Introducing Sir Sigismund of Sweetwater
« Reply #153 on: November 06, 2010, 00:01:36 »


Sir Sigismund earned his knighthood when he defeated the slimy serpent of Slippery Bottom in single combat.

Together with the knighthood he was awarded a coat of Arms, black serpent on yellow field, to commemorate his victory, and the custody of Castle Slurpy.



Well thanks.  What he hadn't been told was that the castle was also in the Swamp of Damp Regrets. He decided to dismantle the castle stone by stone, and move it to the nearby Pile of Concrete Edging Bricks.



A Partial success. What he had forgotten to tell the architect was that the castle would also need rebuilding at the same time. No wonder the quote was so low, and they didn't even clean the stonework.

Nonetheless the costs wiped out his small treasury, so he determined to rebuild his fortune (and eventually his castle) by fighting in tournaments across the length and breadth of the High Kingdom.



Hencely he set out, accompanied by his squire Sam, son Larry the Gullible, bowman Bill, and his scribe and coin-counter Fat Freddy, who always seems to be the best fed of the whole group.

Here they are seen crossing the Lawn of Infrequent Mowing.

What other adventures and perils will they encounter on their journey? Only time, and the author's focus and energy, will tell.

Yes, let's do that!

Got my lances in today. The final pieces I need to finish my champion. Will get to work on it this weekend.

By the way, I like Martins idea to put the pre-tournament banter in a different thread.

Anyway, great photo series, Martin. Love the background story. How did you get the boggy smell off your playmobil?

Great story Martin and thanks for getting this thread back on track...I am working on lots of little things hopefully posting some stuff tomorrow. No promises though!

Could you give me a closeup of your troupe? Then I can see how close I can make them from my own stashes!

Your naming is AWESOME!

Will do in a couple of days. Right now the group are kicking their way through the Leafpile of Recent Raking, and to be honest I think Larry is having too much fun to pose for a formal portrait right now.
