miceclus: "Don't worry, you can talk Forrel. We're in the capital. We can either go straight to the main guild hall, or we can pay a visit to some shops and shrines before continuing our way. Do you have anywhere in particular you want to go?"
Brier
Brier looked over the materials his helpers brought back. Most of the tools have degraded in quality with time, but still clearly outclass the chunk of wood and metal he had put together. The minerals, while not plentiful, were enough to make the gauntlets. At least of a quality high enough to consider them worth using.
He placed what he needed at a bench a ways from the forge. Brier still wasn't entirely used to being young again, and neatly trips into the unlit smelter, bumping his head on the walls within. He climbs out, nearly stumbling again, then takes a bit of time regaining his balance. He lights the forge, then neatly processes the materials into several very small bars of silver, gold, platinum, and steel.
The bump on his head from earlier begins to give Brier a headache, and eventually his work has to be put to a halt. Brier takes a visit to the medical area across from the barracks and someone treats the light concussion he received.
Quickly returning to his work, Brier works the metals, and eventually finishes crafting the gauntlet. He uses the few leftover materials to make some decent carving tools, and gets the designs carved into the separate pieces of the gauntlet. After reassembling the pieces, Brier's technomagic gauntlets are complete. They didn't turn out as high quality as he hoped, but while wearing them he can certainly feel a difference in how mana flows in his hands.
Cicatrix/Seiyas
Seiyas and Cicatrix spend the morning working the bone tools into more versatile and tough materials. The quality of the bones become just weaker than iron from the enchantments of Seiyas, and Cicatrix warps the shape of a fair number of the tools into something more suited to digging up stone. The two attempted to make a decent bone golem with the new tools, but they found that it would either fall apart immediately, or the enchantments keeping the bone strong would fall apart upon movement.
They eventually settle on seeing the enhanced tool structure and strength as victory enough.
Ba'gandi Kashi
Ba and Cyrano step outside of the building into the blistering winds of the blizzard. Neither can see the other very well, but the two realize immediately when the match began. The rules were the same as the last match, and Ba was determined to win. Cyrano seemed no less confident, but this time Ba was calm, adn wouldn't go after Cyrano if he couldn't.
The battle raged through the morning, as Ba and Cyrano kept each other from moving more than a few steps. Eventually, one of Cyrano's men grew impatient and stepped into the battlefield. The two combatants flew at each other from the shock, exchanged punches, and then withdrew to the other side of the field. Cyrano took a sprint, and when Ba went to block his back as a lesson from the last duel, Cyrano got a knick under Ba's other eye from the feint Ba went to block. There were no theatrics, and both had acknowledged the end.
