The story of Dave

[Tanotrooper]

Hello everyone,

I bought the advent calendar and thought I should do something special with it, as it is the first time anything like this has been made for castle fans.

I present to you (4 days too late though ) : the story of Dave.

Day I

Come forwards and listen, to the tale of Dave

for he wasn't rich, he was still very brave!

He lived in a box, a box that was sealed

a weird little box, a calendar it seemed!

And although the number of languages was very very much,

the designers of the box forgot to write it in Dutch...

On the front were a lot of numbers, counting down to one day,

and on the ground was a map with wich one could play.

Then, on the first day the first box was torn,

and the hero of our story, brave Dave was born!

In his hand he had a spear with wich he could thrust,

but the only thing he saw was a lot of white dust...

Day II

On the second day in the second box, a little bag was found

and for no obvious reason, it just fell down on the ground.

The moment he saw it, he thrusted his spear,

and inside the bag he found lots of playwear.

So he started building as fast as he could,

For the bricks were made of stone, not out of wood.

After it was finished, it appeared Dave was smart,

for now he atleast had something to guard!

Day 3,4,5 are coming tomorrow, it's a busy week

Wonderful idea, really!

I'll be looking forward

[Natman8000]

A very fun idea you have here.

[gogobig]

Creative and Original. I love it man. Very interesting and unique. Ill def. look into reading the rest of it as you make new contributions to this topic.

[Scouty]

I like the rhyming descriptions

Great photographs too!

[pr0visorak]

Haha! That is creative! Very creative!Cant wait for the rest of the days

[WhiteFang]

Nice job! This is indeed creative and nice way of presenting the advent calender in style. I did once for EB News Reviews earlier back In Sep though. Click it if you wish to view (Contain spoilers).

I will be looking forward to the rest of your story.

[I Scream Clone]

Very nice work TT, I couldn't wait to crack mine however. I am enjoying my son checking his lolly advent calendar every morning though.

Looking forward to the rest.

DAY III

On the third day it was the box with number three,

on wich a lovely lady Dave could see

Sadly the love he could feel

was just for a pile of steel.

He threw his weapon in despair

and the bag he hit had few pieces but lots of air...

He put al the pieces onto a stack,

and they appeared to form an armour rack.

He assembled the helmet, and as much as he wanted him,

he, a simple soldier, had to stay loyal to the feodal system...

DAY IV

On the fourth day, the fourth box brought fear,

as it contained a sign saying death was near.

Nevertheless Dave opened the bag as he had done before,

and scattered the pieces of bone onto the floor.

He assembled him as good as possible,

and ended by placing onto his body, the skull.

Dave looked at it, it's eyes filled with flare,

and wondered is there something in his skull except air?

The skeleton was alive, and hands were shaken as one,

for peace between two different castle races was become.

End for now, the rest hopefully tomorrow :) Thanks for the comments BTW :D

Brilliant!! You should put them on BS in order so folks there can read (and see) the rhyming and building fun!

[Zepher]

Glad to get some pictures! Looks good, and the stories good too!

[SupremeCommmanderGrievous]

Excellent! I love your rhyming!

[Erdbeereis]

Now that's a fun way to display the lovely Castle Advent Calendar!

I love the pictures and the rhymes are very fun to read. Great work, and I look forward to reading the other days!

[Guss]

that's really cool and creative the way you're presenting it^^ great job!

[KimT]

Great work.

I like being "walkthrough'ed" the Castle advent calendar.

[Holy Diver]

I wish I got this calender so I could recreate Dave's quest.

"The skeleton was alive, and hands were shaken as one,

for peace between two different castle races was become." Most epic line ever. I can't wait to see the rest (especially Dave's reaction to the busty maiden).

[Razzer]

Is this the beginning of a craze of rhyming poetic reviews? Oh God I hope so... Great Work!

[Corvus]

Aww, Dave found a friend.

Very nice idea, and your storytelling is great!

[Francis Marion]

I can't help but wonder what would happen to Dave were he to come across the City Advent Calendar...

[Ras 74]

Really a nice idea you had there.

But maybe you should move all into your first post, and edit it?

[Da Death Star!]

TanoTrooper?Are you still doing this?cause its really good so far.

[Antoi]

Great way of reviewing and writing!

The photo's are superb!!!!

Great Job!

[Zorro]

Yes I love this too, but I understand it is a lot of work...

Still something funny, I might do it next year myself if I get an advent calendar.

[Captain Green Hair]

Ah very nice story so far!

The idea of making a story out of it is really good, hope you'll finish it.

[Tanotrooper]

Putting the pictures on BS right now (took forever to find a good zipping programme), a lot of pictures though

From now one the pictures tell the story, and I'll put the gallery here when it's online.

(well the reason is I'd need several pages of the thread to post all the pictures and there is no need for words )

Anyway, there is a bonus 25th day
