Corin raised an eyebrow. “How much of what?”

Several trees have suitable branches. Unfortunately, said branches are growing from said trees.

Are there anyone not right next to the Casino? The Redspine would probably wait for someone to leave that area before ambushing them.

“No! Ah! Stop! I meant we can’t tie him up cause he’s got a magic sword. He’s literally surrendering!” Tondon is waving his arms in the air slightly. @LightRinger can probably hear. Tondon’s half talking to Jaksyn here, after all. 

“That makes sense. Why did you sign up, anyway?” He almost motions for Roy to sit down near him, but then remembers the magic sword. He turns to Astra and Mark (@The Stormfather. Haven’t pinged you yet this post.) “Is there any way to stop him from immediately stabbing us with his unblockable sword? Cause I feel like he might do that, if he’s lying.” 

 @BlueWildRye 

"look i never wanted to sign up in the first place." roy said dismissing his sword. "I was forced to by the very people who now torment us. if you want to trust me here please take my sword and hold it so that I cant use it."

Quote

roy can always summon it back but he does not know that.

Tinker stepped back, a confused look on his face, knife held in front of him.

"Why?" he asked simply.

Ignoring his question, Astra continued.

"Do you have any allies in this arena?"

22 hours ago, The Bookwyrm said:

Tinker gasped as the knife jerked in his hand. It slipped from his fingers and shot towards Tondon.

He stood there for a moment, and met Astra's eyes for a second. Then, without waiting for an answer, he ducked into the Casino and slammed the door behind him.

(oh whoops i didn't see this)

Astra yelped in surprise, then anger, and lunged at the Casino door, pulling it open. @Edema Rue

"I know you could summon that sword in my face right now." Mark understands Shardblades. His only friend in the mines had been a imprisoned Skybreaker. 

"Giving us the sword wouldn't do anything. You can call it back to yourself. Leave here, Roy, and don't come back, or I'll kill you myself. " Mark's face sets into a much more dark expression, and his eyes seem to glaze over, not expressing any emotion.

Tinker looked at him dryly. "Look, I'm not murdering people for you. This spike is all I have. I guess there's the blood, too, because you seem so interested in that." Venom laced his tone.

“What are you mad at me for?! He stabbed you!” Tondon calls at the closed door, which isn’t mad about it.

Tondon shrinks back. “You’re scarier now than when I first met you.” 
 

Considering the situation for a moment, Tondon decides to leave, entering the one remaining casino door. @Edema Rue 

“I killed someone. I didn’t strike the final blow, but I do think I struck the lethal one. I wish I didn’t, but he had me promise to remember his revolution, so I want to make his death mean something. Can I have more iron, and more food? I ate a good deal of both.” He holds up his mostly empty stock of beef jerky, multivitamins, and iron fillings. His eyes are solemn, at least as solemn as Tondon can be. “If that’s not enough, may I have a second bracer of duralumin?” He considers some more, then says, “if you have any special deals to offer, I’d be glad to hear about them. I’ve got this feb-rail, I think he called it. It tells you when people are near.” 

Quote

I’m definitely not fishing for the hemalurgic spike. If Tondon gets it, he’ll have more power and the GMs will have some influence over him. Maybe they can use that to make the story more interesting… 

I’ll take other deals though. But I think this one will make the narrative of the games more interesting. It seems like we’ve got a shortage of fighting right now. 
Any idea if Elan is active enough for some gambling in addition to the trading?

“I was wondering if you had something that you had a deal on, or something you think would be helpful.” his eyes light up. “A whole bunch of people have these weird magic swords. Can you give me information for the feb-rail thing? I think if I go up against someone with one, I’m gonna die really fast. How do you block one, how do you prevent someone from getting one into their hand, what does the grey cut thing do, and where do you actually get one from?” 

Quote

I know the answers. Shardblades aren’t quite as unstoppable as Tondon thinks… he’s carrying around an object that is like 94% aluminum and also quite invested. But it’s metagaming if I have him guess. 
Also, I got a box from a bog a really long time ago. It had a spore kit (no tools other than a silver knife, but all the spores we know of) What metal is the box made of, just for my inventory record (and any other feruchemists.) 

Kinda sad that all the GMs dropped off the map. If Tondon dies, I could help pick up some slack, if you want.

Tinker sighed. "Okay...can you at least switch out a part of the survival equipment for a silver knife, and a small rod each of steel and iron?  I think we can make due without a tent. And we don't need bandages."

[Unintelligenius he/him]

KuLaam stood up and took a long, deep breath. He always felt powerful right after taking in a new body. He picked up his two glass daggers and went looking for some tributes to have some fun with. He tried to keep himself from being to excited but just couldn't stop himself from smiling and getting a little spring in his step. His work, his purpose, was finally being done.

Corin holds out his hand for the fabrial. “I’ll give you information…and, maybe, something to help.”

Corin also gave him food and iron refills, right? For killing Quelkin.

Oop—

sorry my brain is in a weird place right now and I can’t remember like anything. So yeah assume that he did. 

Corin turns it over, looking at it as he talks. It sounds more like he’s reading a from a book than explaining what he knows.

”They’re called Shardblades. They are larger but lighter than any normal sword, often nearly six feet in length, while simultaneously extremely light. All Shardblades that are bound to a specific owner can be summoned and dismissed at will. When summoned, they appear in one's hand, coalescing out of mist.

”Shardblades can cut through non-living objects, such as wood or stone, as if they are passing through water. Even though they can cut through nearly any material, there is still a slight bit of resistance even when cutting through inanimate objects. When cutting through an object, Shardblades leave behind distinctive perfectly clean cuts. However, when swung at a person or other living object, the edge of the Shardblade will fuzz, leaving the physical body unharmed, and cutting the being's soul….”

Quote

And he basically recites the rest of what the coppermind has on shard blades from there

Towards the end of his speech, Corin looks up, meeting Tondon’s eyes. “They can be blocked by shardplate, a set of magical armor. I can give you shardplate, but you’ll need to pay.”

“Does the armor mess with ironpulling? How much would it cost?” He considers it. “Do you think I’d be able to become one of these Radiants?” 

Quote

Did Corin tell Tondon he currently has a shardblade blocking object on his arm? Or is he withholding the fact that both aluminum alloys and metalminds can also deflect them?

 Also, do you think that Tondon would make a good dustbringer? He seems like the kind of person to press all the buttons to find out what they do, which is the starting state of a dustbringers. They get more responsible as they swear more oaths, though.

Is he wearing a metal mind?

I’m going to be honest, I read for stories but I’m not super well versed in all the different magic things, so I really don’t know most of the answers he wants

“I could make you a Radiant. The cost will be…painful. Unless you can offer me anything else? Any investiture, any secrets, anything at all?”

"Who's left?"

Her breath slowed from its rapid pace.
