Jorfa drinks a few mugs of beer and throws in a few of those appetizers. Once she is full she leaves the party without further comment.

"I won't leave before drinking that free beer. Just off this stage." Jorfa replies going straight for the bar.
Jorfa comes in her working clothes and takes a seat at the third row. It takes the persuasion skill of Councilman Muricar and Councilman Hearthmount to get her to sit on the stage too. There she sits with her arms crossed. But despite her gruff demeanour it is not too hard to see that it is unpleasant for her to be the center of attention.
Meanwhile Jorfa starts with the ear shattering hammering again.
"I'm fine with my stuff, thank you." Jorfa replies while working the bellows again.
Jorfa just smiles to herself and remains silent. She hammers the steel until it's color changes from yellow to orange and black again. Then she puts it back into the fire. Giving Jominda the You're still here? look.
Jorfa takes a pair of tongs and retrieves the glowing steel. She holds it on the anvil and takes a hammer. "I keep my stuff and you keep that magical stuff." And as if to make clear that she is not interested in discussing this she starts hammering on the iron forcing it into shape.
"He had no coin." Jorfa replies, while working the bellows.
"I would prefer not to." Jorfa cuts Jominda short.
"Hopefully." Jorfa replies placing a piece of steel into the fire.
"I wasn't at the funeral." Jorfa replies. Jorfa throws three more shovels of coal into the fire and puts the shovel away. Looking at Herm she adds "But you're one of those we got out of the Harrowstone." "But I have no work for you and I don't give credit. Come back when you have the coin to pay."
Meanwhile Jorfa shovels coal into the fire to start with her day's work.
Jorfa would like some alone time too. "Thank you for your hospitality. But I'll retreat to my home now. Good bye - and get well soon." she tells especially the friends of Prof Lorrimor.
Jorfa looks at Vauran "Are we supposed to leave that here, or take with us?" she asks pointing at the badge. As the group outside starts to leave she grabs the thing and takes it with her as she follows to leave the Harrowstone for good.
"I can live with unpleasant. But to come back to Jominda's suggestion - can you patch us up?" Jorfa replies.
"I'm an excellent smith, but I lack the talent to add magic enhancements to them. So no." Jorfa replies.
Jorfa looks at Father Grimburrow. "Keep your vestments on. I'll cover that." She gets a rope out of her backpack and ties it to the portcullis. Then she rips the crate from the oubliette and lowers herself into the water.
Jorfa tries again to get rid of the spider.
Jorfa tends in turn to the spider that menaces Father Grimburrow.
Jorfa takes another swing at the tentacle monster.
Jorfa readies herself to attack any appearing creatures.
Jorfa keeps supplying dead rats. Freeing Kendra of her attached pet.
Jorfa is frustrated. Swinging her axe at this thing is no use.
"Another ghost." Jorfa sighs. "Kendra, can you help me out with some magic?"
Jorfa walks over to the middle of the room and checks. "It is just a hole full of water. I can't see anything. Something shimmers in the light but it's too deep.
Jorfa checks if the door is locked. It is not. As nothing happens she opens it fully. She moves into the room to check there, her axe at the ready.
"I'm not sure it was alive to start with. But I'm not going to feel it's pulse after what it has done to my axe." Jorfa replies.
Seeing the slime corroding her good axe she shakes it to get the stuff off.
"What is that?" Jorfa asks, not sure if she should hit it with her axe or not.
Jorfa also stops and spreads her arms to prevent anyone from passing.
"If course." Jorfa replies and leads to the basement and through the corridors and rooms to the secret door. She unlocks and opens it again. With her axe ready she walks in.
"If that is nonsense then I suggest you prepare for taking responsibility. For killing Old River, for smearing the Memorial in blood and for trying to kill me with your oversized Razor. In front of three witnesses." Jorfa suggests. From the look of it she would have no problem to perform his execution for attempted murder herself.
Jorfa noticed the Father and Kendra passing and followed to the Sheriff's office.
Jorfa comes to the door greeting whoever stands before it with a half asleep "Today it stays closed!" squinting into the sun.
"Sorry Ma'm, but it is in the middle of the night. If you don't mind, I'm going to bed, now that the job is done." Jorfa replies "See you tomorrow." With that Jorfa leaves the Sheriff's office and heads to her house and her bed. On the way she grabs Old River, that the kids don't find it the next day.
Jorfa pushes past the deputy and drops Gibs in a cell. "Lock him up. And stay away. There is something wrong with him."
Jorfa puts him down and punches him into the face until he stops with the struggling. Then she picks him up again and continues on her path.
Jorfa thinks about dragging him at his feet, but instead shoulders him as long as he is still unable to move. "Onwards then."
Jorfa uses the rope to tie up Gibs' arms thoroughly and also connects his feet to ensure he doesn't run. "Let's bring him to the Sheriff then, before the spell wears off."
Jorfa is not fond of finding out how long this spell holds. But as Gibs isn't moving she uses the flat side of the axe to knock him out.
Also he deserves it.
"If you want it the hard way, this is going to hurt a lot." Jorfa tells wiping the blood off her face. Taking her axe with two hands she cleaves into Gibs.
Jorfa sighs and gets up - her bones stiff from the long sitting. Drawing her axe she moves out of the shrubs to face Gibbs "Well old man - what do you think you're doing here."
