    Following the Character from "Firstquest" (on sup/tg/ if you wanna read em.)
    Part one's diplomacy all here:
    http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/6316513/

    You've got plenty of ideas all ready swimming in your head for the weapon you're intending to create, and it is making your ride to the mountains seem to fly by.

    You have two and a half days to make it to the Fortress in the hills, and you figure as long as nothing happens it is plenty of time. There is a town to rest in along the rough un-finished road you are heading down. Your plans could let you stay there for the night, but you don't have to.

    It is rather cold and a night in an inn would be a night out in the snow however.

    Gear:
    Backpack with plenty of food/supplies camp equip. 50 gold pieces.
    Blacksmith hammer: Useful for your trade, and combat.
    Crossbow.

    You go ahead and pull into the town, hop off your horse and stable him. You have not been this far North east of your home and this is the first time you've been here. It seems to be a normal Pioneer outpost, as you come across a few different races as you walk to the inn.

    It only takes a few minutes to get a table and a drink. Once you've taken off your cloak and have a room for the night you look around the inn and then begin to browse through your book on Dwarf language and culture.

    A few minutes later a rather busy red head walks up and sits across from you. She's dressed like a bar maid, but does not seem to be working. She's staring at your gauntlet arm as if very curious before she speaks.

    "You the guy that took care of that tower up north? Lot of talk about him... or you.. if its the case."

    "Yeah I'm him. I'm also reading. Why do you want to know?"

    She seems to laugh, she seems shocked by the fact that you're not automaticly nice to her from the start, as she might be used to given her looks.

    "Well. We've heard about you heading to take part in the dwarf's old "Weapon Off". I was hoping we'd get you stopping in. Lots of adventurers died up at that tower. One of them was my brother. He'd been gone for years and ...thanks to you his body is finally at rest back here."

    She smirks and shakes her head looking a little sad.

    "Meant a lot to my mother. I just wanted to say thanks. Figured you were some old man. All the talk about you didn't say anything about you being this handsome."

    Its rather obvious where she is heading.

    The conversation goes on for a couple of hours, and you find to your shock she's not just good looks, but fun to talk to as well. Its not long before things end up more then a little adult oriented. For the first time in about 7 months since the whole incident you honestly enjoy yourself.

    Mildly drunk and with a woman better looking then any you've had before who sees you like a hero, not some blacksmith. Perhaps the perks are not so bad with the adventuring gigs.

    After an amazing night you wake up in a tangle of smooth, pale freckled limbs. The sun has crept up through the window to warm on your face. The girl is sleeping soundly even as you sit up.

    If you want to be on time you'll need to leave before noon, so you have plenty of time to ride before settling in a camp for the night. The town does have a few shops as well.

    Next move?

    You leave her a note saying that you need to head up to the city, and that you would stop back in to see her after you win. Its funny what all this has done for your confidence. Jokingly at the bottom it is signed Charles "Deathwish" Bronson.

    You wonder if you might of gotten her with child. The thought makes you feel nervous so you push it out of your mind before dressing and heading downstairs.

    There does seem to be a couple of decent shops in this town, a really well decorated Alchemy shop and a Weapon's store.

    Speaking with the Weapon's clerk leads to some interesting info on the competition the dwarfs did not bother to tell you.

    If you lose and the King does not pick your weapon, you will have to pay for the materials you used. Not even the king can pardon that, because nobles under him are the ones providing the ore and steel, and the competition is a huge money maker for them to absolutely screw the losers for gold.

    You pick up a few healing potions in the Alchemy shop as well, since you didn't have any on you. The best part...

    No one charges you for the stay in the inn, the potions or the info. It seems all of them view you as a guest for the moment. You could really get used to this.

    You head back out on the road on time, and.. ( Rolling for fun if anything happens on the way)

    You decide to tough it our, and just as the sun is rising you find yourself in front of a large metal gate. It is painted black and gold painted spikes line it.

    The fortress is built directly into the mountain, and from the pillars of smoke rising from chimneys poking out of the stone, the place is filled with burning fires and likely a massive number of dwarfs.

    You sit there on your mount, shivering as you look around, your cloak flapping behind you, your horse stamps around as if he's tired of being in this freezing weather. Riding all day and all night, you feel like someone whos taken a beating.

    Suddenly the doors begin to creak open, and the sound of gears grinding is almost deafening. You still don't know how they knew you were here.

