So, I scrambled and managed to get an entry posted for the Restricted category in Group 1. However, the thread on the forum was created at 12:15 AM local time on April 28. Will this still be eligible to compete, or is it disqualified? Thanks for answering my question. GCVII- Ambush and Counter-Ambush

Here is my entry into GC7 - The Decoy- Group 2
- Did not perish
- Restricted
Here is a link to the group in Flickr
Kroth Stonegrinder led a direct assault on the castle – he knew that he did not have enough troops to overwhelm the Queen’s defenses. He also knew that this could be a suicide mission. As he led the charge he had two squad of crossbow men by his side. It appears that his attack did not go unnoticed. Every arrow hold was covered by an orc archer. He only hoped that the light of afternoon sun would give them a little trouble. Must to his dismay, an man will a staff appeared on the corner of the castle. Was that Mandrake? Either way, he unleashed a ball of fire from his staff. The men fired their crossbows at the moving ball of flame. Kroth was not sure if it exploded early because of the crossbow bolts, or just bad aim – but the blast still killed two men and the others were wounded. Kroth knew that he had to retreat, so that they could swing back around. He only hoped that all the cat and mouse he was do would give his old friend, Beryl Tourmaline and his fellow dwarven miners time to dig to the secret tunnels that they knew that existed below the castle.

Just a quick question. In past GCs, we have been allowed to photograph our builds and submit them for the deadline, then retake the photographs and edit them in later in the event of camera related issues. Is this still the case?
As it stands, the weather where I am is a bit sketchy at the moment, and it's hard to tell what it will do. If all goes well, I shouldn't even need to do this, but I wanted to ask beforehand anyway.

My opinions on this are varied, as I feel sorry for those who haven't had the right conditions to photograph, but on the other hand I somewhat feel that it could be an unfair advantage. We'll see what the rest of the KC think.

As Navarre and his men marched towards the Royal Castle Navarre thought of the war. His own men amounted only to 2000, but he had hired some wild men from the shade and was to join up with some allies from all three of the provinces at the Queen’s castle. In total, he considered their combined forces should be over 6000, but supplies for a long siege and siege engines was what he had to worry about. He only had enough horses to carry about six engines and had high hopes that the allies could provide twelve more; at least…Ten Days Later…William Navarre had been disappointed by his allies who only had two siege engines and limited supplies for a siege. However they managed after 15 days to affect a breach in the wall and now planned for the attack! For pictures here.

The Conjurer! -------------------------------------------------

This one counts:
But Navarre was not dead, and though sorely wounded, managed to escape through the breach before the dragon soldier dispatched him along with any other wounded enemies. Navarre, after washing his cuts in the moat, bandaged his wounds as best he could with his shirt and cloak. Subsequent to lying near the moat for some time, Navarre crawled toward an abandon horse, and mounting with great difficulty, rode away till he fell off onto the rugged terrain. Suddenly, a black shadow flittered across the rocks. Navarre pulled out his knife, the only weapon he still had. “Ah don’t worry… I haven’t the slightest notion to betray you.” “Why should I believe you?” replied Navarre as the shadow turned into a man standing before him. “Why,” the wizard replied, “should I deceive you?” “That, I must ask!” answered William. “Well, go ahead, but my advice is that you follow me…” whoosh, and a portal appeared before Navarre, “But I obviously can’t walk, still less lurch forward into a portal!” “Ha, that can be fixed!” retorted the conjurer lifting Navarre off the ground with his staff and floated him into the portal jumping in after him with an evil grin… -------------------------------------------------------------------------- For pictures go here.

My GC VII EntriesMore pictures in the GC VII flickr set and in my GC VII entry thread. Going InVignette entryA small force led by Haydar Khaldoon is sneaking past the wall of the outer fortifications of the Queen’s castle, which are protecting the town on the side of the main castle. The defenses have a weak spot which is the sewers. Usually completely filled with rapidly flowing water and therefore regarded as an impossible way in, a recent drought has reduced the flow more than the defenders have expected. Getting in this way is a messy business however, since it means wading waist-deep in the refuse of the city… Opening the GatesUnrestricted entryHaydar Khaldoon and his men have gotten past the walls through the sewers (hence the brown legs…) and are now making a rapid move to secure one of the smaller gates. Outside, a larger force of Loreesi infantry has sneaked up to the wall under the cover of darkness and are waiting for the gate to open soon, hopefully before the guards on the wall has discovered them... RecoveringRestricted entryHaydar was injured in the battle after opening the gates to the town outside the Royal Castle. Opening the gates was easy enough, but the ensuing battle when the Queen’s reinforcements arrived was a bloody affair where many of Haydar’s men lost their lives. During this battle, Haydar was injured and before the battle was decided he was evacuated along with many other wounded soldiers with a transport ship returning to the mainland. The monastic order commonly known as the black brothers has a long tradition of treating the sick and injured. At their convents, many of the wounded soldiers from the battles in Roawia are treated. Haydar has had an arrow removed from his leg and is also still dizzy from a strong blow he suffered to his head. He rests and awaits news to hear if the assault on the castle was successful... This build also serves to show that my character was injured in the fighting.
