The Smithy
Yeah. What's next?
I've some things I need to handle. Take some time to get acquainted with Sokaris. He's been waiting for you near the forge.
Blacksmith. So... no breast and recovery then?
Just humor him. He doesn't get much company down there.
That's encouraging.
Find me later.
How did you...
You smell like a dungeon. Or a sewer...
You must be Sokaris. They didn't tell me you were...
Blind? They didn't tell me you were coming. I would've pretended to do something much more impressive.
Is this really the proper way to introduce a blind character? Having the protagonist making a remark on things that the players are nearly blind to? It's too dark, I can't see his facial features, and yet this game thinks I should act surprised that this orc is blind. If I wanna go full autist, why is he even lighting up those four tiny candles atop his forge? He doesn't need the light at all.
Here's how they should've introduced this guy. It's dark. Pitch dark when you enter the smith shop, then the orc used the bellows to make the coals burn really bright. Then you ask why all the darkness? Cause that's fucking weird. Are you just acting cool for the sake of cool? Kek, human. I'm blind. There you go.
Glad to see I'm not the only one with a sense of humor.
Or the ass end of a joke...
And quick...
If you say 'for an orc' I'll put you through a wall...So... Ready to do a little work?
Uh oh. Please don't ask me to make five beds and water taps.
Sure... hopefully we won't need to rebuild any walls...
First thing's first... I'm sure you picked up a few pieces of junk on the way here. Useful or not, we can salvage the parts.
For what?
Melt'em down, repair other items. You pick up a few tricks after a while. It doesn't need to be pretty...
I just needs to work.
Exactly.
Ready when you are.
All right then. Let's put those pieces to good use.
Any ideas?
That's up to you... Can't exactly build a new sword from scratch, but you can reinforce the ones you have.
Meaning no crafting, only upgrades.
What about materials? Not all weapons are made the same.
You'll learn to recognize them; iron, steel... if you can't tell wood from stone... well...
I get it, you and I can be archery partners. What comes next?
Stones, the magical kind. Should I keep talking?
Sure.
First, let's see if you've been listening. Bring me five pieces of steel and we'll go from there.
Where do I get steel?
Use what you took from the groms, smash it to pieces and well... there you go.
Thanks, Sokaris.
