Smuggler's Cove

Name: Jerret
Location: Personal Grotto, Qeynos
Server: Antonia Bayle

After finishing Stella's Dream I was asked to decorate up a personal grotto for another one of my raid guildies.  I said it would take me awhile because of a few other projects and being busy with life and such and he was okay with that.

I had a completely different idea than what I ended up with.  I was going to go for a Little Mermaid theme, but instead I ended up with pirates.  And I'm rather glad I chose pirates!  Because pirates are awesome!

The personal grotto is enormous so one of my goals was to help it seem a little smaller.

Here we have the Smuggler's Market where you can find just about anything you're looking for!  However, you probably won't find it at the price you'd like.

Past the Smuggler's Market you'll find the food court.  Here we have The Sword 'n Barrel where you can find the finest brews in all of Norrath!  Unfortunately, the rum is gone.

The Sword 'n Barrel took around 300+ Bubinga Lumber to build.

It didn't really help this room appear to be smaller.  The barrel is enormous, but I felt it was the right size anyway.  And I really didn't want to redo it.

There are four rooms inside the barrel.  The bar,

The casino via a door hidden behind a curtain.

Currency Exchange for all your gambling needs (rum make substitute as currency).

Below the casino and bar you will find the storage and brewery.

You might want to be careful though.  I hear there's some bad deals that go down here.

Outside you'll find some little shops with tasty delights such as sausages from Sausage In A Bun, turkey legs from Slab On A Stick, tacos from Lettuce In A Shell, pizza from Cheese In A Pie and don't forget to grab some dessert from Cake In A Cup!

Further into the grotto you will come across Drinal Lane one of the many pirate towns hidden around the Cove.

A little park for the pirates to rest at.  Pirates enjoy pretty things too!

Entrance to Drinal Lane.  I've named it Drinal Lane because the guild's name is Guardians of Drinal and I felt it appropriate.

1 Drinal Lane

2 Drinal Lane

 3 Drinal Lane

 4 Drinal Lane

At the end of the lane you'll find a nice cozy fishing area the pirates like to hang out at.

Gateway of Realms is where the pirates go to travel to other areas of Norrath.

These flag stands will hold the Velious portal pictures once Jerret puts them in the house.

And lastly, guild hall portal and other non-pictures portal items.

And there you have it!  Smuggler's Cove is not currently on the leaderboards, but it is open to visitors.

Soulfire Bristlebane Day 2014

Name: Soulfireannex
Location: Freeblood Estate, Freeport
Server: Antonia Bayle

Generally for Bristlebane Day I play some sort of prank on the owner, Euryale, and her patrons.  One year Layla and I filled the place with frogs.  Another year I turned EVERYTHING upside down and put it on the ceiling.  Last year we filled the place full of Meatbeasts.  This year I wanted to do something different.  I wanted to create a place that could be maintained without my help if need be.  So I decided to create a whole venue based on Bristlebane Day.

I started the project in March.  I had many different ideas at that time, but I ended up using completely different ideas.  This was a lot of fun to put together and I couldn't help but giggle everything I did something evil or just plain awesome.

I meant to snag a picture of the front of the main Soulfire venue, but I forgot to.  Patrons usually use the main Soulfire venue in Freeport to zone in and use a various portal to one of the Soulfire Annex venues during holidays and some events.  It has made redecorating a lot easier.  I never have to alter the main venue now at all.

I saved a billion layout files of the main hub and then I packed the entire club into the moving crate and moved the moving crate under the floor.  I positioned the Freeblood Estate portal in the middle of the front room with a couple if the Bristlebane Jokers and a Rivervale sign that read:

Dear Euryale,

I hope you don't mind,

That I took the time,

To redo your bar,

But have no fear,

For it has not gone far!

Come and join me Euryale, dear!

Love always,

Bristlebane

Let's have a peek now!  Here's the entryway.

 Each room has a sign on it that tells you a little about the room!

I tried to think up the most hilarious thing I could use to make the bar out of.  There were lots of ideas, but I settled on pillows!

I even made the stage out of pillows!

You might have noticed that some of the chair-pillows have pink in the center.  Make sure you read the inside of the books!

Of course I had to do some things upside down.  The fish seem to have gotten free of their tanks!

Big fishtank - Though perhaps I should call it the Elephants Under Water Tank.

Second smaller fishtank.

Custom fireplace made from smokestacks and the goblin forges(I think that's the name of it.)

I think there's something wrong here...where's the feast??

Oh...I think I found it.

Er...this petting zoo is a little odd, but then this is Bristlebane!  I guess he likes to take care of his dice.  What do they eat?  Rice?

A Meatbeast is making fun of the dice since he doesn't have to be in a pen.

Because sometimes you just need a break.

Of course with the new Bristlebane Bouncers I had to use them in some way!

Bounce up and just follow the rainbow!

Woot!  We've found treasure!  Hang on...wait a second...That's not real gold!  Dangit Bristlebane!

Don't worry if you fall all you need to do is find the rainbow.

I apparently forgot to screenshot the last room.  I'll update with those screenshots as soon as I can.
