As you open the door you're engulfed in a large cloud of smoke and soot, almost instantly covering you in a black layer. Your scent of smell is almost physically assaulted, and for a moment it feels like you're going to suffocate. Then the cloud passes, leaving you with a sore throat, a burnt nose, and a different skin color. You can hear the banging of steel on steel, common to black smith's workplaces, as if the world wanted to assault your hearing as well for good measure. However, through the black fog you can see a massive, heavily muscled orc clad in a leather apron. He's wreathed in an almost demonic red glow from the hot coals, and he barely looks up at you, obviously in the middle of a forging. However, within a moment he places the glowing steel in a trough of water, turning towards you.As Jaqural approaches, you notice several things. The first is his odd skin color. Unlike most orcs, Jaqural is bright white, contrasting with the soot that's found it's way onto his skin and covers his face. His eyes also are red, the clear signs of an albino. However, you have never heard of such a thing as an albino orc, and the effect is rather terrifying rather than silly-looking. The second thing is that the man instantly punches you in the gut, his fist picking you up and launching you through the doorway you'd just walked through. The heavy-set orc steps out after you in the time it takes you to realize your bones aren't broken, and steps on your chest, the pressure making you once more unsure as to whether all your bones are intact.As he gets closer, the albino orc's features become clearer, the lack of soot and smoke helping a lot. He has heavy eyebrows, set in a permanent frown, contrasting with the almost playful smirk on his face as he looks down at you. There are the usual scars and signs of battle that no orc would be seen without, and one of his eyes doesn't appear to be working properly. There's a sternness in his features that suggests a harshness of a more psychological nature than what most orcs are used to. Even for an orc, this figure is massive, and you realize he must have ducked to get out of the blacksmith's quarry. "A new recruit, eh? The old ones know not to walk in uninvited. All ya pointy-ears look the same to me!"

Raphion coughed to the side 3 times from the soot in his throat then said to Jaqural "Sorry I didn't know that. I just joined today. Also all the other blacksmiths I've been to don't do that so I'm not really used to stuff like that." He then thought to himself [i]'It would have been nice to have been warned about that rule.'[/i] He then continued "So now that I know that's how you do things I gotta ask. May I please get up then come in?"
