"Your electrical Magics would most likely cause burns and perhaps damage neural tissue, which is why I suggested drowning. Excess Cellular fluid can be accounted for but damage would be difficult to access the original state of the tissue." So the horse was left to live another day, in fact it had already began to wander off, edging away from the strange fish person which was all too eager to touch it. It was a shame really, a shame that he had no stone tablets to write upon his observations as brief as they were. The rest of the group seemed to drag itself and the metal scrap pieces from the battle over to the blacksmith, or rather grey-smith. The plan was to melt down a sword into the cast steel and from there create new weapons for their ragtag group. Weaponry was really not of R'lyeh's concern given that he used his to simply assist him in walking as they had taken his stainless steel staff earlier. What was more endearing was the selflessness of the Blue Kobold who would rather make a spear and dagger than a dagger and rapier. A rapier and dagger took the majority of the steel combination, however a dagger and spear would hardly take any. Something was certainly not quite right here, just by mere analysis of material to production yield ratio. "Pardon me to interject, however, although I am not a blacksmith by trade, I have studied S'Augwin metallurgy. I believe your earlier statement and estimate of total material in the sword is inaccurate. Assuming your forge is adequately tempered at the proper heat of melting for steel and the oxygen content is idealized, I would apply a 90 to 95% material recovery ratio from the steel weapon my companion has provided." The Sagahin had to pause a bit due to the heat of the forge, "From this, I had estimated the human's weapon to provided adequate material for all three weapons, given the relatively little steel is actually required to make a spearhead is approximately equal to that of a dagger. Also, given the taper of the rapier, dependent upon design and craftsmanship, I suspect it is also feasible to create a steel rapier out of the remaining material which should be at about 60-70% remaining of the original amount of steel." "That being said, I mean not to insinuate that you are deliberately attempting to retain an amount of steel for your own production purposes, but perhaps an error is estimation..." A quick but convoluted apology should he offend the Kobold's scheme of swindling some steel for himself. "Alright, Alright, you caught me, I was going to melt some steel into making some nails..." The Grey-scale admitted freely to avoid being insulted in his craft by a bookish fish-person. "But I don't know what sort of fancy furnaces you fish folk have down there, you need to teach me how to make some of that unrustable metal you folks make in the sea." "The process of making such steel requires a particular blending of materials in a specified ratio per the temperature of our undersea vents within minimized air exposure. If you are interested, in the event that my currently steel staff is return to me, you may have it as payment for the services provide here? I may purchase another with my research funds provided by the Aug'Toor. However until then, I would require merely a spearhead to be made for myself, one which can replace the current one I am using."
