How does one find statues related to fire and forging? You open your eyes and search carefully, right? Well, right now we have a problem. None of us know a single thing about forging!
Let's just say that if given the chance to create a weapon our respective approach would be sothing like:
-Old man uses acid on the tal block! It's super effective! With great control, only the extra material turns into a black puddle on the ground! Wow!
-MC said fuck that shit. MC picked up the tal block directly and is now beating people with it!
So yeah, if we claim to be the second-worst references on the topic no one would dare claim last place! Of that I am confident!
[Say, old man, what is that?]
"Well, it looks like an anvil."
[But I swear that dwarf has a pearl in his hand!]
"Eh, maybe. Could it be so tal sphere instead?"
[What about that one? He's near a forge, right? Sohow it looks really similar to an oven. I swear I could make so pies in that statue one with a fire source! It's even hollow!]
"What about this one? It looks like a weird fish."
[Yes, but it's swimming in what appears to be magma! Look at that dwarf statue just watching with a smile!]
Before long we are overwheld. We try a ton and a ton of combinations, but it never works. What now?
"Wait! Is that!"
[?!?]
"Look there! See how this dwarf's clothing is carved?"
[What about it? It looks pretty bad, to be honest. No fashion sense.]
"See right there! A little fire emblem! We are looking for sothing related to Forgar!"
[Oh! So that would be his trademark?!]
"Sothing like that!"
[Alright gotta try this!]
After a long ti, we have found every statue with a small symbol. Then we bring them one after the other to the circle in the middle. Actually, I'm mostly the one that does it. My companion is really weak. He says excuses about being a mage.
Now both of us are just watching all the statues positioned around.
[Now what?]
"Ah, this is a pain. Maybe we need to move them?"
[Quite possibly. Maybe we need to place them in order according to the forging process!]
"For sure!"
Then we get to work! Joke, we have no clue how to forge. Like lt the thing, hamr it, cool it. That is the extent of my knowledge. But right now there are many statues for each of these steps. Oh, and also so obscures ones that none of us can figure out.
[Welp, ti for the best strategy of all ti!]
"You know how to do it?"
[Yep, watch!]
I grab a rock from sowhere. Then I draw an arrow on it.
[Perfect!]
I throw it in the air. Then it falls back down and hits the ground.
"That's it?" He seems perplexed.
One shouldn't underestimate this technique! I once passed an exam all thanks to it! I think.
[See that statue? That's the one the magical wise rock is telling us is the first to]
"That's one with the finished product."
[Yes, I ant the last one. It will be the sa.]
We move it. Now, again! A few tries repetitions later it fails us.
[Welp, was worth a try. Wanna try to throw it? Maybe you have better luck than ?]
"? Luck? Earlier you ca out of nowhere to enter my spell, then you beat up. I'm pretty sure my luck is at an all-ti low."
[Fair enough. Anyway, just keep trying randomly. We know nothing anyway about this.]
He nods. Then we try so more stuff.
"Say, how about we use more acid. You know really fill up this place with acid. Very potent one. I do not believe that any hidden entrance will remain hidden for long."
[I like your drive but we aren't trying to invade them. We are on a mission of peace. Kinda.]
"What's with the kinda?"
[Oh, I just need an item from them. To prevent sothing called an Abyss Devourer from entering the continent or sothing.]
"W-what?! Did you say an abyss devourer?! One or an army?! These things are never alone!"
[Oh yeah, a legion of them.]
"How are you so damn calm! This is extinction level! I'd rather have the whole continent sink than deal with these monsters! Fuck resting! I'll try every single option even if it kills !"
Then he energetically gets to work. Seems these creatures are a big deal, for him to panic so much. I guess they caused a lot of destruction in the past. He's working so fast that it would seem like this puzzle is the last thing standing between him and the most beautiful wife.
Sadly there is no way that
"I got it!!!"
*GRIND*
How?! The mont I stop trying he sohow magically gets it right?! Perhaps it's the fear of death that sent his brain into overdrive. Then for a second, he was a genius or sothing I don't know.
[Good job!]
Then in the middle slowly raises a platform. Then an opening appears. There is a small passage there that leads downward.
[Nice!]
"I'll watch our back."
Not that I mind. I'm hard to kill. I enter and start walking. But a few minutes later I stop.
"What's happening in front?"
In front of is a small sign. One that takes a while to read, cause I'm pretty much a beginner.
[Hahahahaha.]
"Is there sothing wrong?"
[Just co here, there is no danger.]
When he sees the sign he has the sa reaction as : disbelief then annoyance.
"Now what?"
[Wellwe tried the polite approach. Since that didn't work we won't have any other choice.]
"So, acid?"
[For now how about we just bash our way through? It won't be too late to use acid if it takes too long.]
*Nod*
[Right, when we get there do remind of sothing.]
"What?"
[Well, that sign was really cheeky. Remind to get our objective before beating anyone up.]
"Alright, will do!"
Now, where should we dig? How about right there?
Yep, that will do! Dwarves, here we co!!
