Back in high school my friend would come over to smoke weed at my house. My mother didn't care, but he was so nervous at the idea that he insisted we find some place where no one would be. Of course we lived in a city and he refused any spot where someone could even possibly see us if they passed by. It was a ridiculous and annoying railroad.

Another time this girl Stephanie, however, asked me to drive her home to some area I'd never been to and that was a kind of long trip, but there was a nice reward at the end.

Is the BBEG the dumb bitch in the truck?

Does saving catatonic spelunkers count?

I'm a mountain rescue team member in an area filled with caves and tunnels.

Most memorable had to be looking for a girl who got stuck in a vertical shaft face to face with a decomposing corpse of someone who fell in there a few days before. Her fiance left her inside to look for us and then couldn't exactly find the place again - we had to check several places before we found the right one. She spent five hours there, alone. By the time we got her out she was catatonic.

This was my day Fa/tg/uys Prolly the best day of the year for me. I was told i'm a valuable member of the team, if i pass this layout test to become a journeyman i'll be the youngest journeyman ever in that shop history. that along side with getting my relic hammer it feels great almost like everything is really starting to fall into place in my life ^^. So i thank you all for your time in reading. I also took pics of my hammer and raw material if anyone is interested. No time stamps though can take a time stamped one tomorrow if anyone is interested. also express interest for pics (be warned they are low quality)

This story, while told as RL vs. Gaming whimsey, is a good example of the potential in a crafting/quest system; to have a player
1. Be tested by their peers
2. Be tested by their adversaries
3. Have their self discipline tested
4. Have a last-minute setback
5. Must show mastery of techniques by using what is taught

Makes better sense than running around collecting ingots to make 1000+ pans and iron daggers. It's a "meaningful grind" as it were. Thanks Anon.

I don't know about others, but I don't know much about metalwork/welding. If you felt like rambling on about your work or techniques or processes, I'd find that most edifying.

Lil' Mjolnir

>>21494466

Who he?

>>21494557
he's right. All good weapons have names. this masterwork must be given a title for its saga.

>>21494584

Will.

>>21494627

"Saint Eligius (also Eloy or Loye) (French: Éloi) (c. 588 – 1 December 660) is the patron saint of goldsmiths, other metalworkers, and coin collectors. "

Now you know, half the battle, etc.

>>21494584
Dedication

Teutcher

>>21494560
well i started off first by turning the entire raw material a cherry red then i started to pound it into a shape i wanted. while keeping it that cherry red.

After my first initial shape i started to shape the edges with a grinder (being really gently with it and keep it redish. but not orange.)

then shape it again while drawing it (just means to stretch the metal) one the shape and length is acquired i dipped it in motor oil. instantly lowering the materials temp. (they do it in oil because water will make it brittle why exactly is beyond me.)

then i start to temper it. just running the torch over it very lightly until a light gold appears almost like a hay color. right after the rainbow color. if you see grey you have gone to far. ^^

>>21494520

yes I do :3 Mtg and some D&D also just started getting into battle tech DM gave me a mad cat for an enemy of 5 :D was sweet!

>>21494647
gonna have to go with St. Eligius, or at least Eloy or Loye on this one. Tale of heroism is to good, needs an honest, biblefight-worthy saint name for this relic.

D: wtf... is my hammer that entire sentence?!

>>21494607

I am also curious. I was thinking along the lines of a carpenter's hammer.

>>21494672

Hope you got room on the hammerhead to engrave all of that in, welderbro.

>>21494672
So lets shorten that then OP. Lets go with Mad Cat.

>>21494584
Val'nyr the Dedicator

>>21494672
HORRY SHET.

The hammer's name is now either

"Yesido" or "Dwassweet"

I vote for Yesido.

because someone might ask you, "Dude, do you have an epic relic blacksmith hammer?"

and your answer is "yesido"

D: can i name my own hammer though?

>>21494694
ish joo a welderbro too?!

>>21494697
Seconded.

>>21494697
Mad Cat. Seems fitting judging the quest he went on for it.

>>21494673
>>21494665
>>21494647

I like this too. The hammer's even a little gold, so the name fits twice.

>>21494673
Eh one off I'd go with St. Eligius since it is an actual name and very related.

>>21494697
Needs a definite article. The Mad Cat.

