Welcome to Budehuc (Open)
Jun. 8th, 2009 06:06 pmThe Castle next to the Lake had obviously seen better days - the walls around it are crumbling in place, and the castle itself is swathed in ivy, but it was the charm of a well-worn manor with the rich red brick, and fluted white columns.
Budehuc was by no means empty - if one enters by the main steps, they would see that several shops had formed a half-circle around an old fountain, as small groups of people milled about, chatting, bartering, and sight-seeing. There are white-feathered Duck folks, tall scaly yellow and green lizardmen, people of various skin tones and costumes, it looked almost like some place out of a children's story. The whole place gave off a very welcoming, open-arms feeling to anyone passing through, or looking for a place to get off their feet.
At the gate is a young girl in plate armor, hefting a spear, carefully watching for signs of trouble, with several bundle-carrying dogs resting by her feet.
The air has the fresh clean scent of the lake, a whiff of horses, vegetables ripening in the sun, and flowers blooming on the summer day.
((Budehuc is open to all visitors, but mind your manners. If anyone acts hostile in here without good cause, Thomas will try to evict you.))

Assessment: Castle
Apr. 22nd, 2009 03:23 pmYipes, I got my work cut out for me.
Budehuc Castle is beautiful, in the past, and it still has a nice charm. But it's really terribly run-down, and only about six people still live and work there. There's huge, gaping holes in the rear walls, enough cobwebs to weave into a tablecloth...
And there's the ship! Some huge galleon got itself wedged up against the castle, making oddly convenient holes in both itself and the basement hall that you can walk in and out whichever one. It'd be might neat... if the entrance wasn't at what looks like a graveyard (yipes!)
There's a lot of work, and I do not know where to begin, but the people here are nice. Cecile is a little zealous about protecting the castle, but I can tell she has a good heart, Sebastian is a little stuff I guess but he knows about Budehuc better then anyone else.
Well, I'm going to turn in and talk with everyone else tomorrow.
