Master Of None

"What's the last one? You are taking so long to check it." Remey was the most excited looking to hear what the last ore was. But Gil and Sui both held expectant looks while trying to hide their curiosity. Originally they had all not expected much but had been greatly surprised by what they had found. 

Walker grabbed the last piece of ore and used the all around appraisal skill, 

'Grey stone

The most common form of stone in the world. It can be found everywhere and is great for stone pathways. Often used as a platform for artists to carve on or even create statues from. The grey stone is usually over looked and never appraised unless for roads.'

Walker dropped the stone and realized that the party had saved the worst for last. He was a little devastated by this anticlimatic end to the ores they had found. "We used all our luck and now it's the end for us." Gil started up an over dramatic rant. 

While Gil was being Gil, Walker thought about the others they had gained. He was happy to have the basic iron and copper ores since they would be able to easily fill in when they had gear built. However, the two stars of the show were the blood iron which held secrets, and the thousand year olf amber which could be used as an important material. 

The fossilized bone had gone to Midnight so they were happy to help her improve. No one was unhappy with this but it felt like it was there and gone so quickly making everyone feel a slight loss. Walker knew that these items brought with them some nice future crafting endeavors. He even planned to see if the wandering blacksmith would be able to improve the gear they had when they finally returned home. 

"I know we can't use much of what we got yet, but it makes me excited. These are all ores that we don't often have or even know of. Imagine what the dwarven kingdom will have since it is specialized in crafting and living in the ground." Remey was enjoying the many possibilities.

"I believe we will have a very fortuitous experience. We still need to go and speak to the golem builder as well. The golem cores have rested in leaders' inventory for a long time now." Su brought up a major fact. Walker had held on to the golem cores and not been able to use them for anything as of yet. Now that he had the chance to learn about them he needed to make the best of it. When they got to the dwarven kingdom and dealt with the yellow slimes they could focus on other goals. 

"The real question I have is, will I be able to be a master of a golem? It's not the same as a tamer I know that. But it could be cool if I had a golem that could keep up with me and be my speedy shielder." Remey thought that having another person in the party that could use a shield and wouldn't matter if they were destroyed would be useful. A golem fit the bill perfectly. 

"I have no idea. It could be something like the builder of the golem had to be the one to use it or we need a specific Item?" Gil was equally lost but luckily Su and Walker appeared to have an idea of what the requirements were. 

"I know that more than just the builder of the golem can use it. I read in a book once that it requires some sort of magical rune circle and an item. Or the master of the golem would need some form of skill to link their mana to it. It is highly dependent on some mana cores made by the dwarves." Walker basically recited this from memory. His mental archive skill was showing its' benefits.

"The dwarves have an entire army of golems but never use them. They prefer to utilize their army to mine more and look for other rare items under the ground. They do strive to make the best golems possible so they are always looking for better materials. Their mana cores are only able to be made through the dwarves' hidden skills. No one has been able to copy it before." Su had read a book called the mysteries of the dwarves and read these passages. 

"So if I can get an item to control the golem I can have my own little army of golems." Remey looked like she was trying to plan out her own herb and battle farming operation.

"If the dwarves could be less stubborn then I believe they could make massive advances in technology. The magical applications are also prevalent." Su stated this commonly known trait of the dwarven people making everyone sigh a little. They were worried that they would have trouble getting in to their kingdom and out easily. They would need to really pique the dwarves' interest. 

"We shouldn't have any problem since we are the ambassadors, right?" Gil had been following the same train of thought and came to the worry that they would have trouble even entering the city.

"We will have a lot of things with us to help us pass through their gates. Worst case I can show off some of the weapons or the ores we found." But that is something for us to worry about another day. I think we should all relax a little and enjoy a short day off." Walker no sooner said this and had the door of the tree house burst open.

"Hello! Hello! I am here to get a tour from the heroes." Scylla was smiling widely revealing her sharper teeth. She had been waiting for the party to return from their errand so that she could find a way to learn more about their battle prowess.