Argh both Mad Cat and Elegius are good. Decisions are haaaaaaaarrrrd.

>>21494654
>they do it in oil because water will make it brittle
I assume it's because water absorbs more heat, and cools it faster for a more rapid and more significant drop in temperature. I'm probably even less likely to know than you, though.

Thanks for the description, though. Hold no illusions that I could do something like that, but it's cool to know a little about it. If I ever write anything involving something like this, I just might be able to do it right. Plus it's just cool to know things.

>>21494720
>>21494732
>>21494738
Mad Cat Elegius?

>>21494647
in honor of this, It should be named Eligius

I'd guess that "Mad Cat" sounds more intriguing, because it's not the sort of thing you'd associate with a hammer, it's more the name for a motorbike or something. Someone asks about it, and you have to go "well, you see, there's a story there..."

I like Eligius and it certainly fits, but it seems more... conventional?

>>21494773
...not sure i'm pretty sure that's a level 10 quest think i need to do some more errand quests first.

>>21494748
Mad Cat Elegius! DO IT!

>>21494748
Seems appropriate. The Mad Cat Elegius.

>>21494780

Nah, "I had some anons on the internet guess a name" isn't that great a story. Stick with Eligius.

>>21494748
I actually like this one to be honest :3

This thread seems archive-worthy. What should I call it so it doesn't get confused with a quest thread?

>>21494738
Who says it can't have two names? One is the "proper" name, the other be the nickname.

Saint "Mad Cat" Elegius, the Relic Hammer (of Mohan?)

Could you just put 'Mad Cat' on one side and 'Eligus' on the other?

Alternately, I'm pretty sure you could find equivalents of Eligus' role in other mythologies, if Christianity isn't your schtick.

>>21494789
Good choice. It was just refluffed Tome of Horrors anyways.

"storytime" tends to be the tag when we're relating our own tales of derring-do, but search for that tag befor eyou submit the thread to check for variations.

name it after your sister

>>21494837
Yeah i could do that. I wonder if a metal engraver will work on wood...?

>>21494849
Aw crap, too late.

>>21494865
Also might make it harder for someone to steal. Possibly even stain the handle a particular color or something?

The Epic Of Mohan's Relic

>>21494855

No offense, but I think it'd be a bit weird for a tool that's used to bash things all day to be named after me. It might seem like a bit of a passive-aggressive backhanded compliment.

>>21494876
could stain it a cherry red I think i have some left over from the side project i did for my mom a couple months back

Any man who can MAKE HIS OWN HAMMER get serious fucking props in my world, Anon.

>>21494893
hey hey hey i wouldn't bash things with it. I just slide it across the slag gently....most times.... also more horrible pics!

>>21494911
Ty ^^ still on top of the world right now

+1 vote for Eligius.

Also, good idea to get it engraved, if theft really is that big of a risk you need to make a mark on it. Getting it on the head is probably a better idea as someone could just swap the handle.

>>21494940
Etch Eligius on the hammer itself, with The Mad Cat on the handle.

>>21494965
This seems like the best course of action, OP.

>>21494978
will do! I have work in the am and want to show off my hammer. ^^ so good night guys and thanks for reading my story!

Eligius, because if he's the patron saint of metalworkers, and one of the key things that reccommended your promotion to journeyman was your willingness to help coworkers without bitching (vocally at least j/k ), then your selfless self-sacrifice means that you're on your way to becoming a paladin of steel.

>>21495023
DMs should learn from this story. I'm already thinking of how I could incorporate this. Rest assured Mad Cat Eligius will be a relic as soon as I can place it in my setting

Y'know, before everything else, it's kinda nice to see someone taking pride in their work.

Can we get a screencap of the story posts squished together? newfag here with no 4chan ability to speak of

OP, I was gonna post something, but fuck, you own this thread.
This is YOUR victory, your day, and I won't impinge on it.
This drink is for you!

Now I must roll up a Paladin dedicated to the quest of retrieving a sacred relic to his Patron god of smithing, The Hammer Of Saint Eligius.

I was going to be a welder. But my short fat self couldn't take the mental abuse.

This tale is amazing.

Mohan's Mallet (yes, I know its not a mallet) or Mohan's Mad Cat.

Also, What type of mine, and where?
I ask because I live in a small mining town in northern Canada.
