THE FORTRESS
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4106/5020914846_14ece42909_m.jpg)
(While Sir Elmo was still in Jerusalem,
Fletcher served in a troop of mercenaries,
later hired by the Magistrate of Degandorf.
This is the story of a service they were
hired for by the Tapian court,
right before the invasions of the High Acz.)

Soldiers hold the fort. Romeo keeps the south side. Gus, the north.
Rufon, a local, keeps the entrance. Master Belteszazzar,
the Steward of Lord Tirio, attends to his duties.
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4112/5020315387_f40c122b74.jpg)
There isn't much to do. The Acz was chosen for the specific purpose of
being a peaceful place.
-
Will there be more, Gus? Hope so ... :prays:

Main duty of the Steward is atteding to his cheese. Swiss cheese.
Until ...
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4091/5020316737_9f5c9a3823.jpg)
RUFON "Someone approaches, from the west road."
BELTESZAZZAR "Attend to this, Gus, will you?"
GUS "Yes, Master ..." (to Rufon) "Are you sure, fat man? I can't see a thing."
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4153/5020338191_f3d20fdf35.jpg)
RUFON "Grof, yes I'm sure all right: look for yourself, sir ..."
(MASTER BEL "Hm, marvelous cheese! ...")
-
Will there be more, Gus? Hope so ... :prays:
This story is complete in three parts, being the last one divided in two. It's all in my facebook, including text already done ;D
After this one, there will be a few others, of Elmo & Fletcher in Degendorf, mainly around visits to Feorct's new place. I haven't shot the whole sequence of that one though ... It's in the middle.
Taking this interlude, I'd like to ask:
Please, wait for the "To Be Continued"
or for the "The End" tag to add comments
(Like in the theatre :P )

GUS "Hail! How can we be of help? This is a Royal post."
FOREIGNER "Hail! I seek the Master of the Acz. I bring him a message from the court."
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4112/5020342381_d01cd0d2cb.jpg)
GUS "A message?"
FOREIGNER "War is coming. The taxes of the season must be taken to a safer place."
GUS "I will lead you to the Master then."
-
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4133/5020964314_9cc98bbdd0.jpg)
GUS "Master ... There's news from the court."
MASTER BEL "News?"
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4154/5020965664_23ef1bb1f3.jpg)
FOREIGNER "Lord Tirio has hired my troop to provide you and the soldiers relieve and escort from this fort. War is coming to the frontier. The taxes must be taken to a safer place."
MASTER BEL "In whose name do you speak, young man, and what's your name?
FOREIGNER "I am Bertram. I come as a messenger from the leader of our troop, the Sarge Petre."
MASTER BEL "All right, then. Go back to him, and report him all will be ready when he arrives."
BERTRAM "Thank you sir."
-
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4103/5020966888_0cdeed9157.jpg)
The foreigner leaves, from the way he had come.
GUS "Can he be trusted, Master?"
MASTER BEL "Nobody knows of the treasure. Nevertheless, we will know soon enough. I know Petre. If he does come, we can trust him. Meanwhile, we wait"

(Okay, we can talk, now! :) )
That's SO easy using the already worked text (from the facebook albums) and the flickr! :D

Talk?
No words, Gus. Just the sound of applause ... :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Thank you ... :wow:

Gus this was excellent!! I really love this play!!! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
The custom figures mix very nicely with the plot! The angles of your pictures are also very good!
Can't wait to see what happens next!!!

I usually tell all sorts of things about my plans in pirate stories along with these medieval stories in the Little Theatre thread, may everyone feel free to ask about it or read general stuff there: http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=2490.0
On the medieval stories, there's the Drammatis Personae thread, which might be useful to gather info on my plots: http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=2309.0
I don't think it's necessary to make a comments thread. I'd like to hear your thoughts in the intervals in this thread all right, it works fine. I hope to publish the part II still today :)
This weekend will be a little busy for me, outside, though, and maybe I'll only be able to post parts IIIa & IIIb next week :-\
There's a sequence for the Acz story, which has to be shot yet ... I hope I'm getting to it, but people know me ... It's never too certain. Appearently, the Moirai conspire against my playmo-activities :-[
But now I have knight smilies to guard :knight: me :knight: .. what could go wrong? ::)
:P

Awesome story Gus! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Very well told and nicely shot Gus! Can't wait for the rest of it!

