About this creation
After traveling for a day and a night, our heroes find themselves following the river towards the Tower of Harold and almost certain death. Luckily for them, luck happens to be on their side… luckily…
Adam: “Ok, we’ve been walking like… forever. I need a break. Wait, where are Joel and Sindy?”

Joel: “We’re over here.”
Sindy: “Don’t give me that look you all… you’d be surprised how big the market for that stuff is.”
Joel: “Not quite as hairy as the women I’m used to, but beggars can’t be choosers.”

Legolad: “Prince Adam, we must make haste. The evil sun will set upon us hence if the divine prophecy comes hither…”
Adam: “Yeah yeah, we’re going. Just need a minute, my dogs are barking!”
Sue the Pirate: “And speakin’ o’ which, Joel me lad, did she be doin’ that thing with the…”

Gandork the Wizard: “Hark friends! And welcome to my woods.”
Adam: “What the hello kitty!??!”

Gandork: “I have heard of your quest and offer rest, food and valuable information. Come up to my home in the tree and we shall break bread together.”

Joel: “Who would build stairs this big? It’s Dwarfist I tell you, Dwarfist!”
LegoLad: “Don't get all flared up. Mayhap a pair of lifts in thine tiny little boots would help thee?”
Joel: “Stuff it Keebler.”

Adam: “Watch your step Sue, it’s a narrow path to the top.”
Sue: “Aye, even a crow’s nest be havin’ handrails. Tis an insurance disaster waitin to be happinin I tell ye! Where be HR so I can be fillin a claim?”

Carl the Ninja: “My path to the top shall be quiet, quick… and TOTALLY ninja!”
Adam: “You do realize that if you fall, we’re just going to laugh at you right?”

Gandork: “Nearly to the top my dear. And I must say that you followed quickly.”

Sindy: “Well, it’s not the first time a boy invited me to his treehouse.”
Gandork: “Why does that not surprise me?”

Gandork: “Welcome to my home friends. Please come inside.”
Sue: “There be no way that we all be fittin’ in that small hut.”
Sindy: “You’d be surprised how much you can cram into a small space actually.”

Gandork: “Remember I’m a wizard. It’s much larger than it appears. Please, come in. I have beer, food and I’ve also been compiling information about Harold the wizard. I have complete records of his spells, tactics, weaknesses and many other things that will aid you in your quest to defeat the evil Harold.”

Adam: “Wait… could you repeat that? You have beer?!!?”
Sue: “Bring on the wenches!”
Sindy: “I’m already here… duh.”
Joel: “Legolad, did he say anything else there?”
Legolad: “Alas, tis not what… oh who am I kidding? I pretty much tuned out after he said “beer,” time to drink!”

And with that, our heroes fates may be sealed…
Fourth Wall Commentary (with bonus pics): Ok, so I think this will be the last in the series of Carrith Knorr. If I don’t quit now, I run the risk of looking like a cheap knock off of a much better written medieval comic strip.

I decided to do this one based on a role playing adventure that I played about 10 years ago. In the game, our troupe was resting at a wizard’s house before going in to hell on some mission or another. Our troupe decided to spend the week before we continued our quest drinking and “wenching” while we were staying at the house with the world’s largest library devoted to hell…

Yes friends, I’ve always been “Phipson,” even in role playing games! HAHAHA And so ends the Chronicles of Carrith Knorr. Hope you enjoyed the post!

Till next time true believers!
~ Chris.

Nice! Lovin all the trees, the hut, the hiding ninja, the weird names... You have a LOT of foliage pieces. Is the AFOL brick the long brick 'overhanging' from the platform thing in the middle of the staircase on the last picture, but seen from the back so we can't see the text?
Yeap, you can see it in the last pic. Someone else already pointed it out. I didn't add a shot of it close up becuase this was torn down before I thought to take that pic. But it's there. |

I'm not sure what everyone means by 'it was just getting good'...did any of them actually READ it?! I've seen better plot lines on Jersey Shore! Although, you're right, this could EASILY be confused for Glomshire. LMAO Just kiddin', Dennis. So now that you've finally 86'ed this series, where's that Fortress of Solitude?!~H |

I always wanted to live in a tree ever since I first saw Swiss Family Robinson as a kid. You can't quit this story now, its just getting interesting. PS, I like your skinny tree design, may I please borrow it for an upcoming moc? Usual thank-you payment in photo form of course... |

Err... I actually haven't posted any MOCs yet. I've been having a bit of trouble with the uploader or my computer or something. Funnily enough, the creation I've been trying to get up is my entry for the MO side-contest! It's nothing special though. Can I give you a link once I have some good MOCs online? |

Quoting Mike Johnson
No, no it can't end now. I just got addicted because it brought back all of my hazy D&D hijinks from many moons ago! So what if it's a ripoff. So is everything else in life at some point. All you have to do is call it "research" to get away with it!
Ever read "knights of the Dinner Table?" Classic stuff. Alas, it's time to retire this series. I got a good 4 posts out of it and left it where the readers can decide who wins the final battle. Thanks for the comments guys!
