...and there is still a price to pay.

Hey guys,

heres my second entry for this year's Colossal Castle Contest. (beeing the medieval bathing house the first one) I plan to enter it into the secret hideout category, but lets move on to the backstory:

A long time ago the old fortress, that was built to guard the river crossing, was abandoned by the rightful ruler of the kingdom. Nowadays the last two towers, that remain, are inhabitated by the king of outlaws and his band of highwaymen.
So after all every merchant, pilgrim or knight errant, who wants to cross the river still has to pay a toll. What it is, you ask? Not much, just everything you have, your money and your lives.

Wow, fantastic work! It looks amazing! How does it fit into the category?

[KumpelKante]

THose towers, the bigger one in particular are the bandits' ("the outlaw faction") base. The category demands "a stand-alone fortress, outpost, or hideout ", so i think it fit, though i built a scene around that base.

Brilliant work on the bridge. The towers built into the rock is excellent!

[Ronin Dragonslayer]

Excellent build! I love the rockwork and the bridge design.

[Gavin of Lockwood]

The bridge is great, but the overall castle design is what caught my eye first.