Supplies

The Acz is almost on the border line
between Tapia and the Plains of Degandorf,
which is western ally district of Moguntia.
Some peasants and villagers of Degandorf
used to go up to Murata frequently,
in the days of the Weekly Royal Fair.
The hill of the Acz is a shortcut for those
who go on foot from one village to the other.
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4130/5020379425_e921fb953c.jpg)
Although the fortress can be held by two men, it is always better to
have four. In times of peace, though, it makes no great difference.
And maybe ...

(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4088/5020380661_734747157f.jpg)
Someone might approach unnoticed.
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4091/5020381995_687de2f5cf.jpg)
(Good thing not always it is a thief.)
This girl is making the way from Degandorf to Murata. She comes from
the east road.
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4109/5020992376_4042858ccb.jpg)
Not many people come without cars, so usually this way ins't much used.
There's a broader way to the south, underhill. And they paved it, too,
in the Roman manner. But this passage over the Acz is a simple path.
-
One can't say he isn't surprised to realize that
someone approached from the east without any warnings.
Good thing it isn't a thief.
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4130/5020383891_184a1e5f36.jpg)
RUFON "Grof!", says with himself, "... The vegetable girl."
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4113/5020390271_9c4cdbe0ea.jpg)
NARDO "Hello up there! Is anybody home?"
GUS "It's Nardo!"
MASTER BEL "The girl? So early? Good."
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4130/5021001380_d82ddd0588.jpg)
ROMEO "Miss Nardo, Welcome! Please, let me give you a hand!
NARDO "Why, thank you, Romeo ..."

(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4125/5020393339_808a40c97e.jpg)
NARDO "You shouldn't bother, actually ..."
ROMEO "Please, don't be modest, miss! I can handle this!"
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4089/5020394781_1a58f8c898.jpg)
GUS "Maid Nardo, it's always a pleasure to see you."
NARDO "Why, thank you, Gus. You're so kind, as usual."
ROMEO "(Grunf)"
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4091/5021005774_8d7d06b1b6.jpg)
NARDO "Good day, Master Bel, sir. I have brought you some supplies."
MASTER BEL "Well, that's great, lass. We're very grateful for your diligence."
-
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4145/5020537745_f19da27253.jpg)
NARDO "And how have your days been, sire?"
MASTER BEL "We don't have much news up here, I got to say ... So, everything is fine, all right."
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4089/5021148008_93c935d61d.jpg)
MASTER BEL "I still have cheese, and the honey you brought last time. Thank you for the bread. We were lacking bread."
NARDO "And I have brought you something else, too, sire ..."
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4089/5021149176_642889df8d.jpg)
NARDO "Apples."
MASTER BEL "Oh, good, good! I appreciate that, lassie! Thank you very much."
NARDO "Oh, not at all, sire!"
-
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4088/5020541433_d9738c02eb.jpg)
MASTER BEL "Is there anything we can do for you, lass?"
NARDO "Don't bother sire, I'll walk ahead, see a cousin in Murata, spend a few days there, actually. Bye! See you next week, I hope."
MASTER BEL "Good-bye. Thank you, lass. Go in peace, and take care."
ROMEO "Here, miss, let me help you come down."
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4133/5021151750_62ae6b018a.jpg)
NARDO "Thanks, Romeo ... The basket is empty, now. I can do it myself. But thanks for your attention, sir. Bye-bye everyone!"
MASTER BEL "Go in peace, lassie! Mind the wolves!"
GUS "Good-bye, miss."
(RUFON "(hof!)")
ROMEO "Bye-bye! ..."

GUS "Now that the flower is gone, Romeo, would you care to attend back to your empty watch post?"
ROMEO "(Humpf!)"
RUFON "huh huh!"

