The Miner, the Merc, and the Smithy

**The Miner, the Merc, and the Smithy** (採掘と鍛冶と傭兵) is the 5th Main Quest in *Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising*.

## Description

CJ headed to The Quarry, showing her newly acquired Explorer's License to enter. After doing a little exploring, a giant boulder fell, blocking her path. She attempted to climb over it, but chipped her weapon. She informed the guards and one left to inform Isha about the obstacle. The second guard told CJ about a good blacksmith on Outlander Lane, although, unfortunately, the shop was not yet open. CJ met Hogan at the entrance to Outlander Lane and he introduced her to the blacksmith, Tatara. He asked for some iron ore to run the furnace and gave CJ his old pickaxe so she could mine, although he informed her that she would need something better to get the really good stuff.

Tatara also told CJ that other people wanted to set up shops, and mentioned that he saw one such person in the Plaza. CJ headed to the quarry and managed to obtain the ore from some of the rocks there. She returned and handed over the iron ore. Tatara was able to use it to run the furnace and open the Smithy. Once it was open, Tatara repaired her weapon. However, he and Hogan cautioned her from going back to the Quarry as she would still not be able to pass the boulder. They suggested she wait for Isha to take care of it, but CJ didn't want to. At that time, Garoo showed up, wanting his sword sharpened. He and Hogan are from the same hometown, and Hogan was surprised to see him in New Nevaeh.

Hogan asked why Garoo had such a large sword, thinking he was going to join the town guard. Garoo stated that his goal was the Runebarrows. Hogan recommended that CJ and Garoo go together, believing that Garoo's sword could easily remove the boulder blocking the path. The pair argued, with Hogan stepping in as a crowd gathered. CJ explained that she was looking for a humongous lens as part of her rite of passage. She explained that she had to find something bigger than her ancestors, adding that her father pulled a massive raw lens from the belly of a fiend. They continued arguing until Hogan spoke up for CJ and her skills, mentioning the first time they met. In the end, Garoo had to say that CJ had been toilet trained since she was one a half years old several times before she agreed to become his partner. The pair then moved on to the quarry,