    Inside you can feel warmth and a few Armored guards are walking out to meet you, one speaks to you directly.

    "Ya must be tha human who's 'ere ta remind us how good our craftmanship is by comparison."

    He laughs. Its hard to tell if he's joking.

    He tells you that he's here to show you around and make sure no one thinks you need a knife in you till you are settled in.

    You ask about the inn and he laughs, informing you that you'll have your own private quarters, apparently all the blacksmiths are being treated as royal guests.

    He shows you around the town as he walks you through the streets, the inside of this mountain is massive. Far below are the forges, you have to take an "Elevator" whatever that is. Down to them. He says this current level is mostly full of taverns shops and "riff raff".

    Its a long, long flight of steps that curls around and around higher and higher. You are beyond tired by the time you reach the floor he wants.

    "And this where you'll be staying."

    Its as if they built a castle out of the mountain top. Stairways curl and rise around the place twisting around homes and snow covered shops and streets until finally leading to a massive castle carved of stone, statures of axes, dragons and monsters decorate the place. You're actually a little dumbfounded by the site.

    After another long walk you're in a fancy loft that will be serving as your home for the next few months. It's three rooms, a bedroom, a workshop and living room. Its strange how warm it is once you are inside as it is freezing cold outside. The dwarf does not seem to notice. He shakes your hand and heads off leaving you to your own devices.

    Ya, I made that last night when people were throwing out weapon ideas. If the collective changes their minds on the weapon being forged, I will update it accordingly. Paying for this thing if we loose could prove very costly.

    Damn, ignore that last bit. I am a slow typist. Sleep might be a good idea given the amount of traveling we just did. Then, HAMMER TIME. Or, research materials and costs while we figure out what we are building. Also, might be wise to learn more about some of the other smiths at the competition.

    You can sleep in your quarters and you do so. Its a long restful sleep under piles of animal furs. You kind of like how dwarfs live.

    You are woken for dinner by the dwarf who escorted you up, and are lead downstairs and into the main castle. Your cloak really does not keep out the cold this high up, and you're starting to think a coat would be great.

    You're soon in a feast hall filled with important looking folks. You feel plenty under-dressed. Its rough being deemed so important when you're really not very rich. You get a few nasty looks from a few of them, and from the conversation you can pick up, they are talking about competing.

    You are asked to sit, and find youself next to the king's daughter. The table is large enough for you to sit at, but all the shorter race's chairs are easily tall enough to make up for it. Seems they are used to having guests of every race here.

    "Glad ta see ya showed laddie! My father is hopin ya kin really stir things up. Even if ya don' win ya will make all the others work 'arder so they don't git beat by a human!"

    She seems delightfully oblivious to the bad outcome of you losing and having to pay for your materials, and giving back the sword that has become part of that shrine. This is starting to look like odds are more then a little stacked against you.

    Any conversation you'd like to make. Questions. Etc?

    After everything settles in, and you get used to the conversation, it seems you're the butt of a few jokes, but still respected. Its as if the dwarfs consider your bravery enough to make you "one of them", but not enough to mean they need to respect your ability as a blacksmith or a fighter.

    You are polite when you ask about how the competition works.

    After the king tells you plenty, you've found out these things.

    Once tonight is over the competition has begun. Apparently they -hate- the idea of cheating, so much so that sabotage, or stealing ideas etc is punished by exile or jail time.

    You can use whatever materials you want, and it can be any kind of weapon, you cannot re-forge another blade to give him, or go treasure hunting for a weapon, you have to make for the king alone.

    In three months the King will judge each weapon and decide on the one he wants. The way he will judge the weapon is using it on a target covered in black dragon scale.

    Most weapons would be broken apart. He expects them to cut through it or smash it.

    You get to tell of the weapons lore and items it is forged by and with and that can be done by yourself, or a bard if you wish before the King is given the weapon for testing.

    The night concludes, and the King's daughter asks if you've been shown around the forge, or if you have any ideas as to what you'll be making.

    I think a plain rounded or flat end on that axe would be a better idea. If the guy needs to poke something he can already do it with the hunk on the top, and if he needs to smash something he'd end up having to do it with the flat of the blade, which would be kind of a pain in the ass.

    You decide to take her up on her offer, and she leads down a maze of halls to another massive set of doors, they lead to a strange looking room, it looks like a cage with bars and grates. Its very sturdy, but you can see through the black steel, straight down a long shaft all the way down.

