The adventurers depart the Tower of the Guard armed with perhaps a bit more information than before they arrived. It is a short walk back down the hill into the central market, which is now occupied by various farmers and merchants hawking their wares. The smithy lies just north of the market, on the way to the temple, and is the party's next stop.
The sound of a hammer ringing out on a forge is normal for such an establishment, but not so for this smithy. A ruddy, dark-haired, bearded man wearing a stained leather smock absent-mindedly putters about in an exterior workshop. The workshop is littered with various odds, ends, and tools, of the trade, none of which look like they have seen any recent use.
The village smith, Voril, looks up from whatever occupied his attention when the adventurers enter the workshop.
"Morning, folks," he says in a distant tone while holding a heavy pair of forge tongs.
"You be needing piece work?" he asks, looking over the party and making assumptions.
