Grimm's Journal — Apr 03

Just spent the whole day running between the mountains of Minoc and my forge, and I swear the ore's getting scarcer by the hour. Finally smelted down a decent batch, only to get completely addled and botch ten cutlasses in a row—turns out I was short a few ingots after all that. At least my back's not broken from the haul; this new pack is worth every copper.
