LordDan Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Inside the Dancing Dragon, a small Kaliphalin pub, located in Ulandus controlled territory A minor Kaliphalin Lord, who has sided with the Ulandians, relaxes in the corner of the pub While a Jester entertains the crowd with his dagger juggling trick. But what nobody realizes is that this jester isn't what he appears to be. He is actually an elite assassin for the Desert King, known as the Sand Wolf. The Sand Wolf dashes foreword, quickly slitting the bodyguards throat and stabbing the Minor Lord before making his escape. The Minor Lord lies dying on the ground, still trying to comprehend what went wrong. Additional Pictures: Figless The Minor Lord's bodyguard C and C appreciated I hope I did this right, since theres no other guerrilla builds to go by FYI: This is for the Desert King Edited March 7, 2015 by LordDan Quote
Disco86 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Great to see our first guerilla action ! And a cool story, good luck Quote
Gideon Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Nice fig posing and description! I think that it would be good if the tag noted where and by who the guerrilla action is taken. For example this could be [G:J13, DK vs U] or something similar, or if Ska has some other thought? Counter build next week could then be [CG:J13, U vs DK], and maybe in the post include a link to this one. I'm afraid that the guerrilla action might quickly be hard to get a grip on when multiple actions are happening... Quote

Technically I believe Ska is the one who gets to decide where the guerrilla actions happens. In this case, as Lord Dan has picked his spot, I have no idea what will happen. Also, counters are to be posted in the same thread, not a new one. Quote
Basiliscus Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Nice build LordDan, and loving the story. The concept of the jester as an assassin is really clever - holding the murder weapon right in front of the victim! Just in case guerilla builds need approved - here's my Edited March 7, 2015 by Basiliscus Quote

It seems I missed that when reading the description. I will just remove the map square from the description and let Ska decide where it goes Quote
Maxim I Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Nice job killing those treators!! Congratz depicting the characters storywise and brickwise! Quote

It seems I missed that when reading the description. I will just remove the map square from the description and let Ska decide where it goes I must need to clarify the rules thread. You, indeed, pick the square. I think we will throw a limitation on cities though where you have to at least have as many MOCers as the city has victory points in order to make a guerrilla attack.

Kai NRG Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Sorry about that! The rules didn't really say much one way or the other but I was going off this: Bregir, I believe Ska is the one who decides where the guerrilla action will take place, not the builder. So don't make it overly specific to a certain locality I suppose. I think the description is pretty clear here. The guerrilla could make his actions everywhere he wants. This is true, it just has to be an enemy occupied area. No neutral zones. Obviously I misunderstood! Quote
SkaForHire Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 I hope my clarifications on the thread made sense :) Quote
LordDan Posted March 7, 2015 Author Posted March 7, 2015 Ok that makes sense. Could you change the title to [G:J13, DK vs U] Assassination ? Quote
soccerkid6 Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 I like the wall texture, but I feel having it angled isn't that effective for this small interior scene. Also, some windows, arches, or buttresses would look nice in the wall. Good fig posing, and a clever idea for an assassination Quote

Also, some windows, arches, or buttresses would look nice in the wall. Good fig posing, and a clever idea for an assassination Thanks! The reason the wall is angled is cover more of the floor, since I started to run out of brown tiles(The wall hides a bunch of colorful tiles) The idea is that this is a a wall in the back of the main central room of the pub and behind it would be rooms, not outside, so a window would be impractical( also the Sand Wolf chamber is on the other side of the wall, so that rules out windows) The wall was built mainly to display the dragon painting( which is a Duplo brick showing the brick built dragon at the Lego store in Orlando, Flordia), but arches or buttresses could have been a nice addition. However, I was running out of dark tan by the top of the wall ( a lot of the dark tan at the top were backwards slopes) so adding anything more probably would have been a stretch. Quote
Kai NRG Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Counter! (Just a reminder: I need approval for this, so if you comment subsequently please make clear who you are approving.) Edit: This build now has its own thread here! The rest of the previous post is under spoilers. Things looked pretty bad for our minor lord, after the juggler turned assassin had driven a sword through his gut. Pain shot through his body as he slumped to the ground. His wife broke out into hysterical screams, and then - finding that screaming took too much energy - began to sob. Her little drama ended with a few gyrations on the smooth floor and a sudden, sliding fall on the other side of the room. Our minor lord gathered his failing energy and made a half plunge, half slide across the room, crumpling into the wall. Wincing, he struggled to a reclining position. The frequenters of the inn - inmates, the minor lord called them under his breath - were screaming and wailing - at least, those that were sufficiently "with it" were. One stumbled toward him, fumbling with the knots in a dirty neckerchief. Another looked on, giving vent to his lamentations with great volubility. "Our great lord, to come to this! *sob* To be stabbed by a dirty, worthless, no-good jester off the streets, the scum of the city..." "Don't just stand there, you, you..." The minor lord fell back gasping. The half-witted "inmate" paused in his lamentations. "Get a doctor! A doctor!" the minor lord spluttered, sinking to the ground again. The inmate dashed off. "What had gone wrong?" wondered the minor lord. A dull sort of stupor began to steal over him. He sank, fainting, to the ground - overcome as much by the smell of the inmate standing over him as by his own weakness. To come to this, indeed! He, lord of Kaliphlin - minor lord, to be sure, but still - lord of Kaliphlin, to die among such... such... No! He would stay alive, at least, until the doctor came! Full of this resolution, he raised himself on one arm and waited. At last - it seemed like an eternity - the doctor burst into the room. "Now, I can die!" thought the minor lord. He dropped back into a swoon. His wife, who had just recovered, sprang up in consternation. "Oh!" she began, but the doctor stopped her short. "Hold your noise until we know whether there is a reason for it!" he exclaimed roughly. Walking over to the dying man, he shoved the inmate standing over him out of the way. He gave the minor lord a quick inspection. "Jugglers turned assassins don't seem to have a good knowledge of human anatomy," the doctor soliloquized. "He'll live," he announced, turning to the group. The uproar of hysterical shouts and laughter that instantly filled the room made him wish he hadn't said anything, just yet. Edited March 12, 2015 by Kai NRG Quote