    You are not afraid of heights, but looking down the shaft gives you virtigo. She pushes you inside and laughs a little as she yells out some orders to someone unseen and suddenly the room is moving down the shaft, once more with loud creaking motions of grinding gears.

    The forge is massive and amazing. She takes you to your station and begins to explain things. You can order any ore you like, in almost any amount. Losing it however means you'll need to pay for every bit. Gems and magic etc. Rare parts will have to be aquired yourself.

    You had her the sketch you made before you even left your town. Needless to say she looks impressed.

    "My father would love this axe, but ... I mean you'd have to slay a black dragon to get the parts for it. Or.. well at least find someone who is selling parts. ... but aye... 'ed love it."

    Well then let's find us a rune of fire, and look for some kind of rune that would allow someone to relive the experiences of epic feats.

    Of course, that could be a downside if this king is a braggart and a liar. Making false boasts that, if the truth is recorded, would prove him a liar.

    The rarest of the steel down here is something you've only heard of, never seen. It's known as "Black Steel". From how she describes working with it, you could handle it. Gold and such is also available, but apparently the Obsidian stone turned to Black Steel is both the strongest, best looking and likely what everyone will be using if they want to chop open a dragon scale.

    She also tells you the reason her father is looking for a new weapon is to hunt down the dragon who ate his late blade and escaped. He was hunting that dragon because it also ate his son.. her brother. She says if you -do- manage to find someone to kill a black dragon, they better make sure it is not that one, if someone steals her father's kill he'd be furious... but the dragon does have a young brood out and about.

    She explains some of the runes to you. Apparently the rune you understand now, and have on your hammer is one of protection, and its effect builds over time. The more evil spells it defends against and more connection with the user the stronger it becomes for that person.

    Other runes take a ritual to become active and actually work, just carving it into the blade is not enough.

    We need to find someone to chant some shit up.

    Black Steel sounds good, but come on, if everyone uses it, what's to make it special?

    Can we make some alloys? Mix Black Steel with Gold to make an alloy for the handle or something?

    ( cont.)

    When you ask about the fire rune, she explains how it works. You carve the rune into a weapon you wish, and then kill something. You don't have to use the weapon, but you must kill something then burn the body, and hold the weapon you want blessed over its smoke.

    Apparently the stronger you want the rune, the stronger the burning body must be. the rune is related to the Dwarf god of Blood, Fire, and Combat.

    She pulls a one handed axe from her hip and shows it to you, and then shows you the rune. She swings the axe around expertly and then yells, finally the blade for a short moment bursts into flame.

    "It works best in a real fight, but tha bigger and badder tha thing ya burn ta bless the rune... the more often and more wicked tha fire turns out ta be."

    You've heard of steel stronger then Black, but they are things of legend. Such as steel forged from the metal scales of silver and gold dragons turned into an alloy together.

    It takes a legion of soldiers to kill such beasts, and they are more then a little rare. Finding one then killing it is like wishing for a mountain of gold.

    Finding one and asking for scales is like wishing for a hill of gold.

    You cannot re-bless a weapon as far as she knows. Once it has a rune dedicated to a god into it, that is all there is to it. She does know of rumors of runes to dark gods that can have their ritual done over and over, but such weapons are evil and illegal.

    Once a weapon has its blessing, its pretty much set in stone. She does say, however, as long as a couple of gods have similar effects and runes, they can be combined.

    She puffs out her chest and proudly declares she's held a bastard sword that had both a fire and lightning blessing. She has no idea how to bless a lightning rune however.

    The Lich tower was nearly bare of all its important trinkets. It seems that the place was constructed with the sole goal of working as a ritual to murder loads of people and increase the Lich's power. The gems in the walls all shattered and the massive one was destroyed by you leaving them little more then powerless green shards of glass.

    All ready ideas are rolling over in your head. Dragons are not really "good or bad" Creatures. ...well aside from black ones. Black Dragons hate everything, and only the eldest and most powerful of them are sentient, the rest are little more then large winged lizards that spit poison or acid.

    If you were lucky enough to find a gold dragon. Then find a silver one. AND manage to get a couple scales from each. And not die. You wouldn't just be a local hero you'd be written into books.

    But there is no way you could kill one or defend yourself if you managed to tick it off. If it wants you dead you are dead.

