Smithing Cooperation

[RTG]

Hello everyone! Valerius Decimus of the Endless Hunt Vanguard here.

As you all know, the Sacred Grounds are a dangerous place, but I don’t think we expected it to be dangerous to this degree. Besides the Prey lurking in the wilderness, there are bandits, the Crop King, Charred Ones, and maybe some other stuff I missed, not to mention the divine expeditions into the Origin itself.

With these threats in mind, and watching the gatherers and alchemists taking similar approaches, I’d like to help organize the martial crafters in Brink to ensure we’re all equipped to deal with them thoroughly. If you’d like to participate, leave your name and specialty below and we’ll coordinate with our brand new forge!

I’m a swordsmith myself, the bigger the better, though I can do hammers and axes as well. Come find me if you want to hurt something!

(OOG: Let’s communicate weaponsmith/armorer specialties and skill levels, coordinate and take commissions, and generally get the town in fighting shape, particularly if your PC doesn’t have much of a support group. Also maybe work together on uncovering new technologies? DM me to add your name, or post, whatever you like)

Valerius Decimus - Weaponsmith - Journeyman - Metal, Two-Hander/Pole Specialties (Greatswordsmith)
Keriv - Armorer - Master (OOG: Pending this BGA session) - Fiber specialist / Armor Expert (Tanner)
Armorer Compeer - Armorer - Journeyman - Metal specialist / Craft Expert (Metalsmith)
Tiberius Quintus - Weaponsmith - Basic - Metal, One Handed Specialties (Swordsmith)
Nils - Weaponsmith - Journeyman - Wood, Two-Hander/Pole Specialties
Sai-Shiram - Armorer - Master - Fiber specialist / Crafter Expert
Chantarelle - Weaponsmith - Journeyman - Metal, Ranged Specialties

If I find metal or wood I don’t need, I’ll let people know. I check with the other Skar first, but we don’t use a lot of metal.

Armorer Compeer - Journeyman Armorer - Metalsmith - metal specialist

If we can get a canopy, I can bring actual smithing stuff and we could make an guildhall if people were into it.

I’m debating getting a canopy for next game for my/Beneficia’s outfitting company, which we could use in the interim.

Tiberius Quintus - Weaponsmith - Basic - Metal, One Handed Specialties

I’m also not likely planning to go beyond basic for the foreseeable future.

[RTG]

You, Compeer, are going to be very popular with skills like that. We might have to talk more.

[Zara]

Valerius, would you mind updating us on the forge progress? I heard that there was an effort to bring in a forge but not much detail more than that. While it’d be great if we could accomplish this on our own, I think we may have greater affect if we bring in the resourcefulness of others around Brink.

I can personally say that all the materials for the forge itself were collected, since I went on that scavenging mission with Braig and several others. We didn’t pick up any of the fuel required to keep the forge going on that mission, but I heard later that they found some on a different trip. The completed forge should be up and running very soon.

What is the function of the Forge?

…Building and maintaining weapons and armor in metal though consistent high heat to soften, hammer blows to shape, and water or oil to quench? We’d also have leatherworking and bone- or wood-carving stations for those materials, I think, though that’s little more than some tables and tools.

[VoodooSpecter]

You nightlanders make weapon building so complicated.
OOG: What is the function of the forge

[RTG]

(OOG: Just an in-game excuse for us to be able to use our professions, the presumption being that there was pretty much zero infrastructure before we got here and no ability to smith during the course of E1. As far as I know, the forge doesn’t actually change profession mechanics in any way.)

[Zara]

OOG: I think it would be a fair long-term goal to try to enhance the forge magically etc that would bear fruit for all in Brink who decided to use the guild’s forge.

[RTG]

OOG: I don’t think anyone in the world knows how to do that (at least publicly) but I can’t imagine we won’t take steps like that over the course of the story. Unless you meant trying right now in a BGA, in which case I guess you can supplicate the Five! Maybe get that Corrupted Fire cleansed and use it.

[Brit]

Oy, I make stuff too!

Metal stuff usually, though I really want to improve my wooden hammer soon too.

Currently playing around with making better bows.

I’m pretty decent at it. Its a hobby at best but I’m middling ish at it.

OOG Weaponsmith, Journeyman, ranged, metal.

[Brit]

Also, I aint messing about on no magic forge. Thats how you get cursed.

[Brit]

OOG: We made a facebook group too. For out of game coordination.
