Just finished my Cat C entry! I'll be posting pictures tomorrow.

Never fear. I have every intention of continuing to build in the SoNE universe. I've just been taking a break from the SW builds to crank out some GoH builds.

As you can see from the scores, it was a close match! Empire: 329 points Rebels: 353 points The top players from each side were Ninja Nin for the Rebels, and BEAVeR for the Empire. Way to go guys (I mean, guy and girl)! I'll be PM'ing you for an address to ship the prize to. And now for Doc's favorite part, the Rebels can now claim the new tag if they so choose! (For those who look closely at the scores, there was a tie between BEAVeR and markus for top XP producer. BEAVeR was chosen as the winner of the tie because he gained more personal XP out of the two players. Since the contest ended before he was made a Regulator, he is still allowed to win this contest.)

Thanks for answering the question about the helmets! Thanks! That is indeed a very good example. I'll keep experimenting with the technique. Yes, fewer colors would have been good. Unfortunately this build took all of my earthtone slopes to complete. That tells me a couple things. 1) Either I need to try this on a smaller scale using the earth tones or buy more of them And 2) I can probably do better using bleys, since I have a lot more of the slope pieces in that color. Thank you all for your feedback. I'll keep working on improving. What do you all think of the orange background? I'm still trying out some of the new colors of posterboard I bought.

I just read through Rogue's ending to challenge 2 and the intro to challenge 3 again, and I'm still confused as to why dwarves are entering Avalonia to attack the Drow. According to what has been stated so far, the Drow retreated from Avalonia and the plague and Malicia's undead army are still being dealt with. Can anyone help clear this up for me?

"That's why I brought you out here," responded Chalin. He climbed the hill to the storehouse. There wasn't enough room at the archer's barracks to practice any kind of long ranged shooting, so they had built a storehouse in one of the fields near the town. He pulled quivers, arrows, and bows out and passed them around to the archers. "Alright men," began Chalin. "Today Natolyth has agreed to help train you against magic users." "To started with," said Natolyth, "I will be sending this bewitched crow's carcass out over your heads. As you shoot at it I will be pushing at you with my power. Try to resist me and hit the moving object at the same time." OoC: This is the largest chunk of snot rockwork I've attempted to date. Let me know what you think.

Yeah, totally wasn't thinking when I posted that...

Thanks Tomsche! I'm glad you like it! The story is the easy part, it's getting the build to revolve around it that's hard! Thanks! Thank you! I tried to pick vibrant colors, but ones that weren't too out of place in a medieval setting. Thank you! But, what do you mean by "jumpers"? Thank you! (Don't tell anyone, but it's the same base with the same wedge plates as the one I used for the Teridyan scene in my collab with SK) Thank you! Glad you like it Alfadas! I'm glad you like the snow. The round tiles are repetitive, but the cracks, 1x1 round studs, and the snow are meant to help break it up a little. I guess I'll have to add more of that next time I use this technique. Thank you, I wish I could say I came up with that idea, but I've seen many others use it before me! Thank you Hammerhand!

Thanks Bregir! Hopefully you've already seen SK's collab finisher. Thank you Goliath! Thank you for your advice that led to the positive changes! I'm glad you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it! I'm glad you liked it so much that you said it twice! I know that I won't be leaving the "lot of green" scene anytime soon. But experimenting with snow techniques has been fun, and a lot easier now that Lego has so many of the smaller slope pieces in white! Thanks Gareth! I'm glad you like them! I'm glad you like it all! Thanks Gideon!

This is all incredible down to the last bit! The bear paw, of course, the candles, the windows (I envy your trans green), and the simple green and yellow flags behind the throne. I'm privileged to have my sigfig among such ostentatious folk!

Thanks Garmadon! I'm really glad to be able to help on the Star Wars side of things. I love both Lego realms equally (GoH and Star Wars) though, so don't expect me to disappear from here any time soon.

Love the sandgreen!

This is amazing and everyone else is going to comment on all the things that make it so, so I'll do the unexpected thing and ask "where is that tan female hair piece from?"

