"Here you are, dear lady." Ren provided provided Majineko the sharpened claws, still wondering whether his designs would hold up to intentions. It wasn't a conventional approach, but he always welcomed a challenge. "I hope you don't mind, but thought that this might also catch your fancy." Opening his hand to reveal a pair of crude bells looped into a simple red ribbon, Ren smiled sheepishly at the awkwardness of the gesture. "It just seemed in keeping with your theme. I'm no artisan, unfortunately, so they don't sound particularly good, but maybe the sentiment will count for something?"

His white hair stained and streaked with grey from the soot, arms and chest soaked with sweat through the simple linen tunic he wore while he worked at the forge. Ren had been put to task without end of late, yet his mood was no worse for wear. Smiling through obvious fatigue, the young smith greeted Acanthus personally, taking her order and assuring her it would be done. "Give me about an hour," he suggested. The magic of Aincrad would bend and give way to what should have taken days or even weeks in the real world. True to his word, the deadline was met, though the smith looked like

Wiping a seemingly endless flow of sweat from his brow, Ren spared himself a moment to send out an unusual message. It was rare to have a crafter tell you your goods were ready for pickup when you hadn't even placed one. To: Foyle From: Rencesvals I heard that you recently completed the shark bait program, in your street clothes. The boss asked me to do something about that for you.

Ren had gotten so busy that he'd been forced to take on an apprentice. The poor boy was at a bit of a loss taking in the order, having never been trusted with anything more than nails and horseshoes up to this point, and soon had to call on his master for help. "Ah, I see the issue. Here, we'll need to make some minor adjustments. Just a moment, sir. We'll have this done in a jiffy." Wielding a hammer with expert hands and a crafted mastered through the gauntlet of unceasing trial, Ren molded raw materials and assorted bits of equipment soon forging something new and more suitable to

Grateful for the help, Ren took Kyot0's offer to regain his footing. "Larbrook!" Odd that he would turn with such concern for an NPC, but the tank seemed to have a big heart, regardless of the nature of his wards. Their ally was slowly finding his own footing, his head having left quite the crater in the stone wall where it had first impacted. "It's a damned good thing you had your helm on," Ren offered, bracing him as he stood. You're right, Kyo. That could have been a lot worse. Lesson learned. I need to be more watchful, and should have been standing up front." A mild blush o

A massive armored form burst through the wall, immediately to their right, before Larbrook or Ren could utter a response to Kyot0. The answer made itself self-evident as the hulking form of Kantaras burst through the masonry and flattened Larbrook against the opposite wall face, the barbarian's axe skittering across the flagstone flooring as he crumpled under the assault. "Larbrook!" Ren flung himself forward, raising his shield just in time to spare the NPC a potentially lethal blow as their assailant brought down its oversized bastard sword. Pushed to his knees by the sheer weight an

A modest smile crossed the man's face, as if appreciating the sincerity of Kyot0's reply. Yes, it was a common one, but that alone gave him hope. "A lot of people say that, which is actually a good thing, when you think about it. Isn't it inspiring that so many people are willing to work towards a common goal? Outside, people and society were often described as being selfish and obsessed with gain. Here, I see people seeking to gain power for the benefit of others. It's why I setup my shop and offer to help anyone I can: to make them stronger. If I can do that, even in some small wa

"Wait... what?" Confused and still a little dazed, Ren struggled to believe what Larbrook just declared. Had he really closed his eyes? True, he really wasn't accustomed to this kind of violence, but these were just mobs. It wasn't like they were attacking actual people. "My shop?" Kyoto's question had pierced the cloudy haze in his mind and lured him successfully back to the present. "Uh... I guess? I go where I'm needed, though there hasn't been much demand for adventuring of late." Looking a bit sheepish, he scratched at the mop of shock white hair on his head with a gauntleted fis

"Uh..." Ren seemed to hesitate for a moment, never having actually had to make decisions for others in the middle of combat. "Oh, hell..." Stepping forward, the slender white-haired knight slammed his tower shield hard into the minotaur's flank. Already distracted by Kyoto's attack, it swung high and wide, glancing off the top of the shield and giving Ren the opening he'd hoped to create. Shifting his stance, his protective slab turned away while Durendal struck true, straight into the mob's chest. It looked surprised, for an instant, before its entire body collapsed into a pile of gl

Larbrook held up a large, meaty, mitt-like fist implying they should halt. Ren nearly ran into it, face-planting into his own shield instead. "Oof!" He blinked a few times before peeking over the gigantic metal slab he somehow held aloft before him. Game mechanics were always great when it came to endorsing the ridiculous. There was no way, in real life, that he could ever hope to heft such a massive hunk of steel. In here, as long as he equipped it, the system let him spin it around like it was a frisbee. "Looks like you get the nimble one," Larbrook muttered, chuckling inexpli

Larbrook ignored their banter, clearly disinterested by the vaguaries of player trades and commerce. 'Big axe for smashing,' was much more up his alley. "Tailors are good. You should be able to drum up some solid business. Few other players have been actively tending their shops lately. Do you specialize in any particular style or garment?" Good natured and jovial, by nature, Ren was genuinely interested in the man's work. "Can you tell us anything about our targets, Larbrook? It might help to know what we're facing." "Big. Hairy. Smelly. Strong. Don't let them hit you

The white-haired smith smiled as he passed the polished and packaged pieces over to their new owner, neatly tucked and wrapped in protective burlap as added proof of the craftsman's pride at having satisfied yet another order. "Ah, yes. Freyd," he replied, smiling with weary eyes weathered with fatigue. The shop kept him busy. "He sends a surprising amount of work my way, and I'm grateful for it. That's exactly why The Knight Shift was founded in the first place. Please pass on my thanks and be sure to send others my way, if you find anyone in need. We live to serve." The last words

"Ah." Picking up the order slip, Ren peered pensively for a moment before nodding his understanding. "Simple but effective. We have lots of that." Snaring a hammer hanging between a pair of nearby hooks, while wiping his other hand on the cleanest part of a soot-stained leather apron, the smith nabbed a steel ingot from the ether and set it into position. Working the bellows to temperature, Ebbon would watch as he slowly pulled at the glowing, semi-molten metal and tugged it into shape, folding and striking repeatedly like it was some sort of exceptionally rigid taffy.

"Ah, Wulfrin, wasn't it? Outgrown the gear we provided so quickly?" Ren gave a hearty laugh, belying his slender size. Most would consider him to scrawny to serve as a blacksmith, but he certainly made up for in zeal what he might have been lacking in size. "I had to whip up a few extra pieces to have the right components for your order. Fortune smiled, thankfully, and so we find ourselves done quicker than expected. I trust that these will meet your needs. Please return when you reach your next tier! It's always a pleasure to have repeat business." Pushing a pair of articles acro
