Grimm's Journal — Mar 27

Spent the whole blasted day at the forge in Minoc, trying to hammer out some decent plate gorgets. Must have ruined over fifty of the things before my arms gave out – I swear the anvil was laughing at me by the end. At least I managed to salvage enough ingots to finally craft a couple of new tongs, so the trip to the mine won't be a complete waste tomorrow.
