Oh, where can they be?

I can't have just lost three like that. They aren't small...they must be...no...

Where are they?!

• "What have you lost?"

I took an order for some plate armour last week, and yesterday I received the three hundred steel ingots I'd need to make it.

I was just setting out my tools a minute ago, when I realised I'm three ingots short. I can't delay the armour. Lavirintos is going to the Abyss tomorrow for a Legion inspection and he needs the armour by then!

I don't know what to do....

• "Can I help?"

Well, if you're offering help, I'd be a fool to turn you down.

If you could somehow replace the three ingots I've lost, I'll be able to get the armour made and ready in time for the inspection.

What do you say, Daeva? Will you be able to get me three steel ingots?

I can pay well....

• Accept.
• Decline.

Oh, you may have just saved the day, Daeva! If you already have all the Iron Ore and Charcoal Briquettes, you can forge Steel Ingots on the table over there.

If you don't have the materials, then I'm afraid you'll have to travel to Tolbas Forest for the Iron Ore. Remember to collect spares before you come back. You may ruin a few ingots before you manage to get a perfect sample! The charcoal, though, you can buy from merchants around here.

Now please hurry. I can only do so much with the materials I have before I'll need the full quota of ingots.

• "I'll be back soon."

Vulcanus asked you to make three steel ingots. You first needed to dig up iron ore from the Tolbas Forest and buy Charcoal Briquettes. You then agreed to forge three steel ingots so that Vulcanus could make new plate armour for Lavirintos.

Ah, I've been waiting for you!

Okay, so the furnace is nearly at temperature, I've accounted for all my tools, I've fixed my tongs. All I need now are those last three ingots.

You did bring them to me, didn't you?

• "How are these?"

What? I don't understand.

It's quite simple, Daeva. You just need two things to make steel ingots, Iron Ore and Charcoal Briquette. Fetch them and forge them into steel ingots. That's all I need!

Please, Daeva. I'm desperate for help and have no one else I can turn to.

You must fetch the three steel ingots for me!

• "Sorry, that was my fault."

Oh, thank you!

Unfortunately, plate armour is so complicated to make that you need to have all the ingots together before you can start forging it. Everything folds together, you see. This causes headaches for most blacksmiths.

I'll get started right away on Lavirintos' armour. I think I should have enough time to spare.

Thank you, Daeva. Please take this.

Vulcanus, a Master Armoursmith, was devastated when he found out that three steel ingots were missing from his inventory, preventing him from making plate armour for Lavirintos.

He was very short on time, so you kindly agreed to gather iron ore then make the three replacement steel ingots for him.
