After the incident at the warehouse I realized that I was not yet ready to take on a powerful mage with the gear I had. Tyson was generous enough to give me some of his more secretive contacts to make a purchase I had longed for since being a child.
I walked into the secluded home in a dark nook of Alspar to find a father and son working together, both Dwarven. I knew right away why these two were kept in secret.
"Magic?" the smaller dwarf said staring at me.
I replied, "I heard you two could be discreet in enchanting my bow"
The stubbled mouth around the boys mouth grew into a smile, eyes wide and bright as he shouted in excitement, "MAGIC!!"
The older dwarf shushed his son and looked at me, "Don't get him excited. Alspar has enough problems of its own. We don't need authorities shutting down our business if they hear him shouting."
I nodded in agreement.
He continued, "My name is Rohdan and this is Randal. I can do what you seek, but it will take 16 days and cost 2000 gold."
Luckily for me the rogue in our group had already known the cost of my quest. Aura seemed to know the inner workings of city life and its costs. She lent me the money I was missing prior to meeting Rohdan. Borrowing money from a rogue may cost me later. Although, if it means I meet the dark mage with an arrow to the face, I will gladly be in her debt.
Rohdan allowed me to stay in his home while he worked. I used this free time to meditate.