AoM Store Phase III:

See the previous tales: Wyndor's Saga: Chapter 1 -What Has Past- Chapter 2 Part 10: A New Home Part 10.1:Blunted Edges Part 10.2: Cramped Spaces Part 10.3: Enthusiastic Worker Part 11.0 Part 11: Mysterious Death Part 12: Dark Meetings Part 13: Warm Yourself Part 14.1: Sisterly Visit Part 14.2: Proud Farmer Part 14.3: Mitgardian Household Part 15: Another Mysterious Death Part 16.1: The Council Meeting Part 16.2: Meeting with Wyndor (made by Glorfindel) Part 16.3: Feud in Teridyan Part 16.4: Great Elk Longhouse (made by Glorfindel) Part 16.5: Traveling Partners Part 17: The Cemetery Part 18: Home It was a clear Autumn day in Mitgardia. Snow was already starting to accumulate around the buildings where the shadows kept the sun away. For any Mitgardian it was the perfect weather. Valanice had already started to adjust to the cold temperatures and walked around without even noticing the cold as the rest of the city residents did. Her sisters though, found themselves shivering a little and they relished every chance they got to step indoors whenever they could. They visited the village bakery where Nora always seemed to have a worried expression on her face. Valanice explained to her sisters that it was because she was always worried that her husband was going to burn the bread. They spent the most time at the jeweler gazing at his selection of fine gems. They also walked past the blacksmith shop where the cooper had been busy banding barrels but was currently re-shoeing a horse. The girls had just finished looking at all the wares the stall owners had to offer and were listening to one of the local minstrels playing for coins and chatting with each other in the square. Valanice had picked up some food to add to their dinner and had been tempted at the one of the stalls to buy a new shovel from the dwarf that ran the shop. It would help her as she worked in the small garden around their house. There had been a lot of bustle amongst the dwarves of Dalig Ulv these days. Not only were they concerned about the recent deaths of their kind, but Valanice had also heard rumor that word had come from their council with some big decision. They were often seen huddled together discussing in animated tones. Valanice was just about to suggest to her sisters that they head back when a startled cry caught her attention. She turned to see a woman standing over an older dwarf elder and muttering under her breath. Valanice hefted her axe and prepared to charge the woman when two more women stepped up to block her path and with a flick of their wrists everyone around them was pushed back a few feet. All of a sudden four warriors rushed in to attack the three women. A half-dozen different blades were all rushing toward the nefarious women when Edea stopped focusing on the dwarf and added her mutterings to her sisters. All four warriors flew back with a burst of power. Just then, Natolyth ran up. He had just made it back to Dalig Ulv after his journey to Cedrica. He stood between the three sisters and the rest of the townsfolk with fireballs smoldering in his hands. “It’s been a long time Edea, since you had me enslaved, and I will not allow you to do likewise to any of these good people!” growled Natolyth. “I see you have not put the powers I gave you to waste Natolyth” answered Edea. “It is too bad you are not still under my control. I could do great things with your power.” “Enough!” Natolyth shouted, “I thought you were finished back in the cathedral, but obviously I did not do a good enough job of it.” “Oh, you exacted your toll well enough” said Edea, pulling back her hood and revealing her white hair. “It cost me much to recover from your attack. But my fight is not with you this time.” Turning to her sisters she said, “We have what we need, it’s time for us to go.” And with that they vanished. Valanice ran up to Natolyth and said, “You’ve arrived back home just in time!” “So it would seem” he replied. “But what is going to happen next?” OoC: I'll be claiming some HSS credits in this build for Bakery, Cooper, Blacksmith, Jeweler, and Minstrel.

I would just like to say that although someone has been playing around with my title, I am still on the Rebel's side!

Thank you all! Now, can anyone point me in the direction of the princess handing out the award medals?

Hang in there guys! We are still working on the scoring. I will let you know that it is really close!

Thanks SK! I like having room for improvement. It means I have a other level to reach for as I work on future builds. Thanks Dan, I appreciate your feedback!

I'm hoping it's just me, but I'm having a hard time keeping track of all of the dwarves in this story Can someone give me a run down on the leaders of Amortug and what part they are playing? In the 2nd part of this story two brothers were mentioned (one on the boat and then entering the tunnels early, and the other at Amortug). Who are they? And what part is the dwarf with the 1 eye playing? And I feel like I'm missing a piece of the story from after the Avalonian civil war ended. I know the plague was stopped, undead were taking over boats, and the Drow were being beat back; but how does that mesh with why the dwarves are attacking the Drow in Avalonia? Questions aside, I would like to sign up for the side of the Dwarves! As all I've been doing is killing them off in my storyline, it'll be nice to build something where they actually get to win
