CH Part 3

[Meep Meepersons]

The blacksmith grinned at all the customers entering her shop. She pointed at Drak and held up five fingers. "500 gold" She looked at Alena. "Depend on what want to kill" She turned to Kath and raised a brow. "All metal here. Even own special alloy." With that. She placed both hands on the table and scanned all those in the room.

[TCELESBHSUP]

Special alloy? Well, that piqued her curiosity. Her features became the slightest bit more intense, as though she were prepared to be 'wow'ed, watching the blacksmith's eyes. "Your own special alloy, huh? What would that be?" She asked, clearly very interested in the conversation. Despite being a farm-girl before a mercenary adventurer, she was a lover of weapons and armour of all kinds. However, her true favourites boiled down to one simple rule.

The heavier it is and cleaner it cuts, the better. And what better weapon for that than a greatsword? Of course, the Crystal Hearth was a small violation of it- it felt light as a damn feather practically!

[dndman997]

Drak nodded to the blacksmith. "that sounds fair." he said laying the gold down in front of her. "any idea on how long it would take. Even though you do have a lot of work." he continued.

[MiscChaos]

Allowing herself to be distracted for a moment, Alena turns to Ol'gerr and smiles. "That sounds just lovely, thank you. Please, just allow me to finish my business here and we shall be off." Turning to the blacksmith, she looks over the available metals and decides. "I would like my weapon to be reforged with Adamantine metal, if you please." She says, though the words basically have to force themselves from her throat. This is it. There's almost no turning back at this point. She's basically committed to breaking down her trusty weapon and replacing everything but the soul of it and its enhancements.

[Meep Meepersons]

The smith grinned at Kath and pulled a slate of Adamantine from under the table, and a small dagger of unfamiliar metal. "Watch~" She cooed, unsheathing the finely crafted weapon, ans stabbing it through the sheet of Adamantine, nailing it to the counter to the hilt. A loud thunk! Resounded through the room as she did this. "Mazonite, family secret. Want to buy yes?" She said with an obvious greed in her smiling expression, rubbing her rough hands together like a greedy merchant. She then looked to Alena. "two thousand five hundred gold for Adamantine. Lots of metal needed. No worry, core of weapon, is soul of weapon. Core will be in new sword." She assured the obviously wary individual. Her keen appraisal of the weapon showed her as plain as day how cared for the sword was.

[Kittykitty501]

"I look forward to it Alena"

She smiles and then the elf turns to the blacksmith and runs a few thoughts through her head of differnt bows she might fancy having. she wanted the most beautiful but stronger bow she could get. She finally just decided on what to ask the black smith and stepped forward, hoping she wasn't causing too much of a hassle when she probaly distratced the black smith when she spoke.

"I am looking to enchange my coin for a bow.. something that will knock my enemies clean of their feet, no fancy magic just something that will get the job done"

She lifted her longbow and scanned all over the weapon like a lover eyes up her partner but it was just a simple bond between handler and her weapon. The bow she had now had been in her possession for quite a long time, and was looking a bit worn down anyway.

[MiscChaos]

While Alena had already thought that, it was reassuring to hear the blacksmith, someone who knows weapons at a much higher level than she, to say that the soul would stay the same even if she changed the body. It didn't put all her concerns to rest, she doubts anything could, but it did quiet them a bit. Still, after that demonstration, she's interested in that Mazonite. "And how much for the Mazonite?" She asks

[TCELESBHSUP]

Well. Nobody here could afford the Adamantine. Certainly not Alena, at that. And the Mazonite... That was going to be even more expensive. She visibly cringed at the price point, making it fairly obvious that she didn't have the money on-hand. Though, she truly wanted that Mazonite! It seemed like a superior material by far. How was she going to haggle it down to a manageable price, however... She wasn't a merchant in the slightest. "... I see." She still had an interested tone, but a conflicted one. Was there alternative ways she could pay? Doubtful.

But she had to ask anyway. "Very expensive... I can understand that, especially out here. But..."

[dndman997]

Drak saw the blade carve through adamantine "how much to use that instead of using the base metal along with silver edged?" he asked astounded by it.

