Re: MERC

[New Recruit] "Still, looks like quite the gun. Then again, on Eberron, guns aren't very common and the ones that do exist, they only have one barrel. Now, me, I like my crossbows. Silent, precise, and light depending on what you make it from and how you make it. However, maybe in your world, ...

Re: MERC

[New Recruit] Jerick looks up in time to see the cannonball crash through the dummy and into the wall, igniting everything it comes into contact with. He takes off his earmuffs and walks toward the dummy. He seems completely unphased by the fire. "Hahaha!! It looks like it works well! Well the...

[New Recruit]

Jerick also puts on his own ear protection, a pair of earmuffs more similar to headphones than anything else with runes inscribed on both ear cups, then continues taking notes and observing the two weapons.

Re: MERC

[New Recruit] Jerick sits down on a chair, pulls out his notebook, and starts scribbling notations, events of the day, and any other things that may need to be written, all the while looking to see if the cannon, and more importantly the multi-element extension for it, works. Another he was paying ...

[New Recruit] "Not so much of a warsmith as an all-around tinkerer. A dabbler in various subjects like alchemy, transmutation, energy manipulation, that sort of thing. I don't know much about a warforged's insides, but I do know enough to be able to repair one fairly well." [/font] Up unt...

Re: MERC

[New Recruit] Jerick follows Olvisin and the other goblins into the firing range. At the first sight of Frigate, Jerick couldn't help but feel excited. He looks almost just like a warforged from back on Eberron, although of a much more dwarven make, and with some key differences. He had to remind h...
