[QUOTE="Dichotomy, post: 5116831, member: 12941"] The trio enters and finds the Cold Forge to be a fairly busy smithy. The front area of the shop is a large open area with wares on display, ranging from swords and axes to plate armors. Some appear solid and sturdy, while others look more like ornamentation than functional weaponry. A few shoppers browse the wares, while one stands up at the front counter pouring over a catalog. Behind the counter, the human proprietor with a dour expression surveys everyone. A curtained-off doorway leads to the back, from which sounds of the forge can be heard. The trio begins to ascertain the situation. Erdolliel begins looking around, but notices nothing out of sorts. Talking with the proprietor informs you that he is the owner and named Crusty Patten. Patten is extremely foul-mouthed. With some convincing by Nethezar, along with a few coins, Patten is persuaded that, as potential clients, you should be allowed to see the forge itself. He gives you a brief tour of the back, quickly introducing you to two smiths. The smithy has a drain for its runoff, though the drain is covered by a grate. Even if the grate were gone, it would be difficult to squeeze through, especially for Kushnak. It would not, however, be impossible. Other than the drain, there seems little of note in terms of the architecture of the place. And no one you've seen inside particularly screams "I'm an illithid." [/QUOTE]
