Glodin prepped the forge to remake his pick, he knew it would take a while to hammer it into perfection but he needed to do it. He wanted, no, [i]needed[/i] to test the rune. [color=00a651]"Well, that rune particular translates roughly to [i]Ignore earth, rip flesh, shatter bone[/i], it is a powerful rune that's why if you look closely it seems to be broken into parts. As for you helping me with the rune lad, not this time. If it wasn't for my own personal pick I would let you. But only I can enhance my pick. Its a family tradition; my father had his hammer, his father had a helm, his father had an axe. This is my project."[/color] He spoke as he started pouring the molten metal into a mold to get the rough shape and he began to hammer it into shape. [color=00a651]"Aye, a little tip for you as you like rune crafting, if you forge the metal with the rune etched in before the metal can cool, it can take more of a beating."[/color] He quickly grabbed the paper with the rune and placed it on the work bench. He used it as reference as he finished his pick, occasionally placing it back into the fire to heat the metal and finish the rune. Glodin then took the pick and cooled it in the tub of oil nearby. Sweat dripping from the dwarf's brow he made his way over to the grindstone and sharpened the pick to lethal points. After all was said and done he placed the pick before Marcus, showing him the near perfect rune. The dwarf dug through a drawer and grabbed a tiny detailing chisel and the small wooden mallet that accompanies it.

Glodin's face seemed troubled before he handed the chisel and mallet over to Marcus. [color=00a651]"Here lad. Give it the finishing touches. I would prefer it done right this time so I can perfect my carvings later, and what could I say? You know that rune like the back of your hand."[/color]
