Mollie, Circa, and Lu Ban continued to hunt in the area while Nix helped Zane at the forge. They came back several hours later, just as the sun was setting. Four orange blades were sticking out of the quenching barrel. They were still hiltless and without enhancements; Nix and Zane were sitting on the ground nearby, eating from two open cans.
"This is Otter?" Zane held a fork in one hand and gestured to the meat he had impaled.
Nix nodded. "The biggest Otter you've ever seen."
Lu Ban and his group approached them. "How are the weapons?"
Zane gestured to his barrel. "Formed and sharpened; still plenty left to do, but I can do the rest myself."
Nix finished the remainder of his meal and then stowed the can in his inventory. "Can you make some armor for that ranger?"
Zane nodded. "Leather, right? Maybe with some woodlore enhancements?"
