from Elon Chorian. He ordered me to deliver it with all speed." Uridius eyed him questioningly. Having cut open the seal, he read: Elon Chorian, to Uridius Dratiphe, Royal Architect and soldier of Mitgardia, April 5th Today I have received news of the taking of Cedrica by Victor. The time has come. We must act quickly to prevent his marching on Valholl. Bring any number of soldiers you can and meet me at Cedrica's lake on the Adeler River. We must take on Victor in his den. Sincerely yours, Elon Chorian Scribbling a short reply, Uridius quickly finished his work. Only a few days later, his entire contingent, swelled by his brother and his retainers as well, marched to the banks of the Adeler, eager to assist in recapturing Cedrica and dethroning Victor. The fate of Historica was in the balance. The night was pitch dark as the army encamped in front of Cedrica, whose impregnable towers stared down at them mockingly. With it's gigantic walls, under which flowed the waters of the Adeler, it seemed as though the city could hold out for years. As the morning dawned, other Mitgardian armies came into view, among which Steen Larsson's and Glorfindel's stood out conspicuously. That evening, the army commanders joined to decide what the next step should be. Uridius' brother, although usually pessimistic, was a cunning planner, and suggested a strategy that might work. And so for days the army labored, always in the strictest secrecy, digging a vast trench, designed to change the river's course and, if all went well, enter into Cedrica under the very noses of the guards! Finally the time came. The night was moonless, the army stood ready as the last barrier was cut, and the river, long pent up in its course into Cedrica began to empty as it flowed into the lake the army had dug. Under cover of darkness they marched quietly under the walls, taking the hand by surprise, as they flowed into Cedrica. Quickly taking a portion of the men, Uridius Dratiphe and his brother marched in silence to Victor's banquet hall, where he was known to be holding a feast with his most trusted commanders. Crash! Crash! And yet again, Crash! The sound of breaking glass filled the room as Victor and his accomplices sprang up in alarm. Through the windows and doors Uridius' soldiers came pouring in, quickly overwhelming Victor's few guards. Kaïn, who had been present at the banquet, engaged Uridius by throwing all kinds of food at him, but the Mitgardians did not slow down! Victor, seeing that the day was against him, raised his staff to call more troops, or perhaps an elemental - no one really knows, because before he could do more, a dark cloaked figure slid up, plunging a dagger into his back. Whether the assassin was one of Victor's guests or not has not been discovered, however, availing himself of the momentary confusion, Kaïn slipped out, and escaped the city. Nonetheless, Cedrica has been taken, and the threat of the hand of corruption was gone! Historica was free! If possible (could ZC or someone help me on this point) I would like to edit this topic tommorrow to add more pics and possibly change the story a little bit. However, if it is not possible,it does not matter to much. Anyways, I loved building for this challenge! More pics at my photostream: http://www.flickr.co...tos/robert4168/ C&C are welcome as always.

Ha, ha, yea, I should. My third build will not be very big though, but it shouldn't be hard to get a decent one done in time.

Ok, I'm done with my second build for Challenge VI and the story, just need to take pics of the second build and build the third in about 10.5 hours. But while I'm waiting for the sky to clear up, I might post the first part of my entry.

Nice rockwork, SK, looks like Joktan and Jayan are blessed you made arches on the bottom of the bridge (or at least their feathers are ) No, just kidding, but the bridge is very nice, only I would suggest not to put arches on the very bottom of the bridge, despite Joktan's and Jayan's feathers having to be knocked off. I like that water too (next time I BrickLink anything I'll probably be getting tons of blue dots ). Great Job.

Absolutely stunning build, Ecc! Great boats and I really like that couch . Nice to include Besardac Montero and Eric Grimmson inside too.

Great work Ecc, awesome fire place! Very nice buildings, and the dk brown table inside is a good idea.

Awesome build, Ecc, love the DC feel I love that green and gold border.

Cool build, Soccerkid, the cave under the castle waas a good idea! I also like the swamp and the stairs inside.

Great build, SK, I love it how you used a lot of uncommon pieces for the wall design. The flags on the stall make for a nice roff, but don't you think green flags would look better? Another great build, though.

I have too agree, excelent plow! The stable looks great too. All together, great build,SK!

Nice tower, SK, but how did the fire get to the wooden top (the bottom being all stone)? The interior adds a nice touch to the build (although I didn't know that Hands needed beds to sleep in ).
