Joking around with several other smiths with whom he was sharing the shop today, they'd agreed to do so as a means of swapping lore and techniques, but also build comraderie. Each shared a passion for their chosen trade, had different experiences and specializations, yet were all prepared to work towards a common goal and benefit. This was the very essence of The Knight Shift at play and filled Ren's heart with warmth, beyond that provided by the fuming furnace in the far corner. "Here you are, my friend," he offered, pushing the requested goods across the workbench with a master's conf

Warmth and fulfillment filled Ren's eyes at the sight of a returning Acanthus, her skills having grown so quickly and given rise to her prominence. "You've done well," he added, by way of compliment. "It really doesn't seem like that long ago I was crafting some starting equipment to set you upon your journey. Truly, it makes me feel like my efforts here in the forge amount to something, witnessing your achievements." Taking the order slip, the white-haired smith nodded and smiled, appreciating her request. "This won't take too long. You can either wait here, or try the tavern

Notice was issued promptly upon the works' completion, Ren opting to place orders before sleep. The very thought that someone might get injured, or worse, though his own negligence or laziness haunted the man to this day. "Not on my watch," he'd told his apprentices as they headed home for the night, trying to convince him to do the same. "Whether at the forge or in the field, my duties are the same. A shield made here can be as valuable as holding my own between companions and the mobs that assail them. Arguably moreso, as it places more defenders in play to serve as sentinels."

"Then they served their purpose," Ren replied, a beaming soot-stained smile returned from across the pile of trashed gear unceremoniously dumped on his doorstep. The man had no illusions about his trade or the state in which it might end up. "I make tools to help people survive. The tools themselves can and should be sacrificed, if necessary, because the people cannot - must not." Grabbing a nearby wrought iron ladle, beaten and battered brutally into shape, Ren scooped it into a nearby barrel and poured its contents over his own head. Steam and sizzle followed, as if the man were w

"Ah! Mister Oz. How nice to see you again. You've certainly been keeping me busy of late. Let's see what we have to work on today." Retrieving the proffered goods, Ren examined each in turn, spinning and turning them round to gauge how best to combine their different elements. Tiny imperfections could mar the merging process, and he'd built a reputation that now needed to be maintained. "Shouldn't be a problem. Though I suppose this means you'll be heading back out to grind another dozen waves of mobs into paste, if you're out of scales. Throwing knives and shields also make for

Ren hardly batted an eye, his head tilting to scan the length of the fuller on the first, twisting and turning it to gauge the trueness of its edge. Returning it to the workbench with surprising care, given its intended purpose. Repeating the process with the second sword, he spent extra time examining the weight of the pommel. Something about the smirk upon his face signaled that something might be off. "Give me five minutes." True to his word, Ren returned almost immediately, face beaming with pride and gratitude that his instincts had proven right. "What can I say? I've be

"I can appreciate your desire for as much protection as possible," Ren offered to his latest, yet most notably nervous, customer. "My instincts went the same way, when I started out." A sooty thumb jerked over his shoulder to a set of purple armor in similar style and make to what Laika had requested. "Trust your instincts and keep a handy trinket around. Missing your attacks is more likely to get you killed than taking a few hits wearing this kind of shell." Hefting sword and shield over the counter, Ren nodded as the man's brow furrowed, wondering what happened to the shield.

The hamster wheel in his bleached brain has been spinning full out for far too long, but something struck Ren as odd at the funny hat's sudden return. Squinting through a mildly furrowed brow and struggling through system-reinforced sleep depravation, the smith stared at Oz wondering if he was really there, or if his nut had finally cracked and he'd fallen head first into his own furnace. "Weren't you just here asking to trade because you had no gleaming scales?" Blinks that should have set off more alarm bells failed to do so. He was simply too tired. "Right. Special things make... a

Ren blinks, furtively, not really having a clue what is meant to be happening when a noble-looking lady and her two attendants wander into his smithy. All are dressed for window shopping, rather than metal work. At least, once they begin placing items and materials on various work tables, supplemented by a vast store of materials and some basic written instructions, he finally manages to get their gist. "Oh, uh. Sure? Yeah. I can do this for you. Bear with me just a few moments." Returning minutes later with the work already done, the weapon is ready to be claimed, and protests o

Wandering over to examine the provided items more closely, Ren wiped dripping sweat from his brow to replace it with a greyish sooty smear. "Hrm. That all sounds right and reasonable, though it isn't often I see people bringing in this number of lowest tier items looking for this type of work. You're sure you want to spend the resources on these? Most players outgrow this tier of gear fairly quickly." Realization dawned slowly on the smith's face as he lifted and turned each piece to properly inspect it. "Ah. I see. That won't be a problem here, will it? Fascinating, and very cl

The white-haired smith began toiling immediately upon receipt of the order, several other irons literally hot in the furnace at his side. Shaping, stretching and tugging away at the steel, it slowly took on the desired imitative form. Flaring bursts of shadow contrasting sparking embers soaked into the blade while their opposites swarmed like fireflies in the night. All the while, Ren's rhythmic clanging kept a relentless steady beat, like some pedantic percussion section with the stubborn persistence of dwarves promised their fill of ale, but only if they kept in time.