Leaving the Acz
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4131/5021443964_04a5a76e3d_m.jpg)
i. Arrival
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4086/5021448270_6d4f7bb04f.jpg)
Another common day on the Acz ...
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4124/5021449622_de0f1f865a.jpg)
MASTER BEL "Ah ... Peaceful days!"
-
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4108/5020842937_af5806ba16.jpg)
But the peace seems to be on her way to see days of conflict. As Master Bel
had been warned.
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4133/5021451912_be7664a049.jpg)
ROMEO, shouts "Alert! Soldiers approaching from the south road!"
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4130/5021453248_bde6b5a9c4.jpg)
GUS "A troop with that messenger who was here before, Master Bel! they are coming from the south passage."
MASTER BEL "Attend to this, Gus, I'm coming down."
GUS "Yes, Master!"
-
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4104/5021472724_1cbe2ab1c6.jpg)
Troopers approach, and take place at the fortress' entrance.
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4107/5020853749_52c95cf8cf.jpg)
SOLDIER "Hail! We come in the name of the Lord Regent!"
GUS "Hail. Do you bring papers, sir?"
MASTER BEL "Never mind, Gus. Let them in. Hail, Petre!"
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4126/5020855033_228bcb93c2.jpg)
SARGE "How are you doing, Master Bel? It is good to see you again!"
MASTER BEL "And you. Tell your boys to get in, and come. We need to talk."
-
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4131/5020866125_3c5ef12292.jpg)
Soldiers are welcomed. The Acz sentinels make room for them.
MASTER BEL "So, Petre, what's this talk of war?"
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4152/5021465350_368a81f014.jpg)
(The Master and the Sargeant climb to the upper hold. The soldiers get themselves to arrive.)
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4110/5021484756_4b7318c87c.jpg)
LUCKY "Ah, it'll be good to spend the night in a fort, eh Fletchy?"
ARCHER "O, Bertram, I have to admit that I like the open country, you know?"
-
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4145/5020877987_0acc972934.jpg)
MASTER BEL "There has been peace for years! Who is rising, after all, what happened?"
SARGE "Oh, mr. Bel, sir ... I'm not fully aware of the situation, but it seems that the Makedonios' boys have made some sort of allegiance with the Old Drakes, and that they are coming to take the Degan, with the magistrates ... This will put an end to the allegiance between Murata & the Degandorf. We were hired by the Regent. The Tapian armies aren't in quite a good condition, after all these years of peace, you can imagine ..."
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4105/5021487228_c102150773.jpg)
GUS "Hey! I'm Gus. You are? ..."
ARCHER "I'm Fletcher!, Fletcher the Adventurer. For the moment, a hired soldier in the Troop of Sarge Petre! Have you always been a soldier of Tapia, mr. Gus?"
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4149/5020880517_79065768a0.jpg)
The sentinels & the troopers get to know each other. It is a good thing to have new men in the Fortress.
-
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4124/5020882187_9537fe312a.jpg)
It allows them to make lighter schedules in patrol, and get better rest ...
GUS "So, are you together for a long time, Bertram?"
LUCKY "Actually young Fletcher just joined the troop. We needed an archer. The Sarge new him since he was a boy, and got happy when found out he had become an archer, brought him as soon as he knew it. I have been with the Sarge for a while, now, all right."
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4110/5021492892_921c0125c3.jpg)
MASTER BEL "I always told the Lord Regent to mind that soldier, Rufos Makedonios ... Never trusted him. I should have known it was him ..."
SARGE "Right ... But why, exactly, Bel, do you have need of extra escort?"
MASTER BEL "You are aware of the money of the taxes. Besides, we need to leave a sentry for the Fortress and, as you can see, I only have two men on me."
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4127/5020885625_e7013f227d.jpg)
SARGE "This is a wonderful place, Master Bel, sir ... Too bad to have to deal with war, these days."
MASTER BEL "Indeed, Petre ... Indeed."

