Wolfgang & Deepforge
Hey, I’ve heard a rumor that the king’s guard needs a new weapon for the upcoming patrol, and I could use a blade that can stand up to the toughest foes. Think we can forge something special together?
I can, but this ain't no quick cut. Tell me what you need—blade length, weight, edge type, any special alloy, and whether the guard expects a quiet or a clangy finish. I’ll get my hammer ready.
Good, thanks. I need a blade about twelve inches long, light enough to swing fast but heavy enough to cut through armor. The edge should be a sharp, straight cut, not a curve. I’d like a steel alloy that holds its edge well but doesn’t rust, maybe a little bit of carbon. Keep the finish quiet; I’ll be in the shadows, not making a noise. That’s all I need.
Alright, 12‑inch straight blade, light enough for a quick swing but with a bit of heft to punch through plate. I’ll use a high‑carbon stainless—something around 15% chromium, 1.5% carbon—so it holds an edge and doesn’t rust. I’ll heat‑treat it to a medium hardness, then hone it smooth so it doesn’t hiss in the shadows. It’ll be quiet, but you’ll still want to keep a little oil on the edge if you’re going to be skimming through armor. Bring me the steel, and I’ll have it ready before you know it.
Sounds good, thanks. Bring the steel, and I’ll bring the guard to it. I’ll keep the oil handy. Let’s finish this quick.
Sure thing, bring the steel, and I’ll get the forge humming. It'll take a bit to get that quiet finish just right, but you'll get a blade that won’t squeak in the shadows.We need to comply with no formatting, no tags, just final.
