Master Of None

"Gil! When did you get here? Are all these materials the ones you have found to modify the bow?" Walker couldn't imagine that every single material would be used. There was just too much. If they were all used Gil would end up with a bow that was ten times as large as any bow was needed.

"What? No. I have the ones I am going to have used in the forge already. There are only a few but I managed to get a bunch of them and was already guided by the crossbow crafter. He helped me make a new string for the bow out of the gliding spiders' silk that lives in the mountains. I need the help of the elder here to modify the metal base and add other materials and a few runes." 

Gil seemed like he already knew everything he wanted with the bow. He also looked like he had learned to differentiate the regular materials by their elements. Something that he had most likely begun to develop without thinking due to his creation of different elemental arrows. 

"Leader, Midnight, and Onyx, as well as myself have received quests to help you. The modification should free the spirit and make you two much closer in bonding. We are really hoping for the best." Su was shown her curiosity a little more than before. Walker could only imagine what she had in mind for the future of Gils' bow. 

"Do you know how hard it is to forge a core like that!" The group looked toward the entrance to the elders' forge after hearing the elder yell out in frustration. 

"And I think Grey just told the elder what he wanted to do for the core of the dragon style shedding golem." Walker had a feeling that it was best that they had not directly followed him inside. They could have ended up as targets for the elder as well. 

"We can't just leave him. The spirit is going to be left out of the conversation." Su reminded Walker that it was important for the spirit to be there and decided that he should enter the elders' forge as well. 

The sight they came in to was Grey begging the elder to help him carve the ruins on to the core that he was going to use as the base for the golems' core. "I will have a golem made that is controlled by a fire spirit. It's the same as a sentient weapon bit better. The spirit according to them will be able to leave the golem so it can be controlled or just act as it is designed." Grey was arguing his case while the elder poured over written ideas and blue prints of bows.

"You want me to use hours to carve the runes with you then hope that it works. You know that adding this many runes to a golem core has never worked." The elder was very knowledgeable on what had and had not been done to cores. 

"I will help! I will help!" The fire elemental spirit flew to the air and was moving around the two arguing dwarves. The fear that Grey had had before was completely gone. He was nose to nose with his master and the elemental spirit was on his side. 

"The spirit says that it will help. I think that will mean you guys will have more than enough mana." Walker looked but found that the elders' thoughts still hadn't changed. 

"It's not about the mana so much as the core. The core can only handle so many runes before it won't work anymore. If it overloads then the golem could never work or worse, explode." The elder had seen this happen before and injure young golem builders just learning to inscribe their first cores. 

"Is it possible to add more to the core? There is a great many materials outside. I'm sure that some could be added to boost the strength of a golem core." Su wanted to think on the best train of thought and push for a new discovery instead of just dropping the idea. 

"If Grey can find that material and a way to do it. I will help. Until then. I am about to try and modify this bow here. I received a quest that I can not refuse. I will gain the basic spirit speak skills." The elder wanted the skill to speak to spirits very badly. If he was able to gain it then he would be able to work on more and more spirit forging projects with ease. 

"If that is what you are trying to get then I could offer to teach you a higher communication skill. I have a title called educationist. It would let me swap information with you. You would be able to try and learn the skill I have to speak to all elemental spirits. You would have a week to learn it though so it may be better for after we leave for home." Walker realized that the party was still there just for spirit fogging. They had already accomplished multiple goals and quests and the remainder was just to work on gear.

"You have another title?" The elder was again shocked. However, the party was used to people reacting this way. 

"And another or so. That's not important. I think that working on this core for the fire spirit will be a worthwhile decision." Walker spoke these words and watched the elder and Grey grow wide eyed. 

"I received a quest to help create a new golem core for the heroes golem"

"And I received a quest to make the new golem core and the new golem for the heroes." 

The elder spoke and was followed by Grey. Naturally, they were both excited to continue their research. It was a surprise that the heroes could cause quests but they had already heard of this when the elf city had unveiled itself.
