" An army can't function without three things. Troops, Food, and equipment. We are defiantly short on the last one. Welcome aboard." Aegis held out a clawed hand to Santa. " Aegis Gram. Vice commander of the Hawks. Great to meet ya." Even as he said the words the intimating form melted away to the young man's real body.

Without batting an eyelash, Santa shook his hand. "Vice Commander, you have my hammer. You can also have my shield, my armor, my weapon, my jewelry - Literally. Lots of them. Masterfully done. Pretty fast. Maybe my golems, once I can make one." Claus heaved a deep sigh. "If I can make one." "Just make sure no one bothers me when I'm making art."

"Art Yea? " Aegis said with a wry grin. " I always wanted to become a patron of the arts." Putting an arm around the dwarfs shoulder he pointed off into the make-believe distance. " Don't get down. I can see it now. Golems walking the streets. helping serve and protect the people. " He let go and moved back to the bar " A round of stout all around....Oh and a mead for the winged ladies. "

The gruff looking dwarf nods in agreement. "Ale tis best left to us dwarves." He then motioned towards the young vice commander. "or to those who have the stomach fer it." The dwarf then rose from his seat, and the couple was taken aback. He is the tallest dwarf they've ever laid eyes upon. "I propose a toast. Here's a start to a beautiful relationship. I make 'em, you make 'em famous by yer valorous deeds and heroic exploits. Plus it doesn't hurt to earn a gold piece or two." The three clanged their mugs loud and hard, as customary for people entering into a mutually beneficial partnership. Claus downed his mug in one gulp. "Well, as much as I love ale, I love making art more. Best I be off now and head to the capitol. I have been there before so I can get there in no time. I'll have beautiful works of art made by the time ye come back. Fare thee well."

( A Hawk swoops in with a message tied to one of its legs, the note reads)
Greetings dear friends back in Three Rivers,
This is Sven writing all the way from the cold north of the Ismark. The weather here is as fierce as its people but twice as beautiful. Well I shall get to the point. I will be fighting a duel to the death soon against an other worldly opponent. I would request a Earthbreaker to match the one I use in battle. This weapon must be covered with our one of our resources of Mithril. That way I would be able to have a slight advantage against my foe. I will make sure the smith is paid well for such endeavor. While in the wilds I have captured many exotic beasts and monsters that I can give as well as my personal coin. Thank you again. Sven Von Jeggare currently in the Ismark Capitol.

Claus heard a knock at the door. It was one of the young skinny lads, fleet of foot, who run around doing errands like delivering 'air mail'. "Good sir, one of our message hawks brings tidings." He handed the sealed message. Breaking the seal and reading the message, Claus burned it and told the young lad, "Go and reply back that tis Mithril Earthbreaker's already made and done and ready fer pick up." As the young lad runs down the hall, Claus hollered after him, "and make sure ye bring in lots of cider ale! I'm famished!"

(Another Hawk swoops in bearing a letter on its leg)
To the great crafter Lord Claus,
Tales of your workmanship and speed of craft have reached me in the far north. I have heard that you had personally created my mighty hammer in a day when so many others would of taken them weeks. The artwork of the scroll that was etched onto the weapon brings notice to your attention to detail and your professionalism in your trade. It is truly something that I will be honored to wield in battle. I will use it well in the battles to come.
Thank you, Sven Von Jeggare of the House of Jeggare.

After about a week in the forests Sona and Aegis returned with a lot of wild game. A buffalo and two boars as well as a fox pelt. However the greatest prize was a Dire Boar that Aegis had to send some of the towns folk to carry in. That night they set up a marvelous fire outside of the Odd Couple's tap-house and roasted the pigs suckling style.
With the smell of roast pork filling the night Aegis sat down at one of the outdoor tables beside and hoisted a tankard of the finest Stout to ever grace his tongue. It felt like the kind of night you tell people about if your lucky enough to get old, or if you're the type to brag about partys.

when the food arrives sona is full of glee and joy proud of the clean work her rifles done and of aegis for keeping the beasts from running. she walks over to aegis as the food is prepared to be cooked exotic spices going round and round from lands near and far to make a truly unique scent and taste of the boar. "Aegis I was thinking firearms are relatively new and not all the people may know bout them and the wounds they cause, but that isn't what i am concerned about from is the cleaning of the bullet from the wound do you think they will do as such if not i fear some of us may find its of shattered mythril bullets in our teeth...." her face blank as she thinks about how bad it will be if some one bites full force on those shards, or worse she does.

Aegis looked at her for a second and then bit down hard. There was a loud crunching sound and he spat out a mangled bullet. " Oh yea we should probably warn the villagers about them. " He grinned wide showing his teeth were no worse the wear for the bullet.

Comrade-in-arms Sven,
I am happy ye like it. I will hold on to yer last sentence like a mad-as-a-cow dwarven berserking barbarian grapples a hapless orc to death. In case ye don't get dwarf-speak, that means I consider that yer oath. I made it to help you be victorious in battles. Make sure you keep yer side of the bargain - my signature is placed in the base of the hammer so ye can "stamp" my seal of excellence on yer enemies. Ye can show yer appreciation by sending me lots of orc heads with my seal stamped on their foreheads.
Signed, Santa Claus
[Claus seals the message and gave it to one of the runners. "Attach it to the message hawk that came in about an hour ago. And if ye would be so kind to bring me some cider ale on yer way back."]

Claus' grubby hands came out of nowhere. The roast pork did not stand a chance, and twas gone in a matter of minutes. He sucked his grubby fingers clean when he was done. "I'd say, that's a pretty tasteful dire boar. Better than the one I had three weeks ago. My compliments to the chef. Ho ho ho." He lazily rubbed his bloated stomach while talking to Aegis. "Do ye got anything fer me vice commander?"

(Another Hawk Swoops in with a note addressed to Craft Master Claus.)
Master Crafter,
Aye, I shall stamp the head of many of enemies to the band and send them to ye. It may be many days or moons by the time I will be able to come home. I plan to buy you a couple rounds at the ale house. Your craft has been the jewel of Three Rivers.
