"Right, nice bluff. But you knew nothing of that weapon until I told you about them. Only person in the kingdom who knows anything about those things is Pikey, and he's left by now."

"Stop argueing. His weapon is just an improvement of goblin fireworks and dwarven explosives. It's not that hard to figure out."

"Oh that's right I keep forgetting you know everything. We can't fail with the all knowing pussy cat around. So did you know Cid was going to start a coup d'etat and did nothing, or is the amazing lynx not all he's cooked up to be."

"I was in Aetherea for a day, and I was just passing throguh. I didn't bother to investigate in the Captain of the Royal Guard. But this I have been thinking about, and I know it. And I've done a lot of research on goblin and dwarven technology, and overseen the productions of them."

"Yes and those are wrapped in paper and ceramics. What's your point? You know magic. You need a metalurgist and an alchemist to make these things."

(ooc: rocketry and gunmaking are two completely different fields. The objective is the same but they are not.)

OOC: He never said they would be perfect weapons, just functional

"I happen to have several years worth of training and experience in metalurgist and alchemist fields. When you lived as long as I have, you do anything you can to pass the time."

OOC: As for you having this smart drunk mercenary never seemed to bother you...

ooc: some drunks aren't as stupid as you seem to think they are. Gin is very well educated.

"Even if you could build it. It would be months before we could use it in any kind of practicality. We have days not months."

OOC: That of course explains his job choice of mercenary...

ooc: He choose to be a mercenary cause he is disgusted by the nobility exploiting everyone to get ahead. So given the choice of living inside the system or outside of it he chose outside. He is a skilled swordsmen, which means he's studied, and in studying combat he's studied other things, poetry, music, rhetoric, arithmatic, and medicine for instance. Being a mercenary just pays his bills.

OOC: Because of course, all nobility are corrupt and will do anything for more money...

When is next chapter anyway? I think who is staying and who is going is settled...
