[Darkblade Fortress] Armory of Darkblade

[Tasad R'rowl]

After leaving Eyvind's office Tasad headed for the armory, intent upon picking up his armor and getting that matter taken care of. Once outside the twisting corridors of the Fortress Tasad asked one of the guards to the locations of the armory and after recieving them headed to the north side of the Forge, the Fortresses training grounds.

Seeing the armory and hearing the clanging of hammers Tasad walked into the entrance and looked around, allowing his eyes to adjust to the dim light before moving farther inside. Seeing a dwarf, who seemed to be checking inventory Tasad wlked up to him and growled out," Serale, Cencuros Redbeard told me to get my arms and armor from the forge."

The dwarf turned and stared at the newcomer in his domain, taking stock of the katta before replying," Well, ye be a comin to tha right place me bucko, but I gotta be tellin ya that I am mighty well pressed to be having a full set just layin ere bouts that will be fittin ye. Get down to yer skimpys and I'll be getting yer measurements to see what ah can be a doin for ya."

The dwarf's brogue was think and it took Tasad a moment to understand what he said. Once he deciphered it the katta quickly disrobed and stood still allowing the dwarf to take the measurements. When he was finsihed the dwarf said,"I'll be a needin to know yer rank so that I can be a making sure ye get the right set."

"Captain." Tasad replied

Looking at him wit some surprise the dwarf said," We'll I ain't been a havin an officer be comin through ere in a bit, but ah should be a havin the right helmet although Ah'll be havin to moddify it to be aittin yer snout. But let me be a seein what I got that you can be a wearin and Ah'll be right back."

With that the dwarf exited through a door and Tasad heard clanging and banging coming through the portal as the dwarf muttered to himself. After a few moment the dwarf came back out with a full set of armor and setting it down before Tasad said," Ere, be a tryin this on and let me see how it be a fitin ye."

Tasad put the armor on as he had done numerous times in training and in actual service. Shortly he was encased in good dwarvish steel and the dwarf was pulling and tugging to see how it fit. After a few moment he said," It'll be workin fer ye just fine, but it'll not be till in tha mornin that Ah'll be havin yer helm moddyfied so be comin back then. Shields and swords are on a rack on the way out so be choosin ye one of each."

With that the dwarf turned and called a helper over, giving him the task of modifying the helm for Tasad.

Turning to the exit Tasad saw the racks of shields and swords and after taking a suitable amount of time picked one of each that fit him perfectly. Leaving the smithy he returned to the barracks to get the rest of his gear in order for his upcoming journey/

The Next Brightening

Tasad entered the forge early and met with the dwarf from the day before. With very little speaking, apparently the dwarf was not a morning person, he produced Tasad's helm and had him try it on. It fit him perfectly and didn't bother his muzzle at all. It allowed a good field of vision and air flow while providing excellent coverage for his face and eyes. Thanking the dwarf Tasad left the armory to get the rest of his things and to get a move on.
