You have barely passed through the next tunnel when you hear loud noises. Heavy objects seem to bang against each other. You get closer and see a forge. The woman hammering on a piece of metal wipes the sweat from her brow and then she sees you. She lowers her tools and starts talking. For whole minutes she seems to be talking about something very interesting, because she is very excited - but then she falls silent when she finally sees your confused expression. At first you stand there in awkward silence, until your gaze sweeps over impressive swords. You've always wanted one. She sees what catches your eye and understands. She beckons you closer to the forge and is ready to explain the procedure.
