Trasok Starhammer |
|
YOU: I'm back to learn more about making jewelry. |
|
Trasok Starhammer looks up from a scrap of paper. |
|
Trasok Starhammer: So I see. |
Trasok Starhammer: Well, I suppose it's as good a time as ever. |
Trasok Starhammer: I have a job I've been asked to fill, you can help me and learn as we go. |
Trasok Starhammer: As I don't really have time to work out what all of these bits mean. |
Trasok Starhammer: Sound fair? |
|
YOU: Yes, you have a deal. |
|
Trasok Starhammer: Good. |
Trasok Starhammer: Uri Djho-Maat sent over an order for a fancy new necklace, but I can't quite make out what gems he wants where. |
Trasok Starhammer: If ye go find out what he wants and bring back the necessary gems, I'll show ye how to add gems to jewelry. |
|
YOU: I'll do it. |
|
Trasok Starhammer looks over the order again and sighs. |
|
Trasok Starhammer: Some of this looks rather intricate, so the gems will have to be specially cut. |
Trasok Starhammer: Make sure ye talk to Ondren Torr once ye're clear on what Sir Djho-Maat wants. |
Trasok Starhammer: Kra is probably the best gem cutter in the Dome. |

Uri Djho-Maat |
|
YOU: Trasok had some questions about your necklace order. |
|
Uri Djho-Maat: I thought I was quite clear with what I wanted... |
|
Uri Djho-Maat sighs. |
|
Uri Djho-Maat: I suppose I should be thankful he asked instead of guessing wrong. |
Uri Djho-Maat: Give it to me and I'll make it so even he can figure out what I want. |
|
YOU: Here you are. [You give Uri the order.] |
|
Uri Djho-Maat makes some additional notes on the paper before handing it back to you. |
|
Uri Djho-Maat: There... |
Uri Djho-Maat: That should be clear enough for him. |

Ondren Torr |
|
YOU: I need some gems cut for a special necklace. Trasok said you could help. |
|
Ondren Torr: Did he now? |
Ondren Torr: Well, not a bad guess. |
Ondren Torr: What do you need? |
|
YOU: This is the design. [You hand Ondren the order.] |
|
Ondren Torr studies the order. |
|
Ondren Torr: I see. |
Ondren Torr: This is indeed some intricate work. |
|
Ondren Torr looks at you. |
|
Ondren Torr: I don't have enough of the right gems at the moment. |
Ondren Torr: If you get them for me I'll only bill Trasok for the cutting. |
Ondren Torr: Or I can add them to my next order, but you'll have to pay for the gems in advance and it will take time to get them. |
|
YOU: I'll get them for you. What do you need? |
|
Ondren Torr: I'll need three diamonds, four sapphires, six emeralds, and two rubies. |
|
YOU: Here are the gems you asked for. [You give Ondren the assortment of gems.] |
|
Ondren Torr: Thank you. |
|
Ondren Torr begins cutting the gems. |
|
-Kra works for several minutes when suddenly kra frowns.- |
|
Ondren Torr: Oh, dear. |
|
YOU: What is it? |
|
>Ondren Torr doesn't pay attention to you. |
|
YOU: What is it? |
|
Ondren Torr holds out kras hand to show you a shattered sapphire. |
|
Ondren Torr: This happens sometimes when there's an imperfection in the gem. |
Ondren Torr: Instead of cutting along the plane I want, the gem shatters along the flaw, leaving a pile of fragments. |
Ondren Torr pops some of the fragments into kras mouth. |
Ondren Torr: It doesn't affect the taste any, fortunately. |
Ondren Torr: I'm afraid you'll need to get another sapphire while I work on the remaining gems. |
|
YOU: Here is the extra sapphire. [You give Ondren one more sapphire.] |
|
Ondren Torr: Excellent. |
Ondren Torr: I was able to complete cutting the other gems without incident. |
|
Ondren Torr cuts the sapphire and adds it to a sack with the other gems. |
|
Ondren Torr: Here are the cut gems and my bill for Trasok, along with the original order. |

