inspired by classic fantasy novels, comics role playing adventure, this is not just a build but a story too…

The story develops as the build progresses:

On the lower level, do our heroes find the hidden entrance or do they start by scaling the rocky exterior?
Inside the dungeons is a nest of giant spiders along with a previous victim, but there’s also treasures and a secret door.
Up the spiral staircase, a guard is having target practice along with his meal.
The next floor reveals the baron’s chambers. Amongst his treasures is a magnificent sword and a mysterious green gem.
Up the ladder to the roof, where the rest of the guards block the way to the lonely tower.
And finally to what seems like a very comfortable cell. Was the princess really a prisoner?
Having rescued the princess, our heroes can take their leave. But, what’s this… like all good fantasy stories, there’s the big boss to defeat and she looks angry. The giant spider can be posed on the vertical walls with the optional string and by securing one or more of her legs into the exposed hollow studs (when not used for this they can be covered by grey 1x1 tiles)

From a model perspective:

I wanted to build something that works from every angle and was fully enclosed. But, it comes apart in levels as our heroes explore.

I also wanted something with an irregular base, making use of several different angled plates. This took some working through, requiring several rebuilds until I was happy with it.