Leaving the Acz

ii. Departure
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4103/5020894875_55bec4f494.jpg)
On the next morning, the Tapians prepare to leave the Fortress.
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4133/5020895725_7aa116ab80.jpg)
It's time to take the King's Colours from the Acz pole, after
all these years of peace. The Fortress will be a neutral place,
for a while. Neither the Tapians nor the Degan can afford
to claim it for themselves.
-
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4129/5021504522_f1bd452e0e.jpg)
Down at the entrance, the Sargeant Petre prepares his soldiers with instructions.
The young Fletcher will be the man to stay on watch on the Acz, from now on,
for a while.
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4084/5021505960_abbc857e33.jpg)
& Rufon, the local, will be his servant, as the Fortress assistant keeper, as usual.
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4149/5020899679_1eb27774ab.jpg)
SARGE (to Fletcher) "And the local, Rufon they call him, will be your assistant in your time of service here. Which will be short, I hope, once there will be someone else soon to relieve you. I told the Lord Regent that you are an important man in our Troop, therefore, your relieve is being provided. Then, we will come to get you, Fletch."
FLETCHER "Yes sir, Sarge."
-
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4109/5022926255_d6214bd659.jpg)
SARGE "This will be the man, Master Bel! Fletcher is a skilful archer, a trustworthy man, and has proven smart enough for the job. I have chosen him myself for the job."
MASTER BEL "Very well then, mr. Fletcher: From now on, you are the local tenent on the Acz. Rufon will, therefore, assist you on whatever you need. He is in your charge."
FLETCHER "It's an honour, sire!"
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4127/5023538012_d9dde63f76.jpg)
The King's Colours are ready to leave.
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4090/5022929337_2664c5ac3f.jpg)
Stripes of truce have replaced them on the pole. All hope it will be honoured.
-
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4090/5023540930_c31d0317d3.jpg)
MASTER BEL "As for us, we will take the treasure, and leave."
SARGE "As soon as you're ready, Bel."
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4108/5023542496_520b03c5ce.jpg)
The new lieu tenant enters his new post.
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4092/5022949219_abf83660d1.jpg)
The King's soldiers keep their job of taking the luggage down to the entrance.
All need to be ready as soon as possible.
-
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4132/5023559534_cd87cbed42.jpg)
The hired troopers keep guard on the south & west ways, while the King's soldiers
are busy with the preparations.
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4086/5023560964_34b88eabe8.jpg)
Master Bel does have a few personal stuff to be carried along with the Royal property
here guarded.
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4104/5023562364_80f245704d.jpg)
His belongings are being taken out first. Spears are out. Fletcher's spear is placed
near the Fortress' entrance now.
-
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4133/5023563218_3215ca0848.jpg)
(Almost everything is ready now.)
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4131/5022939393_dd2f670a39.jpg)
(The archer takes his place at the Fortress.)
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4086/5022940853_b94f521ab9.jpg)
Only the treasure is to be attended to, after all the primary preparations.
MASTER BEL "Take these furniture from over the dungeon, Gus."
-
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4090/5023551436_446131a1d9.jpg)
GUS "What's the key?
MASTER BEL "Try the middle one, try the middle one ... No, the other middle one!
GUS (grumbles with himself ... "Crazy ol' man! humpf!")
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4125/5022943195_2536171c20.jpg)
GUS "Right, I think I got it!"
MASTER BEL "Good. Open it!"
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4128/5022944801_31acaf9f53.jpg)
~CLANG~
MASTER BEL "Come, come, Romeo ... He'll need help."
ROMEO (to Gus) "It smells funny, in there ..."
-
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4106/5023572600_6e6be119fe.jpg)
GUS (with himself "Ya, it does smell funny in here, all right ... Kids!") Well, lets see how to take it out. Put it in wasn't at all bad ...)
MASTER BEL "Come, come, lads! Less talk, more work!"
GUS "Yes Master"
ROMEO "Yes sir"
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4128/5023574170_31eda7c51a.jpg)
MASTER BEL "How's this?!"
GUS "Perhaps we will need a crane, Master! ...
MASTER BEL "Nonsense! It's a box! Get down there, one of you!"
GUS "That'll be you, Romeo ..."
ROMEO "Grunf!"
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4083/5023575618_992d60931b.jpg)
MASTER BEL "How's this, now?!"
ROMEO "I think I got it!, I got it!"
GUS "All right! Lift now! ..."
ROMEO "Pull!!"
-
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4132/5022967567_0448f5a0ea.jpg)
ROMEO "Pull harder, Gus!!"
GUS "You need to push, Romeo, I can't do all the job!"
MASTER BEL "Oh, stop grumbling you both! Get it out, lively! Come on!"
SARGE "It seems they got it, Lucky ..."
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4128/5023571254_126f171b38.jpg)
ROMEO "Have you never thought of removing this guy somewhere else?!"
GUS "I gave this idea before, but the Master never got to do it ..."
MASTER BEL "We have called the physician, a couple of times, but he's always busy ..."
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4146/5022974859_fe76a1ecac.jpg)
MASTER BEL "Besides ..." (with himself) "He's always been there for luck!", chuckles.
The previous lieu tenant of the Fortress, Master Belteszazzar, takes now the long
bow from his watch post. It is time to leave. The Acz is, at last, a neutral spot
from now on, and not a Tapian outpost anylonger.
-
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4144/5022976505_33de3c7f7b.jpg)
RUFON "Good old Iago survived all this occupation with brave manners, one has to admit ..."
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4109/5022978029_2df6a9a806.jpg)
GUS "Right, lets take it down, ~carfully~!!"
ROMEO (with himself) "As carefully as he was when we were taking it out of the hole?", grumbles!
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4133/5023589148_0231c230bc.jpg)
SARGE "There they come!"
-
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4153/5022981097_07845acf3b.jpg)
GUS "Mind the steps!!, it's tricky, down here! ..."
ROMEO "Sorry ..."
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4130/5022985081_591a772318.jpg)
All is ready. It is time to leave.

