Ross Fisher Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 Your Grace, I'm afraid that I must relay information about an unfortunate event involving your people. Of late, a number of Lotii ships have been making berth in Astrapi, on their way to the New Haven Seas. I am told that we represent a neutral harbour where they resupply in relative safety from both Carno and Corrington squadrons. However, I'm afraid that these circumstances have now changed. On the evening of 21 March, it seems that some of your monks caught wind of heathen practices occurring up in the hills above above Astrapi. It seems that a small group of the Lotii were practicising their strange arts up there. Well, your men donned their armour and headed up there. Caught the Lotii folk off-guard and meted out some vicious justice. What few survivors there were headed off on their junks, swearing retribution on Oleon and all the priests of the Order. For what it's worth, your people seem to have the support of the people. Your actions here last year seem to have won you a great deal of respect. Nonetheless, the Order is not endowed to conduct military actions on behalf of Oleon. Your monks here have been issued with a formal caution on behalf of the crown. With all this in mind, I must ask you, directly; you have often stated that you are not looking to start any wars. Is this still the case? Your friend, Renè Duchamp Renè, No. François Quote
Professor Thaum Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 Lol, the answer. Clever little built Quote
Bodi Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 Looking good, I like the rockwork and the bamboos. Quote
Ross Fisher Posted March 22, 2020 Author Posted March 22, 2020 @Professor Thaum @Bodi thanks! I wish I could've done more bamboo, but I ran out of parts Quote
blackdeathgr Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 Interesting...!!! Treacherous little priest!!! Nice MOC nevertheless! Quote
Fraunces Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 No one expects the Oleander Exquisition! Nice vignette Quote
Tezclatipoca Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 Nice little build ! Simple but effective ! Cool job ! Quote
LM71Blackbird Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 Those poor monks! I guess no one escapes the clutches of François when sets his sights! A very clean build! I always enjoy the absence of studs on a build like this! Quote
Maxim I Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 Very clean and solid! Amazing job on the bridge! Quote
Bregir Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 I always enjoy the stories of the Patron (or pope, or bishop or whatever he is now - I forget) and this is another to add to that list. I like the style of telling the story through letters, and the "nuts" style of reply is just excellent. The dark background generally works very well for this build, although the black hat and hair of the people on the bridge suffer a bit from the lack of contract to the background. The lower level ground is a bit too flat, but since the area is so small and broken up by nice vegetation and minifigs, as well as the cliffs, it doesn't show much. Overall, nice and amusing entry!

Ross Fisher Posted April 3, 2020 Author Posted April 3, 2020 @Bregir thanks! He is a Canon, now. I agree with your concerns. Wish I'd had more time to build this. I'm just glad I got something in for this round. Quote
