And I will smite my enemiiiiieeeeees! [Closed]

At last, progress on one front; the wizard had finally arranged for that sword-forging that he'd promised Ronnae what seemed like lifetimes ago.

He'd gone to the usual efforts of tidying up the place: cleaning out the area around the teleport circle, scrubbing free the caked-on layers of ash and grit from many an explosion, and laboriously fumigated the last lingering hints of beer-waterfall out of the cracks of his furniture. Now, having called the orc girl, he simply folded his forelegs in front of him and lounged on a rug near his comfortable furniture, reading from a book that floated in midair.

(No. He hadn't bothered to dispel the magic that had him in a draconic form at the moment. Why should he?)

Ronnae smiled looking at the bag, "Hey neat! You have those too!? We have bags like those back home, actually I think the largest one was an actual hole you could fold and carry around, then unfold it and put or take out anything."

"Amazing," Daja said, fascinated. "How much space fits inside?"

After her considerable payment from Zetta, storage had become an issue for Daja. Oh, she had constructed a safe for the gold and silver, of course - but her cottage and forge was becoming increasingly filled with swords, armour, and other scrap metals.

"I have one of those," he said to Ronnae with some surprise. He hadn't actually imagined that a portable hole would be developed in two worlds so obviously different.

Back to Daja; he patted the bag as he answered. "This is a small one -- thirty cubic feet or so, and two hundred fifty pounds maximum weight. There are other sizes, though; the largest holds six times as much weight in two hundred and fifty cubic feet of space. It weights a lot more, though."

She nodded, "They're pretty amazing, specially when traveling and adventuring. Our troops usually carried around 6 different bags for all their gear and materials and essentials and such."

"And you are able to create these bags?" Daja asked.

"Absolutely," Aibghalien said with a grin. "Interested, I take it?"

Ronnae wondered if she should take the moment to ask for one as well. But seeing as this wasn't her business deal, she'd sit back and wait for another time. Having more of those bags was always too good of an asset.

"I will craft this sword for five of your largest bags," Daja said. Her asking price was significantly less than she would normally start with for a - but Ronnae's situation had captured her sympathy, and so Daja was willing to go easy on the pair when it came to bargaining.

[[Aaaaah let me know if Daja is way off in terms of price here. I'm not really sure how much these would cost in D&D canon, so I'm kinda just guessing, sob]]

"For what we intend to do to this sword, that's perfectly reasonable," he said with a grin, one hand lifted in a loose fist in anticipation. "We are going to make this weapon something special indeed."

Ronnae couldn't help but feel overwhelmed that people were going out of their way for her. She bowed as low as she could, keeping her head down. "I thank you greatly. You do not have to do this for me, but still you both give your time and resources to help. I don't know how to repay you but I promise I will be there if either of you ever need anything at all." She was confused yes, aside from her family, anyone who offered 'help' back home was always out to use her. However this time it felt different, and it felt genuine. She didn't know how to react.

Daja blinked in mild surprise - they did not wish to haggle? In her world, only fools paid the first price.

But perhaps the bags were less expensive that she had estimated. Even so, they would be nonetheless be invaluable to her. "Then we have a deal. And you owe me no debt, Ronnae. The price has already been set, and there will be no further obligations. The only thing I will need is assistance in taking measurements of your weapon."

Aibghalien was used to doing things much differently -- for many, many reasons. Five of those bags represented only a mild investment compared to the might he intended to imbue the sword with.

"What's with the serious tone, Ronnae?" he asked. "We're friends, aren't we?"

Her face reddened at the kind words from both, specially Abi's mention of being friends. She stood straight once more with an embarrassed expression. "I.... y-yeah we are. I'm... jus' not used to this is all." She rubbed her arms protectively. "I'll a-assist any way I am needed to."

"You will assist all of us, by using your skills with a blade," Daja said. "I can fight, but I am not a warrior. It is warriors like you who wil defend us from the Ohm."

"Get used to it," Aibghalien said cheerfully, though on the inside he was seething. If she had experienced no true camaraderie in the ranks of those she fought beside, then their reasons for making her the bearer of that hideous axe were all-too-clear. That being the case, he would break those intentions into so many scattered pieces.

'Th-thank you both so much. I promise I will honor this act and fight fiercely with every ounce of my body to protect everyone." She blushed slightly and smiled.

"And I will ensure that the weapon you fight with is of the highest quality," Daja said, bowing. "It has been a pleasure doing business with you."

"I should thank you," Aibhalien said with a razor-precise bow in return. "You have my utmost gratitude, and soon you'll have some bags of holding as well. Profitable all around."

She smiled at both, "It was a very nice meeting, most definitely. And I'm very glad I got to meet you miss Daja." She turned to her friend, "And it's always nice spending time with you Abi." She smiled cheerily.
