My Black Knight. Sorry, my export won’t work so I have to screen shot itNo problems. Your Black Knight has a very Warduke-vibe from the 1980s Dungeons & Dragons toys. Come to think of it… that skull on the shield looks awfully familiar. Hmmm… paging Mr. Hebert.
Harlekin, Dies Irae is going to take me a bit. Your designs often tell their own story. No narrative required! I like her alot, so I want something that fits.
Of course, I take great care with everyone’s characters. It’s one of the reasons this forum moves at such a slow pace. A story might take days to conceive. However, once I start writing, I find it hard to stop! Thank you all for your patience.
A PEACE OFFERING

“Greetings, barbarian. I am the Ambassadress. The Wise Ones have sent me to replace the Ambassador. The man whom you murdered when he arrived at your camp. Which gives me pause to question their wisdom. How is it that your kind is able to understand the Source, yet fails to comprehend the Valley People… my people.
“We do not covet the Source. We know its nature and potential. Long ago, we harnessed its power. So terrible it is that we swore none shall possess it or ever use it in anger. We have kept it from outsiders for generations. Despite our efforts, we find ourselves having to fight you to hold it.
“No doubt, you heard the legends and myths of the Valley. Your lust for wealth and power never ceases to amaze. We hid this land in a web of lies and rumors. Yet, here you are with sword in hand – and an insatiable bloodlust.
“The Wise Ones made a choice. They elected to destroy the Source. You have no comprehension what this means for our civilization. Our wonders are gone. We have lost our warm homes and moon-glow towers. The Source allowed us miracles of health and well-being. Now we will become sick and old. We shall fade into the very legends that we created to protect our Valley.
“I hold the last of the Source. The Wise Ones offer it in hopes of a truce. They ask that you only go and trouble us no more. You have what you want. There is no reason for more violent death. My people are dying from plague as we speak. Let us slip into the twilight in peace. The Spirits forgive your souls.”
The invading general took the Source from the Ambassadress. He admired the glowing blue power encased in a rose-shaped vessel. The general turned to his army and held the Source above his head for all to celebrate their victory. The barbarian horde roared with approval. He then drew his sword. He turned to dispatch the Ambassadress, but she had disappeared.
Thinking nothing of it, the general decided to leave the Valley. There was no point in sacking the city and losing men. The army would return after the plague took the elves. Then there would be no resistance and free plunder.
From the highest tower, the Ambassadress watched the horde disappear over the mountain. Suddenly, there was a flash of blue light from behind the peaks. The barbarians were no more.
Quick and Easy Challenge #7 “Wild Cardâ€
Design a playing card. No real explanation for this card other than I wanted a “themed” design.
Jack of Clubs
Thanks, Archangel.
Quick and Easy Challenge #6 “Smart Phoneâ€
The expedition came across an amazing discovery. The captain cursed himself and the party. No one had a camera!
“Kaylee, can I borrow your Smart Phone?â€
“Sure, daddy!â€

“Hey, kid, take a picture. It will last longer. No, seriously, take a picture before there’s more than one person here missing a limb.”
“Big score, huh? Yeah, no one knew that this was down here. I designed this nifty detector that can sense rare gems. Archaeologists couldn’t find it. I did. So it’s mine. Well, I was going to take it anyway.”
“You tourists, man, what a bunch of slack-jawed yokels. You have no idea what this cup really is or what it means. Here’s a hint: the legends are true.”
“No, it’s not the Holy Grail. Even though the Conquistadors meant it to be. It has fine jewels and more importantly white gold. You don’t know what that means for my research.”
“Why do I even bother trying to educate you people? There are chemical properties in this that I can use. To do what? Get more gold!”
“You trailer trash vacationing in Mexico. Go back home and buy some more lottery tickets. You want riches? Do what I do, go out and take them!”
“Remember this day, morons. This is the highlight of your summer. You know what? I want more than the chalice. Chalice… the freaking cup! Hand over your wallets.”
