@uran Yes it is! Actually no major problem.
What weapons do each of you want?
Well I will make upto 50 cold iron bullets, and a cold iron longsword (size small, please..lol) would also be nice
No Problem.
Any special wishes? Any etchings.
No Problem.
Any special wishes? Any etchings. 2 sharp sides? one? What kind of pommel?
@ Aurora he makes the weapon free of charge. And even a sorcerer might wand her personalizes dagger in the shape of a lightning... or a a light mace...
Vanya says she prefers a longsword.
After you have completed your shoppings you retire to the foundry inn to rest for the night. Val is of course not happy that you haven´t found Baine yet, but after a while she understands that to do it without caution is to invite disaster.
Next Morning you return to the temple of brigh for another dweomer and after a while you are again in the halls of the skulk.
[ooc]I trust you with the shoppings, do not forget your discount and we are ready to proceed.[/oo]
You can make them yourself. You even get the discount, as you have to buy raw material.
Aurora will ask for a masterwork quarterstaff, etched with circuitry and lightning bolt motifs and designs. She'll then transfer her strange little device to the new staff.
Now she's ready :)
@Aurora he will make you one, out of an alloy with the same stats as a regular quarterstaff, just made out of metal.
Offering a meal of stew with freshly baked bread with small sliced vegetables val shows you your rooms, freshly cleaned and with fresh linnen and listens with big ears to your tales.
The next morning all of you are ready to return to the caves.
If I hear nothing contrary, you are given another spell of waterbreathing and return to the caves.
Aurora is overjoyed with the staff and heaps praises upon the craftsman. She spends much of her time examining the staff and commenting on its fine design and build.
She appears fresher than ever and ready to face further perils inside the caves.
BTW the weapons are done in the next morning. If you ask how this can be possible, he points to a smelting machine and a hammering machine. He also admits using some minor magic.
Uran makes sure he loads all his barrels with cold iron ammunition. He also marvels at the speed of the weapons construction.
"These machines rival those we have back in Arkenstar! Fine work mastersmith..very fine work!"
Aelden checks the balance of his plain weapon. "Ye'll get a name when ye earn it..."
The agate is worth 55gp.
The mastersmith tells you this only works through one or two of Master Baines inventions. His ability is now very much depleted, as the power through the beacon he had stored is gone. He had couple a clockwork springs to power the machines but those are now without tension.
He admits it is so much easier to make Coldiron that adamantium, for one of those weapons he has to use all his springs if he has to work it fast.
"grumble...delays...grumble...need to get back an' find this guy..."
Nothing contrary you get to the caves without problems.
There there Aelden, I'm sure after we make our way through these fae creatures there will be more mechanical things to smite..!
she tips him a wink.
So the usual then? You can gallantly lead and I'll trail behind ready to blast anything that looks threatening!?
Aelden frowns at Aurora. "I look threatenin' don't I lass? Sure'n ye know I'll be out front."
His voice is gruff, but his eyes show just a hint of mischief.
Uran takes up position after the dwarf.
"Well at least I am small enough for those behind me to see over me...unlike the wall in front of me!", jokes the gnome as he raps on the human warriors armor.
"Everyone's a bloody comedian..." Aelden grumbles.
...taps his foot impatiently on the cavern floor...the sounds echoing through the halls...
Gregory looks to the others.
"Well then? Shall we clear out this menace?"
"Lets move on....those little beasties will not clear themselves out now will they!"
Uran moves forward, rifle at the ready
A voice in the darkness speaks out"Good, good. We go safe place"! You come to a intersection right or straight ahead?
"Right-hand rule, mates." Turn right, at the ready.
"Sounds good to me...right it is...what is the saying, 'you cannot go wrong if you go right'
Moving into the cave you notice immidiatly that the ceiling is quite low, giving nearly everybody a little discomfort. But not more.
As you enter you hear a slight graping sound, but apart from that it is silent.
"Well this is slightly more gnome-sized...what was that noise??"
Perception:
There is a flash of movement across Aurora's skin, as you swear one of the tattoos shifts and moves across her flesh.
I can't distinguish anything out of the ordinary, one moment
She gestures and four red-hued sparks pop in to existence from the end of her staff, spinning up through the air to illuminate the cavern roof, sweeping along it in a repeating pattern designed to cover the whole area as quickly as possible.
You can not see anything alive. Just quite a bit of metal debris everywhere. Where to?
Can't quite see from the map where we're going!
If this cave is a dead end then we'll go back to the intersection and go straight ahead, if there's a way through this cave then we'll keep going.
Allright you move on and turn to the left reaching the assembly hall again. Thanks to Aeldens little helper you find your way north inanother little hall. You see a little thing standing infront of a little stalagmite. It sees you, runs around to hide behind it.
Whispered quickly to the party
I have no idea what that was, anyone know if that was the fae?
She then speaks loudly enough to carry around to the other side of the stalagmite
Come out where we can see you!
She brandishes her staff, pointing it in the rough direction of the rocky pillar.
Vanya follows right behind the others, her sword drawn. Just in case.

Aelden steps forward. "Ye heard what the lady said. C'mon out!"
You check out behind the pillar, but.... the gremlin is gone. You hear some noise in the cave you just left and a voice.
I suppose that thing matches the description of the entities we are supposed to locate and remove for the skulks. It appears to have escaped in to that cave we just left, though I didn't catch what it said unfortunately.
Aurora's brow furrows.
I am wary of walking in to a trap, but we do need to eliminate the creature. Any suggestions aside from running after it?
Aelden looks aside at Aurora. "Bloody 'ell. There goes my idea..."
Well I don't like to disappoint you Aelden, perhaps if we run after it fast enough it won't be able to lay a trap!?
she gestures with her staff
After you Master Cormallen...
Aurora will follow Aelden, staff at the ready.
"I hate get'en bushwhacked...even when it is in a cave!", Uran mutters as he slowly moves forward behind Aelden.
Aelden sets off, shield and new sword at the ready.
<Grumble> "One o' these days, I'm changin' me job. Be nice to be a grocer, I think..."
"The creature said something with killing us all. Little nasty thing."
