The sounds of hammer on metal

Early in the morning everyone in the Warriors hall is awoken by the sounds of the blacksmiths hammer pounding steel.  It is only 4 in the morning and no light peers through the windows.

Taklinn walks out of his room and into the forge.  "Dreygor!  tis good to see another using the forge.  I would like to let ye know I have used it a bit, but have done it no harm lad.  Tis a well made forge ye have, and I was wonderin' if it be alright with ye if I continued using her?  What are ye makin'?" he asks as he peeks over the anvil to see what Dreygor is working on.

Weariness can be seen in Dreygor's eyes.  As Taklinn looks over his should to see what he is making, he sees many nails. With much effort Dreygor speaks.
 
"I came into town about two hours ago and saw the tavern in ruins.  I thought the carpentors will need these to rebuild......"
 
With that Dreygor colapses on the floor infront of Taklinn obviously exhausted from traveling so far with no sleep.

Taklinn lets out a sigh as he reaches down to lift the Paladin (str 1) and carries him into his room and puts him on his bunk and covers him up after taking his boots off.  "The more things change the more they stay the same it seems.  Rest well old friend." he says quietly as he turns and goes back into the forge to continue working on the nails.
