Randwulf 	So what'll it be? Reckon ye've got what it takes to train with the best godsdamned blacksmiths in the realm?
Randwulf 	Hah, that's the spirit! If ye'd taken any longer to decide, I'd have told ye to bugger off no matter what ye said.
Randwulf 	Can't have half-arsed adventurers wastin' Forgemaster Brithael's precious time, see. He's got a lot of irons in the fire. That's why me and the other lads make a point o' keepin' idlers, imbeciles, and the otherwise unqualified from gettin' in his way.
Randwulf 	Anyroad, it's time ye went and paid yer respects to the man─he's the one over yonder makin' a face like he's carryin' the weight o' the world on his shoulders.
Randwulf 	Gone soft on me, have ye? We need women/men with a will of iron, not girls/boys who balk at the thought o' commitment.
Randwulf 	Still...there's always work for the willin'. Should ye find yer spine, we might consider yer membership once more. Till then, bugger off.
 	
Brithael 	'Bout time Randwulf sent me a new recruit! Ahhh, it's been too long... Ahem. I'm Brithael, forgemaster o' the Blacksmiths' Guild.
Brithael 	If yer aimin' to become a smitty worth the name, 'twould be my great pleasure to educate ye on the finer points o' the craft.
Brithael 	Oh, the rest o' these sour-faced bastards'll tell ye it's hard, gruelin' work fit only fer the best an' brightest, but I say put a hammer in the hands o' the willin' an' see what happens!
Brithael 	What d'ye say then, lass/lad? Will ye swing a hammer fer ol' Brithael?
 	
Brithael 	Ha ha! I knew I liked ye the moment I set eyes on ye...er... What did ye say yer name was again?
Brithael 	[Player Name]! A name fit fer a hero if ever I heard one! In fact, I reckon I did hear it in a bard's song once! ...Or was it that poor sod cursin' in his cups at the Wench?
Brithael 	Bah! Don't matter if it was savin' the world or cuckoldin' yer husband/beddin' someone's mother─'tis time to forge yerself a new reputation, pound out a new legend! An' ye can trust ol' Brithael to help ye do it!
Brithael 	But there I go, puttin' the cart before the chocobo. Here, lass/lad─take this cross-pein hammer. A smitty without a hammer is like me without a drink─bloody useless!
Brithael 	Well, don't jus' stand there gawpin' at her. Take her in yer hands, have a few practice swings, whatever ye fancy! She's all yours now.
Brithael 	Ah, what I wouldn't give to be you right now, lass/lad. A smitty never forgets his first hammer... <sniff>
Brithael 	Say it ain't so, lass/lad! You an' me, we'd get on right as rain, we would! I beg ye reconsider...
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
