[QUOTE="Harvey, post: 2399443, member: 28968"] [b]Hammer, Gondsforged Cleric[/b] After walking the streets for a while, Hammer returns to his "home", a little smithy shop named "The Blackened Anvil". He knocks twice on the closed door, as is his tradition, and after a second or two, the door is opened by a dark-skinned dwarf. [COLOR=Sienna]"Come in, come in! Enjoy your day?"[/COLOR] Hammer follows the dwarf into the shop, and into a back room, making sure to stoop down to walk through the dwarf-sized arch. Hammer ponders the question Alakar Gruffstone, his host and employer, asked him. [COLOR=DarkOrange]"It was... an unusual day."[/COLOR] The dwarf stops suddenly, and turns to look at the mechanical man. [COLOR=Sienna]"Ah? How so?"[/COLOR] Hammer holds out the notice he received. Alakar takes it, and after reading it, looks back up to the hulking gondsforged. [COLOR=Sienna]"You received this? Why, I knew you worked for the town guard a few times... but this... this is the symbol of the High Court of Silverymoon" [/COLOR] he says, pointing to the wax imprint.
