I would like to offer weapons and protection for those who help us fight. Here is what we have to offer:

[Melee weapons]: Staffs, spears, axes, knives, swords. Of both Asgardian and other make. Some come from various doors but we also have some from Sagranda.

[Guns]: We picked up a collection of guns from Sagranda. No old-fashioned Midgardian stuff among it but if you want to blow a hole into a wall, we've got you covered.

[Protection]: We have shields and armour from Sagranda and some Asgardian shields. If anyone else needs something custom-made, I am in contact with armouries right now. On Midgard, you will look out of place with it but Dad has that covered.

And as a token of gratitude that you are all willing to help my son - I cannot express my gratitude enough - please keep whatever you take.

If someone wants to do some training before we go in, I'm happy to organise sessions.

Thank you all,
Katherine

I'd be happy to help with some of the training.

My name's Dan Foster. I'm fairly new here. I've offered to help create some very strong, powerful and magical metals to help but I will need help fashioning them into weapons and armour. Do you know of anyone who would be able to help? Bryn's helping gather materials and it'll take me a while to make the metal but I'll need help fashioning it into weapons and armour to keep people safe.

Thank you, Dan. And thank you for helping Bill. Rhysand and I are very grateful.

That is a wonderful offer. My first idea would be to ask Stark or Finn Collins. The first is an engineer who built his own armour, the latter has some skill in metal work as well. I will consult my family as well. If you cannot find anyone, I can get you an appointment with someone on Tz'tena. My cousin just offered to accompany you as a translator.

I'm sure Bryn will be able to gather the materials with ease but if you need extra help... we can get you materials as well.

Cheers, that's good to know.

These metals. They come from Atlantis. I learned about how to make them a few months back, maybe a bit more. Came with the memories returning, which is a sort of long story in itself. The point is, they are incredibly useful. Especially Orikalk. It's especially useful against supernatural powers, magic and the like. It can offer protection against it, repel them, or if used in the form of a weapon, can take away magical essence from whoever or whatever it strikes. These metals are part of the secrets of a lost people. I had hoped to keep my heritage something of a secret here but with everything going on, there's no point in hiding it.

	If this is precious material, make sure you pick someone who is a skilled blacksmith and not just a metal worker. Making a fine weapon is an art. Pick someone who has experience with making the type of weapon you demand. An unskilled hand can ruin the finest material and render the weapon useless. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That is what I am hoping to find. I'm going to be putting a lot of time and energy into making these metals and the Ambrosia reserves that might help keep people healed and alive, especially those using magic. It takes a lot of my personal essence to make these things, but it's worth it. If I just remember to rest, it shouldn't be a problem.

I can make small blades rather well. Light weapons and armour but I am not so great at getting the balance right on larger weapons and armour.

	A wise man knows his weaknesses. I see that is true for you. If you cannot fight anyone suitable, I will assist you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A lot of peoples lives are on the line. I think my ego can take a few dents through admitted weakness. If you can help, that would be appreciated. Sorry I don't think I caught your name. My name is Dan Foster. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I will help if no one else is capable or willing. If not needed, I will focus my efforts elsewhere. I am Loki, son of Odin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fair enough. Really? ~~Fuck me this place is just as mental as home~~. It's good to meet you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	truly_desperate 2019-11-03 12:45 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. Really. Why would I lie? It is nice to meet you too, Dan Foster. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hey man, this place would have fallen apart two days after we got here if not for me. I'm not just a metal worker. Does anyone just call you just a magician? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Finn daddyissues_ 2019-11-03 11:32 am UTC (link)
	Dad's remark was more directed at me I think. Don't take advice from my daughter, she knows nothing about this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kat _spacewalker 2019-11-03 12:08 pm UTC (link)
	Still, kind of a jackass thing to say. I fold my weapons thank you. They aren't just big sheets of metal that can be easily broken. And I've worked with some pretty inferior metals and made them work too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Finn daddyissues_ 2019-11-03 12:30 pm UTC (link)
	Finn, calm down. He didn't say any of that. I introduced you as someone who can do metal work. All Dad did was to say that you need more than someone who can do just that. He did not say that you can't do this, just pointing out that from my description you might not be as suitable as I make you out to be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kat _spacewalker 2019-11-03 08:39 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, but I've been to your house. I fixed the room that Thor put his hammer through. Surely he didn't think that the work around the station was getting itself done? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Finn daddyissues_ 2019-11-03 09:38 pm UTC (link)
	How was he supposed to know that's you? We had a genie around. And even if he knew, that's not the work of someone who specialises in weapons. How is he supposed to know you are a highly skilled armourer from knowing you can fix a station? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kat _spacewalker 2019-11-03 10:18 pm UTC (link)
	I stand by what I said. Because it is the equilavent to me saying he's just a magician. But I'll remember that I'm "just a metal worker" the next time wheel one needs repairs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Finn daddyissues_ 2019-11-03 10:27 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, fine. Take it personally if you want. I'm done with this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kat _spacewalker 2019-11-04 04:59 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, you're shit at calming someone down. But thanks for the permission to be offended. Maybe next time tell your Dad not to be such an asshole. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	truly_desperate 2019-11-03 09:46 am UTC (link)
	Dad has this covered? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh, Daddy, if you are currently struggling with your magic, I can ask grandma. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hello, Katherine. I am from 1832, so my shooting experience has been with a flintlock pistol. The one I arrived with is broken. What would you recommend I could learn to use the most effectively in a short time? I also know how to make ammunition for said weapon, but it might be a transferable skill with some research. If it helps. Merci, Enjolras (Reply to this) (Thread)

	daddyissues_ 2019-11-03 09:42 pm UTC (link)
	Nice to meet you Enjolras. I don't think you can go wrong with one of the laser weapons. You will need to get used to them but they are very easy to handle. I am happy to teach you how to use them. Luckily, you also do not need any ammunition for them. It's a game changer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	barricadeboy 2019-11-04 07:38 am UTC (link)
	Thank you, that is very good of you. No ammunition is definitely a game changer. Incredible! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	namedaftergran 2019-11-03 04:01 pm UTC (link)
	I can help with the gun training. I have my own collection as well, gathered through many doors over the years from Earth and many other worlds. I'll lend them out to anyone who wants. I have ammo too. (Reply to this) (Thread)
