Grimm's Journal — Apr 03

Spent most of the day at the forge in Minoc, trying to hammer out a decent set of plate gorgets, but my heart wasn't in it after burning through a pile of ingots on failed attempts. I finally gave up after the fifth one came out looking more like a fancy collar for a sheep. Think I'll head back to the mines near Vesper tomorrow—swinging a pickaxe is simpler, and the iron always makes sense.
