Well, that might have worked, if the Dullahan doesn’t come back the next night, will he try again the following night, or give up trying to get to her altogether?
He also doesn’t seem to have a Death Coach, was that intentional for the storyline’s purposes, or due to limitations of LEGO bricks available to you?
Yes, the purpose behind the “special” ring was that he would give up rather than trying to come back the next night.
The Dullahan does not always have a coach in the stories, although he often does. I thought it would make for clearer shots to have him with only the horse in this story.
“In other legends he sides with the legendary ghost, the Banshee, and they drive a black cart (called the Coiste Bodhar, death coach) drawn by six black horses and whips them with his whip made of a human spinal cord. When he rides out on his own he uses the whip to pluck out the eyes out mortals foolish enough to spy on him during his nightly runs. It is said that the Dullahan hates those with sharp eyesight. The only fear he has is gold, which any lonely traveller at night would be wise to have to ward off him off. “
Hurray for Dave!
Just thinking a little POOF was not quite what should have been there.
LOL, I wanted to comment on this too 🙂
Love the smoke-effect though.
