karl quickly finished the blades for the monarchs in othello's team, and turned to forgemaster granite.
"i have an idea if you're up for it. weapons are fairly common, and everyone looks for one, so our new leaders will already have something. but what they might not have is some quality jewellery.
how are your skills as an artist?" he asked.
the forgemaster smirked and looked at his forge, which was currently glowing bright with hawk's ghostfire.
"oh, i think that i can come up with something. i didn't get the title of forgemaster for nothing, and dwarves are well known for their artistry."
granite nodded to himself and went to his forge, where he pulled out a sheet of alloy from a side storage cabinet while karl got to work on the weapons for the warriors in othello's team, plus a pair of axes for ophelia, which would get life steal stones in them, though they were only royal rank capable materials.
fizzspark laughed as remi turned her to watch granite's work. "oh, he's serious this time. he's using the rare materials. there are some very suitable materials for mana transfer, but they're so rare and expensive that we don't have much to work with and can't use it to make weapons."
"how much room do you need for runes?" granite asked as he heated the metal.
"that depends on the material. but my eyesight is good, and my hands are steady. if the material is up to it, i could make a proper enchanted item out of a hoop earring."
karl's joke made the dwarf laugh, but inwardly he was sighing in relief. he only had the one small sheet of this material, and if he was going to make two masterpiece quality items from it, he would have to conserve.
but if he could just make a pair of small bracelets, he would have enough for a dozen or more additional items.
"warrior." granite replied with a shrug.
"well, then that is easy. warriors are easy to please."
karl smiled and the forgemaster chuckled.
remi handed karl another green stone, deliberately choosing ones that only one person would want in their team, and not elements that were more versatile.
karl began to inscribe [trollish regeneration] on the stone, and remi suddenly realized that green stones were actually quite useful.
they needed to give one to the bear, and the lotus, and maybe even tessa.
karl put the same basic inscription for skill damage increase, but trollish regeneration was easier to link, so karl used some extra space to add a physical strength buff before boosting the power level.
the material appeared to be somewhat translucent, and when karl inscribed it, the whole bracelet glowed with red light in the background, highlighting the outline of the royal palace like early morning dawn.
"excellent work. now those are proper gifts. even if they never wear them, we don't have to be ashamed of our present." forgemaster granite insisted.
karl nodded in agreement. "what do you say we all go to the palace now? the guest area is nearly empty, so we can find spots for everyone before the other visitors start to show up.
there will be all sorts of chaos with a new king's coronation and with whatever advancement party that they're going to have for totem lord ahmad."
othello looked up at the ceiling. "well, it should be safe enough to go out there now. it's a shame we can't use the train, but everything collapsed, so we can't get to it, and we will have to walk across the city."