    Turtle apparently is great for shields or armor making them multiple times stronger then what they are, they become cursed if placed on weapons. To bless the rune you have to take a blow to defend someone else, and drip blood from that wound onto the rune.

    You ask for a heavy clothing, and he nods, saying it will be delivered to your loft. When you mention going down to find a book on runes, he raises an eyebrow and informs you that if you manage to get the scales he will make sure you have the royal library open to you.

    He's offering dwarf tech, history, magic, and rune crafting in return for success. You'd be one of the only human blacksmith's to understand such things.

    Wait, instead of clothes, could we carve another rune into our body?

    Probably not THAT fire rune, since it's for war and shit too, and would fuck with our peace/protection rune, likely fucking us up.

    But just a rune for warmth. If we showed up at those dragons, in their wintery mountain homes, in our BARE SKIN, it would impress the fuck out of them.

    He says he can't open the vaults for you, but he explains what he knows about the two dragons.

    The Dragons don't mind the dwarfs, and have actually helped them a few times when fighting their wicked black spawn.

    Problem is that They don't want the mother of the black flight in the are killed, because she is sentient and only wishes to be left alone with her mindless and violent brood.

    Dragons seem like nice enough dudes.

    Explain to the dragon who you are, your deathwish, and what you have done for your town. Do not let it believe you're doing this for the competition (though if it asks, do no deny it).
    We can give it a ruin of protection instead, it's not like the king didn't like the sword that had it.

    Gentlemen, I propose we make one last preparation before we depart on our great quest. Let us forge a vast chain of black steel, one end attached to our arm-stump, the other attached to the skeleton hand, also if there exists a rune of propulsion/magnetism/something that can launch our arm and retract it.

    If they outright asks if we're making a weapon for the competition, we will not lie. Though I don't know how the dragons would know about it.

    And if they demand to know why we want the scales, and don't know or ask about the competition, we'll tell them that in doing what we did to kill the lich, a sword belonging to the king was instrumental in saving our life, and was thus destroyed. We owe the king, and are crafting him a replacement. A half truth.

    You bow and leave his chamber, the tower made you fearless and headstrong, for better or worse. Waiting outside the door to the throne room is the King's Daughter.

    You kiss her and she kisses you back. Its a little akward because she's short. You are impressed with the force she returns the kiss.

    You think about asking for a mount that could navigate these mountains and it sounds like a good idea. You find it problematic however in the end, the nobles seem to use a range of different flying creatures that would take years to learn how to control, and are worth so much gold, you'd likely never get anyone to loan you.

    As you near the tiny path it says to take, you begin to debate what cave you should venture to first. You wish for a moment there was an easier way, but even a sled would likely be smashed to bits as rocks line the path.

    You decide on the first one, since it also seems to have the easiest traveling to it, and if you are wounded you could back track quicker after gauging how these dragons act.

    You walk for hours, and according to the map, it will be the middle of the night before you make it to the cave, tiredness is setting in.

    You sleep roughly. It was a terrible nap, the wind howled and the snow fell in large amounts, but as far as creatures and encounters you are undisturbed, it was just a bad night, bad weather and today will be rough travel. After eating you head out and after a tiring trudge you find the mouth of a massive cave.

    A frozen stream seems to roll out from the cave and just being in the area makes your arm... your detachable arm -hurt-. It hurt like when you were stuck in the aura around the tower.

    Well maybe there's some sort of nasty spell simply shielding the cave. Is your skin peeling off? Melting? Perhaps your brain is on fire?

    An illusion?

    we should let go of our arm, and follow it to the source.
    also because we are PIERCE BROSNAN.

    You seem fine aside from your phantom limb hurting. You push it out of your mind.

    Walking further into the cave makes it hurt worse, you have to light up your lantern to continue after a while.

    It feels like you walk ages in this dark twisted cave until suddenly you see a pair of eyes as large as a man's torso glowing yellow up ahead. They watch you as you move, and staring into them makes your arm actually vibrate. The steel plates humming makes you nervous.

    It's mouth opens and closes as if it's thinking of what to say to you. When it opens it's mouth you can see shining white teeth in the dark and an unnerving orange glow fills the cavern for only a moment, as if it's insides are made of heat and fire.

    ( As much as I hate to I have to call it a night here. I'll be picking up at 9 tomorrow as usual. Sorry guys, I wish I could continue! Falling asleep at mah desk.)