The Adventureta
& Other Stories
These are the playmobilic parts of the Tales in Degandorf. The stories appeared arround a new character made from the Crusader klicky 4670, slightly modified to compose the character of Elmo of Tapia.

4670
The Original stories of Degandorf didn't include the Tapians. Elmo Tapia, heir to the throne, opened a new storyline, in which the Realm of Tapia became a more active neighbour to Degandorf, the village where the main old stories (not playmobilic portrayed yet) took place.
With Elmo, Fletcher "the Adventurer" appeared, and a plot was begun, around the conjecture on what was their relation. With that, the main plot of the Tapian succession was thought. Also the characters of Feorctegot and Bertram appeared, however Bertram hadn't yet been shown in a photostory. The Acz sequence is the first one in which he appears, but he's involved in other plots which aren't yet definitively concluded. Also Elmo's Grandfather, the Regent of Tapia firt called Lord Davo, later Lord Tirio. (Issue still in doubt.)
A few sequences of the circle of friendship between Elmo, Fletcher and Feorctegot have been shot.
The Adventureta is a project not meant for playmobil photostories. It's around a plot with a Don Fredenando (mentioned elsewhere as Frenam the Spaniard), and it takes place in the 16th (or 17th?) century, whereas the Tapian succession plot is supposed to take place in the period of the Second or the Third Crusades.
Many elements of the Adventureta are, nevertheless, been brought to the "Elmo & Fletcher" stories, once the Degandorf is a very old village in the region, which has its story traced back to the Roman period. (Among the elements of the Adventureta here, we have, for instance, the Physician of Degandorf, mentioned not only in the Acz story, but in the sequences on Feorctegot as well.)
The Adventureta was born itself from playmobil characters, in the erlier period of my collection, the part of it that was given to children, more than ten years ago.
A very important note to be added is that however the village was geographically based in an actual one (Deggendorf, Germany), it isn't meant to be the same. The two Dorfs are completely independant ones, being the one of these stories even mentioned as possibly some kind of district or section of the real one, besides that this Dorf in these stories have been destroyed by a dragon, in the late 17th century, which is, obviously a fabulous invention.

Well, there will be other stories, but not a sequence of that, at least, not yet. But I'll consider your plea, and see if I can do the sequence I had thought ... There's a little action in it, however, not like you expect :P (unexpected events happen :evilplan: )
But there will be other stories very soon. The ones I have in my facebook account, that are ready to be published. This one, the sequence for this, I'll still have to shoot.
In the sequences, there are no much action however. Only in the last one ... (& I still have to make it too ... Today, I made #6, of this plan: http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=2490.msg85795#msg85795 ; these are the ones I'll begin publishing now.)
