You see Alaron. I am, at the moment, the most active forger we have.
Now, in Ashtan's many many player-run shops, there are many many of my
forged dirks and whips. These will all be pulled from the shelves. If
the shadowsnakes would like to use these forged weapons, that's a shame.

We rely on venoms, believe me when I say, that 90% of the people in the
guild have stockpiled their own venoms, to avoid a possible price raise.
I know I have a small share I had set aside for a rainy day. It's not
much, but enough to last me.

I remember forging quite a bit of items for a few shadowsnakes. They
need their dirks to dstab, if they don't have dirks, well then, that's
too bad. And with steel as high as it is right now, it wouldn't be cheap
anyway.

You may be saying, "But what about the Paladin guild, Koujin? Can't they
forge?" Yes. Yes they can. And they have a few decent forgers. Then
theres Mersalis. However, I've seen some of these forgings. And I'm not
in the least bit scared or worried that we can't last this thing out.

So Alaron, the next time I have to waste my gold to respond to statement
that obviously has been thought of, for it really was the first thing we
thought of, I'm going to kill you.

That is all
