Where: Weapon Smithy Shop - Duchy of Athereyne
Room Desc: A pair of double doors, made of sturdy oak, to the right when facing the building, are mostly open during the day, admitting light into the interior. The whole room is surprisingly neat and tidy, with everything carefully stowed away to prevent anyone who enters from tripping. There is a chain from the ceiling with scales made of brass towards the left. Hanging from various hooks at the walls are several hammers and tongs, but also a few bellows of various sizes, and two or three small casks containing oil are stowed away in the left corner to the front. At the back is a niche, divided from the rest of the room by a steel barred door with a high quality lock. Stored within are several chests, each of them reinforced with iron bands. In the right corner of the room is a stair well that leads up to the floor above, probably to some private living area.


The day is young and warm, as the smithy is open, Ottis has on a large Cork board several pyrus drawings of designs, many of them new from his recent trip over to the Isles. A few appear unfinished as you can see where some of the Etchings have been rubbed out and redrawn. Currently Ottis is in the back doing inventory and making sure the rooms nice and tidy.. "Okay, need to purchase more coal, and peat, as well as ....." there is a pause as he rubs his scruffy chin.. clearly lost in thought as he tries to recall what all he needs to purchase. The doors to the back are open so it's easy to see Ottis

The doors to Ottis' shop do not stay closed for long, as the telling sound of the creaking oak announces a person's arrival. Seeming to be wearing a cloak with the hood up, this guest soon shuts the door behind her arrival with the loud thud it brings and then rests her back against the door a moment. Stepping into the shop then, she lifts a hand to push back her hood and reveal her presence. A smile to Ottis as he stands there in his counting and recollection. "Careful, old man, I can smell the coals burning in that head of yours..." A smirk and a nod of her head as she stops about midway through the shop, taking a look around. "Course, could be the molten metal I'm smelling. Either way..."

Ottis's pausing is over as he lets out a grumble. "Damn.. " as he look over at you and says. "ya made me lose me train of thought.. " he pretends to look past ya.. " see there she goes.. " as he heads out of the back right at you, almost as if he were to bowl you over, but just at the last second does his massive arms reach out and scoop you up to plant a large kiss right on your cheek. " How ya doing lass. " as he chuckles and gingerly set you back on your feet.

Rayne smirks and shrugs. "You sure you had a thought to begin with?" Her eyes sparkling with mirth before she finds you heading towards her and she almost braces for impact. Instead, finding herself lifted off her feet, she squeals lightly and gives a laugh before returning a kiss to your cheek. When her feet touch the ground once more, she steadies herself and then nods. "Doing well, my friend, doing quite well. Except for the rumors...which have seemed to cause quite a stir on my presence here now..." She would say that much before reaching into her satchel, seeming to be trying to find something.

Ottis Adroitly waves his hands as if not caring. " bah.. people are easily startled like children. Never could learn to distinquish truth from fantasy.. " as he heads over to the forge and begins pumping the bellows as the fires get hotter and hotter, making Ottis's skin glow a bit. "so what can I do fer ya lass.?" as he glances your way as you dig thru your satchel.

Rayne chuckles gently. "Well. You passing by the other day got me to thinking about your wife. I don't know if she's come up with anything to help ease any symptoms she's having, but I took the liberty of coming up with something myself." Rayne would explain before pulling out a vial of a light brown mixture and sets it on the counter near Ottis. "Also, since I was in town, I wondered if I couldn't procure that sword you made for Baldwin? Unless you wanted to give it to him specifically..."

Ottis smile, first at the bottle and then the question. " I thank you and Im sure Maerwynn will too, as for the sword, If you wish to present it to him that is fine. Though have him stop by with is when he's done I want to have a look at him with it to make sure its a good fit and that the grip and bindings work for him.. as I can do adjustments to them if needed. " Ottis walks into the back and carefully comes out with a wooden box a little over Five and a half feet long. The box is a beautful cherry/oak blend and polished to a lovely sheen. "I do hope he like it, as its perhaps one of my finest works.."

<FS3> Ottis rolls Weapon Smithing: Great Success. <FS3> Ottis rolls Weapon Smithing: Good Success. <FS3> Ottis rolls Weapon Smithing: Amazing Success.

Rayne smiles and nods. "Well whatever you wish to do. I'm sure I can convince Baldwin to come to town at some point." Though, there were the rumors, and the chance of Baldwin running into many a familiar face. "Though if I take it to him, it might give him reason to come to town, because he would need to come see you!" A laugh then as she shakes her head. "Also, that is a beautiful box..." A nod then as she doesn't bother to open the box, but she does sort of lift it to test its weight.

The box with the blade in it weights from what you'd guess is a good six and a half pounds, but your not sure how the weight is mixed is it more blade than box, or more box than blade, or are they both splitting the weight evenly. Though its hard to tell the blades balance as the box itself isn't exactly balanced but you do at least know the total weight of the box and blade. "Well if he wants to show up after recieveing the blade thats fine. Tis not as if Im going anywhere." he smiles (though once pulled out the blades balance is ... <PERFECT>..

Rayne smiles, taking up the box. "I'll let him know. Thanks a lot. If you need anything, you know where I live." That smile still offered before she uses one hand to pull her hood back up. "I shall see you soon, Master Ottis. Take care."

Ottis chuckles and nods. "aye.. I do now know where you live and I'll let Maerwynn know of the draught you brought her. I do hope that Baldwin enjoys his new blade.. " as he walks you to the door. "have a safe trip Lady Rayne.. " as he smiles warmly.