Trasok Starhammer |
|
YOU: I have the cut gems for Uri's necklace. |
|
Trasok Starhammer: Ah, good. |
|
Trasok Starhammer coughs. |
|
Trasok Starhammer: I trust ye also have the updated necklace order from Sir Djho-Maat and the bill from Ondren? |
|
YOU: Yes, it's all here. |
|
Trasok Starhammer: Ok, hand them over. |
|
YOU: [You give Trasok the sack of gems, the bill, and the clarified order.] |
|
Trasok Starhammer looks at Ondren's bill before pouring the gems into his hand. |
|
-He holds one of the cut gems up to the light.- |
|
Trasok Starhammer: Ondren's skills don't come cheap, but kra sure does fin... |
|
-He pauses.- |
|
Trasok Starhammer: Doesn't really matter to me since I'll just add kras bill to the one I send to Uri. |
|
YOU: Will you show me how to add gems to jewelry now? |
|
Trasok Starhammer looks at you. |
|
Trasok Starhammer: Guess I should since ye held up your end of the bargain. |
Trasok Starhammer: I made the necklace while ye were away. |
|
Trasok Starhammer points to an unpolished platinum necklace. |
|
Trasok Starhammer: Now for the socket to hold the gem. |
Trasok Starhammer: First, ye need to make some wire of the same metal as the piece of jewelry. |
|
Trasok Starhammer picks up a wire mold and steps over to the forge where he pours in a small amount of molten platinum. |
|
Trasok Starhammer: Once ye have the wire, cut it into four strands. |
|
Trasok Starhammer continues assembling Uri's necklace as he describes the process. |
|
Trasok Starhammer: Use two strands to make the socket. |
Trasok Starhammer: Next, take the socket and the piece of unpolished jewelry and put them together into a kit. |
Trasok Starhammer: Of course at this point y'll need to have a good amount of skill in metallurgy...enough ta melt platinum. |
Trasok Starhammer: If ye don't ye can always work with someone who does and get molten platinum that way. |
|
YOU: Can I attach a socket to a finished piece of jewelry I already have? |
|
Trasok Starhammer: No, that won't work. |
Trasok Starhammer: And make sure ye don't polish the jewelry before trying to attach the socket. |
Trasok Starhammer: Ye set the gem in the socket -then- polish the piece up. |
|
Trasok Starhammer finishes setting the gems and polishes the necklace until it almost glows. |
|
Trasok Starhammer: A fine piece if I do say so myself. |
|
Trasok Starhammer carefully wraps the necklace in a clean piece of cloth and hands it to you along with the bill. |
|
Trasok Starhammer: Take this necklace and the bill to Uri. |
Trasok Starhammer: When ye get back, I'll answer any further questions ye might have about making gemstone jewelry. |

Uri Djho-Maat |
|
YOU: Here is your necklace. [You give him the necklace.] |
|
Uri Djho-Maat unwraps and inspects the necklace. |
|
Uri Djho-Maat: Trasok lives up to his secret reputation, he doesn't like people talking about his skill at jewelry making. |
Uri Djho-Maat: This will be a most suitable gift. |
|
Uri Djho-Maat looks at you. |
|
Uri Djho-Maat: I suppose he sent a bill as well? |
|
YOU: Here it is. [You give Uri the bill.] |
|
Uri Djho-Maat gives a quick glance at the bill and casually throws a large handful of coins in a pouch. |
|
Uri Djho-Maat: Yes, yes, here you go. |
Uri Djho-Maat: Since Trasok trusted you to deliver this, I will assume I can trust you to return with his payment. |
|
Uri Djho-Maat hands you a pouch full of tria as he continues admiring the necklace. |

Trasok Starhammer |
|
YOU: Here is Uri's payment for the necklace. He seemed quite pleased. |
|
Trasok Starhammer: That's good to hear. |
Trasok Starhammer: Happy customers are more likely to be repeat customers. |
Trasok Starhammer: So do ya have any questions about jewelry making? |
|
YOU: Do you have the instructions written down for making this kind of jewelry? |
|
Trasok Starhammer looks around and picks up a book from a corner. |
|
Trasok Starhammer: Ah of course, almost forgot. |
Trasok Starhammer: Ye can use this book to help remember the process. |
|
YOU: Will I eventually be able to make jewelry like the necklace you made for Uri? |
|
Trasok Starhammer: The book I just gave you only covers how to set a single gem on a piece of jewelry. |
Trasok Starhammer: I'm not going to give away all my crafting secrets. |
Trasok Starhammer: However, this also means ye don't need to worry about learning how to cut gems. |
|
YOU: What about enchanted jewelry? |
|
Trasok Starhammer: I don't deal with enchanted gems meself, but the process is the same except you use a gem enchanted by a mage. |
Trasok Starhammer: As for the effect of the enchantment, y'll have to fig'er that out yerself. |
|
YOU: I think that answers all my questions. Thanks, Trasok. |
|
Trasok Starhammer counts the coins from Uri and raises his eyebrows. |
|
Trasok Starhammer: This is a lot of tria. |
Trasok Starhammer: That guy loves throwing it around. |
Trasok Starhammer: Here, since ye did a lot of the running around, take a share. |
|
-He hands you a pouch of tria.- |
|
Trasok Starhammer: Good, that's done. |
Trasok Starhammer: Maybe now I can get some work done around here. |