[Meep Meepersons]

The blacksmith grinned and raised her head high in confidence at everyone's appraisal of her families special alloy. "If have materials, I can craft for cheaper. But Mazonite can make more. Adamantine too rare, cannot be maked." She explains, hinting a cheaper price for the Mazonite. "Half price for Mazonite." She then looked to Drak and shook her head. "Silver no good on Mazonite. Wont do." She then reached under the counter and pulled a dark looking, elegant longbow from under the counter, placing it atop the rest of the weapons in front of her. "Elf, two thousand gold for dark wood bow." The bow was easily a masterwork weapon, even someone with a low appraisal skill could tell.

[dndman997]

"oh well" he said still a bit stunned on the new material "i dont have to have silver anyways" He grinned at the smith and her work.

[MiscChaos]

"I wish to use Mazionite to reforge my weapon. That will be 1,250 gold, yes? Alena says, forking over the money needed. After that demonstration and the blacksmith's pride on having her family's material praised, she's sure her sword will come back better than ever.

[TCELESBHSUP]

Grand. She still couldn't afford that, personally. Where as Alena could... A sigh escaped her. She supposed she could just get it reforged in steel. Though it would be nice to give Kon a better gift. "... Any way I could haggle with you?" She was pretty blunt, really. Not a merchant- just a simple farm-girl who learned how to swing swords around and such. But hey, she was honest about it, and damn proud of herself. Standing back up to her full height, her arms would cross, and she'd wait for the woman to respond.

[Kittykitty501]

Ol'gerr lifted the bow and examined it, looking over every peice of the clearly fine crafted bow. she gave a quick thoughtful look and then reached into her back pack and pulled out enough coin to cover the cost. It seemed well worth it and she wasn't one to barter. placing the coin on the table for the blacksmith in a little bag she lifted the bow over shoulder and handed in her old Bow to the blacksmith

"maybe you could fix this up for someone else"

she thanked the vendor and waited for Alena to go to the pub for their chat and drink

[Meep Meepersons]

The woman rubbed her chin and looked at everything. She grabbed Alena's sword and put it behind the counter. She took a thousand from the pile Alena offered, and pushed her back the rest. "Large sword give much scrap." She looked at Drak. "Reforge your weapon with Mazonite cost one thousand-five hundred gold of pieces." She then looked over to Kath. "What want for this?" She asked, poking the greatsword. "Can buy for eight hundred gold if want." She had a keen sense for mercantilism.

Misc: -1000 GP
Kitty: -2000 GP

[dndman997]

Drak nodded to the smith "sounds fair to me" he replied handing her the extra gold that he hasnt paid yet. Drak looked around at her work "since you seem busy would you like help with cleaning or anything?" He figured he would help her out with straightening up. She did seem busy after all and he could clean while she would focus on her work.

[MiscChaos]

Taking her spare gold back, Alena smiles. Soon, she'll be getting her sword modernized and improved! That leaves her without a weapon for now, but worse come to worse she still has her fangs, her clerical magic, and good ol' brute strength. She's not overly worried about something happening within town. There's just one more thing she needs to know before she can go with Ol'gerr. "Good madam, about how long do you think such a task would take?"

[TCELESBHSUP]

Kathryn sighed, shaking her head. "I'm wanting that reforged to be Mazonite and a greataxe rather than a greatsword... But, s'pose I can just settle for regular steel. Can't afford the best." She seemed quite unhappy with this. She wanted to pass it on to Kon in a different form! If only she could actually afford it. Or barter somehow. She wasn't good at this... "Isn't there anything I can do to perhaps get the price lowered? Absolutely anything I can do."

[Taria]

Praedy follows where everyone else seems to be going and sees a room full of shinies and the big lady in charge of many great shinies. Praedy sneaks up on the comander shiny lady as quietly as she can so the she can squish a goo baby against her butt.

[Motoko]

Heads into the bar with a sigh, she knew kath would get her her cut so she went ahead and went on her way "bartender!" shew would say opening the door forcefully and stepping towards the counter. "ale please!" she would say glancing around the room.
