Tinkery
By Thorenson Threefingers
Ah, tinkering, my life's work. No craftsman puts as much concentration into his art as a tinker shaping a beautiful piece of jewelry, or knows as much fear as a tinker putting the finishing touches on a fine explosive bomb.
Now, there are several different types of pieces you can shape, but they're all basically the same. You just take your tinkers tools, and use them (carefully now) on the materials. For materials you can select iron, wood, clay, or gold, and each makes a separate set of parts. Now, some of the metal or wood pieces can combine to make a more complicated piece, if you know what I mean. For example, you can take clock parts (made from springs and and axle and gears) on a clock frame (which you can get from any good carpenter) and you can make a clock. It's all very simple.
There are some tinkers who are known to dabble in the more delicate side of our craft. All you need is a well-made, lockable chest, and either a poison potion, an explosive potion, or a good hunk of steel. Use your tinker tools on the chest to bore out the spot for the trap, then carefully slide it in. Now, I'm talking from experience here -- they don't call me Threefingers for nothing now. If you're not careful it could go off in your face! If everything goes well, though, you've provided a nasty surprise for the next thief that comes a calling!
If your tastes are a bit more refined, get yourself some golden ingots from a blacksmith, and hire a miner to dig you some nice gems. You can make a beautiful piece of jewelry for the woman in your life.
Well, best of luck to you, friend, and don't compete too much with old Thorenson Threefingers!
