Book Text:
Excerpts from a burnt
journal.
After my last interaction
with the combine I decided
that I should get this in
writing. Something I have
done has made them
uncomfortable. The combine
act like they need help but
then for some reason they
became paranoid. I do not
| understand it yet, but
maybe I will after some
time.
I think I have only
scratched the surface of
what can be done with these
energeian they are speaking
of. The basis of items
made with it use something
they call conduit. They
make this conduit by
|
| melting some very pure
metal with an element I
have yet to be able to
identify. While it is
still warm, they take
this... I guess I would
call it alloy, though that
does not really fit because
the substance is not a
metal, and alloy is
different combination of
metals. The substance is
| closer to gemstone, though
even that does not quite
fit correctly. But I
digress. While it is still
warm, they form the alloy
into a long tube that seems
to help the energy pass
through the item into which
it has been integrated.
While I have seen them
making the conduits in
jewelry kits, I believe
|
| that the supplies needed
can also be found in a
toolkit.
They weave this conduit
into various forms suitable
for different pieces of
equipment. The cap and
cylinder shapes can be made
using only one piece of
conduit. The sandals,
gloves, sleeves, web and
| small core patterns need
two conduits, while the
leggings, shirt, and large
core need three conduits.
Once the conduits have been
shaped, they can then be
carefully intertwined into
weapons and armor made by
those with the appropriate
skill. This is delicate
work, so it can be more
|
| difficult than some
equipment of similar
workmanship, but despite
that, it seems to make a
very high quality piece of
equipment. Tailors can
make cloth and leather
armor, while smiths can
make chain and plate armor,
along with a kite shield
and a few weapons.
Fletchers can make a bow,
| and people with knowledge
of spell research can make
an ornamental wand.
They make the armor using
the appropriate amount of
silk swatches, leather
hide, chain swatches, or
metal sheets along with the
appropriate pattern or
mold. The amount is
proportionate to the
|
| amount of conduits needed
for each piece.
Additionally, tailors will
need thread, and smiths
will need armor padding.
They made the kite shields
using a conduit web and
three metal sheets in a
kite shield mold.
The weapons seemed a bit
more complex, but one thing
| was consistent: If it
needed one hand to wield,
it used a small core, while
if two hands were needed it
used a large core. They
used the following when
they made each:
Short Blade: Short blade
mold, leather hide, and
metal sheet.
Long Blade: Great sword
blade mold, leather hide,
|
| and two metal sheets.
Hammer: Hammer Head Mold,
small wood haft, and metal
sheet.
Maul: Large Head Mold,
large wood haft, and two
metal sheets.
Dagger: Dagger Blade Mold,
leather hide, and metal
sheet.
Spear: Broad Spear Blade
Mold, leather hide, and two
| metal sheets.
Claws: Claws mold, leather
hide, and metal sheet.
Bow: Silk string and a bow
stave.
Wand: A wooden wand and
either a bloodstone, star
rose quartz, or peridot.
What I have not yet figured
is the exact nature of the
silk, leather, and metal
|
| they are using, nor how
they make the energeian.
