Admire Thodam's naked lady and then ask if you will make more profit doing trade goods

[Weirdsound]

Trade goods.

[Jacos]

"Trade goods." Urist said aloud. His master smiled. "I thought you'd prefer trade goods. Right then. I'd like you to spend some time working on a very detailed figurine. I haven't assessed your skills for a while, so I'll be judging how good you are from it. I'll leave you be for an hour, and by then I want you to bring it to me in my workshop. Good luck."

He walked out, and left Urist, leaving him to wonder what he would create.

[Weirdsound]

Carve a dwarven exectioner bringing his axe down on the local goblin warlord!

[Jacos]

Urist has a brilliant idea, to create an image of the infamous goblin leader Srnaksarl being executed by a glorious dwarven hammerman. You get to work, carving out in fine detail. Soon, the carving is beginning to look very good, when suddenly you decide that it could be WAY better if it menaced with spikes! You look around the workshop, and notice a number of things;

On a table, there are several lumps of fine oak. Also, wrapped in cloth are several bones of a small animal. Finally, there is a large boulder on the floor - perhaps your friend could fashion some spikes out of that, as you yourself are not trained to make things out of stone.

[Weirdsound]

Spikes of Bone and Oak!

[Jacos]

Urist gets to work, making the base of the craft menace with spikes of glorious oak and bone. While not skilled at working bone, Jacos finds that it is not that hard to carve, and gains some experience at it.

You look at your figurine, in all its glory. The evil goblin is being struck down by a royal executor with a large hammer. Two nearby dwarves are cheering. It menaces with spikes of bone and oak.

Is there anything else Urist should do before he approaches his master with his craft? Urist estimates he has around twenty minutes left.

[Quarynn]

Cover it with a tin layer of varnish so it will look even better

[Jacos]

Urist looked in the workbenches drawer where his master stored some varnish, and sure enough, there were pots of varnish. He coated the work in a thin layer of varnish, taking his time to make sure he would not apply too much. After around five minutes, he was done, and had another fifteen minutes.

What should Urist do now?

[Quarynn]

You and your friends search the drawers in case of something interesting shall be found

[Dsarker]

Develop magical powers of woodcrafting.

[Jacos]

Urist searches through various drawers, but finds nothing other than the ordinary. He sees nothing else to improve his lovely craft with. Is it time to show it to his master?

[Dsarker]

Yes.

[Jacos]

Urist walked into his masters main workshop. "Err, master.. I have finished it." He smiled, and reached out. Urist handed the craft to him, and his master began examining it.

You feel like you should say something about it.

[Virex]

Remember? This is what the militia commander did after the goblins eviscerated your wife and children. Or, would have done were he not on break that day.
