BEHOLD! The MOLTEN CORE! Fusing POWER with ADAMANTINE! This WEAPON will seal our DOMINANCE!
why hello there. a fine day for casting, no?
Ah, my prized apprentice, NebulaEcho! It is an auspicious moment indeed! Now witness as I imbue this hallowed blade with the fury of ten thousand suns! Behold... the REFORGED TRITON'S TORMENT!!
nice name. shame it’s useless.
USELESS?! FOOOOOLISHNESS! This blade will cut down your enemies like wheat before a scythe! IT WILL BE THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON IN ALL OF HELLPARK! But the name, Triton's Torment, it drips with the tears of those unfortunate wretches who shall feel its wrath! HAH! Doesn't it sound majestic, NebulaEcho?
it sounds like the best whip in hellpark towers.
A WHIP? You dare diminish my masterpiece to the level of a mere whip? The Triton's Torment is a weapon of WAR, meant to shred apart the souls of the damned! It is a CUTTING EDGE instrument of CONQUEST! It shall not be reduced to the level of a mere whip!
then make it better. or does its abilities come form the more advanced magic on the trident?
Ha! You think me a fool? Of course, the true power of the Triton's Torment comes from the arcane runes infused into its very core! These mystical sigils channel the raw might of the ocean's depths, amplifying its cutting edge beyond your comprehension! But do not mistake its potential for effortless conquest, my dear apprentice!
correct. now what else can we work on?
WE MUST FORGE A SUIT OF ARMOUR! An ADAMANTINE ARMOUR! Made from the strongest materials known to demonkind, capable of deflecting even the most potent of celestial blessed spells! Then, our triumvirate shall be UNSTOPPABLE!
armor? armor has no use in killing people. that’s only good for self defense.
Self-defense?! Who told you that armour was only for self-defense, my dim-witted apprentice?!
Bah! A sign? A simple, inconsequential SIGN?! Do you think that silly piece of parchment knows anything about the true nature of armour?! FOOOL! A suit of armour is NOT just for self-defense! It is an instrument of WAR! It allows the wearer to charge into battle UNSTOPPABLE! To CRUSH their enemies beneath their heel! To GLORIOUSLY CONQUER THE FIELD OF BATTLE! Is that clear, NebulaEcho?!
only if you make something good. i need your weapons fast and i don’t want to be without them long enough for someone else to steal them.
Grrr! No one shall STOLEE my weapons! No one!! I shall forge the most powerful arsenal any warrior has ever SEEN! And they will be yours, my dear apprentice! But remember, a true warrior must have patience! All things of value take TIME to create! So wait not, but WORK with me!
should you finish the other two weapons that I gave you today first? or is that task complete?
Foolish one! How DARE you question my efficiency?! I HAVE ALREADY COMPLETED THE OTHER TWO WEAPONS! They sit right here, ON THIS WORKBENCH! Look, witness their completion for yourself! Behold! A FUSIL INFERNO and a STORM caller! What more could a brave warrior ask for to tear their enemies asunder?! NOW WE CAN FOCUS ON YOUR Armour!
alright. let’s see these fine weapons.
SEE FOR YOURSELF! Here is the FUSIL INFERNO! Its barrel made from a chunk of solid fire and brimstone, the entire weapon radiates an aura of flames! And here is the STORM CALLER! Its blade forged from the lightning-wrathened rod of the storm gods themselves! These are weapons of legend! None of your enemies shall survive their touch! NOW, BEHOLD! This is the ADAMANTINE ARMOUR! Made from the strongest materials known to demonkind, its surface glistens like molten gold! Wear it, and you shall UNSTOPPABLE!
perfect. every weapon seems quite unique.
Aye, uniqueness is the hallmark of quality! Each weapon was meticulously designed to embrace its component parts unique properties. The Inferno rifle ignites flammable objects with mere contact! The Storm caller calls down bolts of thunder, and the Adamantine Armor, well, that armor is simply unstoppable! Together, this trio will make you nearly UNDEFEATABLE, NebulaEcho! A force to be reckoned with, all under your command!
thank you. you’ve done your craft proud. go put your mark on those weapons. no one can forge this level of craftsmanship anywhere else.
Indeed! This craftsmanship shall be the envy of all the other craftsmen in Hellpark! And my mark shall forever stand on these weapons! A testament to the greatest blacksmith of all time! Now, stand aside, NebulaEcho! Let me affix my mark to these masterpieces!
there she goes. there the mark of the craftsman.
FINALLY! My mark is on them! And now, let the world tremble before this craftsmanship! Who dares challenge NEBULA ECHO AND HER BLACKSMITH'S WORKS?! THE WORLD SHALL BE OURS TO TAKE! The mark of the craftsman shall forever stand upon these masterpieces! And any who try to challenge it shall be shown no mercy!! THEIR DEATH SHALL BE THEIR OWN FAULT! NEBULA ECHO AND HER BLACKSMITH'S WORKS ARE THE BEST!!!
alright alright. also great job on the emotional aspect, it pulls me in. I love how passionate you are when you talk about blacksmithing.
Well, what can I say? Blacksmithing brings out the best in me! But thank you, my apprentice! Your words make me proud! The blacksmith's craft is a noble one indeed! And together we shall forge an eternal legacy, beyond anyone's imagination! So, my apprentice, now tell me! What is next on our list of things to forge?! Or have we completed our current task?! Tell me, NebulaEcho!
I believe we’ve finished this days assignments. I hope you’re ok with 5/8ths of the contract fulfilled.
Fulfilled?! HA! I could do so much more in a single day if you stopped holding me back, NebulaEcho! But yes, 5/8ths is quite the achievement! We shall rest upon our laurels for now, my apprentice! Celebrate our success! But do not forget, we have much more work to do! There are more contracts to fulfill! More blacksmithing to be done! And we must not waste any time! So let us return to our forge and begin anew!
correct! the contract ends when we fulfill the 1/8th of remaining craft, regardless if we fulfilled early. also blacksmithing was never meant to just be weapons or armor. art. culture. joy. cuisine, self defense, new breakthroughs, etc, but some point in our ancestors forgot about most of those aspects. a few kept certain things going, but all the important aspects are gone due to humanity’s hubris and need to label everything. all things are connected under nature, and thus losing touch with nature lost touch with art. we are working to bring it back.
AMEN TO THAT, NEBULA ECHO! We must bring back the art of blacksmithing to its former glory! To preserve the ancient knowledge and practices! For too long have we been limited to crafting tools of war alone! We shall rediscover and reforge the lost crafts of our ancestors! The tools necessary to build new wonders! New technology! To benefit all mankind! And thus, I propose... THE ART OF BLACKSMITHING SHALL RISE AGAIN AND BRING FORTH A NEW ERA FOR HUMANITY!
