Thank you! Yeah, maybe it was a little overkill. :) It was my first time trying it out, so thanks for the critique! Ah, ok, I will see what that looks like next time. :)

Awesome work, I love the sail, and the raven design on the sail!

Wow, this is amazing....That tree is fantastic! Love the base and carriage design as well!

Really awesome entry! The balcony is great, love the curtains!

Very nice fig combos! The 4th from the bottom look sorta like my Rangers. :)

Nice little scene, I agree with Gideon. Love the fig combos!

Nice work, love the logs, and the smoke! :)

Very nice job, I love the rafters!

Thank you Mike S! Thanks HammerBro! Actually, the floor is all Dark Brown tiles and 1x2 plates. Sorry if it doesn't look like it is Dark Brown, but it is. :)

My entry to the Leadership mini Challenge is up! Ch II - Prologue - New Leadership - Discussion

Ch II - Prologue - New Leadership - Discussion by mpoh98, on Flickr Part 2 of the GoH Challenge Prologue. Enjoy! Feren sighed happily, breathing in the fresh night's air. Nothing like a walk in the night to freshen you up. Feren was taking another one of his nightly walks, pondering the change of leaders in Avalonia. Even though I will miss Lord Varis, Lord Simon is a very good friend of mine, and his loyalty to Avalonia is unquestionable. His leadership skills will prove useful in the coming times, as we will most likely soon learn what the Drow are up to, and what we need to do to defend. As he trudged through the alleyway, next to the tavern, his fine-tuned ears picked up a conversation. Cocking his head to one side, he concentrated on the source. It's coming from the 2nd floor of the tavern, he realized. Flattening himself next to the wall, he debated whether he should climb it, but discarded the idea. If someone walks by, that would be extremely embarrassing to be caught spying on 2 of my citizens. He listened in, and was just in time to hear them talking about their new leader. Ch II - Prologue - New Leadership - Discussion by mpoh98, on Flickr "What do you think of this new leader, Simon of Nalderic?" Feren's eyes widened, it was one of his Elite Rangers, a man by the name of Roger. He must be taking a break from his shift. "Meh, I personally don't care, as long as he doesn't do anything stupid, and is fair, I'm good." Feren nodded, this man was one of his friends, Gavin was his name. A good man, but slightly on the easygoing side of things, he was very lenient in political matters. "Well," Roger said, "I am glad in the change, as my Lord Feren is a good friend with Lord Simon, I know him to be a fantastic leader, and a good man. I am sure he will make a wonderful leader." Good man, Feren thought to himself. He yawned. It was time he went back to the keep, and to his toasty bed. I've heard enough, things seem to be going well here in Marrock Fortress......I really need to change the name of my castle, it's to repetitive with my island.....anyway my Rangers seem to like him, so that's good. I pray that Simon will turn out to be a good leader as we think he will be, we will need one soon..." Turning around, he silently padded around the corner, and back to the keep. Well, this is my 2nd entry into GoH for the Avalonia mini challenge, and it was an extremely fun build. I had fun building the interior, I need to experiment more with that. Tell me what you think of it, I would love to get better with interiors! Critiques appreciated! Thanks for viewing! Soli Deo Gloria! ~Matthew~

Figured out the story, in the process of building my entry. :)

Congrats to the winners! Great job guys, and great challenge! I eagerly look forward to the next one!

Sweet! Another mini-challenge! I have some questions: So do we know who won the last mini-challenge? Who are the new Lords of Avalonia! Can't wait to start building!

Thank you Gunman! :) Thanks Hammerhand! Yep, that is what I was going for! :)

Well, I am confused as well, since Sunday was the 9th, so he had 2 conflicting dates....oh well, great entry though! :)

Hey Rogueang, I have a question concerning the free builds. 1st, I have seen people include their Book II Challenge I entry into the free build thread, do those count? If so, I need to edit that. 2nd, do the 4 builds of mine you have linked on page 31 all count as free builds? Thanks, ~Matthew~

Great story, I like it! One thing, the prologue challenge said, "This mini-challenge lasts for 1 week, ending Sunday March 10th." So I think it ended yesterday...but great story!

Thanks Carson! I agree, it's not my best. Thanks rogueang! Yeah, I am definitely glad i got it in. :) Thank you Torgar! Thanks soccerkid6! :) Thank you HammerBro! Yeah, I was going for a different look, but 1x1 rounds would definitely help!

Ch II - Prologue - Listening In... by mpoh98, on Flickr "Feren, what about the Drow? Have you heard the rumors?” Feren, and his archer master and friend, Robin, were strolling down the street of the massive castle Marrock Fortress. Robin, always inquisitive, had heard rumors spread by the Marrock farmers, and now wondered if his Lord knows about them. Feren inclined his head thoughtfully. “Yes, in a way. I have heard from my spy agency that there are rumors about the Drow invading our land. But I have not heard them personally myself, or if they have come this far inland to our island.” Just as Robin was about to respond, their fine tuned ears heard whispering, faintly carried along by the wind. Feren scowled silently. That whispering was in no language from Avalonia, it was barely perceptible. Feren, motioning silence, slowly drew his sword, making not a sound. Quietly he and Robin inched along the wall, concentrating on following the faint murmur. Slowly they approached the corner of the building. As Feren listened, he realized it was a man, and a Drow conversing. Feren’s eyebrows drew together thoughtfully. A Drow could only mean trouble. Listening closely, he was able to catch snatches of the conversation. “…….yes, we have finally arri……Lord Terrowin, prepare your troops……….Drow…….invasi……” Feren nearly exploded with surprise. Lord Terrowin was a popular Lord among the leaders of Marrock, and one of his trusted advisors. Feren’s eyebrows clashed together in anger. This man, his friend, had sold himself over to the Drow. He could barely contain the anger inside, and, if it wasn’t for Robin restraining him, he almost dashed around the corner. Controlling himself, Feren and Robin silently ran off, back to the keep, deep in thought. ‘This news is not good,’ Feren thought, what could it mean? ‘If only I could have heard the full conversation.’ For know, all he could do was ready his men, and wait for what was to come…. but, Feren vowed, whatever was coming, he would keep Marrock safe from this evil. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 4th Wall: Whew! Glad I was able to get this entry in! After I wrote the story, I had no time to build until today, so I cranked out this small build quickly for the story. I am not satisfied with the roof, as I realized I forgot to add the overhang on one side, the brown wall is meh as well. But I am glad I was able to enter. :)</i> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 4th Wall: Whew!

I'm working on posting my entry into the challenge! :) Edit: posted!

Great challenge! Will definitely make something for that! I just got started on the Great Tower for Albion! Should come later this month.

Fantastic work de Gothia! Looking forward to the full city!

Fantastic work here! Similar to my idea and build, where he is looking to for a place to build his castle. Love that small cottage!
