Pickup Job for the House of the Unseen - Part 2

Caught in the canopy of the forest known as The Green, the chartered adventuring company House of the Unseen is under attack while attempting to retrieve a chest containing lost mail and other loot.  The attackers are ruffians in the employ of the blackguard Comte Donat Boivin.  The shifting surface of the giant leaf balances the fight a little, but the Comte's forces are going to overwhelm the adventurers soon...


The pirates press the attack.

...but what is that line!?


Who fired that arrow and line?

Reinforcements arrive for the adventurers!  It's the Regular Irregulars sliding down the rope!


The Regular Irregulars arrive...

Sergeant Pherik Mackelly and his men quickly engage the ruffians, the Sergeant himself bracing the Comte and his spy, Perroquet Rouge.


...and turn the tide!

With the help of the Regular Irregulars, the adventurers of the House of the Unseen turned the tables.  The ruffians, sensing defeat through down their weapons and surrendered.  Sergeant Mackelly kept an eye on the spy and an eye on his men taking the ruffians prisoner, but this left him without an eye to keep on Comte Donat.  Where did the Comte escape to?
Barbebrune and his pirates surrender.

Making use of his own rope, the Comte made his escape, swearing he would not be defeated by vagabonds.


Comte Donat Boivin escapes by rope.

With the chest secure the adventurers still had to transport their prisoners and the chest through The Green back to the barony and Barbebrune's pirates were not the only forces at the Comte's disposal...

Behind the Greens

[I needed help to get these pictures taken.  The number of minifigs was too much for the plants to support on their own, so I had a friend hold the leaf steady as I posed the figures and took the pictures.]

[I'm scouting around my yard for a good site for the next scene.  There is plenty of places but crawling around on the ground in the summer heat kicks my butt rapidly.  I need to start taking these pictures much earlier in the day before the heat and humidity become overwhelming.  File that under "Things Other Imagine-ation Bloggers Don't Have to Worry About."]
