Some years ago, after the first Tinkerfest, I decided to start creating a tinkering house in the house type with the best setting in my opinion, the gorowyn houses (finished the 26th of august 2012). We could only have one house, so I picked my only gorowyn char without a house, aka, my Druid.
The basement is a perfect grotto, so I decided to mix tinkering and greenery. Odeane, my evil warden, decided to hide her private lair behind a tinkering mask. She built a pipe organ, a bar, and several contraptions, including a green portal leading to her grotto. The grotto itself is the place where she meditates and pray to her evil god, asking him to put fear in the heart of her enemies, in the middle of a dark maze.
The house can be found on Storms Server, Timorous Heights, under Odeane. It's published under the name "Bricolage cachant l'antre d'un druide" (grands logements).
On for the pics!
Here is the entrance with a tinkered pipe organ.
To the left is the bar, where you can drink with your gnomish friends.
Outside is the balcony with an open bar and restaurant. You can even park your tinkered disk on the side.
The right path from the entrance leads to the portal room where several mechanical replicas are waiting on pedestals.
The portal itself. The roadmarker tells the visitor that he really shouldn't cross this unstable portal. There are evil things behind, and even *shudders* greenery! (yes, the name of the house and the post are there to tell players that they should cross the portal)
Upstairs, after a rotating staircase, is the work room and the bedroom. To the left are all kind of forges.
To the right is the workroom... and it seems there's a weird contraption that allows to create gears!
The bedroom is confortable in a mechanized way. Some flowers are growing outside the window, and it seems some crept in... or through the portal... There was a flower at the door, and now there's this weird plant on the floor!
If you go back and dare to step through the portal, you'll find yourself in the traditionnal slug-covered stairway, leading to a creepy cemetary.
The back door leads to a maze where Odeane likes to rest and pray. Here's the entrance:
One of the dead ends:
In the center of the maze, stands the altar of Cazic Thule, in the middle of a Druid ring...
An eerie feeling clouds the place and we won't stay longer to avoid disturbing the druid.
I hoped you liked this house!
