Description
A piece of blazing hot metal is pulled from the forge at roughly 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit and set on the anvil. Whack! Whack! Whack! The Blacksmith looks down at their already cooling metal and decides it needs to be warmed back up in the coals. What is the Blacksmith making or fixing? That is for you to come see!
