[After the requisite amount of time, a blinding flash fills your vision. When it clears again, you find yourself standing (or sitting, for the less balanced among you) on the beach … except you’re a hell of a lot smaller. And the sand dunes are a hell of a lot bigger.
You and your knights are each approximately an inch tall, with exceptions made for the lucky dragons and other large non-humanoids, who are the correct size, proportionally. A large flat stretch of sand is on one side of you, with a fresh mound of easily moldable sand next to that. Not that there’s any shortage of sand on the beach. In addition to that, you will find a box full of tools that you can use to craft your sandcastles, including shovels in all shapes and sizes, buckets, cups, and other basic sand stuff. There is also a box labeled SPECIAL SUPPLIES, which has the following items in it:
+ One flag (in team colors)
+ One collapsible drawbridge (push the button to make it life-size)
+ One collapsible portcullis (same as the drawbridge)
+ One cute plastic dragon (person-height)
+ One packet of “instant moat” (just add water!)
You will find that all the tools work at amazing speeds with very little effort. Constructing an epic multi-story castle is very doable even within this short time frame.]

Re: BUILD
[still working on the base (which is pretty big-- but he's adding more to it now so that the dungeon can be connected to it).
ALSO GEAR DESIGNS.]
Re: BUILD
[pushing the button and dropping the portcullis down on top! SUCCESSFUL TRAP DOOR DUNGEON GET]
Re: BUILD
Let's get to work on the towers, now that we have this, then.
Re: BUILD
Re: BUILD
[gets to work on correcting things, then...! the dungeon becomes one of the cogs of the gear and the rest of it gets pretty round.]
Re: BUILD
Re: BUILD
Okay, now... let's make circular archway, to go with the circle theme, since we need a way to get in.
Re: BUILD
[doorway time!]
Re: BUILD
For the rooms, we need ... a kitchen, a room. . . or, should we have two rooms? And, we need a ballroom, but, I guess that could be in the center, and connecting to all of them.

Re: BUILD
gear designs are a lot more subtle here, mostly around the base of the giant room]
Re: BUILD
Re: BUILD
making sure there are a lot of details in the ballroom too :3]
Re: BUILD
[climbs outside for the end of it and makes the clock face and starts working his way down, making gears and patterns on the outside of the tower]
Re: BUILD
Re: BUILD
[standing at the base and taking a look at it]
I think that's pretty good!
Re: BUILD
Re: BUILD
Maybe if we take the chains from the drawbridge we can make a pulley inside the tower. To lift things up!
Re: BUILD
That would be a good idea, I think, and, it would appeal to the science part, of what she wants.
