Ahead lies...?

[Nephrite]

"...Really?!" Moore blurts out, his face full of amused exasperation. "I've been telling you this whole time and you keep demanding, and now you're asking me how?! How do you think I got this!?"

[Anastasia]

With the cube held Elena waves her arms up and down, "Well, answer me! It could be a fake for all I know or a trick!"

[Nephrite]

"...REALLY?!" Moore shouts.

He takes in a deep breath.

"He gave it to me. He's still being a curmudgeony old man, but I can tell he still cares about you and this place. It's... uh, not done -- it's incomplete, I mean, but I think it'd still work a little bit, anyway." He explains. "I don't think he's going to be able to physically come here and see you for a while... I don't know that for certain, but I'm pretty sure on that."

[Anastasia]

Elena shrinks back, "...It's not done," she says, defensively, "Someone will need to finish it."

[Nephrite]

"If that's a request, then I can work on it." Moore says. "I wasn't sure if you'd want me to, or wanted others here to do it."

[Anastasia]

"Well...Afina would be good, but she's off hunting Gathgorian," Elena considers, "Sylvie would be great, but..." A trail off there. "Are you skilled at that sort of artisan work?"

[Nephrite]

"You know I can do anything if I set my mind to it." Moore declares.

[Anastasia]

"...well..." Elena says, "Then come on, can you try?"

[Nephrite]

Moore makes an extremely melodramatic marching motion forward.

Before anything else, he'd want to get a general of idea of how much time this is likely to take for him to do. It's not that he won't do it if it will take time, but he'd still try and figure it out!

[Anastasia]

Okay, do you have any item crafting feats or can you get access to them somehow? Need to know that first.

[Nephrite]

He can do literally anything! ~bards~

[Anastasia]

Seriously, you can pull out item creation feats from nowhere?

[Nephrite]

Oh, sorry, somehow I misread feats as 'skills'... not sure how I managed that one.

No, he does not have any item crafting feats.

[Anastasia]

You fiddle with it a time but quickly realize you're going to need more specialized knowledge in item creation. You know a lot, but that's a very demanding field that requires an investment of talent.

[Nephrite]

Surely Gold's still there!
