WJ brings an armload of material and places them at Malice's feet. He begins sketching the weapon, adding a spike at the rifle butt 'just in case'. He presents the very detailed sketch
Is this what you're thinkin'? I can do something else if you prefer. Perhaps a double axe head?
Looks over the schematics.
Looks good! Double or single are fine, you're the smith, it's your call ....
Thinks
My favored enemy should be animate armor suits. I don't know what that falls under ....
Unfortunately favored enemy doesn't hold up. Armor piercing rounds and a few Brilliant Energy should help weaken it a bit, but you'll have to break it at the joints. The axe works best there.
Of course I make a variety of rounds. Never know what you'll run into, now do you?
I think the single blade. Perhaps a bit wider, with a strong tip, kinda like a glaive or oversized can-opener *chuckle* but not as flimsy. It will take me some time.
If any of your brothers have need of my services perhaps you can remind them that smithing is thirsty work? I also make armor though it looks like you lads bring your own.
'Prentis! Feed that elemental some wood! We have a commission.
Hay! another Jack!!! Welcome Warforged Jack
keeping busy huh? way to go!
*leaveas more beer on the fridge*

Good to see you FJ. How's the secret project going?
Reaches in the magic cooler and tries to pull out a Dark and Stormy
Aww! Come on! Is this thing broken? I grab for D&S and it gives me Strohs?? Seriously uncool..
After Malice leaves the dwarf's tent Jack Hammer decides it's time to check about his broken hammer. He goes to his room and gathers it up and takes it the dwarf smith. Noticing the dwarf's interest in the Jack Collection of Drinks he picks out a cask of Clan Banhammer Postmonster Ale.
He is taken aback about the tent's confines. This definitely looks like the guy to talk to.
Hail Good Smith! Might you be able to look at my hammer? I cracked it on tin can. Can it be repaired?
Greetings Painted Jack!
Ahhh, finally a hammer. The weapon of true gentlemen.
'Prentis, gather up that cask so that the gentleman and I can talk business?
The dwarf takes the hammer and moves closer to the forge. He hisses. Black adamantium? Very foul. Using tweezers he takes out a piece of the black metal. He holds it like a snake, then drops it into the fire of the forge. He then begins a close examination of the ancient runes on the weapon, being careful not to disturb the clay filling them.
I must correct you sir. You did not crack this hammer. It exploded from within.
Also, these runes are not something I'm familiar with. They once held power, but none remains. What is the purpose of the clay?

Why do you call me Painted Jack? Looking down JH realizes it's because of the tats Err...never mind.
JH proceeds to give the dwarf the Cliff Notes version of the recent events surrounding his hammer.
*takes a swing with his vorpal sword and tries to decapitate the message board monster* I missed again!
Me am pacifist!

The dwarf mulls this over while pouring another couple of tankards of Morian Stout
Perhaps these runes bound something, or someone, with the hammer? When it caused the death of that foul beast of black metal that something was released?
Anyways the magic within it is lost now.
I can build you a replacement though. Similar in size. One worthy of a Protector of the Mist...err...young Miss?
JH looks sad, happy, and worried all at the same time
Yes. A new hammer would be fine. Something in tune with the Earth. Something strong enough to protect...us all.

Fret not, yound sirrah. I will use the deep ore. I will sing it from the Earth myself. It will be pure. Though I cannot match the magic your hammer once held, it shall be a weapon that strikes fear into your enemies.
For now, go and drink.
I have an idea! Let's get that monster into the Jackapult!
*charges Messageboard Monster*

Malice Jack wanders in from outside

Runs and tried to grab MM. Grabs its tail but it separates from its body
DRAT! Catch him JRHM!
Hey what about me, you lazy frat boy?
Oops sorry, I thought you were one of those pink flesh snaks that sometimes escape from the fridge... luckly I wasn't hungry :D
Welcome NASCAR Jack!

*Casts random invisibility spells on Jacks*
Ribbit!
MMMMMM .... Slowed golems ...
Homer drool
WF walks out of his tent to see what all the ruckus is about. He shakes his head and walks back in slowly.
*Three ravenous poodles are eating out of the Jacks' garbage can* *One of the poodles, Cockapoo, sees the Messageboard Monster going through the Jack's yard. The poodle of course can't control himself and decides to chase the Monster* YAP! YAP! YAP! YAP!
DLP spots the monster and follows it as well.
YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP!!!!!!!!
MMMMM ... poooodles!
Homer drool
*bites the Monster and hangs on but isn't slowing the creature as it's moving through the yard* GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Snaps at DLP as he runs by
YIPE!
Runs out the door, tail between legs. A long streak of yellow marks his passage.

Comes out in a tiny white halter dress. The fabric is just a little too thin and clingy.
I feel like going clubbing. Who wants to go to Club Calistria with me?
Malice Jack skids to a halt
I'm game ..Let's go!
Malice Jack skids to a halt

Great! Let's go. Anyone else who feels like dancing should tag along. I'll be back later tonight. Well, unless JH meets me there. For some reason we never seem to make it home before dawn, she says with a grin and a wink.

*walks in walking pompously with a diaper on the mouth and goes stright into the livingrooms main sofa, lays down on it and starts chewing on the baby's bomb and shaking it vigorously, splashing the whole place with what appears to be baby Jack's byproduct*
Nomnomnom...
Ah, a poodle. Perfect for reviving my mistress. waves a hand at Llamafrog Come here puppy, I have a suprise for you.
Plantjack glares at the intruder.
You will leave the poodle alone, and you will state your business here. Then you will depart, and learn not to invade the club and molest the poodles. That is Malice Jack's job.
